DRACO'S POV

"Come on! This is the main entrance" Bria dragged me over to a pair of big white doors; as we walked inside my mouth almost dropped to the floor. It was a huge building that had abstract glass roofs; the walls were white as well as the floor making it look clean. There were tons of people here; so much so that there was barely any room to walk without bumping into anyone.

I saw that the walls were lined up with a bunch of different names; and it seemed to have separate rooms for each name with different styles of clothing in each one.

Aldo

American Vintage

Armoni Exchange

Furla

Gap

What did all these names mean? Were they different clothing stores? I never thought Muggles were this...advanced.

"So where do you want to go to first?" my eyes scanned the area until they stopped on a store called Rw&Co. I pointed it out and we walked in together; immediately I saw clothing that I would personally wear. I didn't realize how many styles there were; I guess since there was only so much in our world that was why we all wore the same things.

"These look nice" I looked over as Bria held up a pair of dark grey dress pants; they looked similar to the ones that I was wearing. I took them and looked at the price; forgetting that it was in Muggle money. That's fine, I knew a spell that can change from wizard money to Muggle money. I held onto the pants and a few shirts while Bria looked around.

"Hi would like me to start a room for you?" I jumped and looked over to see a lady slightly older than us; she had her arm stretched out at me; as if asking me to give her something.

"Sure! That would be great" Bria grabbed the clothes from me and handed them to the lady. Before I could take them back the lady was already around the corner with my clothes; I turned to Bria with a confused look.

"She's taking your clothes to a change room so that you can try them on; to see if you like them" I nodded, that made more sense. After another couple of minutes Bria didn't seem to see anything that she liked. So, we went to the change room and I tried on the pants and two polo shirts; one was dark blue and the other was a wine red.

"Hm I like the pants but I see you more in the navy blue shirt rather than the red" I agreed, I was never a red person; it reminded me of Gryfindor too much. After purchasing the items we decided to grab lunch; she took me upstairs where I could smell tons of different food. I saw names like Subway, New York Fries, The Grand Café; we decided on the Grand Café.

But, as we were walking inside I saw two people who I thought I would never see; Bellatrix Lestrange and Fernier Greyback. They were supposed to be at my parents house right now.

The actual reason why I came home early is because Voldemort had other plans that he wanted to discuss with me and my parents. There was to be a war in the warmer months; and when that happens I have to fight with them against Hogwarts. I'm here so that they can train me better with the Dark Arts. Do I like it? no I absolutely hate it; but if I don't do this than my family and I will be killed. If there was some way out of this I would've left already.

Before they saw me I grabbed Bria by the arm and turned us around; walking towards another store.

"Hey! Draco where are we going?" I put my finger to my lips as I ducked behind a rack of clothes; watching as Bellatrix and Fernier walked by. What were they doing here? Are they stupid enough to kill in broad daylight in such a busy place? No I don't see that being the case; even though I can't say my aunt Bellatrix was a smart woman, I knew she wasn't an idiot either.

"Draco what are we doing?" she whispered, I kept my eyes on my aunt and Fernier while I tried thinking of an answer.

"That's my Aunt over there, she's not exactly...stable. I've been trying to avoid her; if she sees me she'll freak so I don't want her noticing me" I felt her nod as we both watched my aunt slip around the corner; I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry you don't get along with your family; maybe one day you'll be able to make your own" my mind immediately went to Bria before I shook it out,

'Why would I think that?' I need to get a hold of myself; this is the third time I've hung out with her.

"Where do you want to go?" I looked down and frowned, realizing how long I had been hanging out with her. My parents were probably going to question where I am.

"I think I should head out Bri, my parents are probably wondering where I am" she nodded, though I noticed her mood drop a bit.

"That's fine, will I see you again soon?" I nodded, even though I wasn't sure how long that was going to be.

"I'll walk you home" she shook her head,

"Draco don't worry about it; make sure you get home before your parents start worrying" I opened my mouth to protest but all she did was shush me.

"I'll be fine, I don't think those kids plan on coming back after what you did to them" she laughed and I relaxed a little; I was still worried but I don't think I had any other choice.

"Okay I'll see you later Bri" I pulled her into a quick hug and felt the butterflies; calm down Draco. I pulled back and smiled before walking in the opposite direction so that she didn't see where I went.

~~~

"Where have you been Draco?" I ignored my mom's question as I tried to go around her; only to see my dad blocking my way up the stairs.

"Draco answer your mother" I narrowed my eyes and looked back at her.

"I went out, is it a crime now to want some air?"

*Smack*

I felt my neck swing to the left as my dad's hand connected with my cheek. I gripped it as I glared at my father.

"Do not talk like that to your mother" I scoffed but didn't say anything else.

"What has gotten into you Draco? It's like I barely know my own son anymore" I rolled my eyes at what my mother said which earned another slap from my father.

"Whatever it is better be nothing but a phase; this Christmas the Dark Lord will be joining us so you better be on your best behavior" I almost groaned but I held it in so that my cheek could feel some relief. Voldemort is coming? How was I supposed to see Bri?

I shook my head and walked around my father; trying to get up the stairs as fast as possible. I swung my bedroom door open before slamming it shut; I threw all the covers off of my bed in frustration before sitting down; running my hand threw my hair.

"Is there anything I can do for Mr. Malfoy?" I looked to my left and saw Willow our new house elf. Ever since Dobby was free it took father a while to replace him. Looking at Willow I saw some fresh bruises on her arms and neck. Father probably strangled her again.

"No Willow I'm fine" she nodded but she didn't leave the room; I sighed and looked down at my arms. Scanning my left arm I slowly reached down and peeled away my long-sleeve shirt revealing the Dark Mark. I could almost see it moving; it made the room feel thick just by looking at it.

I narrowed my eyes at it; I hated this mark. I got it just a year ago during my sixth year. I didn't have a choice; father disappointed Voldemort so they went to me; forced me to take the oath and be a Death Eater. I did it so that I wouldn't die; Voldemort threatened it. I wish Father would've stuck up for me but that probably would've ended in death.

"Willow doesn't think you're evil sir" my eyes looked over at Willow and I narrowed them,

"What makes you think that Elf?" she winced back but not as much as she would've to my dad.

"Mr. Malfoy can pretend but he shouldn't do it forever; sir isn't capable of being evil" I didn't reply; she kind of reminded me of Bria in a way; I looked down and smiled softly at Willow.

"Thanks Willow" she smiled and nodded before snapping her fingers as she disappeared.

I can't pretend forever; I knew that. But, until Potter defeats Voldemort I'm stuck like this.

I can only hope that I don't have to pretend like this forever.
