Dakota Malfoy POV

I was sitting at the table doing my summer homework from school.

"You do know you have all summer to do that 'Kota? You only got out of school last week."

"Yes Dad, I know, I just wanna get a head start."

"You're just like your mother," he said with a smile

"Where is Mom even, it's Saturday?

"She had an emergency at work early this morning, she said she should be home soon," he said while taking a long sip of coffee

"Oh ok"

I returned to my work for a few minutes until I heard the door open.

"I'm home!"

"Hey, Mom!"
"Hi Dakota, where's your Dad?" she asked while walking into the kitchen.

"He went upstairs to get ready" I responded

"This early"

"He said that he needs more time to get his hair look right"

"That sounds like your father," she said with a sigh

She kissed me on the forehead and went upstairs.

This was kind of odd, Mom and Dad usually never talk in private. Being the nosy person I was, once I heard their bedroom door shut, I ran up the stairs and got an extendible ear from Fred and George's joke shop, from my room and slipped it under the door.

"Draco if you just let me try…"

"Mione it's fine Voldemort is dead. Besides he was the only one who could call us together."

I felt someone breathing on my shoulder and saw my younger siblings Niah and Scorpius listening too.

"I don't want you going to Azkaban for this!"

"I'm not going to Azkaban!"

"Draco, please. For the kids."

"It's only a scar now anyway"

"Well, they can still see it, can't they?"

"I've been working on a few spells and I think I found one that will work."

"Are you sure. How many Death Eaters have you tried this on exactly?"

"Well, I've only practiced on pieces of paper with the dark mark drawn on it, but it still worked."

"But Mione, a human arm is different than a piece of paper!"

"I know that!"

There was silence for a minute and heard a small whisper.

"Morsmordre Evanesco"

"WHAT THE HELL HERMIONE THAT HURT!"

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH"

"WHY?"
"BECAUSE THE KIDS MIGHT HEAR YOU"
"NO THEY DON'T"

Niah was laughing at the irony.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW?"
This was cut off by the doorbell ringing Niah and Scorpius ran to their rooms and I ran to get the door.

"Hey Trixie," I said while my second cousin walked in the door

"Hi, Dakota, I'm here to drop this off to your Dad"

"Oh, ok I'll go run this up to him, you go wait in the living room and I'll be down in a sec,"

"Alright," she said while handing me a package.

Again being the nosy person I was I carefully opened the package and there sat a mask: a Death Eater mask. It was black and shiny with silver markings on the mouth and the cheeks in the inside was the name Draco Malfoy.

"Ahem," said a voice from above me

"Sorry," I said putting the mask back in the box

"DAKOTA NARCISSA MALFOY YOUR BEDROOM NOW!"

I scurried up to my room avoiding my Dad's icy glare.

"Give me the box"

I handed over the box and climbed up the stairs behind him.
I already knew that Dad was a Death Eater, but why did it feel so weird to see his mask? I see Grandpa Lucius' mask when I visit Grandma Narcissa, and I didn't feel weird about it. Maybe it's because I've never actually met him, he's been in Azkaban since before I was born.
