his hufflepuff princess

chapter 8 the mark

TW- torture

Lyra POV

dinner just finished and i was now heading down to snapes office to go home. when i arrived he didn't say a word he only handing me some floo powder and sent me on my way.

"STONEWALL MANOR" i threw the powder to the floor and then i was at home. i stepped out of the fireplace and walked through the house to find them "MOTHER,FATHER" i was walking through the the downstairs halls "in here Lyra" the sound of my dads voice filled the silent house it was coming from the drawing room.

when i entered i saw my parents both standing there with High-strung expressions but my attention was more on the others that were in the room Bellatrix lestrange, fenir greyback and voldermort himself. i didn't know what to do did my parents even summon me or did the death eaters do it to make me watch them kill my parents "Lyra honey its your time"

"Uhh Lyra stonewall i was so pleased to hear that you are going to be taking my mark" MARK they want me to take the dark mark and become one of them there is no way i could ever do that, i shook my head getting ready to run out when i felt a large hand clasp itself around my throat blocking my airways making me lightheaded then a snigger came from the man doing it....greyback "now now fenir let the girl speak-" bellatrix's sauntered over towards us twirling her wand between her fingers

at this point i really thought i was going to die fenir grip didn't falter and things were starting to become dark "OH DEAR LORD LET HER GO WE NEED HER ALIVE" voldermorts voice rang through the room and fenir let go within seconds i knew that my throat was going to be bruised. not wasting anytime bellatrix now had her dagger pressed up against my throat and her was leering at me.

"now lyra we need you to join us or you can face it the hard way" her voice was dripping with pure evil but there was no way i was giving in not ever, they took my silence as an answer "very well then bellatrix by any means convince her to get the mark take as long as needed im sure her parents can make an excuse up for not being at school" voldermort ushered everyone out leaving me alone with bellatrix "hello pretty now one last time before we face it the hard way will you take the mark" i stayed silent which was a mistake as it only angered her

"CRUCIO"

pain... it was all over my body piercing every inch my body felt as if it was on fire and as if i was being stabbed on repeat all over it went on for ages before it finally stooped and she made her way over to me holding up her dagger running it along my arm as i was now lying on my back it a starfish postion but i was in too much pain to move or fight back.

she dug the tip of the blade into my skin running it down my now bare stomach, my screams ensue throughout the house leaving me wondering it they were going to stop her "so darling whats it going to be" i couldnt give in i cant, i shook my head feeling the blade go deeper but this time she was carving something... words.

after she finished she looked pleased with herself "how do you like it" i lifted my head to read the words now permently engraveed on my stomach 'WEAK BITCH' was now engraved across my stomach in large letters blood pooling around me i looked up to her with pleading eyes which she only laughed at " so whats it going to be" i nodded my head knowing i couldnt take anymore i felt numb i was weak.

she called in voldermort and told him i agreed " well down you have made the right choice little one now give me your left arm"

the pain was terrible but a lot better the the unforgivable curse she had thrown at me the mark was now etched onto my forarm it was burning and i was going to throw up but i choaked it down until the death eaters left and then i hurled into and rubbish bin near me. i was still bleeding and my body still aching from the curse but nothing was compared to the void that was now left inside me i felt guilty already and all i did was get the mark i cant imagine whats going to happen when i have to actually do a task for him

my farther came in and cleaned me up when he saw my stomach he cried and said sorry over and over again as if it made a difference but how could it he helped lead me to darkness " the dark lord told me you are to return to hogwarts tonight and i am to right to you about your task" with this he got up and left not giving me a second glance

i sat there for hours and when i finally saw the time i decided it was time to go so i got up and went back to the fire place without a word to my parents only saying " SNAPES OFFICE HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY" when i arrive snape was still siting in his chair looking up at me "it happened didn't it and you tried refusing and it got your tortured" i simply ignored him and made my way to my dorm and getting ready for the day as it was already 6 in the morning

i got a turtle neck on to cover the brusing and the mark from anyone so they cant see it. by the time i had finished getting ready it was 7 and most people would now be in the great hall eating but i wasnt hungry so i decided to take a walk through the courtyard.

i looked around and saw all this kids smiling and having a great time and a pit in my stomach formed they had no idea what was coming and all i could think about was half of this people are going to end up dead trying.... we are all going to become products of war
