N/A: Thank yous go out to Raekitty13 for Kat's name, and Sanity for reviewing the story beforeit got posted.

Disclaimer: I did not write the Harry Potter books, because if I did write them Harry would have died with in the first three pages of the first chapter of the Sorcerer's Stone.

Kat was sitting out on her front porch starring at the sky. It was the middle of the day and she should really go to the store it was getting late, but she didn't want to go. She never got any time to do what she wanted, but eventually she broke down; the consequences for her were to great to disobey her mother's orders. Well at least I don't have to cook she thought. I thought there were child labor laws on this sort of thing.

Tonight was Kat's mom's big dinner party. The theme was singles and their "sole mates." Kat's mom's party's always had a pattern to them. Single people arrived, mingled, ate, drank, talked, drank more, and then when they were drunk, they left with somebody, usually they were of the opposite sex, but there was always an exception here or there, and every time Kat had stay in her room. But it wasn't like she wanted to be done there.

Kat's house was two stories. There was one kitchen, three bathrooms, five bedrooms, one for Mrs. Haren, on for Samantha, Kat's sister, one for guests, and the smallest one went to Kat, then there was the living room, the dinning room, the front room, the basement, and all the other rooms you would find in a house.

By seven the guests had all arrived at Mrs. Haren's party. All the usual were there like Mr. Smith, Ms. Franscodo, Ms. Harper, Ms. Remont, Mr. Martin, Ms. Harden, and Mr. Doorman. Mrs. Haren never threw big dinner parties. Fifteen people was the max. By seven thirty dinner was served and so was the first course of whine. At seven thirty five the next course of wine came. Then so on and so on till everyone was as drunk as they could be. Then they talked and found out what they could between slurred words about each other. At eleven people started to leave together and by eleven thirty every one was gone.

The house was totally trashed the next day, and it was Kat's job to clean it. She started with the kitchen and worked her way to the living room were her mom was watching the news. "And in to days report of your view on the government our Prime Minister has resigned after a man with a knife made an attempt on his life during a report to the press," the reporter said. "News reporters later talked to Mr. Connell, the chef of police, who said that the police had no comment on the case and that they would not answer any questions. Reporters later found out from an anomies source that the assassin in question escaped. Reporter Sharon Norman is live with us and she is with the ex. Prime Minister.

"Thank you Mark, ladies and gentlemen I'm sitting here with the ex. Prime Minister Mr. Stanford; now tell us why the sudden want to urge to rezine so close to the end of your term?"

"Well it's like this Sharon, I can't take it any more; I can't handle all the pressure of this blasted job."

"Surly, you knew there would be pressure involved with such a high ranking job though?"

"Of course I knew there would be some pressure involved in the job, but I never thought I'd have to deal with all these blasted wizards."

"Wizards?"

"O yes, they live among us in secret, not wanting you to know they ageist, but they do, and they affect our lives, ever day. Like the Brockdale Bridge last year, and all the people that are found dead with no reason why that's them. I'm not crazy it's true." The ex. Prime Minister got up and ran at the cameraman. "It's true," he shouted. "I'm not crazy they really ageist. They mess with your memory that is why no one knows they are real." The TV switched back to the new station.

The reporter looked shocked. "Ah, well in other news protests about the new gay rights bill is quickly…" Kat stopped paying attention to the TV. That poor man she thought.

That night when she went to sleep her dreams were filled with nightmares. It was pitch black and there was a man standing there. He was human, but more snake like than human though. His voice was like acid. "You should be ashamed. I have been calling for you for ages, yet you don't come. Why, is it I am not nice enough. Perhaps I should end your little vacations away from me if you refuse to come home."

"No," said a little voice, this one was female. "I.. I just…want some more time that's all, please"

"It's too late for that," the inhuman voice replied. "I will be seeing you very soon. It's time to wake up my daughter." Kat shout straight up in her bed, covered with sweat. But she wasn't in her bed, and she wasn't in her room either. The door opened and a man with a black cloak and a hood covering his face stepped in.

"Your father wants to see you," he said, and then he departed. Kat got up, wiped the sweat off her face and left the room. She went down the hall and knocked on a door.

"Come in," came the same inhuman voice from her dream. Kat entered the room and looked around. It was lavishly furnished with rugs, paintings, a fireplace and one chair. "Ah Kat you have returned to me how nice of you. Please tell me about your time away. I trust your family is treating you well."

"Yes, they are treating me very well."

"Any problems?"

"No"

"Good, good, now why was it you were so persistent to return to me?"

"I just wanted a little more time that's all."

Don't lie to me child. Do you think I am really that stupid!" The man shouted his voice going cold. "You must be punished for your insolence, and I'm sure you know what that means." He slipped a wand out of his pocked and pointed it at Kat. "Crucio," he shouted, and pain shot through Kat's body. Blinding white-hot pain that made her want to die made her body twist in all sorts of unnatural ways. With in seconds Kat blacked out. When she woke up she was back in bed, but it still wasn't hers. She was going to be stuck in this awful place for a long time, and she knew it.
