Prologue

"Damn It Defen" Screamed the Dark Lord. "What level of incompetence are you possessing to even consider flirting with a bloody schoolgirl! Let alone one from Hogwarts!"

Hearing Snape snickering uncharacteristically made it harder for Defen to maintain his composure he so longed to keep in front of the Dark Lord. So ignoring Snape he decided to explain. "Lord, Amara is a Slytherin and 16 As well as"

The Dark lord cut him off and in a calmer but still commanding voice than earlier. "Defen I know your justifications and the law supports them but need I remind you of Dumbledore! That bloody man would stop at nothing to keep you from her if not in Azkaban for eternity if he were to discover this infatuation with one of his precious students especially if he discovered you to be one of my Death Eaters!"

"But Lord there must be some way." Defen pleaded desperately showing a side of him no Death Eater should ever show.

As if triggered by a switch the Dark Lord's whole demeanor changed to show how truly fed up with this he was. "There is no way!" He said screaming as if to help get the point across.

Defen loses all sense and screams back. "But she knows nothing of my ties to you or my being a Death Eater!"

The Dark Lord seemed caught off guard by something whether it be his courage to stand up to him or his comment but he snaps back "What of your mark then, surely you can't keep it covered all the time! You know better than anyone that your mark took to you deeper and stronger than any other of my followers!"

Defen having always been proud of this fact smirked. "And you obviously must think me to have the intelligence of a muggle if you think I haven't thought of this thats what my Ecryptio spell is for!"
