Meant to be (Draco x reader)

Chapter 57: The Mark

I don't know if anybody still reads this book but if you do please read the A/N at the bottom : )

"What did your mother-" Lucious starts but stops when he hears the doorbell. Draco automatically freezes up so I can only assume, that it's him.

Holy fuck.

Draco led me quickly to the kitchen where it was just me and him.

"Don't freak out and don't look him in the eye for too long." He explains and I nod.

"Draco I got this, I'll be okay." I reassure him but on the inside I'm freaking out.

"Just, please try to control your fast remarks. You know I love them but he won't" Draco says and I smile softly.

"I won't act like a bitch towards him." I say and he nods, still looking terrified.

"And make sure you call him by his name." He says and I nod.

"You're going to be okay. I'll be right there with you the entire time, okay?" I say

"Promise?" He questions, his hands shaking.

"I promise, I'm not leaving you, not matter what." I say, grabbing his shaky hands and he lets out a sigh of relief.

"Okay." He says, kissing my forehead. We walk towards the exit of the kitchen and gives my hand a squeeze.

We make our way to the dinning table, where there's food for about a billion people. I look around the table, seeing Lucious and Cissy and a bunch of other people I have no idea who they are. And at the end of the table I see him. He looks just like I thought he would, bald with no nose. Draco leads me to our seats and pulls out my seat for me. I thank him quietly and let him push in my chair for me. After a couple minutes everybody is talking amongst themself, Draco and I sat there, poking at our food quietly. After about an hour of doing that, Voldemort gets everyones attention. 

"As many of you know, we are gathered here today to celebrate!" He says, his voice sounds so weird and like trapped.

"We're here today to celebrate, Draco Malfoy" He says, pointing towards Draco. Draco tenses up so I put my hand on his thigh rubbing small circles with the pad of my thumb.

"Today, Draco is going to be getting the death mark." Voldemort says cocky. I examine everyone faces from around the table. Cissy looks terrified and sad. Lucious looks proud somewhat but also neutral. Most of the random people look happy while there are two that looks sad about it. Voldemort is about to continue when a scream interrupts them.

"I thought I told you to keep her silent?" He says towards some of the people who are sitting.

"Bring her" He says and with a flick of his wand, someone comes floating in above the table.

When the stranger finally comes into full view I hold in a gasp and Draco's leg that was previously going up and down stops. It was our teacher. Her hair had been messed up and she had been gagged. There was tears slowly streaming from her eyes and it looked like she had been crying for a while. 

Draco takes my hand in his and squeezes it softly, reassuring me that everything is going to be okay somehow. I intertwine my fingers with his and he rubs small circles on the back of my hand, keeping his eyes locked on our teacher. 

It took everything in my to not look away from her and burst out in my own tears. I was doing a good job of holding them in until she turned and looked at Draco and I. Her face freezes slightly and then it turns into a small relief.

"Silence!" Voldemort screams and she whimpers in fear. Begging us with her eyes to help her, and god I really wish I could.

I don't really remember what happened next. I just remember her falling to the table and Draco jumping, looking away. I think my brain started blocking out everything that happened because I don't remember any conversation or words that were said after that. That is until..

"Draco Lucius Malfoy." Is what breaks my train of thoughts. I look up and see Voldemort smiling at us. Draco slowly stands up and walks to the head of the table, next to Voldemort. Voldemort looks at Draco and slowly turns his head to look at me.

"And Angel Ryder Smith" I snap my eyes to his and Draco looks at me with fear. Looking into Voldemort eyes, I wasn't scared. In fact I felt the opposite, I was angry and wanted to scream at him but I knew it would end poorly so I kept my mouth shut and stared at him.

"Come here," He says slowly and I stand, pushing my chair back as I do so.

"No," His voice surprises me and my eyes snap to his. My eyes widen as I look at Draco and everyone at the table lets out small gasps.

"No?" Voldemort questions, looking at Draco.

"No, she's not apart of this." Draco says and Lucius stands up.

"Draco," He warns with his voice. Draco turns to look at his father, his eyes filling with tears but they don't spill over.

"No. I get the mark, not her." Draco says again, not changing his answer. Lucius opens his mouth to answer but someone beats him to it.

"Now now, Lucius. Draco is right." He says and Lucius looks surprised at Voldemort. So does Draco and I'm sure my face displaces it as well.

"In fact, if he's willing to stand up now for her. Maybe she will be useful without the mark." He says with a smirk and Draco's face goes pale. He looks at his mom, for help or support I'm not sure but all he gets is a sympathetic look from her as she tries but fails to hold back her tears.

"We can talk about that later, for now. Let's get this celebration started." Voldemort says with a crooked smirk.

GUYS

I'm so sorry I just like died on you. 

I had surgery on my shoulder and it was a pretty bad time for me when I found out. I had no motivation to do anything. But I'm slowly getting back into it.

I can't promise faster updates or anything but I can promise that I will try harder.

I love you all!
