More than just a mute witch (On Hold)

A name, my name

A have been in this house with Draco, for 5 days now. I have been able to go outside, I liked to be barefoot, though Draco's mother seemed a bit weary of that fact. Though they never made me do anything, it was so strange to me, being able to do what I wanted never having to be forced to do something. I enjoyed doing what I wanted, but i tended to be a bit confused on what to do. Draco was to be with me all the time, surely he was getting bored of my only reading and walking around outside. He had to do homework over the holidays, as did I. Apparently it was summer break and school, Hogwarts that is, is out. I'm am to be with Draco and Draco is to be with me at all times. I felt a bit confused as to why but I didn't mind. I had finished my work the day I received my homework. Simple, I have been alive a while and all forms of magic came naturally. I knew anything that came to me essentially, well anything magically. I couldn't really understand people.

Though Draco seems stressed I help with his homework, well as much as I could. He seemed adamant about me helping him, so I didn't do to much. But it would also seem like he didn't know of a proper name to give me. He wanted it to a pure blood name that was also completely unique. He was making this name to complicated, I could care less what people would call me. Though it seemed like the man that brought me here, as a recall him saying his name to be Voldemort would be arriving on my 7th day here to check up on me. Voldemort seems to be the one that wants Draco to give me a name and as I've heard is less than forgiving when people don't do what he's asked of them. Tis strange to me though, because the same man was the on who gave me the freedom I never expected to have, he was kind when he helped me. But who am I to know, I'm not going to pretend I know Voldemort enough to think he wouldn't hurt Draco if he didn't find a decent name for me.

It seems if Draco didn't have a name for me by then he would get into much trouble. So I needed to think of a name. Names let's see Voldemort means flight of death. Draco is a name of a constellation and also can mean dragon or serpent. What name fits me?

For the longest time I was to serve, no I was to be hurt, no that isn't not right. Let me think, for the longest time and to everyone who knew of me I wasn't anything, I was nothing. Nothing, zip, nada, zilch, none of those would be a good name. Hmmm right I was a big empty Zero. Zero, yes I am Zero, that feels right. Paper i need to write it down and tell Draco.

I find what I need and write it down, I feel for Draco's magic, which was signaling him to be in his room. He was probably trying to do homework, hopefully he wouldn't mind a small interruption.

I walk into his room which caused him to look up at me as I shuffled over handing him the paper.

"I am Zero" he read aloud and I nod.
