A/N: This is an AU of the Half Blood Prince. If you don't like Draco Malfoy then don't read this. And don't forget to review please. They are greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
A fire illuminated a dark room in the abandoned west wing of the house. A slender man sat in a chair facing the red and blue flames. His face was that of which none had ever seen other than in the deepest darkest nightmares. His eyes were no more than slits that glowed as red as the flames in front of him. His nose was also two parallel slits. He held the similar appearance to the snake around his shoulders. He wore black robes and was examining his wand, deep in thought.
To his left stood a man that resembled a rat. He jumped slightly when the Dark Lord spoke his name.
"Let me see your left arm, Wormtail."
The man called Wormtail held out his arm, shakily. Slender hands grasped it and pulled it closer. He pressed his wand to Wormtail's forearm as the man winced in pain. A dark figure appeared. The skull and snake mark burned even sharper still as Lord Voldemort spoke two names into it.

Draco Malfoy was a thin boy of about 16 years. His white hair and grey eyes held their own against his pale skin. He was in his 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was a loyal servant to the Dark Lord. At the moment, though, he was occupied with other things.
A dark haired girl around his age with silver eyes and a pale complexion sat beside him, her head resting on his shoulder. His arm was around her shoulder. Both of them were holding the book they were reading. Not only was this girl beautiful in a way that both she and Draco could be proud of, she was Vivian Riddle, the daughter of Lord Voldemort himself.
Draco sucked in a sharp breath and grabbed his forearm. His partner did the same. They stared at the tattoo-like mark that had been burned into their skin. The girl was the first one to speak.
"It looks like Daddy needs us." Draco looked almost reluctant. "Let's go. We'll come back later and start where we left off." She kissed him on the cheek. Standing up and pulled Draco with her. They both flew off towards the Dark Lord, leaving nothing but a trail of black smoke behind them. In only a few moments, they arrived in the room with Lord Voldemort and Wormtail. Vivian bowed and walked up to her father, leaving Draco kneeling, and kissed him on the cheek. She took her place on his right side. Voldemort nodded to Draco who had looked up. He stood and walked to the Dark Lord.
"I have a mission for you Draco." Voldemort hissed. Draco listened intently. "You will kill Albus Dumbuldore. You will return to Hogwarts for your final time this year and fulfill my orders. Is that understood?" Draco nodded, too startled to speak. Voldemort then turned to his daughter. "You will assist him Vivian." Vivian looked shocked.
"But Father, you need me here. You are not quite strong enough yet." Voldemort glared at his daughter with cold eyes. He spoke something in parseltongue that issued the reaction from Vivian that consisted of her slowly shaking her head with wide frightened eyes. She then nodded and walked back to Draco.
