Hi! How did you like my prologue? Anyway, here's the first chapter!

19th July 1996

The pain was unbearable. I thought I was going to die. It all happened so fast, I could barely remember what happened.

"Enter," the Dark Lord called from the inside of the dining room.

Lucius and Draco Malfoy walked through the dark doorway to where Voldermort was waiting for them.

"Ah, Draco Lucius Malfoy, how much you have grown! I remember seeing you as a babe once before my absence," Voldermort stood and circled Draco, nodding in approval as he inspected the boy.

"M-master, my son is prepared to join your ranks and serve you my Lord"

He smiled. It was the most horrifying smile ever and Draco shuddered. "Draco, as you know, your father has failed me. I do not take failures very well."

"However, my boy, you can still save your family. You will go on a mission. Complete it successfully and your family's honor will be restored. You may even join my inner circle. Think of that honor! For a boy of your age to be part of My inner circle!" Voldermort chuckles to himself.

Draco knew now, he was going to die. He didn't want to join Him. "What must I do, D-dark Lord?"

"First, you must be initiated." He snapped his fingers together, and all the Death Eaters appeared in the room. "Come now," He took Draco into the middle of the circle the Death Eaters has formed. Draco saw his father standing in their midst, the look on his face, encouraging Draco to just go along with whatever the Dark Lord says.

"Today, we will welcome a new member into our family. The young Malfoy wishes to continue his family's tradition serving me." The Dark Lord paused and then addressed Draco. "Draco Lucius Malfoy, will you look to me as your leader and Lord, giving me your life and will for all the days of your life?"

There was no way, no loophole, for Draco to escape being a Death Eater. He had no choice. "I will be honored to serve you, My Lord." Draco hoped he sounded convincing enough. He forced himself to look pleased and proud.

"Your left arm," Voldermort ordered. He took the boy's arm and pressed his wand on to the skin. Draco watched in fascination as dark inky lines poured out of Voldermort's want onto his skin, twisting into the dark mark. Pain shot up Draco's arm and continued to fill his whole body. He bit down hard on his tongue to hold back a scream. He tasted blood and felt his cheeks wet with tears. The next thing he knew, it was dark.

Continued from the entry above

Mother was at my bedside as I regained my consciousness, crying softly, and apologizing to me. I'm marked. My arm is now tattooed with that horrible mark. Is this just a nightmare? Someone wake me up now. Please.

I was later told of my mission. I'm supposed to assassinate the Headmaster. It is a mission designed to fail, punishing my parents in the process. I'm only 16! I now understand, having me initiated isn't a honor to my family. It is a punishment. I will fail in my attempt to murder the most powerful wizard of all time, and die in the attempt. He might let my parents live, letting them live with the loss of their only son and heir. I can only imagine the anguish and pain of my parents.

Oh Mother, I'm so sorry. I know she never wanted any of this for me. She had always thought Tom Riddle is a mad man and hated my father for joining him. She's going to hate him more now, for dragging me into it. She had refused to speak to him when he came to see me earlier on after my initiation. I wonder where she went now.

I'm going to die. And there are so many things I have not done. I want to graduate Hogwarts with Honors, and be first in the whole level. It is my goal and mission to beat that Mudblood Granger. Filthy blint. I want to play Seeker in my favorite team, Puddlemere United and be the one who leads the team to their glory. I want a family; marry a nice, respectable pure-blood girl (not Pansy. Yuck.) and have children. Maybe even find love. I don't know. I want them all. I'm too young to die.

I've decided to write letters here, one for each of the people I've known in my life. Even Hairy Potty, Weasel Bee and his mudblood girlfriend. My list:

Mother

Father

Professor Dumbledore

Uncle Sev

Blaise

Crabbe and Goyle

Pansy

Nott

Aunt Bellatrix

Aunt Andromeda

Cousin Nymphadora

Harry Potter

Ron Weasley

Hermione Granger

I didn't write in any particular order although I do deem my mother the most important. Haven't thought of what to write to everyone yet. I'll write as I go on. Hopefully I'll manage to write them all before I die.

It's not a long chapter, but my next one is sure to be a really long one! Still working on that :) Till next time! And yes, please review :p
