I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters. I just like putting my own spin on it.

"You look beautiful Y/N" Narcissa says, putting her hands on my shoulders as I look into the mirror. I take a deep breath as I finish putting my earrings in and turn to her.
"Thank you Narcissa, for all of this" I tell her motioning down to my dress. I'm thanking her for more than just the dress and staying with them. But for all the support she's given me this summer even with Lucius gone she's held herself up and made sure Draco and I have had even the smallest part of normalcy. It's been a long and difficult summer and we are due back at Hogwarts in a few days but tonight is a ceremony for myself, Draco, Malia and Blaise to receive the dark mark. It makes me feel sick even thinking about that mark on my skin but it's part of the plan to ensure they trust me completely. Draco has been struggling this summer he has been pulled into countless meetings with Voldermort and the higher members of the death eaters and each time he comes back barely talking about his experience only telling me of plans they've got for breaking more death eaters out and some attacks on muggles which is sickening. I come out of my thoughts as someone knocks at the door and my mother enters. I look away annoyed and go to grab my necklace off the side. Narcissa excuses herself.
"May I?" My mother asks motioning to my necklace and I sigh but nod passing it to her. She smiles softly and helps me put it on. She clasps it and I move away not looking in her eyes. "I've got some news"
"What now? My dead grandfather or a long lost sibling going to walk into the room" I snap. I know it's not fair and I tried to take my fathers advice but she's barely spoken to me all summer. I just kept her distance and uttered small greetings to myself. She looks down sadly. I sigh and feel guilty. "Sorry"
"I deserved that, I deserve anything you want to throw at me and I'm so sorry" She says sitting on my bed clearly feeling conflicted. "I only ever wanted to protect you Y/N...your father and I never wanted this but that's not why I'm here..."
"Then why are you here?" I ask her and she stands.
"You won't be receiving your mark like the others" She says and my eyes widen.
"And why the hell not? I passed my trials" I snap, a mixture of dread and relief flooding through me.
"Myself and Narcissa pointed out to the dark Lord that because of you being known to be his...his daughter. They would be watching you closely looking for the mark even, especially Dumbledore and the ministry. We need you to be our secret weapon, you will be there for the ceremony but not receiving the mark and that's the end of it" She says and starts to walk out of the door.
"Mum..." I say and she stops but doesn't look back at me. I take a deep breath. "Thank you" She nods and turns to smile at me briefly before beginning to walk out.
"Good evening Draco, I'll see you both in 20 minutes downstairs" She says and leaves as Draco enters the room. He's dressed in a black suit but looks so pale, bags under his eyes and he's lost a lot of weight. He closes the door.
