I had stayed with the Malfoy's a bit longer, the dark lord was going to come today and I was officially going to become one of them. "Are you ready?" Asked Narcissa as I entered the room where they usually have their meetings, "yeah." I said unsurely. Draco and Lucius entered the room and I noticed that Draco looked scared, so I walked up to him.

 "Everything will be okay!" I took his hand but he just gave me a weak smile, "whatever happens you must give him all your respect, be honest and DON'T look into his eyes and only speak when spoken to!" Lucius warned me from across the room, "take a seat next to Draco, dear." Narcissa said and she took a seat next to Lucius. Death eaters started to appear as we all waited for Voldemort, while waited for them all the death eaters were looking at me and they knew I was a Weasley and that my family was against them.

"Well well, what do we have here?" Bellatrix said as she spotted me, she walked up to me, and to say I was terrified would be an understatement, the last time we saw each other was when I was with Harry. "I see Draco brought his little lover girl and that cis-" she wasn't able to finish her sentence because Draco got up from his seat, "leave her alone!" Draco said, "Draco, sit down!" I whispered and took his hand, I dragged him down and he sat back down. 

As he sat down, Voldemort entered and we all got up. As he entered his eyes roamed the room and his eyes stopped on me, "well, who do we have here?" he questioned. Voldemort walked up to me, "I-I'm Athena Weasley." I said trying to keep my composure. He was surprised when I said I was a Weasly, "A Weasly?" He gasped while smirking, I nodded, he walked away and walked to his seat, he sat down, meaning we were able to sit now.

As I sat down I felt Draco's hands reach out for my hand and I noticed that his hands were shaking, I held his hand tight and I wished he knew that everything would be fine. "Lucius has told me you will join us," Voldemort told me, making me the center of attention, everyone was looking at me. "Yes my lord, I'm not working with my family or Potter." As I said that, Voldemort got up from his seat and walked to where Draco and I were, "Draco will be giving you the mark. Since he's your lover, he will be doing the honors. Draco, your wand."

 Voldermort asked Draco and ordered both of us to get up, as I got up I turned around and looked at Narcissa, I saw the fear in her eyes. We walked away from the table, and Voldemort handed Draco his wand, as Draco took his wand, I saw the fear in his eyes as well but he had no option. "Go on," Voldermot said and Draco placed his wand on top of my arm. Everything went by so fast, I looked down at my arm and there it was the dark mark. It burned terribly but Draco told me I had to be brave and try not to show my weakness, 

"We have a strong one here, well done Draco. You picked a good one!" Voldermort said and walked back to the table, Draco rushed to my side and held me. "I'm sorry," he whispered, he held me and took me back to my chair. "Your first task will be telling us everything your family will do, and especially Harry!" Voldemort said to me, 

"I understand my lord," I said and with that, the meeting was over. I was getting up from my seat but everything went black and all I heard was Draco, "Athena!" he yelled. 

I woke up to people talking, "I shouldn't have done it." I heard Draco say to someone "I didn't want it either but you didn't have an opinion." Narcissa said, "Draco.." I said, "Athena!" Draco said and rushed to my side and sat down. "Dear! I was so worried about you!" Said Narcissa as she walked up to the bed, "I'm so sorry!" Draco said taking my hand, "I'll leave you both alone," Narcissa said and she exited the room, I tried to sit up but my hand was burning, "ow!" I said while Draco helped me sit up, "Draco this is not your fault. The pain will go away, we have to focus on my task and your task, the day is almost coming up." I said and he just nodded. 

The next day the mark was still burning but I knew that it was going to go away and I had to be strong. "Draco?" I whispered as I heard someone crying in the middle of the night, I got up and rushed to the bathroom and there he was, crying. I rushed to his side and hugged him, "I was chosen, I can't do this!" He said as he was crying, I didn't know what to say, he had to do it or he would get killed. "We don't have an option," I said and he cried even harder, when he was done crying, we went back to his bed. As I sat down on his bed, he took my hand. "After I do my task, nothing would be the same and he has to accept that!" He said, I looked at him and I saw how sorry he was. "I know," I said and gave him a weak smile and he smiled back and we went to sleep.

 I woke up in the middle of the night, I wasn't able to sleep after seeing him cry and my dark mark burning. I slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom, I locked the door, turned the water on, and took my clothes off. I got in the shower and sat down on the floor, I cuddled up into a wall and started to cry. My dark mark was burning so bad and I was overthinking everything, about my family, Draco, school, and the new life I'm going to have to face. I got up and turned the water off, I got out of the shower and I got my towel, as I was getting it, I looked at myself in the mirror and I stayed there for a couple of minutes when I heard Draco call out for me. "Athena!" "In here! I was taking a shower." I said I looked at the mirror one more time and I left the bathroom. 

When I entered the room, Draco was still sleeping. I grabbed some of my clothes and changed, I finally understood why Draco was going through so much and why he didn't want me to get the dark mark.
