chapter 13: summer

I didn't speak to anyone but Pogo for weeks. I never left my room. Draco came by and knocked but I never responded. I couldn't.

One day Pogo appears and tells me i'm needed in the dining hall. I knew what was happening. For the sake of my mom I knew i'd have to be down there when he came. I dress quickly and walk down.

The meeting must have already started, I pick up bits of conversation. Lots of "Harry", "Dumbledore", and "Order". I walk in and the room goes quiet. There's an open seat on the left side of Voldemort. My seat.

I silently take my seat and stare at the tables. Draco is staring at me but I ignore him. He doesn't deserve it.

"Now that everyone is here let's talk about our newest members missions." At Voldemort's words everyones eyes fall on me and Draco. "They will return to Hogwarts in exactly two weeks. There they will find a way to kill Dumbledore."

I gasp and my hand tightens around my thigh, nails digging in and drawing blood.

"This will be a true initiation and if completed correctly you might rank very well within my ranks." He continues speaking but I can't listen.

He assigns Bellatrix to teach us dark magic everyday. I know how upset Harry would be with me. I was a part of Dumbledores Army only a few months ago and now i'm tasked to kill him.

The meeting is over quickly and as I walk out I hear rushed footsteps coming my way.

"You can't keep ignoring me. It's not fair." Draco's voice comes from behind me.

I turn and face him, "I can, and will ignore you. You know what wasn't fair? SELLING me out to the fucking DARK LORD."

"I didn't know-."

"I don't care Draco. Leave me the fuck alone. I don't want to speak to you." I turn back around and leave his hurt and angry face just standing there.

Being alone in my room was a relief. I go into the bathroom and turn on water for a bath.

I strip and step into the tub. The warm water doesn't soak away my worries as I wish it had but feeling that warmth all over my body was comforting.

I lightly trace the dark mark on my arm. It's really beautiful but has such a horrible meaning.

I bathe till the water is cold. I step out and slip on the tiles floor. Shit, I can already feel a bruise forming on my ass. I change into my silk night gown and try my hardest to drift off to sleep.

My nightmares are full of Voldemort and Draco. Killing me over and over again. Killing my mom.

I wake up sweaty and cold. Pogo appears not a minute later with breakfast and a note.

Felicity,

As much as you may not like me right now. Please come shopping with me, we have a few things to discuss. Just us girls. Wear something with long sleeves (I assumed you would anyways).

Narcissa

Shopping? With the woman who sold me off to my murder father? Sounds great.

I go into my closet and pick a short green dress with long sleeves that matches my eyes. I decide on no makeup. I eat my breakfast and walk down the staircase to the front door where Narcissa is waiting.

"You look lovely. Grab my arm, we will use apparition." I hold her arm and I feel it crushing me again.

Standing in Diagon Alley sends me into a fit of laughter. She stares at me.

"Sorry, it's just strange how different my circumstances are this time around."

✧

We go into a few shops before she tells us why we are there.

"I need you to know I am nothing like my husband. Neither is Draco. We were uninformed of his plans."

I just nod my head, "I understand. I just cannot forgive Draco though."

"He gets easily manipulated and hurt, all I ask is be careful with him."

I scoff at that. She pretends she didn't hear me but I know she did.

She buys me all my school books and clothes fit for a death eater, "Just to cover your arm."

I have to admit, she has a great fashion sense. Most of the clothes I picked out were dark coloured. She buys anything I put my hands on.

We walk past a jewelry shop, in the window is the necklace Draco got me. I push back the lump in my throat and try to ignore it. Narcissa senses my ease and guides me into a back alleyway.

"Ready to go back? I have to start dinner soon."

"Yes." I think for a moment, "Why don't you have the house elves cook."

"They cook when Lucius is home but when it's me and Draco, I cook. Feels more homey."

I just stay silent and grab her arm and we apparate back to the manor. She hands me my bags and hands a house elf hers, "Dinner will be at 6:30 if you want to come down."

I don't go down for dinner, but just like every day food appears in my room.

I hear commotion from below me at 8. I slip out of my room and stand behind one of the stair columns. A man and woman with dark hair are talking to Narcissa. A girl comes out from behind them and runs up to Draco.

Astoria Greengrass.

He smiles at him and she begins talking animatedly. They are lead away into the den where I cannot see or hear them anymore.

Fuck. I couldn't bring myself to go downstairs but hours later I hear giggle coming from the stairs. I cast a quick invisibility charm and  open my door a crack.

I see dark hair leaned back and a flash of blonde. Astoria is leaned against the same column I was watching from behind. Draco has his back to me but I still have a clear view of him leaving light kisses down her neck and across the top of her collarbone.

I silently close my door. What is happening. I hear another giggle and Draco's door shuts.

I hate you Draco Malfoy. I hate you.
