Dracos POV
1 Month Later. It is the 18th of December, the holidays start today and the first semester of school is finished. I sigh while closing my bag, Ron is sitting on my bed, watching. Im going back to the Manor, making me extremley nervous.. I've been trying to forget what happened last time and the news Father shared with me but its too much. When im with people, I forget and live my life peacefully but as soon as im alone, thoughts flood my mind. I've had nights where I couldnt sleep because of these thoughts. Im not even excited about Christmas. I've already said bye to Pansy, now just Ron. He stands up and walks over to me. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?" He asks. "Yes" I lie, im not sure if I will be okay. He frowns and hugs me, I hug him back tightly, digging my face into his shoulder. I just want to stay in his arms forever. "Okay, but write to me if anything happens, you can always come to the Burrow" He says. "I know, thank you Ron" I kiss him and he holds me tightly. After a few seconds, we pull away and he smiles sweetly. "I love you" He says and I admire his face closely. "I love you too, Ron". 4 days later. I look out of my window, snows falling. I admire the pretty landscape from my window when a knock is heard on my door, I turn my head and Father enters my room. "Draco, we have to talk" He says and I gulp. What now? We both go downtstairs but instead of going into his office, we enter our dining room with a long table. The room is simple and all black. I've never liked it, its too sad and boring. My eyes widen once I see how many people are sitting at it. They stare at me. Mother and Snape are one of them. Aunt Bella is also here, looking crazy as ever. She grins widely, seeing me. I feel a lump grow in my throat, realising who these people are.. Death Eaters. Theres a big chair at the beggining of the table, it must be You Know Whos.. I cringe thinking about him. Mother looks at me with sad eyes and Father puts his hand on my shoulder, gripping it tightley. "My son, Draco." He says and the men I have never seen before, nod. Bellatrix gets up and walks over to me. "Hello, Draco Dear!" She says, amused. "Hello" I reply, shortly. "You've grown so much! Finally you can be one of us" She exclaims and runs her hand on my arm, grinning. I tense and force a slight smile. "Have you told him?" Mother asks, eyeing Father. "You will be getting the Dark Mark today" He says to me and my eyes widen. Oh no, this awful day has come. Bellatrix smiles and squeals. "Now?" I ask and he nods, his face tightening. "Lets sit down and wait" He says. Wait? I sit down at a free space by my Father, across from some Death Eater and Snape. I clench my fists from nerves, waiting. About 10 minutes, a dark black fog appears by the big chair and a figure appears. Voldemort. My eyes widen as he fully appears. "Hello everyone" He says and everyone greets him. Mine and his eyes meet. I try my best to not look afraid, even though im screaming inside. "Oh, Lucius, this is him?" He asks, observing me. "Yes, My Lord. Draco, my son" Father states, with a whole new voice I've never heard before. Its almost like hes also scared. Voldemort smiles evily at me and stands up, walking to me. "Draco.. Draco" He chants my name. "How great it is you are joining us" He says and puts his hand on my shoulder. His hand is freezing, making my body shiver. "I want him to get the mark first, then i'll tell my plan" He states and looks over at Snape, who nods. Snape gets up and I glance at my Father in fear. He throws me a glance and I can tell he wants me to stand up, so thats what I do. I stand up and feel Voldemort behind me, breathing down my neck. Snape walks up to me and he doesnt even look in my eyes. "Arm" He says and I roll up my black suit sleeve. He slightly sighs before reaching out for his wand. He holds my arm with one hand and then digs his wand into my left foream. He starts murmuring some words that I cant figure out. Suddenly, I feel a pain grow in my arm. A mark starts appearing and I feel everyone stare. I slightly squint my eyes from the pain. He continues and after a few minutes my left arm has a black skull and a snake mark on it. Snape takes his wand away and shoves it back into his robe. I turn around to everyone and Voldemort looks at it, with a evil smile "Perfect" He says and sits back down at his chair. I look at my arm, how has my life gone to this? I sit down by my Father, who looks at my mark. "Now, I have some things I want you to do Draco" Voldemort says, my head snaps up and listens. "Once you go back to school, you have to keep an eye on Potter and his friends, always. If anything happens, you are intented to tell me" He says with a strict tone. Doesnt seem too bad.. "Secondly, you have to poison the Mead Potion, which Snape will give to you. Your task is to make sure it is in Slughorns cabinet and Dumbledore drinks it" He continues. I have to poison Dumbledore?! Wait.. "If he drinks it, he will die. And thats what we want" He says and my eyes widen. It will kill Dumbledore.. "If this doesnt happen, you will have another task" He explains. "Do you know what a vanishing cabinet is?" He asks, "Yes" I reply and he nods. Hogwarts has a vanishing cabinet in the ROR. Its used for when someone or something enters or leaves the place. "You will have to use the vanishing cabinet and let some of us in, then you will have to kill Dumbeldore" He explains and I nod slowly. How am I supposed to do this?.. How can I kill Dumbledore?! Time Skip. All of the Death Eaters have left and so has Voldemort, thankfully. I sit at the same place with my head in my hands. "Draco.." Mother says and sits down by me. "Draco, look at me" She says and I look at her. She frowns "Calm down" She says. "Calm down? How can I be calm, Mother? I-I have to kill Dumbledore!" I exclaim and feel tears rise in my eyes. "Dont shout, Draco" Father says. He sighs deeply. "Did you understand everything you have to do?" He asks. "How do I make sure Dumbledore drinks the potion?" I ask. "Snape will help you, he has to. You just have to enter Slughorns classroom and place it somewhere, so he finds it." Father tells me. "But why Slughorn?" I ask. "Slughorn wants to give the Mead potion to Dumbeldore as a gift, Snape overhead him saying it to someone". "If he gives him the poisoned one, Dumbledore will drink it and then.." He doesnt finish his sentence. "Draco, you have to do it. Dont dare think about not doing it, you will only get yourself and us killed" He says sternly. I understand why hes so concerned about this, Im responsible about the life of both me and my parents. "I understand, Father" I say and sigh. Why cant I just live a normal life? Why cant I just be in a simple loving family, that arent Death eaters? Why does shit like this happen to me? I look at my Dark Mark and feel sick. Im going to have to live my whole life with this on my arm. What if someone in school sees it? What if Ron.. I cant let him see it. He'll be disgusted. And if Potter finds out.. Things wont be good. I go to my room and once I enter, I dont bother changing clothes, I flop onto my bed and dig my face into my pillow, letting tears roll. I eventually fall asleep.
