(NOTE : This follows on from what Sirius saw. WILL FINISH THIS CHAPTER ON FRIDAY.)

Half an hour later, Lana was still in Lucius mansion. Lana had wanted to get out of there as soon as she could, after the bathroom incident, she got the feeling that Lucius was starting to have feelings for her which he really shouldnt, and that was the last thing Lana needed on top of everything else.

Now she was sat in the main living room of Lucius house, wearing a dress that he had brought for her. It was black and gold - shorter than she would usually wear. It had no straps, and the black was broken by the gold snake on the front - it was a nice dress, expensive...Lana wouldnt ever wear something like this, but Lucius had insisted, and when the price of losing the game was her life, Lana given in around 5 minutes ago.

On her feet were high heeled gold shoes, again which Lucius had brought her. (What am I, a fucking doll?) she thought to herself. Around her neck was a gold chain with a snake on. Trying to hide her nervousness at what Lucius was going to ask her, Lana stopped tapping her foot.

Lucius walked back into the room, and Lana stood up.

"I really should be going now," Lana said, silently pleading for him not to touch her.

"I want you to wear that tonight." said Lucius, causing Lana to falter for a moment.

"Excuse me?" she asked, putting her hand on her hip.

"I want you to wear that tonight. There is a - dinner party being held at Notts. Narcissa isnt attending - and I want you to be there instead." he said, in a tone that suggested this was an order, not a request.

"Well I cant be there." Lana said, staring at Lucius.

"And why not?" he asked, eyes narrowing.

"You want reasons? Okay. I've been here since last night at 9pm. Its now - " Lana looked at her watch - "Almost 1 in the afternoon. Im cutting it fine being here this long. If I disappear tonight again, theyre going to know somethings up."

Lucius cold grey eyes looked Lana up and down and then he smiled. "People want you to be there. Specific people. Important people. Im sure you can think of something to get away from that idiot boyfriend of yours, and those...Mudblood lovers that you are so close to."

Lana stared. She felt the colour rising in her pale cheeks. "I am not someone who you can command Lucius. Im not your wife. Im not a lackey. And I wont be there tonight, no matter how much you try to tell me that I have to be there."

He laughed. "Thats what I love about you Lana, that...Disregard for authority. Lack of respect for your equals."

"Youre far from my equal Lucius...We both know I have more power than you can even comprehend." Lana said, eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Yes, and thats why you have to be there tonight. To prove your allegiance with us." He saw the worried look on Lanas face. "Dont worry - Avery and Macnairs mistresses will be there.."

Lana raised her eyebrows. "Oh and that comforts me because?"

Again, he laughed. "You need to relax more." He walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Lana resisted the urge to shove him off and gave him a big, fake smile. "Fine. You win. I'll come. But...You owe me. Big time."

"You know...You look really, really sexy in this..." he said, tracing a line across stomach, making her jump slightly. "Silk really..."

Lana stepped back. "Like I said, I have to go." She told him firmly, and disappeared in a burst of black and red flame.
