Around 9am Bellatrix and Narcissa were eating brekfast at the table along with Lucious who was keeping quiet, while reading /The Daily Prophet/. The three were soon joined by Amber, Draco and Athena, the youngest Malfoy.
"Did you all sleep well?" Narcissa asked sweetly.
"Yes mother." Draco said casually
Amber breifly nodded even though she was awake until sunrise, thinking about the dark witch sitting in front of her.
"Yes momma, I slept well. How about you aunt Bella, did you sleep well?"
"Hey if it isn't my favorite neice, Thena, come give your favorite aunty a hug." Bellatrix said in her baby voice.
"I would but mom told me not to go to you if you talk like that."
Bellatrix glared a little at her younger sister.
"Don't give me that look Bella, I don't want you to hurt my little baby."
The rest of brekfast carried on with coversation between the three Malfoys and Lestrange with an occasional comment from Amber or Lucious.
"Athena, finish your toast then go upstairs and get ready. I am taking you to Diagon Ally to get a dress for a ball we will be hosting." Narcissa said, drinking her coffee.
"Okay mother, but I'monly staying at the party for a little bit, so nothing fancy." Athena said, nibbling her toast.
"Nonsense, your a Malfoy, you deserve fancy." Narcissa fussed. "Amber, would you like to come with us?"
"Huh?" Amber quickly peeled her eyes off of Bellatrix and looked at Narcissa.
"Would you like to come shopping with Athena and I?"
"Oh no thanks, I have potions homework to do."
Draco raised an eyebrow since Amber was very advanced in potions and had finished all the homework for the year over a month ago. Amber saw Draco about to open his mouth to question her but it snapped shut again when she gave him a sharp kick in the leg.
"Okay, well lets get you ready Athena, and Bella, dont do anything." Narcissa warned before dissapoearing with Athena.
"Well since Cissy left I am going to the library to get some things I left there and maybe read a few of thise dark arts books Lucious has, that is, unless you two want to go have some fun with me." Bellatrix purred, directing her gaze at Amber whos' face flushed.
"Define 'fun'" Amber quoted 'fun' with her fingers.
"Does it really matter when your choices are being stuck in a stuffy old manor all day or having some death eater funwith me dear? And what about you Draco, are you going to man up or be a coward like your father?" she smirked while twirling her wand in her hand.
Amber perked up hearing 'death eater' but Draco knew better than to join them so he made an excuse to leave.
"Seems like your boyfriend is a coward lime his father, now how would you like to meet the dark lord Ember?"
"Really?" Amber was shocked but excited, too excited. Without thinking, she hugged the dark witch but pulled back so fast she practically jumped. "Ah, sorry.." she looked at the floor while rubbing the back of her neck.
Bellatrix's facial expression was unreadable but she didn't look impressed. "Don't do that again and we won't have any problems alright?"
Amber nodded.
"Good, and my dear sister told me alot about you you know. I'm sure he would be pleased to have you join our ranks, all you have to do is prove yourself. Now lets go." she grabbed Amber's hand and they appariated to Voldemort's HQ.
After appariation Amber wobbled uneasily and was a slight shade of green. "Thanks for the warning." she mumbled.
"Now when you are in his presence, bow until he tells you to rise and say yes my lord when he addresses you, do you understand?"
Amber nodded. "Yes Madam Lestrange."
"Good." Bellatrix walked up to the gate and showed the guard on duty her mark and he let Amber and Bellatrix pass by. Bellatrix lead Amber to a door and knocked on it, waiting for a reply.
Amber swallowed hard, realising how nervous she was.
"There is no need to be nervous girl, just remember what I told you and nothing bad will happen to you; just keep quiet until he talks to you."
They heard a sign of approval to go in and they both walked up to a thrown and bowed.
"Good evening my lord, I am sorry if I disturbed you."
Voldemort nodded. "Rise Bellatrix, and you as well girl. Who is this you have brought with you Bella?"
"She is the reason why I am here my lord. I believe she will make a perfect addition to the cause."
"Is that so..tell me your name girl."
"Amber Flame my lord."
"And what is it about you that Bellatrix here thinks makes you worthy to bear my mark Amber Flame?"
"I..uh." Amber looked at Bella for help.
"She is an animagus my lord, a white wolf I believe. My sister tells me she is very smart and excells in potions and defense against the dark arts as well as care of magical creaturers my lord."
"Is this true Amber? And you are an unregistered animagus, yes?"
Amber nodded and blushed slightly. "I am at the top of my class in those three subjects and yes I am unregistered. Only four people know about my animagus form."
"Can they be trusted? I know Bellatrix and Narcissa know, but who else does?"
"Well as you said Madam Lestrange and know and the other two are my boyfriend Draco and my friend Luna Lovegood."
"Lovegood, she is one of Potter's friends is she not? Do you have any relation with Potter?"
Bellatrix gave Amber a look since Narcissa disn't tell her who else knew.
"She isn't very close to Potter my lord, she can be trusted and I hate Potter just as much as the next person to wear your mark."
"I think you are right about this one Bellatrix, come here girl and hold out your left forearm. It is time for you to be marked."
Amber walked forward and saw a smile on Beatrix's face, but it vanished so quickly she thought she might have imagined it. Amber then held out her left arm for Vdemort to brand with the dark mark. As Voldemort traced his wand tip over Amber's pale skin, tracing out the mark the sound of her burning flesh filled the room. She clenched her jaw in pain, trying her best to stay quiet and stealing a glance or two towards Bellatrix.
Bellatrix watched the girl, shocked that she stayed quiet and felt proud of her somewhat.
'Maybe she will mane a good apprentice, somebody I can train and have be almost as powerful as me.' Bellatrix thought to herself.
"Now Bellatrix, I will have you take Amber on her first mission once I give it to you later, for now leave me."
"Yes my lord." Bellatrix and Ambef bowed one more time and apparaited to the foyer back at Malfoy Manor.
