(Ophelia's POV)
It's been a few days since the trial. I thought I'd be able to get out of becoming a Death Eater and stuff, but today someone apparated outside of my house. It was Narcissa.

"Hello, darling. I'm here to take you to your initiation" she says

"Oh," I sigh. Fuck.

"Please don't be angry and at me for this. They could've sent any other Death Eater. So I came instead" she explains

"Right. Do I have time to change?" I ask

"Of course dear," she says. I let her come in and she sat in the sitting room as I went upstairs to change.

What the hell do you wear to your Death Eater initiation that you don't even want to go to?

Quickly changed into this

And we apparated to the initiation

And we apparated to the initiation. Well, I thought we were going to be apparating to the initiation, instead, we apparated to the Malfoy Manor.

"The initiation is here?" I ask

"Of course, when the Dark Lord returned he made it into his hideout" she casually says

"Right" I let out a nervous chuckle

"Even some Death Eaters have been sleeping in the guest rooms" she adds

I walk in and Death Eaters were left and right. To my surprise, Professor Snape was here. And Draco, he looked shocked to see me

Quickly Narcissa led me to their dining room. Memories come back to me. Draco and I sitting together at the table before the second year.

"Welcome," an eerie voice says. It was the Dark Lord.

Quickly we were seated at the long table. Just my luck, I had my seat next to Draco's.

The Dark Lord spoke about how today they were getting two new members

Two? I thought it was just me. Wait.

"Ophelia? Draco? Follow me" the Dark Lord summoned us to a room. It was most likely a study.

I know Draco was thinking the same things as me. But it made sense, his father is a Death Eater.

"Wait here," he said to Draco and he quickly waited outside.

Being in the same room as the Dark Lord was horrifying but not as bad as I had thought

"Your arm," he says. Hesitantly a raise my arm a bit. "If you refuse he'll kill you" I repeated in my head over and over

He placed his wand to my arm and a burning sensation flew throughout my body. Tears were escaping my eyes, my knees felt weak. I wanted to scream and cry, I knew I couldn't.

It was a slow process, the snake slithered around my forearm. I wanted to pull away, to fall on my knees. I grabbed onto the desk for support. Finally, he removed his wand, and there it was, the Dark Mark.
