Alessa's POV

I woke up in cold sweat. I looked around to see a bright light from the windows. For a second I was confused, but I remembered the events that happened the day before. I sighed in relief.

I saw Draco sitting on his bed, playing with his wand. He glanced at me and did a double take. He went over to me abruptly.

"Uh, Les," Draco looked at me worriedly, "what happened to your..." He pointed at my face.

"What?" I said, touching my cheek. "What's wrong with my face?" I felt something sting when I touched one particular spot. I touched the sensitive skin and trailed my finger along it. It was long, reaching from my left eyebrow to my chin.

Draco looked disgusted and shocked at the same time. I didn't know what was so wrong, it was just a scar. It's going to heal. Draco didn't say anything and pointed at the mirror on my bedside table.

I shakily held the hand mirror in front of my face. I looked at the mirror and let out a blood-curdling scream.

"WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT THE ACTUAL F-"

Draco slapped his hand on my mouth, managing to muffle my words.

"Calm down, I'm sure this is nothing Madam Pomfrey can't fix." He rubbed my shoulders.

At that moment, said person came in the doors, rushing towards me.

"Oh," she mumbled, "how do you feel?"

"Not very good??" I half-shouted. "What is this thing on me??" I pointed at the thin scar on my face. But it wasn't just a scar. Along the length of the scar, a green light seemed to glow in my skin.

"It was very dark magic, even Dumbledore didn't know what it was." Madam Pomfrey said.

"Call Professor Snape here." Draco told her.

She nodded and rushed off.

"Les, what is this?" Draco said, touching the scar. I was worried, if this was dark magic, there may be a chance this couldn't heal. It could permanently ink my skin.

"Can we talk about something else maybe? Something I can actually answer." I said, patting the sport next to me so Draco can sit there.

"Wanna tell me why my damned cousin was cursing you last night?" Draco said softly.

"He polyjuiced into Fairmont. Tricked me into the library, forced me to go to him. I refused, so he started hexing me. Apparently he was supposed to convince me to join Tom, and he took it seriously." I scoffed. "He wanted my consent so he wouldn't 'fail my master'."

"Pretty messed up huh?" Draco chuckled darkly.

"Hey, it's your family, not mine." I joked.

"I don't have blood lusting brother do I?"

"Really? You didn't see Seth as a brother?"

Draco went silent for a while, playing with his ring. "You know how I feel."

"Don't worry, I had a crush on him." I smiled at him. "I wasn't any better."

He gave me a small smile. He opened his mouth to say something when Snape came in.

"I see you have seen your disastrous situation." Snape sighed, pulling out a small vial.

I frowned, touching my face.
