dark truths and deja vu

______________   year 6   _____________

Harper Riddle

My summer has been really boring. The only difference is that Mattheo is here at the mansion. It's been expected us living together it was gonna happen sooner or later. It's so upsetting that this has become our new normal.

Mattheo and I spend all our days here together. We train in the morning practicing spells that the dark lord orders us to. Then we eat, watch a movie, take a nap, garden, read, eat, and go to bed. It's the same routine every day over and over again. Some days are different when we have to do 'errands' of sorts.

Apparently there is some big meeting tonight dear old Dad has planned with all Death Eaters. I think that's where he wants to announce me as his daughter. How fun is that gonna be. Yeah should be pretty nice.

Looking at the time I decided to get dressed as it's important to look the part for this introduction. If I was the Dark Lord's daughter I better look like it too.

I settled on a black leather mini skirt with a long sleeve black top. I wore tights under my skirt paired with high boots. I fixed my hair up into a slick back ponytail. I lowkey ate... that's besides the point, but you know.

I walked into Mattheo's room after I was done getting ready.

"You look better than I do. Damn," He complimented me. Mattheo was wearing a black button down with the sleeves rolled up and black slacks.

"Thank you kind sir. You look nice too. Us twins clean up nice don't we?" I answered back.

"Hell yeah we do. Gotta dress to impress," Mattheo said laughing.

"How did I not think we were related before?" I asked laughing at Mattheo's comment.

"Yeah kinda messed up on that part," He replied to me.

"If we don't laugh we cry right?" I said chucking with an undertone of worry.

"Yeah," Mattheo replied to me more seriously.

"You should head down. The meeting should be starting soon," I stated telling my brother.

"Alright, I'll see you down there. Don't trip," He replied back. I was supposed to wait to be announced because of course the drama king of a father wanted me to have this big announcement.

After about 20 minutes of me waiting at the top of the stairs sitting down on the floor, It was time. It felt exactly like a couple years ago when Dumbeldore was announcing me as Harper Potter to the school. Talk about Deja Vu.

"Please rise as I have a very important announcement to make. I'm sure most of you don't know that I have a very influential and important family member. She has been kept a secret working for me. She is the future of our society. She is the key to everything. Her name is Harper Audrey Riddle," The dark lord spoke. Gosh, talk about an introduction. I heard multiple gasps coming from the table.

I slowly began to walk down the stairs into the meeting. My heels clacked on the marble stairs giving an effect to my bad bitch energy. When I reached the bottom I saw my seat was next to Voldemort. I made my way over there, but what I saw was jaw DROPPING.

There low and behold was Draco Lucius Fucking Malfoy. Mouth agape as if he just saw a ghost. This really is a deja vu moment. Times repeating, but different situations.

I passed him not breaking eye contact and then continued to my seat.

"Harper, pull up your sleeve and make a few words," The Dark Lord instructed me. I did as he said and revealed my dark mark. I felt Draco's eyes piercing into me along with the rest of the table.

"I'm honored to be here in this seat. It's been truly a blessing to be a part of such a wonderful goal. I hope to learn to work with all of you and the same with me. I know I might be young, but disrespect me and there will be consequences. As my father said, I am the future of our society," I stated not stuttering a word. I ate, served, and devoured the script that the dark lord gave me.

"Thank you daughter. You may all sit," He spoke to the table. Mattheo's seat was all the way at the end. I felt bad as the fact that Mattheo was completely ignored, but again Voldemort is not even real like the guy looks like he is role playing a turtle x rat cosplay.

He spoke about random shit like taking over the world and killing Harry Potter. What's new we all know you're in love with the kid.

"That concludes the informative discussion and now, Draco and Mattheo please come," Voldemort spoke. Both boys got up and walked over behind me.

He grabbed Draco's forearm and cast, "Morsmordre."

Draco winced in pain and shed only one tear. We hadn't talked since that night he told me Sirius died. I never figured out which Death Eater did it. When I do, they'll get what they deserve. It's called a karma x revenge collab.

Then he grabbed Mattheo's arm and cast, "Morsmordre."

Mattheo didn't even flinch. Maybe me talking him through it helped. He was shaking though.

"We happily welcome Draco and my son, Mattheo into the Death Eaters!," The dark lord exclaimed with joy.

The death eaters clapped with actual happiness for these two. I just looked at them with sadness and clapped as well. Draco wouldn't even make eye contact with me.

"That is not it though. I have very very good news. It is with accordance of my dear friends, The Malfoy's. Harper and Draco are to be wed in March!," He exclaimed.

I'm sorry what the fuck. Nonono because what the actual fuck. Please tell me I'm dreaming right now because this is not funny. I looked over at Draco who had the same expression as me. I was only about to turn 17 in a few weeks. If Draco wasn't looking at me before, he definitely was now.

I'm sure Voldemort saw our expressions because he grabbed my wrist so tight my circulation was cut off. He whispered instructions in my ear. Draco watched as he did so.

I walked over to Draco and gave him a small hug, embracing him. I then leaned in and gave him a small peck. I pulled back and stood there next to him. He kept his hand in the small of my back in between my waist. That was the only thing keeping me up because I fully wanted to collapse. Talk about some dark truths and deja vu.
