All Because of a Bet (Draco x Y/n)

Grief Can Make People Do Crazy Things

Life without Sirius had proven to be difficult. I simply could not function.

I felt as though I had no one either. Everyone was looking after Harry.

I understand he had a more traumatic night than me when Sirius died, with having a run in with Voldemort only moments after losing Sirius, but it would be nice for someone to at least check in on me.

I have been going through the loss of Sirius all on my own. He was one of my best friends and was the only person to care for me over Harry. Now he is gone, and for good.

As of now, we were at the Weasleys. They were taking us in for the summer. Of course, I was thankful. However, not so much at the same time since it seems as though everyone forgot I existed... even the twins.

They, alongside everyone else, will check on me every so often. Though Harry, he receives all the attention, and I am sick and tired of it.

One day, in the midst of summer, I climbed out of bed and made my way downstairs. This was a venture I rarely took most days.

Everyone was sitting at the kitchen table. It felt as though I went unnoticed as I walked in.

Obviously, Harry was doing a lot better. He was eating and laughing. Two things I have really lacked in the past few weeks.

But that was enough for me and I turned to the person I needed most.

He looked different. His hair was shorter and styled. It looked good though. He was paler than usual, and quite thin looking.

I think we both needed each other just as much as the other person during this time.

But despite his shock as he looked at me, standing on his doorstep, he pulled me in for a big hug.

"Y/n," he breathed as we held each other close.

"I need you," I whispered.

He pulled out of the hug. Tears were in his eyes.

I know, or so I thought he has been hurting because his dad was sentenced to Azkaban after the ministry incident, for wearing Death Eater attire.

Never would I have thought he was upset for a reason I would never have expected.

My heart broke for him as he cried in my arms while clutching his left arm that carried the Dark Mark.

I never would have even thought our lives would come to this, but I was angry and revengeful at my friends and brother. No one cares about me, so why should I care about them?

So, when I was caught at Malfoy Manor and given the choice to basically die or to take the mark, I chose to stay by Draco's side.

The consequences of my actions were the least of my worries at that time. All I know is that I love Draco and will stick with him... no matter what.

It was as though something had taken over me, and it led me to being one of Voldemort's strongest followers.

No one would have ever expected me, Y/n Potter, the twin sister of Harry Potter, to be one of Voldemort's most trusted Death Eaters.

Yet, here we are.
