Dramione-A forbidden Love

Chapter 30

Draco's POV

Since I wrote Hermione the letter some time went on. The holidays were nearly over. Terrible things happened in the world and of course it was Voldemort. Now everyone knew this since Fudge didn't deny anymore that he wasn't back. Besides that fudge retired.
I just laid in my bed and did some of my homework I didn't do like usually, when I heart a knock on my window. I looked up and saw an owl. I frowned my forehead. Wasn't that Potter's owl, what was the name, Hedwig? I jumped of my bed and let her in. There were two letters on her leg. I gave Hedwig some water and started to read the first letter.

Dear Draco,
I'm so sorry that I answer that late, but I had to think about your letter. I love you. There's no question. I love you and maybe forever, at least for the next time. But I have to see the other side of being together, the side of me in danger. You know, Draco, i forgive you. Everything, everything you said and did. But you know I can't forget it. But I'm afraid. I'm so afraid of the future. Voldemort's not even trying to hide himself and his actions. I will be the first victim I can be sure of.
Draco. I will try another chance if you want that too. I love you, and if you love someone you'll flight for him. So... will we see each other next year? As girlfriend and boyfriend?
And to be honest. As the best friend of Harry potter I am in danger anyway.
But I want to be together with you, no matter what. No matter what happens.
Love,
Hermione

I had to read the letter a few times until I understood it. Hermione. .. wanted to try it again? Suddenly my whole world seemed brighter and better. I smiled a few minutes like an idiot until I remembered that there were two letters. Curiously I opened the second letter. I had an idea who wrote that letter.

Malfoy,
I know she wrote you a letter. I saw her, but she doesn't know I wrote to you. I have to say something. You already know it. Don't hurt her. Again. Ginny found her after she read your last letter. She cried she wasn't concious for minutes. So I warn you. I duell you again and this time you'll show up i swear.
Potter

So i was right. I thought it was Kind of nice that he remebered me of that over and over again. It was annoying but I knew that Hermione wasn't alone. That was calming. Because even if we were together again, i didn't know the future.

"Draco, would you please come downstairs?" My father shouted a few hours later. The time after I received the letter I spent smiling. I felt like a total idiot but maybe you act like that if the love of your life forgave you.
I went to my father. He waited with my mother. "What's up?" I asked. "Draco, you may know what's up. We talked about that." "You mean me becoming a death eater." I answered. "You know we do not prefer that name. But yeah. And to get this to a result now we will go to borgin and burkes now." My heart made a jump and landed on the floor between my feet. "What? Now?" My father frowned his forehead. "Why not now?" He asked. "There's no time to discuss this. You'll come with us now. At borgin and burkes you'll know your task aswell." With a bad feeling in my stomach I took some floo powder. The task. The whole summer I didn't think about it. Or at least tried.
When we arrived in diagon alley I went with my mother to the store. When I once looked back I thought I saw Hermione. Damn it so she found me. And potter and weasley, too I guessed. I tried to forget it. Image to focus and l knew what would happen.
A few minutes later we arrived. The moment we entered and The other death eaters arrived too the strict expression of my father disappeared. They still hated him for what happened last summer. And that was the reason why I was so nevous.
"Today we are here because Draco lucius Malfoy will join our organisation. He will stand behind our ideas and actions. Draco, will you do that?" I stood now in front of fenrir greyback. He was leading this whole thing. Now everyone was looking at me. "Yes, i will." I answered as though everything in me screamed No. But what could I do? When I didn't do what my father wants, there would be no way to protect Hermione. Greyback tooky arm. I knew what will come now. I closed my eyes to protect me from the pain. And then there it came. It started above my arm and then went up my whole arm. And first it was warm and became then hotter and hotter, till it really burned. After a few minutes it slowly became better. When I opened my eyes again I looked down my arm and saw the mark. So it was official now. I was a death eater. What I never wanted. I looked outside the window and i could see potter's head, which disappeared fastly behind the roof. Great now they know.
"Draco you know you will have a task to do for the dark Lord."I nodded.
When they explained my task I felt how my heart froze. It took everything I had not to show any expression like running outside the room. Yep, I'll be dead after this year.
