"You have a debt to pay back. The sins of the father are payed for by the daughter". The Dark Lord exclaimed, walking towards the annoyed and frightened teen. "Your father sold you to me to pay his debt. Now you can either pay with your life or you...
Any sound in the room completely vanished and you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stopped in the tracks, amazed at what just came out oof this guys mouth and wondering what he'll say next.
"I'll give you my daughter, you're free to do whatever you want with her, please just let me live."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing and felt like vomiting. Before I could speak up, the dark lord interjected, " And how is your daughter a worthy trade for the debt you owe, both physically and financially?"
"She can be a maid or whatever else you need her for."
"Excuse me? I'm not doing any of that shit. I'm leaving screw this. Figure out your own problems dad." I said walking away.
"Wait.... Ahh that's hot" my father being the dumbass he is forgot how powerful I was. I heated up my body high enough to burn too his touch causing his hand to turn red from the initial burn.
I kept walking away trying to get to the front door as fast as possible. On my way there I ran into a blonde boy and a dark haired boy, obviously the blonde one was Draco Malfoy and the brown haired boy is a Riddle. Both of them looked like they wanted to stop me but also wanted to see what would happen. Before reaching the door I was blocked by a group of people in skull masks, with a wave of my hand they were all flying in different directions.
"STOPPPP!!" The Dark Lord yelled pausing me in my tracks, I turned around to see the dark lord whip out his wand. Ready to meet my maker at this point i closed my eyes and prepared myself for the spell. "Avadakedavra!!!"
I opened my eyes to find my fathers limp body on the floor in front of me. "You have a debt to pay, the sins of the father are payed for by the daughter. And now you have two choices, die or marry one of our sons. You'll live here from now on unless you're at school at Hogwarts."
My fathers death, although upsetting, was not a surprise and to be honest I was okay with the fact that he was gone. I wasn't okay with the fact that I was basically traded like a piece of meat. Without giving me a chance to react the housekeeper brought me upstairs and got me ready for dinner, starting with a shower.
Voldemort's POV "My lord are you sure about this? How do you know she will take part in this?" Lucious Malfoy questioned.
"Delphi, come here my seer," I called my seer over, she sat down on the floor in the middle of all of us and blue smoke started moving around her.
Ask your questions Delphi said in everyone's minds.
"Tell me what use is Courtney Burke to me?"
With all her powers big and small, the biggest thing she can give you is the smallest of things. If she marries a Malfoy or a Riddle, the resulting power will be more than anything you've ever seen. She can help you win the battles you need to win for the next few phases and she can give you back your original form.
The resulting power? Does that mean that she will have one of their child's, and that that child will be powerful, and that it doesn't matter which the father is?
Courtney's POV
After my shower I stepped out of the bathroom to find I was alone, minus the new outfit on my bed, that I'm assuming I'm supposed to wear to dinner. This is my outfit for dinner-

It was simple so that's what I liked about it, I got dressed and made my way down to the dining room. Draco, Mattheo and their parents were all sitting at a table that was far too big for just the the five of them. I didn't even want to sit down with these people. I was still so disgusted that I was offered up like a piece of meat and then to have my father die right in front of me, its a lot. Although I didn't always have the best relationship with him, I didn't want my father to die. As i enter the dining room all eyes are on me making me uncomfortable with all the unwanted attention. I grabbed a chair at the other end of the table far from the rest of them. I sat there, fighting back and tears and avoiding eye contact with any of them, while the house elves set up dinner.
"Courtney, at this point with your father gone now, you will have to pay his debt." The dark lord started, "Marriage is a portion of it, and I would obviously eventually want an heir from you, and for you to sign over all of your father's properties to me. You have no objections right?"
"How could I, when the only other option is death?" I retorted, looking up fast enough to see everyone still watching me.
With everyone's eyes on me I found eating even harder than before, and continuously felt like I had something stuck in my throat. I took that as my sign to go and excused myself, under the guise of needing to get ready for hogwarts when in actuality I just wanted alone time to breathe. Especially since I never even truly met Draco or Mattheo and now I'm supposed to apparently marry them? Or one of them.
Draco's POV
"Excuse me, you didn't think to ask us before deciding our future bride like that?" I complained once Courtney made her way upstairs. Usually I'm not one to question my Parents or the Dark Lord, I didn't like my future being decided for me like that.
My mother and father ignored my outburst, and continued talking amongst themselves with the Dark Lord. Talking about how Mattheo and I are the new hope for the future. Mattheo on the other hand was oddly quiet and didn't interject other than the common no every so often. I knew it wasn't going to happen anytime soon but my future being decided like that pissed me off more than anything.
"Well since our opinions don't matter, we are going to go pack for school since we leave tomorrow. Not that anyone cares but I'm hoping to get the highest grades next to that mud blood Granger." Again no reaction. We made our way to our rooms and started to get ready for tomorrow, when undoubted our lives will change now due to this new addition.
