Why? Draco Malfoy X Reader

Year 6

Y/N's POV
"Honey, I know this is difficult for you to take in." My mother was on her knees so she could face me.
"But think about it. It's for the sake of our family." My mother told me as she tried catching my eyes.
I was sitting on a chair with my head facing down after the news I have just heard.
"Y/n. Your mother is right. This is an opportunity to show the Dark Lord that we mean no harm. That we are more than the mistake I made." My father almost begged.
I did not expect to come home and make a big decision that will change my life.
My mother gets up and joins my father who was standing over me.
I could feel their eyes staring at me, observing me.
I felt my leg start to bounce.
I take a deep breath.

My eyes look up to face my parents.

"I don't think I have a choice." I told them as I looked up to them. "But I'll do it. Willingly."

"I'll become a Death Eater"

My parents let go of the breath they were holding in and gave me a hug.

"Thank you, Y/N." My mother whispered in my ear.

Once I was able to be free from my parents, I walk up to my room and lock myself in there. I lean on the door and slide down. Tears forming in my eyes.
I just couldn't believe it.
I said yes to working for the Dark Lord.
Oh my god. Draco.
I have got to tell him.

I get up and grab parchment paper and my quill. I don't know how to start so I just say it.
o/n hoots with curiosity as she looks at me writing like crazy.
Once I finish, I put it in a envelope and into o/n's beak.
She flew away.

I put my head down on my desk and my mind is filled with thoughts.

Am I gonna have to kill people?
Kill Muggles?
Destroy things?
Rob things?
Use forbidden magic?
Dark magic?
And what about Hogwarts?
All I need to do is obey the Dark Lord.
I think I can do that.
O/n hoots and I look up to see her with a letter in her beak.
I take it and I rip it open.
I read the letter with anticipation.

I got the same news too. Don't send letters talking about it. They could be intercepted. I don't know if your parents told you yet. I'll see you at the meeting.
I don't know how to feel about it.
Draco Malfoy

His hand writing was messy. He probably wrote in a rush too. I sigh. I don't know how I'm feeling either.
I need to sleep on it even if it was 7pm.

. The Next Day .

"Sweetie, wake up. We need to go soon." I heard my mothers sweet voice say.
I groggily groan and get up.
I ate the breakfast the elves made and changed into the clothing that laid on my bed.
I'm being made an official Death Eater today. Draco will be there too. I won't be alone at least.
I wonder how he's feeling.

My parents and I apparated from our mansion and we arrived at Draco's mansion.
Hmm. Is this where the meeting is?

We walk in and it was filled with death eaters.
They were all big. And scary.
I felt my stomach turning. I excused myself to the bathroom quickly. I stared at myself in the mirror.
I look different.
I feel different.
I gently touch my left long sleeve as I roll it up.
The last time I'll see this forearm empty.
I take a deep breath and walk to the door.
As I went to touch the doorknob I stopped.
Am I sure I want to do this?
I can still back out if I want to.

Ugh, no.
What am I talking about?
Of course, I'm doing this.
I'm gonna do this.
For my family.

I grab the doorknob and turn it.
I pull the door open and my parents were there.

"Let's go, honey." My mother guides me down a hallway into a room.

Inside was a long black table and the room was dim.

I saw Draco with his mother on the other side of the table.

I was able to catch his eye and but he quickly looked away. He looked awfully pale.

I also saw Bellatrix, Draco's aunt, at the table.
She escaped Azkaban as well many others in this room did.
My parents and I take our seats at the table.

The whole room went silent when a long, dark green, snake slid across the table as it hissed.

Then a tall hooded figure walks into the room.

It was him.

The Dark Lord.

"Good Morning." the Dark Lord greeted in his raspy voice.

"What a day we have today indeed. I have word, we are introducing two new death eaters." He continued.
"Y/N L/N." He says my name. He smiles and everyone claps.
"Come." He called.
I stood up and I walked towards the Dark Lord. He was intimidating.
I stood my ground right next to him. He was tall and gave off a cold scent.
"Draco Malfoy. Come." the Dark Lord called as he looks around for him. Everyone claps once more.
Bellatrix cheers.
Draco stands up and he walks up to the Dark Lord and I.
"As Death Eaters, you are expected to be loyal to me and only me. Shall you betray me, I will have no choice but to kill you." the Dark Lord explains.
I gulped.
What the hell have I gotten myself into?
He gestured for us to roll up our left sleeve.
It's happening.

He grabs our forearms.
His hands were cold and clammy.
It sent goosebumps up my arm.
I shiver.

He pushes his dirty nail into my forearm as he glides it down.
I wince at the pain.
I began to bleed.
Draco did too.
Nagini slides between us and opens her mouth. A sliver of green flashes come out of her fangs and onto our wound.
It sends a tingle to my forearm and the dark mark begins to form.

It stung for a bit but the pain was immediately gone.

The wound heals itself and the dark mark was fully on my skin.

I put my arm down.

"You two will see me after the meeting." He says apathetically.
