Royals (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

Chapter 59

(Name) and William stopped running, they were gasping for air and William pushed the door open and Elizabeth stood in the middle of the room. "Mum!" (Name) moved towards her mother embracing the women. "I'm sorry baby" her mother muttered moving away from her. "Elizabeth no! I thought we agreed to wait!" William cried moving forward. (Name) peered up at her mother confused, "what's happening?" the girl questioned stepping back towards the door. "you must do this (Name)!" her mother called "do what?" she stepped further back tripping over her dress.

The people from earlier apparated into the room taking off their masks, "become one of us" Voldemort stepped forward and (Name) began to scoot back, "never" she cried out reaching for her wand. "Foolish girl, this was always your destiny" the ugly man hissed snapping her wand from her hands. "get her!" he commands and Draco's father and that ugly Rat Pettigrew moved towards her forcing out her left arm. "I'm so sorry!" her mother cried in anguish watching her daughter suffering the same fate she did. "I hate you!" (Name) screamed at the women trashing violently in the men's grasp. "It'll be okay (name)! I promise! I told you he wanted you!" William called barley audible over the small girl's shrieks of protest. 

Voldemort stepped forward and grasped her wrist pressing his wand to the flesh on the inside of her arm, he began muttering some kind of chant and (Name) cried in pain as the black began to invade her skin, first the skull appeared and then the winding black snake. The mark was extremely detailed, and if it didn't mean what it did, would be rather lovely. "you now listen to me, I am your lord!" Voldemort hollered and the girls cries grew louder "I would never listen to you! you were defeated by a mere baby! you're weak! you'll die!" she screamed and Voldemort chuckled "crucio!" the girl dropped to the floor and began to convulse screaming in agony. "who do you serve" he questioned and the girl looked at him, "I serve no one but myself!" she hissed and Voldemort laughed manically "cruico!" she began convulsing again the pain was excruciating, her mother's face was buried in her hands as she wept unable to protect her daughter. "you serve me you, foolish girl! Crucio!" and yet again her screams echoed the room. "Yes! Yes, I'm sorry! I serve you my Lord!" she cried out curling into a small ball gasping for air, her entire body ached.   Her very bones were on fire her head was surely splitting her eyes were rolling madly in his head, this pain was excruciating,  something unimaginable. It was if every single one of her nerves were being electrocuted, she twitched a few times. Her face had turned pale, her lips chapped and hair sprawled madly around her as she cried louder and louder. "our work here is done!" Voldemort Dissaperated followed by his followers. 

Her mother rushed to her side and dropped beside her lifting her child head into her lap "I'm sorry baby I'm so so sorry" she wept alongside her daughter "I tried so hard! I pushed you away so they wouldn't make you become this! I'm so sorry" Elizabeth's entire body was shaking as she watched her daughter twitching she wiped the tears from her eyes and look to William who glared at her. "you promised you would wait!" he hissed moving towards the two and picking the girl up "you're a disgrace Elizabeth" and with that, he left the room.

(Name) hadn't left her room in 3 weeks, her lips were cracked and she had deep bags underneath her eyes, her arm was red from all the times she tried to scrub the disgusting mark on her arm. Her face was red and puffy from crying so much, books were sprawled atop her bed, many unopened letters piled up on her bedside table. She was too busy, she was researching how to get that thing off her arm. A knock sounded on her door and Jinx walked in. "(Name) you must get ready... the train leaves soon" Jinx looked around the room at the many uneaten plates of dinner. The elf moved towards the girl, "come now... let's get you some food" the elf grasped the girls hand comfortingly "no thank you Jinx. I'm not hungry." her voice no longer held her normal happy kick to it, she sounded monotone as if she was void of all emotions "I insist!" Jinx tried to pull the girl out of bed "There's pumpkin juice" the elf tried to convince her "and pancakes?" Jinx noticed a slight glimmer of excitement in the girl's eyes, but quickly faded when she looked at her arm. She nodded pushing herself from the bed and making her way through the halls of the silent manor.

(Name) stood outside Kingscross in a large emerald knitted sweater dress, a black beret cap and a pair of thigh-length boots. Jinx had picked it out insisting that people would know something was wrong if she hadn't dress like she normally did. She took another drag from her cigarette. "(Name)?" she turned and there stood her three friends, she tried to smile, she wasn't expecting to see them so quickly, she hid the cigarette behind her back before dropping in and stepping on it casually. "oh hello" she looked up at them, their faces full of concern. Hermione rushed to her side engulfing her in a hug, and she didn't know what it was, maybe it was how loving Hermione hugged her, or how she smelt so familiar and like home, (Name) began to cry lightly onto her shoulder. Hermione didn't move, knowing her (h/c) friend would kill her if she let the two boys see her cry. "we'll talk about this later" Hermione whispered into her smaller friends hair. "come now let's get ourselves a compartment hm?" Hermione pulled away and (Name) nodded stepping back grabbing her cart and joining the other two boys. 

Harry stepped forward and planted a soft kiss on her lips making (Name) smile lightly, "you stopped responding to my owls I was so worried" Harry scolded the girl and she let out a dry laugh. They all began to walk again "did you get prefect (name)?" Ron questioned and (Name) let out a ghost of a smile opening her handbag and ruffling through it pulling out a green badge that read 'Prefect' Hermione squealed in excitement. "so did I! and Ron!" Hermione practically sang out. The four looked around to ensure there were no muggles watching and ran through the wall. 

They stood on Platform 9 and 3 quarters looking around excited for the school year, but (Name) dreaded it. What if he made her do something terrible. A warning whistle sounded; the students still on the platformstarted hurrying onto the train and we moved quickly onto it. The train was gathering still more speed so that the houses outsidethe window flashed past and they swayed where they stood."Shall we go and find a compartment, then?" Harry asked the three and they exchanged looks. "er" Ron muttered out "We're — well — Ron and I are supposed to go into the prefectcarriage so is (Name)" Hermione said awkwardly.Ron wasn't looking at Harry; he seemed to have become intenselyinterested in the fingernails on his left hand. "oh er- that's fine!" Harry exclaimed way too loudly earing some strange looks from passer Byers. "I don't think we'll have to stay there all journey, Our letters said we just get instructions from the Head Boyand Girl and then patrol the corridors from time to time." (Name) piped up quickly and Harry smiled gently, "that's fine, completely fine Love" Harry grinned "Well, I-I might see you later, then." Harry stuttered out and Ron groaned "Yeah, definitely," said Ron, casting a shifty, anxious look at Harry."It's a pain having to go down there, I'd rather — but we have to — Imean, I'm not enjoying it, I'm not Percy," he finished defiantly."I know you're not," said Harry and he grinned, But as the three waved goodbye walking deeper into the train Harry felt an odd sense of loss, he had never travelled alone before.
