You both spent the whole day out in the woods, mostly lying and staring up at the sky and watching the branches creaking in the wind. You both didn't talk much the whole entire time, even when you got up to leave. Draco followed you silently into hogwarts and to the table for dinner. You both sat in your usual spots, forgetting about the earlier events at lunch, you waited for the rest of the group to show. Draco sat across from you and stared into your (Y/E/C) eyes, making you squirm a little. When the group finally filled in next to you both you felt Draco's eyes lift from you and settle onto someone else. Axel, you thought to yourself. You looked up at Draco, making eye contact with him and he raised his eyebrow. Noticing the features on your face Draco shook his head at you, making you smirk. Your mind was set, you were going to say something to the group. "I would like to know whose friends you guys are." You said loudly, breaking the silence of the group. Pansy squeaked at the sound of your voice, shifting uncomfortably away from Draco. You raised an eyebrow at her. "So not towards Draco I presume?" You asked, more towards her. She slumped down, trying to escape from your gaze. Crabbe and Goyle grunted, they were sitting on either side of you. "You both have been friends with him for how many years? And just like that it's gone? Pathetic. You all don't deserve to serve the Dark Lord. Cowards." You finished in disgust. When the food appeared no one reached to eat, not even Axel. Everyone bowed their heads in thought, making you even more mad. "Traitors, disgusting traitors." You paused when everyone looked up, you stared daggers at Axel. "I did get trained by Bellatrix, who I presume you all heard of correct?" Everyone nodded, you didn't remove your eyes from the new kid. "So I assume you all know what she's capable of? Capable of breaking someone, removing all that they've built in the last thirteen years and rip it to shreds creating something different, something awful?" You asked the group, still making Axel shrink in his seat. Everyone nodded again, "As I've assumed all of this, I can also gather enough to think that you all do not want me to act like her? Act like what I've been trained to? Cause if I have to, it will not be pretty, especially with the events that happened at lunch. Am I correct?" You paused, looking away from Axel. "You don't want me to treat you like Bellatrix would treat any traitor to the Dark Lord. There is one thing to not ask for permission to kiss someone else's love, I can deal with that." You said, glancing to Pansy's terrified look on her face with the mentioning of past events. "But what I can't deal with is introducing someone new to the group, the group that has a lot going for them in a few years, and letting them treat the leader with such disrespect." You said, shaking your head in disgust. After a few moments of silence, you laughed, which made everyone shift uncomfortably. Everyone except Draco. You brought your voice down to a hoarse whisper, watching everyone's face before you spoke, "Now, if this happens ever again. You'll be wishing for Bellatrix to kill you. Crucio is an awful spell to use on your close friends, trust me. I've been broke and fixed with that curse. So if I don't see some respect, I know where you all sleep. My remorse has been stripped of me." You concluded, grabbing some food smiling at the rest of the group. You had instilled fear into their eyes, which was exactly what you wanted to do. Felt powerful, but it was controlled, not reckless like Bellatrix. That was a good sign. 
No one spoke while you all were eating, your eating habits retreated back. All thanks to Axel. You were still mad at him being so comfortable in the group, pushing not only you away but Draco as well. "So, Axel is it? Draco and I didn't get to learn much about you considering you turned our group against us." You said nonchalantly, eyeing the group as they ate cautiously. They were afraid of you, which now that you think about it was a totally bad idea. You needed real trust, not fake trust. Axel put down his fork, moving his hands into his lap before speaking, "Yes ma'am, I'm so sorry about that, by the way. I didn't mean to impose." "But you did," you interrupted. Axel nodded his head, "Did you think that the old prophecy would just come back to life?" You asked, he nodded. You sighed, making Crabbe and Goyle shift away, perhaps retreating from your outrage. You noticed, like always. "Alright, here's the deal. " You said dropping your fork onto the plate making everyone jump and look at you. "A good pack is built on trust, not fear. So we will start brand new, refresh today and start over, okay everyone? I want you all to trust me and Draco, we want to trust you all not to leave us for someone new. It isn't about our future, I was just mad because Pansy introduce someone new into our territory that we've had since day one." What you said made everyone sigh in relief. "So now with that, Axel. You are allowed in the group, but as of right now you are under everyone else. You have to earn equal treatment since you are new. Got it?" He nodded his head, smiling widely, you smiled at everyone who had excitement in their eyes. Your eyes finally landed on Draco who was smiling at you, and nodded his head. 
When dinner was done you all went to the common room to settle down, but then you all opted to stay in your room. Since you had a fairly sized room with no room mate, and you can have guys in there since most of your group is male. You and Pansy were sitting on the bed while watching the others on the floor horseplaying or playing cards. Everyone was smiling and laughing, even you. "So, we are friends now?" You heard Pansy whisper while the boys were becoming louder. You glanced over at her and she was smiling from ear to ear. "I guess we are." You said, she hugged you, almost knocking you off the bed. You both we laughing hard, making Draco flickered his eyes up to you smiling at what was happening between you both.
It was a few hours until you all sat in a circle on your floor, everyone was staring at you. "So, this starts our new journey." You said, scanning everyone's emotions. Draco sneaked his hand on your knee, while everyone smiled at you. "From now on, you come to either me or Draco for information and orders." You paused before looking at Crabbe, "Not silly orders, mostly about ones if you should wear underwear that day or not. Draco told me all about that one." You said winking at Crabbe who blushed, The rest of the group giggled, "Draco and I will also consult the group for what we should do next in any situation. We rely on you as much as you rely on us.  So don't think it's just you following orders like blind soldiers." You said, assuring everyone in the room. You smiled at them all,  "I won't lead you guys astray. If you want reason,  I'll give you reason, but trust me we will be just as blind as you all. We will be trained to follow orders without hesitation. But I'll warn you, it's hard. You will be stripped of everything you've ever known. Just don't let them formulate their thoughts." You finished, looking down at your shaking hands. It was a few minutes before you could continue. "When you first become one of them, you will have other thoughts that are not yours. Dark thoughts, you stomach will shrink down to nothing and you won't be able to sleep because Bellatrix's laugh and the way she said crucio replays over and over again in your mind." You stopped, on the verge of wanting to end it all.  "You will not be yourself," You finally whispered to the group, your hands shaking and your eyes brimmed with tears. Draco squeezed your knee, "It will cost a lot, but we were picked specifically. From the very beginning we were told we could do it." Draco said, giving a small small to the group. You all still sat in silence when it was all done. Every once in awhile they would hear your sniffling or coughing. "What got you through the training?" Axel asked after what seemed like hours of silence. You looked up at the group, your eyes now dry and dark.  "Nothing."
