Hidden *Harry potter fafic*

chapter 18

Previously

I looked at the arm being held out towards me and I before I could change my mind I grasped the arm. The next thing I knew was a tugging sensation in the pit of my stomach.

Chapter 18.

I landed with a loud thud and almost fell over of it was not for the arms holding me against a muscled chest. I breathed harshly through my nose and leaned my forehead against his chest as a wave of nausea hit me. I definitely did not like apparating ,if this was the outcome I never wished to do it again.

Marvolo stood still thankfully waiting until I had gotten myself under control. I removed myself from his arms which lingered on me and smiled up at him.

" I'm okay, don't worry, but I do not want to ever and I mean ever do that again. " I said running a hand through my hair.

Marvolo laughed and put a hand on the small of my back before leading me forward through halls I was very familiar with.

" Do not worry, it is not always that bad and it's better if you are the one apparateing instead of side-apparation. " he spoke, voice filled with mirth.

I shook my head and looked around, nothing had changed at all. The walk was quite and their was no need for words, it was a comfortable silence, even with the tension hanging in the air.

I forced myself and my beating heart to calm down as we neared a pair of grand wooden doors.

" You ready. " the voice of Marvolo was strangely soothing and I nodded not trusting myself to speak.

" Do not worry. " he said his lips brushing my ear and body pressed against mine, he was warm ,all I wanted to do was snuggle up to that warmth but I reframed myself from doing it. I kept still not knowing what to do and not giving into the temptation of leaning back into his boy.

" I-im not. " I stuttered, wondering why Marvolo wanted to be so close to me.

" Good. " came his curt reply and his body moved away from mine and closer to the doors, I was forced to move with him as his hand was still I my lower back.

Marvolo pushed the doors open with a flick of his wand and immediately all conversation ceased . I kept my eyes on the floor already knowing most of these people from all the ranting Lucius did. I did not want to meat them at all, I did not know that we would have an audience today, the worst part it did nothing to sooth my nerves .

Marvolo stopped in front of a thrown like chair that faces the entire crowd of Death Eaters. Their was way more than I expected .After all the Dark Lord has only been back for a few weeks. He must work really fast.

I was stopped by Marvolo his hand forcing me next to him ,not liking the stares I removed myself from his hand and moved slightly behind him hoping I would get some shelter from the stars that bore into my head.

" My loyal followers, I am glad to see you all are healthy and well. " Marvolo's voices boomed through the hall. " It has been some time but I am back and together we shall continue from where we left off and destroy the light. "loud cheers, applause and whistles followed.

I looked around and saw the happy if not slightly insane faces of men and women, most if them worked in the ministry from what I have heard.

" It has been some time and I need you to report everything that has happened in the time I have been .....absent. " Marvolo said, his voice easily louder than the cheering.

Many people eagerly nodded and one by one they stepped forward, as people made their reports while others glanced my way. Their face either filled with curiosity or jealousy.  I get that they would be curious of who I am and why am I standing next to their lord but it was not really necessary to be jealous of it. It was one man, a very handsome man but still.
