The Mark

Narcissa, Draco, and Y/n arrived at Knockturn Alley. They walked the dark alley to go into Borgin and Burkes. Y/n wished she could have went with the trio and Pansy.

Pansy had owled her telling her they'd be at Fred and George's new shop, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Y/n wanted to see the twins badly and support them, but Voldemort had commanded her to go with Narcissa and Draco. He wanted Y/n to see Draco receive the dark mark.

Draco wore his black suit, he had grown a lot. Y/n wore a black dress and they walked together, hands intertwined. Narcissa kept looking around to make sure no one had seen them as they walked into Borgin and Burkes. Draco's grip tightened as they reached their destination.

Many other death eaters had come as well, to see the cabinet. Draco placed his hand on the cabinet, touching it and looking at it. Y/n hugged him tightly and Narcissa kissed his cheek. Y/n knew Draco was terrified, hell she would be too.

The initiation was beginning, Voldemort appeared with his wand. He asked Draco to roll up his sleeve. Voldemort grabbed his arm, pulling him slightly towards him. Draco glanced at Y/n as Voldemort raised his wand. The wand pressed against his skin, piercing the dark mark onto his forearm. He slightly winced as it began to form. Voldemort raised his hand back up with a smile. Draco Malfoy was officially a death eater.

Y/n and Draco sat besides each other while Pansy and Blaise sat together on the train. Pansy talked about how fun it was to spend time with the trio, which made Y/n a little sad and Draco annoyed at Pansy. All Y/n wanted was a normal life.

The train went black making Y/n cough. "What was that? Why is it black?" Draco stood up asking around and Blaise told him he didn't know. No one knew what was going on. "It's probably just a first year messing around." Pansy said and Y/n nodded. "C'mon Draco sit down, we'll be at Hogwarts soon." He fixed his suit as he sat by Y/n, holding her hand at the bottom of the table.

"Hogwarts. What a pathetic excuse of a school." Draco scoffed. "I think I'd pitch myself off the Astronomy Tower if I had to continue for another two years." Y/n began to move her thumb softly on the top of his hand trying to calm him down. "What's that suppose to mean?" Pansy asked him. "Let's just say I don't think you'll see me wasting my times in Charms class next year." He slightly glanced up to where the bags were placed making Y/n furrow her eyebrows. Blaise chuckled making Draco a bit angry, "Amused, Blaise? We'll see who's just laughing in the end." Draco continued to look up at the bag compartment making Y/n suspicious of what he knew.

The train had finally stopped and Y/n began to stand up, but Draco pulled her down. She looked at him confused, but he turned his attention to Blaise and Pansy. "You two go on. I wanna check something." He told them and they walked out of the train. Leaving Y/n and Draco the only ones in the Slytherin side.

"Draco what's wrong?" Y/n asked, but he didn't answer. He went over to the sliding door and closed it, putting the blind down as well. "Didn't mommy ever tell you it was rude to eavesdrop, Potter?" Draco raised his wand at the blanket on top of the compartment, "Petrificus Totalus!" The blanket dropped showing Harry. Y/n's eyes widened as she saw he was wearing an invisible cloak. Draco walked over to him pulling the cloak off fully. "Oh yeah, she was dead before you could wipe the drill of your chin." Draco raised his foot and kicked Harry right on his nose, breaking it. "That's for my father. Enjoy your ride back to London." He got the cloak again putting it over Harry's body. "Draco! Enough!" Y/n sat up pulling him and getting his brief case. "Go, now." She commanded and Draco scoffed. He fixed his black suit as he left the train. Y/n kneeled beside Harry, "I am so sorry." She said quickly before meeting up with Draco, who was waiting outside for her.

"There was no need for that Draco." She told him, but he ignored her. They walked towards the luggage and Filch. There were aurors there as well for security. "What's this cane here, then?" Filch asked Draco. "It's not a cane, you cretin. It's a walking stick." He replied back. "And what exactly would you be wanting a walking stick? It could be constructed as an offensive weapon." Draco rolled his eyes as he was about to reply, but Snape came. "It's all right Mr. Filch. I can vouch for Mr. Malfoy." Draco grabbed the stick back from him and turned to the gate. Harry and Luna were there, "Nice face, Potter." Draco said smugly making Y/n sigh. Draco grabbed Y/n's hand as they walked back into Hogwarts.

Dinner was fairly quiet since Y/n didn't want to speak to Draco. She was mad at him for what he had done to Harry. Even if Harry was eavesdropping, he didn't deserve a kick in the face. Y/n slowly ate some jello as she watch Dumbledore get up to speak.

"Very best of evenings to you all." Dumbledore began. "First off, let me introduce the newest member of our staff Horace Slughorn. Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say, has agreed to resume his old post as Potions Master. Meanwhile, the post of defense against the dark arts will be taken by Professor Snape." Many students began to question that, except for the Slytherin's – they began to clap. "As you know each and everyone of you were searched upon your arrival here tonight. And you have the right to know why. Once there was a young man, who, like you, sat in this very spot, walked this castles corridors, slept under its roof. He seemed to all the world a student like any other. His name? Tom Riddle."

Students began to whisper and Y/n slightly stiffened up. This was the first time she had ever heard her fathers real name be said in Hogwarts by a professor. Draco looked over at Y/n placing his hand on top of hers on the table. "Today of course he's known all over the world by another name. Which is why I, as I stand looking out upon you all tonight I am reminded of a sobering fact. Every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate this castles walls. But in the end, their greatest weapon is you. Just something to think about. Now off to bed. Pip-pip." Y/n sighed as she got up. Draco was still sitting down thinking. Y/n touched his shoulder shaking him from his thoughts as he finally got up.

The couple walked together in silence thinking about Dumbledore's speech and Voldemort. Everything was happening quickly and both of them weren't prepared for any of this. They didn't ask for this, they didn't want this life.
