meetings

I sit down next to Draco nervously waiting for 4 death eaters to come check up on us, and our progress. Meanwhile, Draco keeps pouring fire whiskey into his glass and instantly gulping it down. 

"There's no need to drink so much, Draco." Narcissa implied, while she sat down at the table, "They'll be here very soon, please refrain." 

He huffed and continued drinking. I just shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"There's no need for a lot of things, mother, but here we are with an empty large house and all the galleons you could ever ask for. And for what?" Draco snapped, and I hit his shoulder.

"Leave your mother alone Draco, she's been through enough trying to raise an asshole like you," I scoff. 

Before Draco could reply, the front door opened and 4 death eaters fled into the room and sat down all at once. Time to start my act.

"Evening Draco, Arianna," Corban Yaxley greeted us, Draco just raised his glass, and I looked at Corban and looked back to Narcissa without greeting him. Father always said it was for the weak.

Draco and Narcissa sat at each ends of the table, while I sat close to Draco just in case he lashed out. 

Dolohov, Yaxley, Amyus and Dolohov Carrow all sit down across each other. I have to admit it, the Carrow twins scared me a lot, but I just had to hide it.

"Where's Lucius?" Alecto asked, while looking around the Dining hall.

"In hiding," Narcissa responded and cleared her throat, "would you all fancy a drink?"

"Ah no, I'm alright, thank you Narcissa." Amycus responded, "We won't be here long. The Dark Lord just sent us here to check up on your offspring; his second youngest member. We see his daughter, Arianna, is doing quite fine on her assignment." 

Everyone turned to look at Draco, "How far along are you two?"

Before I could respond Draco interrupted, "Almost done."

"I find that very hard to believe," Dolohov replied, "The Dark Lord told us that you two are having minor setbacks due specific people, yes?" I gulped and looked at Draco. 

"To answer your question Draco, the Dark Lord is watching all of us. In fact he's watching Lucille and Lorenzo as we speak." Alecto announced and I start to get angry.

"Don't say his name!" I exclaim and jolt up from my seat, and Draco pulls me back down, "Don't ever say Lorenzo, keep his name out of your fucking filthy mouth," I yell, as I sit back down.

I slouch down in my seat not breaking eye contact with Alecto as I smirk. 

"Keep Lucille out of this," Draco seethed. "I will finish my task, and then that's it. After that, I expect my family and I to be alone. And I expect for Lucille to be left alone, as well." 

I shook my head and looked down. There was no way of leaving the Dark Mark or being a death eater. Once you have the dark mark, you're his. Then you get to choose, follow him, or die. I've learned a lot, ever since I learned about Regulus Black, I wish I were as brave as him. 

"Surely you don't think that once your task is over, you're free, right?" Alecto scoffed.

"That's enough, he doesn't understand," I say blankly, and everyone shuts up, I look at Draco, "Once you get the Dark Mark there's no going back, this is our life now Draco," I say and grab his hand to hold it, "We worship my father now, there's no going back to our 'normal lives' this is our normal life." 

Draco pulls his hand back and looks at me confused.

 "You're distracted....It's that filthy little mudblood of yours, isn't it?" Yaxley shouted.

"Don't call her that.." Draco muttered. Only I can call her a mudblood, because I've told Draco many times that I'm just saying it to act like I care about blood purity. 

"Or what? You're going to harm me?" Yaxley teased, "I might have to harm her myself if it means getting your task done faster."

Draco jolted up and walked over to him, and pulled the hem of his shirt to pull Yaxley closer to Draco's face.

"If you ever lay a finger on her, you'll never see the light of fucking day," Draco snapped.

"There's no need to harm her, Yaxley," Narcissa insisted, "Draco will do his task, I'll make sure of it. Just leave Lucille out of it." 

"Why are you defending a fucking mudblood Narcissa?" I yell and slam my hand on the table. I look at Draco for a second to reassure him that I don't mean it. 

Yaxley looked at Narcissa and chuckled, "What is she going to give your son? A happy life?" 

"I believe so," Narcissa muttered as a tear rolled down her cheek. 

"Bloody hell, you two are brainwashed thinking that mudbloods will bring joy to your bloody lives," Yaxley scoffed, "Focus on the bloody task, and we won't hurt Lucille. Boys, we're leaving." 

They all left, leaving us three in the dining room.

"Draco, you know I do care for you?" Narcissa said lowly, "And I care about Lucille too." 

"Oh really? Why's that?" 

"Yeah, why is that Narcissa? You've been acting suspicious." I add.

"I..just do." 

"Nonsense, you just want to rebel against my father. But as you wish, he's emotionally abused us for our whole lives, so have at it." He said as he drank a bottle of fire whiskey, "You have a fantastic night mum." 

Draco pulls my arm and takes me to his room again. I guess I'm just like a substitute Lucille for him, as he can't see her. When we walk in he pushes me on his bed, and is inches away from me again. But this time he spots something from the corner of his eye. He goes down and picks up a sweatshirt, presumably Lucille's and holds it close to him and silently cries. I sit down next to him and rub his back as he lays down on my shoulder.

I couldn't sleep so I decided to post another chapter lol, but another one is coming later today goodnight.
