I never thought I was a bad person, didn't exactly consider myself good either, I always regarded myself as neutral. I knew there was more to life than black and white and couldn't be bothered to involve myself in the drama of those to blind to see it. Even my house at school was the most neutral, go Ravenclaw! But recently I've learned it's hard to stay neutral when there's a war going on, you have to either pick a side or get caught in the crossfire. Do you wonder what side I'm on? I sometimes wonder how I got here. You see when I was young I would try to be good for my parents, they were good people and they told me that good things happen to good people. I tried to believe them but I never really did. Then the war started, they of course decided to fight the good fight, maybe fight is a bit too aggressive to describe their involvement, it could be said that they aided the people that actually did the fighting behind the scenes, hiding them and things like that. Well it doesn't matter anyway, they were murdered by death eaters in my last year at Hogwarts. It was then I made my choice. Some would think that I would join the order to avenge the death of my parents and to honour them and make them proud. But I was angry, the order promised to protect my parents and they failed and I doubt they could have protected me. Mostly I was angry because my parents had lied to me, bad things can happen to good people. It made me sick, sick of trying to be good, I was done with it. So I became a death eater. And to be honest it isn't a bad life. Kind of fun at times. I guess because I never lost my ties to my old friends, people who consider themselves to be good and because I never really did anything to make the world believe I was a bad person I was always given undercover missions to retrieve information. So its not like I killed anybody, although I'm sure I could for the right reasons. So to conclude I'm a death eater and not a bad person just not a good one either.

"Grey?" a cold voice hissed through the dark room

"Yes, my lord?" I answered calmly while going down on one knee.

"Ah Keira, get up, I have a job for you." He said possibly sounding amused.

"Yes my lord." I said again trying to hide my curiosity and I stood up.

"I'm sure you are aware that young Mr Malfoy has recently on my command gone to the order and 'repented' and has been pardoned and is now a 'free man'."

"I am aware of that my lord" I confirmed my curiosity growing.

"And I'm sure a smart girl like yourself knows that after his attempt at murdering Dumbledore he won't be accepted back into society" I nodded not wanting to interrupt him. "Good. You may have also noticed many young people around your age are rushing off and getting married."

"I have my lord ... but what has that got to d-"

"I'm getting to that!" he interrupted harshly "I think it would be best if you and Mr Malfoy became a married couple, just pretend after all, you're quite a talented actress. That way you could help him become accepted by the right people and if your taken in my the group you may be able to retrieve valuable information and if you really got close to these people no one would suspect you two if one of them was randomly murdered." I'm pretty sure the shock was clearly written across my face, I mean it's easy to see that someone's stunned when they start imitating a goldfish. Voldermort chuckled, something I never thought was possible and something I never wanted to hear again. "Any objections?"

"No my lord" I said when my brain finally started functioning words. Really I wanted to scream yes, of course I objected, it was Draco bloody Malfoy, I didn't want to have to marry that bastard even if it was just pretend.

"Good, there will be a ceremony tonight, for picture purposes and such, a house has already been purchased and an account has been set up to make sure your well off until Mr Malfoy gets a job. You'll be picked up at 7 tonight and will be informed on more of the details then. You may leave" I nodded my head not trusting myself to say anything, bowed and walked away. I tried to let everything sink in; from tonight I was going to be known as Mrs Malfoy. 'I think I need a drink!'
