"Draco, it's going to be alright." Cassie said, reaching for his arm. He flinched but didn't move. She looked at his arm and said, "Did they --"
"I didn't want to be a death eater, I swear! I just -- they made me and they -- they said they'd kill all of you. I -- I did it to protect the Weasleys."
"The Weasleys?" I asked.
He nodded, "When my father was sent to Azkaban, my mother was so upset and I couldn't stand being in that huge and empty manor. So they let me stay. I don't know why -- I'm a horrible person."
"We'll help you figure this out." Cassie reassured.
"I have a book -- that I may or may not have stolen from the restricted section -- with information about the Dark Mark. I'll go get it."
And with that I dashed out of the bathroom.

Cassie's P.O.V.
Draco's eyes were trained on his Dark Mark, glaring. 'It's so -- evil. You don't know how many times I've tried to rub it off, I've washed it and scratched it and it's driving me insane. Just hoping it would come off. I know it won't but I think if I just keep wishing -- it'll go away. It's so stupid."
"It is not, stupid, Draco."
His eyes moved to look into mine and my heart picked up pace. Holy shit.
"How can you be friends with me?" he asked, and looked down at his Dark Mark before looking back up, "How can anyone be friends with me? It's -- I"m just a huge disaster. And my whole family is evil."
"You're not your family." I said. I was still holding his arm and he held it like it was a hidious gash. Like it hurt to look at it.
He mumbled something.
"What?" I asked.
"Thank you." he said.
"For what?"
"Not screaming when you saw the Dark Mark."
"Why would I --?"
"Because it means that if you're around me you'll be killed." he cut me off.
He took his arm away and pulled the sleeve back down. Looking up at me again - Merlin, what's with all the eye contact? -- he said, "Can I try something?"
I raised an eyebrow, but nodded. And he kissed me.
