15- The dark secret

Willow's POV

It's Halloween holidays but I've decided to stay at Hogwarts since my father is still very angry. He thinks I've failed at everything and that I'm not good enough. I've decided I'm going to change this. That's why I'm stood outside Malfoy Manor. The Malfoy's are the only death eaters I know so I'm going to speak to them.

I knock on the door. "Who is it!" A voice comes from the other side of the door. "Willow Lovegood." I say nervously. The door cracks open and I see a women with black and white hair peering at me. She looks confused. "Xenophilius' daughter?" She says opening the door more. "What are you doing here" she speaks again. "I want to join the death eaters. I know you, your husband and Draco are all death eaters." I say. Narcissa's mouth drops open. "How'd you know about Draco!" She says angrily. "I heard him and Professor Snape talking". "I won't tell anyone what I heard as long as you let me speak to the Dark Lord." I add. "Lucius!" She shouts. "Darling?" He says as he rounds the corner. "Xenophilius Lovegood's daughter is here. Willow." Lucius quickly opens the door all the way and stares at me. The two Malfoy's look at each other concerned. "She wants to be a death eater" Narcissa says keeping her voice down. Lucius peers around to look for other people. "Come in." He says quickly. "Follow me." I follow the Malfoys through the kitchen into a large dark room. It was a library. Book shelves towered over me. "Sit." He points to a large black arm chair.

"Why?" Lucius spits facing away from me looking at the book shelves. "I have my reasons." I say sharply. "How do I know you will stay loyal to the Dark Lord?" "Why wouldn't I stay loyal?" I question. "I don't understand." He says turning to look at me. "Why do you want to be a death eater." "Because I do!" I say getting angry. "Alright, lucky for you the Dark Lord has been staying here. I will go get him." Lucius says leaving the room. Narcissa sits opposite me. "Your a curious young women." She says staring at me as if she's trying to read me. I say nothing. "I think you'd be a great death eater." "Thank you."

"The Dark Lord wants to see us three at the meeting room" Lucius says. "After you" Narcissa points towards the door. I follow Lucius up the stairs. We walk down a long corridor. Just before we pass the 5th door it opens. Draco Malfoy walks out. "Mother? Father?" He says confused. "Go back in your room" Narcissa says. Draco looks at me. I freeze. "Willow..." I hear a croaky voice say. It was the Dark Lord. He was stood in a door way at the very end of the corridor. I quickly walk towards him. "Dark Lord" I say nervously. "Come in" he says the Malfoy's follow behind me. "All off you sit" I sit opposite The Malfoy's and the Dark Lord sits at the top of the table. "Asking to be a death eater is very rare." The dark Lord says. "Very brave of you" He says. "Bravery is a good thing to have in a death eater, but I still question how you would help us." "I'm very close with the Weasley twins, im sure you know how close they are with Harry Potter." I say. "Good. However how do I know you will stay loyal?" He questions me. "I will swear to it." I see the Malfoy's heads snap to look at me. "You understand what that means, right?" Narcissa asks. "Yes, Mrs Malfoy" "Very well then, Take out you wand Lucius." The Dark Lord says.

I'm stood opposite the Dark Lord. He raises his arm in front of me. I grab his arm. His skin is cold. "Are you both ready" Lucius asks. We both nod. A silver light comes out of Lucius wand and winds it's way around our hands.

"Will you, Willow Pandora Lovegood, stay loyal to the Dark Lord." -Lucius
"I will." -Willow
"And will you to the best of your abilities find information about Harry Potter."-Lucius
"I will"-Willow
"Will you obey all the Dark Lord's commands?" - Lucius
"I will"

The light disappears and my arm drops to my side. "Now it's time for the dark mark" The Dark Lord says. He grabs my wrist and points his wand at it. He whispers something under his breath and a dark light comes out of his wand. My wrist burns. He mumbles more things. The burning gets worse. There's a blast of dark light and he lets go of my wrist. I look down and see the dark mark now imprinted on my skin. I smile. "Thank you my Lord" I say. "You may leave now." The Dark Lord says. I nod and exit the room. "Lovegood! What the hell are you doing here?" Draco shouts as I leave the room. I don't say anything. He just stares at me. I hide my hand behind my back. "No you didn't"He says. He grabs my wrist. "Ow!" I shout. "Why did you do this!" He shouts but trying the to keep his voice down. "Why do you care?" I snarl. He drops my arm. "Go." He says. I leave.
