A/N This is my very first Fan fiction ever I went back and read a couple of the chapters and realized I really didn't like the format and decided to go back and fix it and change it up just a little bit. I hope who ever had read the original can come back and read this and like it at least a little bit better. Please read and review. Originally written back in 2008. I revised the best I could, correcting what ever mistakes I could find.
Summary: Draco is set a mission from the Dark lord and his father, but what happens when he gets to close to his enemies. Will he go though with the mission or turn away from it.
Disclaimer: I do not own any thing but the plot line of this story. I wish Draco could be mine, but alas he can not. :0(
Chapter One
"I get to sit in this house every day and night wondering what my father is up to, trying to find out where he is going every night and not taking me with him. I do know he goes to see the Dark Lord and I am always wondering what is so interesting about him. Why is everyone so afraid of him for? I was just trying to figure out why my father would rather go see him then spend his time with me or my mother. I do know he thinks I am not worthy to become a Death Eater like him, and it's true. However if that is the path that is chosen for me then I have to be able to prove myself in his presence." Draco Malfoy was saying to him self while sitting in his room, looking out the window, watching his mother down in the garden.
It had been a very long summer for Draco and he wanted it to end, knowing he would soon be going back to school. He walked over to his wardrobe and started taking out clothes to pack, folding them neatly so no creases were showing. Living in this big mansion really taught the boy how to be neat and tidy. His mother taught him how to treat others with respect behind his fathers back. If his father ever learned that he was being taught how to be nice to people he would get whipped and his mother would too.
His father believed in treating everyone that was not a Malfoy as lesser beings, whipping and taunting them to no end.
"Don't show your weaknesses by being nice to others Draco" his father would always say "Treat muggles and Mud-Bloods even worse then other pure bloods you may know, but still treat them all as lesser beings, Malfoy's are superior to all" and he would whip Draco every time just to make sure he would remember and never forget.
"Draco, Darling can u come down here I need to talk to you" called his mother from the foyer.
Draco placed the shirt he was holding in his case and walked to the door. " wonder what mother wants right now, she knows I am packing. If I don't get this done before father comes home I will look like I am stalling and he will whip me for not listening. He would tell me to be ready so I can go to the stupid party tonight, Merlin only knows what the party is for too" he was thinking.
"Yes mother you called" Draco asked.
"Yes darling, how are you coming alone with your packing?" she asked
"Almost done, but I need to get back to it before father comes home." He replied
"I Just wanted to tell you, no matter what you hear or see at this party tonight I want you to know I love you and know what ever may be asked of you make it seem like you have no problems with doing it. I have faith in you and know you will be able to do it, just agree with your father and everything will be fine" She said giving Draco a hug.
"Mother what are you talking about, What task Is father going to ask me to do, and why have a party just to ask me to do this task" Draco looked at his mother with concern in his eyes. He knows that if his father saw this look on his face and not his mother he would of gotten smacked for it.
"Don't worry about that right now Draco, Just go back up stairs and finish your packing and make sure you have it all done and are dressed for the party before your father gets back" She said and with that she turned around to go back out to the garden leaving a very stunned and confused Draco standing watching her leave.
While Draco was finishing up his packing he heard his father walk though the foyer and start up the stairs.
"Wingardium Leviosa" Draco yelled as the rest of his clothes flew into his case and he quickly snapped the locks shut running into the bathroom.
Just then his father walked into his room yelling "DRACO".
"Yes father ill be right out just going to the bathroom" He replied hoping his father would believe him.
"As soon as you are done come down to the foyer the guests will be arriving very soon and I want you to be there before the first one walks though those doors"
"Yes father I will be there in just a minute" Draco said while pulling on his dress jacket and tying his tie.
He looked at him self in the mirror and saw that his ear length blond hair was tasseled all about. He quickly took his wand and did a couple spells to get his hair perfect again. He slowly calmed his breathing, feeling like he was about to pass out due to worry.
Draco pulled him self together before flushing the toilet, to make his father think he was actually going to the bathroom and not just standing there. He finally walked down to the foyer, to where his parents were standing and waiting for him
"Took you long enough to use the loo Draco, Was starting to think you were trying to avoid your own father for a minute" His father said while putting a hand on Draco shoulder squeezing hard.
The pressure his father was painfully placing on his shoulder, was causing him to want to drop to the ground. He knew better then to show weakness, it would only cause him to get a beating later on.
So he stood there gritting his teeth as he replied "No father I would never try to avoid you, I was really using the loo, sorry it to so long for me to come down here."
His mother was standing there starting at Lucius, pleading with her eyes for him to let go of Draco's shoulder. Lucius looked up into Narcissa eyes and squeezed once more on Draco's shoulder. Showing him he better not take that long again in the future and walked away.
"Draco follow me" Lucius said to Draco.
Draco turned around and looked pleadingly into his mothers eyes. His mother looked at him and whispered "go with him" so he listened to her and followed his father into the library.
"Now Draco this in no ordinary party" He said "This is a meeting for the Death Eaters and their family's will be here as a cover to the outside views of the wizard world. That way they don't know what is going on here tonight" Draco nodded to his father showing he understood.
Lucius continued. "I will be taking the Death Eaters down into the dungeons discussing rather important business. I will then come up for a brief moment and summon you to come with me. No matter what you are doing or who you may be chatting with you will come with me. So you NEED to stay in the gathering room all night so I can get you. Do u understand me Draco?" He asked.
Draco looked at him, making sure not to show that he was scared out of his wits to have to follow his father down into the dungeons. He knew full well they could do anything they want to him with out anyone knowing.
"Yes father I understand, stay in the gathering room till you come to get me and do not go anywhere else" Lucius looked at his son very glad that he was listening to him.
"Ok Draco time to go into the gathering room and wait for the guests to arrive. Ill be there in a minute to join you and your mother."
Draco wasn't sure what to think of all this. He walked into the gathering room and stood next to his mother waiting for the guests to arrive. One by one the guests came into the room with their family's. He didn't see anyone he recognized for at least Twenty minutes so he went and sat down.
He was sitting at a corner table with his hands in his head, thinking about everything he wanted to do with his life, but knew he wouldn't be able to because of his father. Draco wanted to become a great Auror one day, Get married to a beautiful witch and have some children of his own. He knew none of that would come true because he didn't know anyone that he liked that would want to be with a death eater.
While he was lost in thought he didn't see a girl walk up to him, a tall girl, with pitch black hair and dark eyes, beautiful to every other guy in the Slytherin house, they all wanted her and she only wanted Draco.
"Hello Draco how are you this evening" The girl said
Draco looked up and rolled his eyes with a little grunt "Hello Pansy I'm fine"
"You don't look to great, would you like to go up to your room for a rest, I could come keep you company?" She asked while putting a hand on Draco's shoulder and one though his silky locks of blond hair.
This made him shiver but not in a good way, for he did not like Pansy, unlike all the other guys in his house. He would rather go into a cage with a dragon then date Pansy.
"No I am fine, I'm going to stay here and see if I know anyone else" Draco replied while brushing her hand off his shoulder and standing up looking around the room.
"Oh ok " she said saddened at this. Just then Draco saw Blaise and walked over to him
"Hey Blaise need to get away from Pansy, what are you doing"
" Hey Draco, just waiting around for this party to end. I hate coming to these things with my father" He said with a laugh
"Yeah I understand. How do you think I feel having the parties at my house, with no where to run and hide, having to entertain people you can't stand" He said in low voice so no one could here what he had to say
"You better watch out or your dad might find out how you really feel about all this and you know how that will end up. I don't want to see anything happen to you, I wouldn't have anyone to hang with at school and antagonize the golden trio with now would I"
At that Draco laughed for the first time since summer began, thinking about going back to school in a day, just to torment the golden trio. He didn't really hate Potter and his friends but they were the enemy of his father and the Dark Lord so he had to show hatred towards them also.
Just when he started having a good time for once his father walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder then walked away.
"See you later Blaise" Draco said as he turned to follow his father down into the dungeons.
He started breathing heavily and tryed to control how scared he was while walking down into the dungeons. He walked around a few corners untill he came to a very big room where everyone stared at him . He had no idea why he was there, but all he wanted to do was turn around and run out. He didn't think there was that many Death Eaters already and he didn't like the sight of them all.
"Draco I need you to come stand over here with me. I need to talk to you about the task we have all discussed for you" Draco walked over to his fathers side and waited for him to speak.
