Alright, this is a repost of a story I wrote awhile ago and took down while I was editing it. There will be some slight edits, but I never actually finished the new version of this so it is largely the same. I realize there are a lot of things that could be better, but I am a full-time student and I have neither the time nor the energy to completely overhaul this right now. I may or may not ever post the rewritten version of this.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading (or rereading) this.

Aphrodite put her son, James, down on the plush carpet so she could grab a bandage for him. James had fallen outside and cut himself. She frowned when she felt her fingers close around a glass bottle inside the cabinet under the sink. Carefully, Aphrodite pulled the pink potion out from its hiding spot. "Amortentia," she gasped. "Why is this in...oh." Aphrodite fell back against the wall. She slowly sank down it. Tears began to fill her eyes.

"Gah?" James asked curiously.

Aphrodite gave her son a watery smile. She pulled him onto her lap and accioed a bandage from the box. She gently put it on James. "Aphrodite?" Ron called from downstairs.

Rage filled Aphrodite. Why did Ron have love potion hidden in their bathroom? What use could he have for it? He was her mate! He didn't need to use it on her, so who was he using it on? It most certainly wasn't Aphrodite's! "I'm up here, Ron!" Aphrodite shouted back, just barely keeping her anger under wraps. Ron's thundering footsteps could easily be heard coming up the steps. Aphrodite quickly hid the amortentia back in its hiding spot and wiped her tears. It was simply a fluke. That was all. Ron would never do that to her. He loved her. Aphrodite quickly wiped her teary eyes.

"Hello, love," Aphrodite smiled when Ron entered the small bathroom.

"Hey, babe," Ron grinned. He knelt down and picked James off of Aphrodite's stomach. "You ready to go visit Mum and Dad?"

"Don't forget your brothers and sister," Aphrodite laughed. "Are Hermione and Luna coming?"

"Just Hermione," Ron replied.

"I can't wait to see Teddy again, Ron. I think we're ready to take care of him, don't you?" If she just acted normal, Ron wouldn't suspect anything out of place. They'd had this fight plenty of times.

"I don't know, Aphi.". Ron's face had paled drastically. "Taking care of two babies is a lot of money.

"Ron, I'm Lady Potter. We have more money than we know what to do with." Aphrodite frowned at her boyfriend. What was wrong? "I understand if you don't want Teddy, Ron. I just thought it would be nice to have two babies running around."

"No, Aphrodite," Ron snapped. Aphrodite's eyes sharpened into a sharp glare. Ron's own eyes widened. "Sorry, Aphi. I didn't mean to snap like that. I just like having our tiny family."

"Sure," Aphrodite's cheeks flushed. First that Merlin-be-damned potion, and now Teddy. What right did Ron have to keep her from taking in her godson. "Right, sorry. I won't mention it again. If you'll excuse me, I need to go change James' diaper."

Aphrodite grabbed James from Ron's arms. She sped-walk into the nursery. Laying James down on the changing table, Aphrodite started wondering. Ron was known for losing his temper. He yelled quite a lot and it infuriated Aphrodite. She had sat him down when she found out she was pregnant and told him it had to stop. She wouldn't allow her son to grow up, scared of adults like she had been. He had seemed to have listened, hadn't yelled once in the past six months. What a coincident he would start up again on the day she found a love potion in the cabinet. Was that suspicious at all?

"You ready yet!" Ron yelled up the stairs.

"Coming, love," Aphrodite shouted back, not bothering to hide her eye roll. Only James was here to see it. She slid on her flip flops, picked James up, and started down the stairs. Ron grabbed her arm roughly and without warning, turning on the spot and disapparating with Aphrodite and James in tow.

"Aunt Aphi!" Teddy shouted excitedly as they popped back into existence.

"Hello, Teddy," Aphrodite smiled. She knelt down to hug her godson. "Have you been being good for Bill and Fleur?"

"Yes, Aunt Aphi," Teddy grinned. "Will you and Jamie pway with me and Vickie?"

"Course, love," Aphrodite replied. "Let me just say hello to everyone." Teddy clapped his hands and ran off to find Victoire. Aphrodite smiled and stood up to greet the others.

"Hello, dearie," Molly grinned happily. She crushed Aphrodite in a hug before grabbing James. James almost immediately burst into tears. Molly looked extremely upset by this.

Aphrodite quickly took him back. "Sorry, Molly. He doesn't like being taken away from me abruptly. Ron can hardly manage it." Ron nodded in agreement.

"That's all right, dear," Molly sighed. She glared at Aphrodite as she left the room to go find the others. The only people left in the room were Ron and Molly. "That little brat," Molly hissed. "How dare she train your son to act like that. When you marry her, Ronald, make sure she learns her place as your slave. It's the only place for creatures like her."

"Of course, Mum," Ron smirked. "Soon, soon enough we'll have the Potter fortune and all the power that comes with being a veela's mate and Lord Potter."

"That's my boy," Molly smiled. She patted Ron on the back of the head. "Go out and mingle. Stay late, your father and I want to discuss our plans with you."

"Sure thing," Ron said as he left the room. Molly followed closely behind him.

Later that night, after everyone had gone home, Aphrodite lay passed out on the couch. Ron smirked as he placed the dreamless sleep bottle back in his pocket. He had given her enough so she would stay asleep for several hours. He left James sleeping curled into her side. Ron walked into the kitchen of the Burrow. "She's asleep," he called out to his parents.

"Good job, Ron," Arthur said. "Now, let's talk about our plans. You have the engagement ring, yes?" Ron nodded and pulled it out of his pocket. "Good. When Aphrodite wakes up, you'll propose to her. You'll get married in a few months. Once your married to her, you'll become Lord Potter and be very influential in the Ministry. Then, you'll teach Aphrodite her place. She belongs where all other creatures belong, on her knees servicing her master. That's you. With you as Lord Potter, you'll have access to all the Potter funds and own more than a quarter of the wizarding world. We'll run Wizarding Britain."

"Exactly, Ronald," Molly smirked. "You're still feeding her the love potion, yes?"

"Yes, Mum," Ron said.

"Good, she won't be able to say no one you propose then. A veela marriage is binding. Once you're married to her, she's stuck to you for life. Which means, we're set for life."

Aphrodite yawned as she woke up. She smiled when she saw James staring at her with wide green eyes, identical to her own. Checking her battered watch, she could see it was just a little past midnight. "I bet you're hungry, huh, baby?' she whispered playfully. She picked James up in her arms and carried him to the kitchen. She stopped when she heard voices coming from inside.

"Then, you'll teach Aphrodite her place," Arthur chuckled from behind the door. "She belongs where all other creatures belong, on her knees servicing her master. That's you. With you as Lord Potter, you'll have access to all the Potter funds and own more than a quarter of the wizarding world. We'll run wizarding Britain."

"Exactly, Ronald," Molly smirked. "You're still feeding her the love potion, yes?"

"Yes, Mum," Ron said.

Aphrodite gasped softly and stepped back. She rushed from the room to the living room. She quickly set up silencing wards. Stepping into the Floo, she shouted, "Gringotts! Ragnok's Office!" Aphrodite fell out of the Floo in the office of Ragnok, the Goblin King.

"Miss Potter," Ragnok smiled, "How may I be of service?"

Aphrodite collapsed onto the seat in front of the goblin. "I'm sorry for coming so late, King Ragnok," she apologized. "I would have waited until morning if it weren't so urgent. I need to know if amortentia has been used on me, and I need to know what money has been taken out of my vault by any person besides of myself. I have a feeling people I trusted have been using me to their advantage."

"Ah," Ragnok sighed. He pulled a bowl out of his desk. "If you'll just prick your finger and allow some blood to fall into here." Aphrodite did as the goblin asked. Ragnok waved his hand over the bowl. He frowned as he sat back in his chair and pulled some documents out of the top drawer. "You have been subjected to love potion for about six years now, Lady Potter. It runs thick through your veins. Give it a few days and it should have all washed through your system. As for your vaults, well, you should take a look at this."

Aphrodite leaned forward to take the documents from Ragnok. She felt her eyes become misty as she looked over the document. How could they have done this to her? She had loved them like her own parents! She had loved Ron more than life itself, or she thought she had.

The bank statement made it official. Arthur, Molly, and Ron Weasley were no friends of hers. They had taken over a million galleons from her. Tears began rolling down her cheeks as the parchment fluttered back to the surface of the wooden desk. "I thought he loved me," Aphrodite choked out. "How could he?"

"Well, let us see," Ragnok drawled sarcastically. "You're the Girl Who Conquered, Lady Potter, and a veela. Why wouldn't he?"

"I always knew he was jealous," Aphrodite's voice shook as tears formed in her eyes, "But I honestly thought he had gotten over it."

Ragnok eyed the girl curiously. "You must understand veela and goblins have never had close relations, Miss Potter. You are the first veela besides of your mother to treat goblins politely in over three centuries. For this reason, I will aid you. Take this." Ragnok handed Aphrodite a ring with the Gringotts crest on it. "When you are ready to leave, just wish it and you will be transported to the place where goblins originated. The goblins who still there are primitive. They will kill you. Go pack now. You must hurry."

"Thank you," Aphrodite gasped. She quickly grabbed the ring and slid it onto her finger. "Thank you so much, King Ragnok." Ragnok nodded as Aphrodite disapparated with her son.

Aphrodite stumbled slightly when she landed in her bedroom at her house. It was silent which meant Ron was still at the Burrow. Hopefully, he didn't know she was gone yet. Aphrodite dropped James on the bed, grabbed a bag, and started shoving clothes in it. When she had shoved in a few days worth, she ran into James' room to grab some of his tiny clothes.

Attempting to be quick, Aphrodite brought James downstairs and packed some non-perishable food. She also threw a few healing potions in her bag before shrinking it and shoving it in her pocket. She picked James up and wrapped a blanket around him. Take us away, she thought. I'm ready to leave. Nothing happened.

"What?" Aphrodite asked when she opened her eyes and she and James were still in the kitchen. She jumped when the Floo went off.

"Aphrodite!" Ron shouted. "Where the bloody hell are you?" Aphrodite moved back toward the door. She put James on the counter behind her. Ron was really pissed. Aphrodite cringed when she bumped a pan. It made a crash as it fell to the floor. "There you are," Ron smirked as he peered around the kitchen door.

Aphrodite's chest heaved as her breath quickened. "Stay away from me. I know what you're planning."

Ron's eyes widened in fury. He stalked forwards, his hand raised. Aphrodite pressed back against the counter, reaching for her wand. Ron swung his arm, fist colliding with the side of Aphrodite's cheek. She gasped in shock. Ron's other fist connected with her stomach. Aphrodite brought her hands up in a weak defense, turning her back in an effort to protect James. She groaned in pain when, mixed with the throbbing from the punches, the goblin ring began to burn. A pure white blasted out of the ring and hit Ron, sending him flying backwards.

Aphrodite didn't stay to see if Ron would get up. She grabbed James and fled out the back door. She ran as fast as she could. Daring to look back, she saw Ron in the doorway. He began to give chase. Aphrodite faced forwards once more and sprinted across the street to the dark alley across from her house.

Aphrodite ran through the alley a quick as she could. She clutched James tightly to her chest. She couldn't believe Ron hit her.

The baby against her chest began crying. "Hush, James," Aphrodite whispered to her infant. "It's alright, baby."

"Aphrodite, get your ass back here!" a voice called out to her. Aphrodite flipped around. Her eyes widened in fear. Ron ran forwards and wrapped his arms around her and the baby she had conceived with him. Aphrodite struggled to get free. "How dare you run out on me!"

"Stay away from my baby and me!" Aphrodite snarled.

"Don't talk to me that way whore," Ron hissed. "You will get your sorry ass back into my house right now!"

Aphrodite broke away from her boyfriend's grip. "I hate you, Ronald Weasley," she spat out. Magic began swirling around her. Ron, like the idiot he was, tried to edge closer to her. Aphrodite's eyes widened as she stared at the magic. She pulled James tighter to her chest Your place is to serve me. You do not get to run away!"

"Get away from me, Ronald!" Aphrodite shrieked. "I can't believe you! I hate you!" Ron as she disappeared from the dark alley. Ron groaned when he realized his girlfriend was nowhere to be seen. He stood up. How was he going to explain this to his mother.
