Maybe we aren't all that different (Blaise Zabini)

First meeting

Trigger warning- self harm

Blaises POV

"Your not coming to this meeting." Draco said flustered. We were both standing in the hall way an hour before we are supposed to have the meeting.

"Why?"

"Because the Dark lord wants to talk to us before he allows you to come. We must talk to him to know the plan."

"The plan? I thought I had to go to a meeting before there's supposed to be a plan."

"No you don't. I have to go. Stay in your room and I'll let you know later."

"Okay Mom." I rolled my eyes.

"Now who's the petty one." He turned on his heel heading down the stairs and to the room where the meeting will take place. I tucked my hands in my pockets before making my way back into my bedroom.

My stomach was tight and I couldn't find a way to not think about it. I sat on my bed waiting for anyone to just walk through the door. I wanted to leave. The dark lord was a floor below me and there wasn't anything I could do. I can't leave. I can't go. I have to sit here and wait until Draco walks through that door to tell me when it will all happen.

The anticipation is killing me. I started pacing through my room. My hands flying every which way, trying to find something to do. I slammed my hands down onto the dresser annoyed and flustered. I looked up into the small mirror. My eyes were red and angry. For a moment you could see how terrified I was and that's when I felt the glass shattering between my knuckles and the wall.

I looked down at the glass that covered the dresser. Drops of blood were splattered on them all. I looked at my hand finding smaller shards of glass and the cuts on my knuckles. I walked into the bathroom immediately running my hand under cold water. I pulled the glass out before casting a small spell to heal the cuts quicker.

I heard the floor boards outside my bedroom door. My stomach dropped knowing that my anticipation was over but that everything is becoming real. Draco is standing outside my door with the information that I needed to know but didn't want to hear. I walked to the door slowly. I turned the gold handle before opening the door with a creak. The platinum blood stood a foot away staring at the floor.

"2 days."

"2 days?"

"You will meet him in 2 days. You will get your mark and then attend the meeting the day after. He will then proceed to tell you your task and update everyone. There is no other information. I suggest preparing yourself." He looked to his right finding the smashed glass and my blood.

"I was frustrated. I'll clean it up and fix the mirror before your mother notices."

"OK." He walked away without anymore words.

2 days. In 2 days my fear will come to life. In 2 days I will meet the dark lord and give him my complete loyalty.

2 days.

I have 2 days.

I made my way down the stairs. My suit was tight, buttoned all the way to the top making me feel suffocated. I tugged at my sleeve trying to find something to fix because I can't fix the situation. I took a slow step on the last stair as Lucius took a step to my side.

"Ready son?" Do not call me son you fucking asshole. I nodded my head making sure my face was emotionless as I kept it 80% of the time.

He walked me down this long hall way. He stopped abruptly a few feet away from two tall black doors. I looked back at Lucius who's head was facing the floor and hands folded in front of himself. I took that as a cue to leave his side and walk through the door.
