Misplaced (slow updates)

-5-

My father, my mother, and Draco, those were the only people on the planet who knew my identity.

He stepped back, I scrunched up my face, confused by his actions, he didn't believe me right away did he? That was easy.

"You believe me?" I stared at him, my head tilted down but maintaining eye contact.

He shrugged, "I don't know what to believe, you are still going to answer more of my questions" that wasn't a question, that was a statement.

Who does he think he is telling me what to do? especially after I told him I was the dark lords daughter.

"First off, don't tell me what to do" I lifted my hand, pointing up one finger, rising another as I listed more, "second, I will tell you what you need to know, nothing more, nothing less. Got it?"

He turned around, walking out of the bathroom, I followed behind him. "Tell me why you're in Gryffindor if you were literally born to be in Slytherin?"

"Draco, I've been undercover as Mia Monroe this entire time," I confess to him, shaking his head, trying to make sense of the whole ordeal. "When I was 11, I was sent to Hogwarts to get close to Harry, which meant no one could know who I was, what I was doing, or even know what my real name was." I try explaining, Draco continuing to shake his head, "I was a kid, but I had the most important role of any of the death-eaters," this caught his attention.

He came rushing back over to me, "if you are a Death eater?" he took my left arm, pulling up the sleeve, "where is your dark mark?" he accused, I roll my eyes.

"Think, Draco! Is it really that hard to connect the dots" I remove his hands off of my arm, "I am Harry Potter's girlfriend!" I laugh, "if I had the dark mark, how long do you think it would take for him to figure out my agenda? How quickly do you think my assignment would've ended?" I convince.

This idiot, Dark mark? I hope he is kidding. I have dedicated half my life to this act as Harry's friend, partner in crime, and girlfriend bullshit! I have had to pretend to not know the outcome of every attack or plan my father has come up with, just to be able to keep my place in their friend group. That assignment was all I knew, and I no longer knew who I was because of it.

"There is no proof!" he displayed. "You are Harry Potter's girlfriend. You have been in Gryffindor this entire time. You have been helping the dark lords enemy!" I shook my head as he accused me of these things, How was I going to convince him.

I stood still as he continued telling me the things I have done to protect my identity.

"Remember earlier tonight? When I told you no one knew me?" I questioned Draco. He nodded, "this is what I meant by it, Draco. Literally, you, my mother and the dark lord, know my blood relation. No one else. Voldemort, came to me earlier tonight, telling me to abandon my role as Harry's friend and assume one helping you." I scoffed, "if this task is so important to risk my position with Harry, to risk breaking the trust and relationships I have built with all of those blood-traitors, mud-bloods, and show-offs, to risk my position as Harry's stupid girlfriend, and if it is that important to risk wasting five years of my life, I don't care if you believe me." I step closer to the stunned boy, having to lift my head to keep my eyes attached to his, staring through his exterior, glaring at him with the intent to shoot lasers from my eyes. "Because I have never let down the dark lord, and I don't plan to now," I breathe harshly, storming back to the bathroom, the shower still running, slamming and locking the door.

My patience was running thin, I know I said it didn't matter how long it would take to convince him, and I know I said fighting wasn't on the to-do list, but Merlin, he is infuriating. I understand why he doesn't believe me but does he really have to be so pig-headed and stubborn about it.
