Chained to you

We were standing all alone and you were leaning in to speak to me

Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me

And I think about it all the time

Sweet temptation rush all over me

And I think about it all the time

Passion desire so intense I can't take it anymore.

"I remember. I remember where I met that gorgeous guy. His name was Gil," Rita said to herself as she lay on her bed. Her memory was coming back. "Paris. Did I ever went to Paris? Probably, because that place is definitely Paris. Where else would you find the Eiffel Tower? He was so nice. He made her feel like she was the only woman on the whole world. He had that gift with people."

The memories of her night with Gilderoy came flooding back to her. "Ooh! The passion that we shared. I still get hot when I think about it. His body is so divine. And he knows how to work it! I'd thought nobody was ever interested in me that way!"

I feel the magic all around you

It's bringing me to my knees

Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

"I was chained to you, from that night on. Until I lost my memory. But I know you must have lost your memory too. Can I fill the hole? You must know there is something missing in your life. Me for instance. I will go look for you. Little Miss Perfect, has me on probation anyway..."

"Little Miss Perfect. She should be chained too. Or maybe she is... I know she is torn between two men. One of which can never be hers!" Rita laughed.

"It seems as though I have found mine again. Will I be able to rekindle that flame, that burned throughout that night? Can I escape the pain he has caused me? Will he have learned from losing his memory that the female mind is nothing you should take for granted. He used to do so. He loved himself, more than he ever loved me.

And when you looked into my eyes

I felt a sudden sense of urgency

Fascination casts a spell

and you became more than just a mystery

And I think about you all the time

Is this fate is it my destiny

That I think about you all the time

I no longer pretend to have my hands on the wheel.

"I still love him, despite of all that he has put me through. There is no easy way to love. And someway the roads to true love are mostly the guilty ones. Guilty, because we have to learn how valuable true love is. I'm so lucky to have found my love again. It had lain hidden within me, all this time. Memories of a hidden past. I only hope it's not to late for the both of us..."

Rita grabbed her cloak. She had to hurry if she wanted to be in St. Mungo's on time...

"St. Mungo's, he's in St. Mungo's. People with severe spell damage go there. Hopefully he remembers me. I will take care of him. I will stay by his side. Maybe my face will let him remember. And if I can't be with him in this form, I can choose another in an instant. Little Miss Perfect can't have anything to say to that. Being with the person you love is what everybody wants..."

"Life is not fair. So many years spilled, because of his ignorance to the power of broken wands. His ignorance of the female mind. The female mind is a thing to be treasured. It is a power of unlimited sacrifice for the man it holds close. And to my mind, that's you Gil. There will never be anyone else! Not now, not ever again!"
