She left~11

We all walked out of the chimney at Malfoy Manor. Snape was told of a specific time to get her to make a 'big entrance' for the new members. 

As soon as we got in I heard my father's voice.

"And my daughter, Stephanie Riddle" all eyes turned to me. I looked around a bunch of death eaters. Pansy, Blaise, Theo, and Daphne all looked at me. I turned to look at my father who had a huge grin on his face. 

I've gone through this feeling before, the first time with Daphne and Blaise. Blaise and I talked, but Daphne hasn't talked to me, not that I have either.

I walked over to my father who sat at the far end of the table. He got up as I watched Draco go over to sit next to his parents. 

I walked over to him as he gave me a hug. I heard one or two gasps, very quiet. I sat in the seat next to him on the table and looked at the boy across from me. He was eying me. I knew he felt at least a little guilty in lying to his friends too. He knew who I was, and kept everything from them for a while now. And now they're all finding out the truth.

"As we most know, Draco and Blaise are members already..." my father started. I looked up to see Pansy and Theo looking at Blaise surprised. They probably thought Draco was already with him coming in here with me.

"And my dear Stephanie is our stronger member" Their eyes now on me again. My father turned to me as well as I looked down t my hands on the table.

"Now, I was planning on making one or two more of you part of us..."

"However, I have not decided yet" my father glared at me as he talked in my mind.

"I need you to chose two of which would make a good addition"

"I don't know" "They're all weak"

He raised his eyebrows

"Is it that, or that you don't want your poor friends-"

"They are not my friends. Fine, I'll figure it out" he smiled at my statement.

"Good, I need them today" I looked at him before nodding.

We both looked back at the amused faces staring at our encounter, although they couldn't hear it.

"We will say who will get the mark today" 

I heard him keep talking to mostly the adults as the kids sat there quietly. I thought of the talk I was gonna have to have with my dad later today. I have to chose who gets to live with the pain of having that mark for the rest of their lives, technically living under my father's control. Them I had to get something out of him of my mother. Hard. This was going to be a difficult day.

A voice got me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see everyone looking at me, again.

"I'm sorry, what" 

"Who do you want to go to Hogwarts once the banishing cabinet is fixed," my father said. I looked over at Draco to see him tensed up. I didn't need to go into his mind to know he was worried about not fixing the cabinet. I looked around the room.

"Yaxley, Greyback, Carrows, Rowle, Gibbon, and Bella," I said. I heard Bellatrix make an exciting noise as I smiled. I would obviously want her there to see Dumbledore dead. I felt stares at me once again. I went in their heads. All of them.

"How does she have so much power?"

"Why does he ask her?"

"She lied to us"

I could hear Pansy's voice as well as Daphne's. I suddenly heard a deeper one, one I knew all too well.

"We're not gonna be able to fix it on time, or ever"
