OH. MY. GOD. NO.
NONONONONONONO! This can't be happening! This isn't fair, this can't be right! I quickly backed as far away from the parchment as I could, it had to be lying. Draco's eyes widened as he looked at the paper, he took another look at me and stalked towards me. I Beelined towards the door, ready to escape.
"Escape is futile sweetheart! The doors are locked to anyone who isn't a death eater!" He said as I rattled the door. He strode over to me and grabbed my wrist, he dragged me over to the group, but in defiance, I raised my arm high, then brought it down quickly, hoping to break free of his iron tight hold. But I decided to give up when we reached the adults who had all read the parchment.
"Well this isn't ideal." I said plainly, breaking the awkward silence in the room.
"What ever you you mean dear?" Mrs Malfoy asked me, although she was very smart, she could be a bit thick.
"I'm potters mudblood..remember? One of your cult followers kidnapped me and now me and my friends are being held hostage here. Or did you all forget?" I said in a sickly sweet voice looking at each of them.
"It's not too late to change sides, my dear." Voldemort, my father, said matter-a-factly, amusement in his eyes.
"Bite me!" I said with gritted teeth.
"Ooooooo, baby's got moxie!" Bellatrix cackled from behind me. Could this day get any worse?
"The prophecy, my lord." Lucius said while holding out the glowing orb. Apparently I spoke too soon.
"Luciusss." Voldemort hissed as he grabbed the prophecy.
"no." I whispered. What did we do to deserve this?
"This teaches you to never trust a snake." Draco said condescendingly. I glared at him and struggled against his grip. The prophecy lit up and swirled again, and a breathy voice was heard throughout the room.
"The heir of the dark lord shall rise in power. her magic grows by day, but her sense of allegiance will weaken. Her mind must be swayed; for neither side can win while she is on the other." It said with a whisper. The entire room turned towards me again. I paled, but the prophecy was for Harry.
"That can't be right, Harry was the one who found the prophecy, it was for him, it can't be me!" I said in desperation. Today wasn't my day.
"But weren't you the one who retrieved it for him? You grabbed the prophecy, you activated it, not Harry. I'm the one who sent the vision to Harry in the first place." Voldemort told me, a crooked smile plastered on his face.
"It doesn't matter, my allegiance is to Harry! I won't forget how terrible you all are!" I growled at them.
"'Tis but a phase; you will find that the dark side is so very tempting. Even you aren't immune to the lust for power." Lucius told me, also giving me a smirk.
"The only thing I want is knowledge; I'm not like you!" I yelled to them.
"Oh but my dear, knowledge is power." My father told me.
"Draco, show miss Riddle to her quarters." Lucius told his son.
"Wait, how do you have a room prepared, when I literally just found out I was a pureblood?" It didn't make any sense; we were all surprised.
"That wasn't the only prophecy about you, a seer told us you would come to us soon; we just didn't know who you would be exactly." Draco told me.
"Great." I said sarcastically; they were always one step ahead.
"Draco, stay back, I wish to talk with you in private. Bellatrix, take our daughter up to her room." My father told Draco, and my mother took my arm and led me up a grand staircase.
"I guess that also explains that curse." I said, making idle conversation.
"I didn't think it would be you, it surprised us both." She said, but I couldn't tell if she was talking about herself and me, or her and Voldemort.
"But I just had to be sure." She continued, leading me down a long corridor.
"So how many other muggleborns have you fucked up just to find me?" I asked dryly, no longer scared about repercussions.
"You shouldn't concern yourself over mudbloods anymore." She said while giving me a pointed look. I could tell I was pushing her boundaries.
"Ha! Have you forgotten that I was a mudblood not an hour ago!?" I said while giving a mock laugh. These people were so hypocritical.
"Yes, but now we know that you are not. Speaking of which, you are no longer allowed to associate yourself with those mudbloods, halfbloods, and blood traitors downstairs." She said while putting a key in a door, it seemed that we have arrived.
"Those mudbloods, halfbloods, and blood traitors are my friends! You can't tell me what to do!" I said, now completely yelling at her. She was mad, thinking that I would abandon them and the order!
"Don't raise your voice to me! I may be your mother, but I will not hesitate to punish you! You will learn to respect me!" She said. I gave another laugh.
"You're barking! I'm showing you the same respect that you showed me downstairs!" I yelled at her, not bothering to admire the lavish room that we were now standing in.
"CRUCIO!" She cursed me, and I fell to the floor, writhing in pain.
"You will learn to hold your tongue! Next time I won't go so easy on you!" She yelled at me while slamming and locking the door. I rolled on my back to look at the ceiling . When had this day gone so wrong?
