🖤The Dark Twin🖤

51. The Dark Mark

Draco POV.

I could tell that what we're doing was getting to Hera. Hoping we don't get caught. Praying no one would see right through us. Our lives are getting scarier by the day. Now Voldemort came to show his face to us. He's a nightmare.

"Draco. Umm they want us for a meeting downstairs." Hera comes to tell me.

"Alright I was just finished packing." I say kinda knowing where this night is going to go.

Hera waited for me. So we could go down together. As we walked I could tell a switch flipped in her as we gotten closer to the rest. Something I will always envy. I haven't mastered how to mask my fear.

"There you two are." Mother says as we walk in.

And the sight scared me. All the death eaters seated around the table with Voldemort at the end.

"Come in child, it's your night." He says with a cold tone in his voice

We sat down as the meeting starts.

"We're all joined here for an order of business but also to welcome our new member." He says standing looking directly at me.
"Stand and come to me." He says and the room is silent and all I hear is my heavy breathing.

"Draco. Get up ,boy." Father says to me

I quickly stand and walk to a man I've feared to ever see with my own eyes.
He grabs my arm and I'm fighting not to cry. He puts the dark mark on my arm. And gives me a awkward hug.

"Welcome, Child." He says to me.
"Now sit. It's time for business."

As I sit Hera grabs my hand trying to comfort me. I don't know if I could ever feel a sense of comfort again will this is on my body.

"Lestrange bring her out." Voldemort says

Bellatrix stands up and comes back dragging a lady in the room. They throw her on the table, tied up.

"I wanted to make an example of the muggleborns. Let them know who's in charge." Voldemort says sitting in his chair

The lady was scared. Crying and trying to get free. As she looked around the table she spotted Professor Snape. I couldn't hear what she tried to say but Voldemort could on.

"Severus, do you know this poor soul?" He asks him

"No". He simply says looking disgusted

"Well Hera, dear, would you like to do the honors." Voldemort says

I had a feeling he was testing her.

" My pleasure." Hera says standing up at her seat.

She cast one of the unforgivable spells, Crucio. The torturing curse. The lady yells in pain begging for someone to help her.
I look at Hera and it looks like she's getting too caught up in this. She smiles at Bellatrix approval.

"Nagini, she's yours." Hera says sitting down watching as the snake attacks her.

All the screaming ends once she's finally dead. And you can tell who it affected and the ones that wasn't fazed a bit by it. They sat there like it was normal.

Hera sat there like it was normal.

After everyone was sent our different ways. Some left while others went to their rooms. Hera and I went to our room.

Hera walks in and starts her nightly routine like normal. As I'm still in shock standing at the door.

"Babe, you want take a shower?" She asks from the bathroom

"What was that?" I ask

"What do you mean?" She asks coming back to the room taking down her hair

"You killed that lady."I say looking up at her.

"Sit down." She says sitting on the bed waiting for me to sit next to her.
"I did what had to be done. I had to live up to what I said and gain his trust." She explains

"When you step out of this room recently, you're a different person. Someone I've never thought I see you become. Someone I never wanted you to be." I say

"It's all role, remember." She says concerned

"It doesn't seem like it anymore. It's like you're turning into one of them. I saw your face down there, Hera." I say getting a bit upset

"Draco, I have to. Bellatrix says I have to act this way. She does it herself. She doesn't want to see me get killed because I'm not the Dark Twin they want me to be." She says trying to explain

"You're not the Dark Twin at all. Anything but that." I tell her

"Then why are you doubting me now?" She asks

"I'm just hoping that side of you that you're scared of won't consume you. Because baby, you're not that or whatever you're trying to make yourself look like. And telling the truth it scares me sometimes that one day it will." I explain

"Baby, I'm fine. I got it. I remind myself everyday the reason I'm here." She says holding my hand

"And what is that?" I ask curious about it

"That people like them needs to get stopped before anyone else has to suffer. And mainly it's because of you. I would have never let you go through this alone. I love you, Draco." She says

I lean in to kiss her.

"I love you too."

"Let's run that shower, I was talking about." Hera says giving me one last kiss before leaving to the bathroom to start the shower.

"I'll be in there, one second." I say

To be honest I this is the first time we've showered together. Or probably you know...

"Are you sure?" I ask getting up and walking into the bathroom to a sight that I couldn't believe my eyes

"I'm sure." She says getting into the shower, "Are you just going to stare or..."

"No, I'm just...You're.. Beautiful" I say stuttering over my words.

"Thanks. Now, strip." She simply says

Can I just say tonight was like no other. The next morning we're packing for Hogwarts. For a few minutes it felt like I had my normal life back. It felt like we were just teens getting ready to have another interesting year of our lives.

Sadly that was taken when, Father notified us that we'll see them soon for the next meeting when we get our assignments.

I don't see how my life went to the best years to the worst years of my life so fast. I just want this to be over.

Sorry if then scene with Draco and Hera was cut off. I had little bit of writers block and had no idea how to end that.
Anyways I hope it's not so bad.
