Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

A/N: this a short chappi, but it'll be important to what'll come later on!

Anika kissed the tip of Dorcas' nose the way she used to when her sister was only a child.

"Why don't you come home? Please Anika...I really miss seeing you in your room!" Dorcas whispered into her sister's ear as they hugged goodbye, making Anika smile. She kissed her a few more time before pulling away.

"What happened at Christmas Eve was more than enough proof to keep me away D, but I promise to take you to North America and Wizard World for the rest of the week. We'll have lots of time to hang out...just like before. I love you too much to stay away!" and with one last kiss Anika left her sister behind and walked out the large Potter party room and out of their mansion.

Since apperating wasn't possible in the Potter's ancient heavily shielded mansion and the grounds around it, the Potters always found a way to have their guests transported to the house from the point in which they could apperate which was a few miles away. This year Mrs. Potter had her friends from Persia send a few dozen exotic flying carpets, each with a design so beautiful it nearly took Anika's breath away as she preceded to get on top of the one standing in midair closest to her. However before she could get on top of it she heard her name being called and turned around to see a glimpse of a tall buff man with his wand out before he hit her with a spell that left her entire body numb and fell to the floor, barely feeling the second spell that hit her and left her unconscious.

Rubbing her head, Anika woke up rather dizzy and bit nauseas. She slowly sat up looking around at the room she was in with surprise. She was lying on an exquisite bed with black silk sheets that felt incredibly soft against her bare arms and feet. The bed was placed in a room so beautiful it took Anika's breath away the walls were curved to make the most beautiful wall drawings she had ever seen, the huge chandelier above her head twinkled with the most exquisite crystals in the world, and the amazingly close view of the planets for the ceiling left her numb.

After taking the room in Anika stared down to realized she was still wearing her old dress robes from the night before. With a small yelp she suddenly remembered something she preferred to have not, the feeling of nausea quickly increased and Anika bend over the bed and retched her stomach empty.

Whipping her mouth with a shaky hand she heard soft footsteps that belong to more than one person and pulled herself up just as the door opened to reveal a tall handsome man with shiny black hair and scarlet eyes dressed in silk black robs with red strips across the chest, two others stood behind him both tall and hooded in black, though she barely noticed. Her shaking went up a notch knowing the man with the red eyes was one to be terrified of. As he opened his mouth his very voice sent chills down Anika's spine, though she had no idea who he was.

"Anika Meadows, I hope you like my house. It's rather lovely isn't it? I thought someone artistic like you would surely appreciate it," he smiled as she gave the room a dark glance, a smile that seemed far too cold, "it's a shame you aren't feeling too well this morning, perhaps another time you would have enjoyed sleeping here more."

Something in his smile made her look over the bed to where she had puked and gasped when she found it clean. How did he know, Anika thought franticly.

"I thought maybe you'd like to join me for breakfast, I had my chefs make dishes so exotic even you'd be impressed," though still smiling his voice had suddenly become much more commanding and Anika knew there was no backing out of this, not that she wasn't going to try.

"Thank you, but I'm not dressed well enough to be dinning so well this morning. Perhaps I can go home and we could try this in the evening," as she said this she got off of the bed and was about to walk to the door, when she saw the man's smile widen a bit, his smile made her feel even more ill.

"That wouldn't be necessarily Ms. Meadows," the man had reached into his dress robes and brought out his wand, before Anika could say anything he gave a short flick of his wrists and the clothes over her body vanished, leaving her standing naked. Her face flushed red as she desperately tried to cover herself feeling violated and weak.

The red eyed man suddenly flicked his wrist again and Anika's body was suddenly covered in gold dress robes that clung to her body like a glove and had tiny rubies woven into the fabric itself. The gorgeous new dress however wasn't enough to fade the frightening memory of her standing there naked, something the red-eyed man had surely intended on!

"How do you like the dress? I can make one even more exquisite with silk even finer than this," he said ready to flick his wand again.

"NO!" Anika exclaimed terrified of standing there naked once again and quickly felt ashamed of her fear and realized sickly that she had fallen right into the man's trap.

"Very well than, follow me into the dining room," he turned around and started out the door, the other two men however stayed behind moving towards the door only after Anika had passed it.
