This story will eventually go totally OOC, but whatevs. Chapter 1, at least, really isn't. Italics thoughts.
Draco Malfoy looked around the dungeon. He had failed his master, Lord Voldemort, and was being punished. Or, well, would be. He didn't know what could possibly be up ahead. Shoving a person in a dungeon without their wand and feeding them (not well, but still feeding them) is not the Dark Lord's style.
A sliver of light showed on the far wall and Draco turned his head. Goyle's father pushed a half conscious Luscious Malfoy into the damp and dark surroundings.
"Father!" Draco yelled as he tried to run to him.
Voldemort lazily put the hex on Draco by waving his wand and not saying a word.
Draco stood frozen, but still slightly aware of his surroundings as Voldemort picked Luscious up to stand on his feet.
"I will release you, Draco," Voldemort began, "but you need to stay away from him." Voldemort gave a flick of his wand and Draco unfroze. "Do know what I plan to do?"
Draco shook his head a little too violently for he became nauseous. He stopped shaking his head and answered, "No Master, I do not know what you plan to do."
"I plan to make fair on the promise I gave you."
Draco looked at him with wide astonished eyes. He couldn't possibly mean…
"I've already killed your fair mother as she was the one who went to Severus for the help. But your father," Voldemort stroked Luscious' hair. "Your father I saved for you to watch."
Draco widened his eyes even more, "Please, Master, I won't fail you again. I understand the consequences now. I was naïve, I'm sorry. I will never allow someone to do my job again."
"I know you won't," Voldemort smirked and pointed his wand at Luscious. "Avada Kedavra!" A shot of green sparks came out to kill the eldest Malfoy and left Draco with no family.
Draco fought back the tears he felt welling in his eyes. He killed a faithful follower. He doesn't care about anything.
"Now Draco, you know that's not true. I care about me, killing Potter, and followers that obey my orders without failing!" Voldemort burst out. "Now come, I think I found a new use for you."
Draco followed his master out of the dungeon as Mr. Goyle collected Luscious Malfoy's body to bury.
Draco was now standing in the middle of the circle of Death Eaters with Voldemort at his side.
"Draco has been effectively punished," Voldemort rang. "Both his parents have been executed. His new mission his to pretend to go against my orders."
Stirring cloaks bustled around as one Death Eater had the audacity to speak against the Dark Lord's word. "Severus Snape has tried that and failed. What makes you think a boy will change that."
"You are new here, Blake, so I will give you fair warning never to question me again." Voldemort's stare was so bad that each Death Eater that saw it almost stepped back. "Severus succeeded for years. With a little of Snape's guidance and a show of innocence, I do not doubt Draco's chances. We need spies, but more importantly, we need people close to Harry."
Severus let down the hood of his cape and steeped inside the circle to speak, "I have let you down by showing my true self to our enemies, and I promise I will make sure Draco does not make the same mistake."
"Good to know," Voldemort nodded his head. "Now I will leave you to make your cover. Everyone else I want you back to your business. And remember, Draco is supposedly not on our side."
A/N: Ah! I can't wait to see where I bring this. TeeHee. If you want to know where it goes, pretty please read and review!
