The Consequence Of Power

Proving Herself

"So my dear, you want to help take down Rhiannon?" The Dark Lord asked her "Yes My Lord, I want to prove to you that I can be worthy of a task" She smiled and wondered if he would take her loyalty and allow her to become one of them. "Have you found any information?" His voice was cold and echoed the room "Yes I have. I heard with my own ears that Draco Malfoy and Rhiannon Black are what you call, a couple" She watched his eyes widened as he whispered to Bellatrix and her eyes glanced to Narcissa, her face looked guilty, like she knew something they didn't. "Lucius, Narcissa did you have any knowledge of this?" Her eyes stay on Narcissa as she watched her chest rise with each breath and she started  fiddling with her hands "No My Lord" Lucius said with no hesitation "And you Narcissa?" Narcissa looked over at Pansy before she answered "No, I did not" She quickly looked away "Sorry to interrupt My Lord but maybe you should ask again. Narcissa are you and your son very close?" Narcissa looked back over at Pansy and was drawn back by her words "Yes? And?" She anxiously laughed "So wouldn't you know if your son had feelings for the mud blood, hmm?" Narcissa stood up "How dare you speak to me like this in my own house" Her fists slam on the table, causing Pansy to flinch "Now Narcissa, calm down," Voldemort said and she walked out of the room, her heels clacking the floor and her dress flowed behind her. "I am sorry, I did not mean to cause anything" Deep down Pansy wanted to get under her skin, she knew she was lying, she wasn't so perfect, she knew about Draco and Rhiannon, guilt and lies covered her face.

Something in her stomach just felt wrong. She brushes her teeth in the lavatory and stared into the mirror, anxiety through her, she could tell why or what but something didn't feel right. She took some deep breaths and leaned on the counter, Cramping and stomach pain were all she felt, she dropped the toothbrush and grabbed her lower stomach "What is happening" She said under her breath. Then she felt warm liquid trialling down her leg, she looked down and saw a small pool of blood under her feet "Shit" The panic went away now that she knew what was causing so much pain. She shuffled over to the toilet stall and unraveled the toilet paper and begin to stuff it in her underwear and used the rest of it to wipe up the blood. As she scrubbed on her hands and knees she started to cry for no reason from how difficult this was to clean her own blood. After she flushed the bloody toilet paper and exited the lavatory and headed back to her dorm so she could go to sleep. She was not expecting this at all, this was her first period, she knew she was a little old for having her first period but she really thought it would never show up. She did still feel off and not normal but that could just be the hormones. She really needed her mom right now. "Rhiannon" She heard from behind her, she turned around and saw Pansy walking toward her, she just returned back it seemed like "Hey Pansy, out for a late walk I see?" She responded "No just out doing important business. But it looks like you are out for a late walk?" Rhiannon rolled her eyes "Yes I was just using the lavatory. May I ask where you were?"
"You may not ask. Anyway, you might want to watch your back in case that killer is around, you never know what might happen to you" She smiled and bumped into her shoulder, as her shoulder collided with Rhiannon's she saw a vision, of her sitting at the table with Voldemort and seeing her branded with the dark mark, she turned around as watched her walk away. Pansy  stopped and turned around "Sleep tight Rhiannon" She giggled and continued walking away. Why would she say such a thing, she knew she had to be up to no good since now she just saw her becoming a death eater, her becoming something like that didn't make sense. She entered her dorm and sat on my bed, the cramping still flooding her body, there were so many emotions going through her it was hard to understand anything, she may be powerful but she was scared of Pansy after what she tried to do to her awhile ago and now how petty she was with her, how she tried to act so sweet to her and care but deep down she knew she wanted her dead. She laid down and closed her eyes, falling asleep.

Draco sat down on the sofa in the common room, staring at the fireplace and twirled his ring around his finger, his eyes flinched when the fire crackled and shot sparks into the air. He didn't understand why Goyle kept telling him to watch out for Pansy she hadn't done anything to make him feel the need to worry, she had always been full of herself but he never would expect any harm from her. His head started to race and his arm started to sting, it had not done this in a long time, he thought things were calming down. He rolled up his sleeve and watched the dark mark slithering underneath his skin, the piercing pain traveled up his arm and into his head causing him to tense up and flinch from the pain. He squeezed his eyes closed and snapped his neck back onto the sofa, wincing from the sharp dagger feelings in his body "Draco, what are you doing up so late?" He heard Pansy walking around the sofa, quickly shoot back up and acted like he wasn't in the most gut-wrenching pain "Can I help you?" He asked, trying to avoid eye contact "Well, when I walked in here you seemed a little in pain" He looked at her and she had a smile on her face, taking a seat next to him "I did not say I wanted company" He rolled his eyes and looked away, rubbing his arm "I know. Does it hurt? your mark" She scooted closer to him, he moved away "I have no idea what you are talking about"
"Oh, you think I don't know? how silly of you Malfoy. I am one of them now, so I know" As those words exited her mouth he shot his head back to her "What?" She didn't say anything she just lifted her sleeve and he saw the same slithering dark mark on her arm "How? why? you being a death eater is not like you" She giggled and pulled her sleeve down "Draco lets just say I proved myself to the Dark Lord and I have more to prove, anyway I should be heading to bed now, goodnight Draco" She stood up and walked away, how could Pansy be a death eater, she was far from dangerous and what exactly did she prove to become something so evil. What if she had a job like he did, something far more serious, now he understood what Goyle meant.
