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

After we finished eaten it was time for Draco to get the horrid mark. Our plates were taken back to the kitchen by some elves and Draco avoided my eyes. I squeezed his hand that was in mine and drew a heart on it. He smiled down at our hands softly, until his name was called.

"It's time." Voldemort says. Draco draws a quick small heart on my palm before dropping it and walking over to him once more. He rolls up his sleeve and looks at the ceiling. There was a flash of light and all I could see was Draco's face in pain. He was bitting down hard on his lip and his eyes were watering but they never spilled over. I couldn't bare seeing him like this so I looks away, at anything else.

"You're now one of us, Draco." Voldemort says after the mark was completed. Draco had a blank look on his face as everyone around the table clapped for him. His eyes finally met mine and it took everything in me to stay in my chair instead of jump up and give him a hug. I could see he was in so much pain, god if there was anything I could do. 

"Now for the girl.." Lucius says lowly and Draco snaps his head in his direction.

"You said you wouldn't do anything to her." Draco says, looking between his dad and Voldemort. Voldemort puts his hand on Draco's shoulder, looking at him.

"And we won't, unless you don't do as you're told." He says with a sly look on his face. Draco moves his shoulder away from Voldemort's touch and walks over to me.

"I'll do whatever you say, just don't even think of hurting her." Draco says and I give him a smile.

"Great, it's been a long night. Why don't we continue this conversation tomorrow." Voldemort says and everyone nods. Everyone stands up and gathers their stuff but before Draco and I can leave the room his voice stops us once again.

"Oh and Draco. Pack your things, you guys go back to school soon." He says with a smirk on his face and everyone else is either laughing quietly or smiling at us. Draco grabs my hand and leads me upstairs to his room. As soon as he shuts the door I engulf him in a hug, holding him as tight as I can.

"I love you, Draco. And I'm so so proud of you." I whisper in his ear and he begins to sob in my arms. He opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out. I rub my hand through his hair and whisper sweet nothings to him. We stay like that for a while until my legs feel like they're going to give out. I slowly lead him to the bed and he immediately crawls on it. He grabs my hand and lightly tugs on it and I immediately comply and crawl onto the bed as well. He puts his head on my stomach and I continue to rub my hand through his hair. He ends up falling asleep because he's so exhausted from crying so much.

TIME SKIP

I wake up and feel along the bed for him, but I don't feel anything.

"Draco?" I call out quietly, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. 

"Draco?" I repeat, sitting up on the bed. I look around the room and see the bathroom light on but no sound is coming from inside. I slip out of bed and walk up to the door, listening. I knock softly but don't hear anything.

"Draco.." I say softly and pull on the door handle, only to find that it's locked.

"Draco open the door." I say, resting my hand on it.

"Please.." I say, waiting for a couple more minutes. I was convinced that he just wasn't going to open the door, until it did. The door slowly creeped open and inside was a puffy red eyed Draco. 

"What's wrong?" I ask, pushing the door open the rest of the way. It was then when I saw it. His sleeve rolled up, showing his mark. He had been scratching it so much it was bleeding.

"It hurts." Is all he says, quietly. I look at his eyes and all I see is a broken boy. He didn't choose this, why him?

"I know bubs, I know.." I say as I pull him into a hug.

"Here, see if this will help." I say as I slowly take his arm and pull him towards the sink. I turn on the cold water and let it run over his mark. His eyes shut, relaxed. We stay like that for a little, while I rub small circles on his back.

"Feel better?" I ask and all he does is hum in response. We end up staying like that for a while. His forearm under the water while I rub his back. Once in a while I'd use my nails and run over his mark with them, getting him to relax a little bit more.

I just wanted Draco to be okay, and now he's worst than ever. He can't even get a full nights sleep without waking up in pain. How could you put this on your 17 year old kid? Lucius literally wanted this, he wanted me to get a mark too. How could someone ever do that kind of thing? I already didn't like Lucius but now? Now I hate him.
