His marks will be red.

Were getting close to the best bit and I'm so excited! :) Mrs Malfoy is my creation as she's never mentioned in the books. Enjoy! :D

Severus' POV

The time had come for Remus and I to part for the holidays. We had already exchanged presents for Christmas so we did not have to rely on the owl post to get them to each other. We were currently standing together in the courtyard waiting for his friends to join us down to the station.

'You will be alright won't you?' he asked me softly.

I rested my chin on his head and hummed. He turned to look at me, worriedly.

'I'll be fine love, I'm going to stay with Lucius. I trust him, things will be fine. We'll be back together in no time.'

'I'll miss you' he whispered quietly. My poor sub. I pulled him into my arms and held him tightly. I sent him waves of love and comfort through our bond until I saw him visibly calm. I kissed him gently and smiled as I felt him kiss back. A sudden wolf whistle broke us apart. Remus was breathless and blushing. I smirked at the sight of my beautiful mate.

James and Sirius were laughing as they came up to us. I took Remus' hand as we all walked towards the station. We had already decided that I wouldn't sit with them on the train. It would not do to ignore my fellow Slytherins. They could be dangerous.

I kissed Remus' hand and bade the three goodbye as we reached the scarlet billowing steam engine. I stepped into the corridor and looked for the familiar blonde head. Once I'd found him, in the carriage with the other Slytherin boys I sat by the window. I was idly listening to their chattering, not noticing the smirks Lucius kept throwing my way. I jumped a little as he said my name.

'Pardon?' I asked.

'What do you think of Voldemort's ideals Sev?' He asked me.

I had to be careful here. I knew Malfoys father was a supporter. 'They have merits, I suppose.' I said. Lucius hummed and I tuned him and the others out again.

Once we pulled up in the London station we said farewell to the other boys and I followed Lucius towards the man I knew to be Abraxas Malfoy and his wife Castalia Malfoy. The two of them were tall, with Abraxas being taller by a fraction. Both shared the signature blond locks inherited by their son. Abraxas had cold grey eyes as hard as stone and Castilia's eyes were a pale shade of lilac. Both were incredibly beautiful and they both knew it.

They smiled as they caught sight of us. Abraxas' smile was more forced in public but was there nonetheless. I smiled back as they embraced their son and then Lucius' mother embraced me too.

'It's lovely to have you staying with us Severus dear, I am dreadfully sorry about your mother.' Castilia said in her soft voice.

'Thank you Mrs Malfoy, and thank you for the offer to stay with you.'

'Nonsense dear, it was the least we could do. And please, call me Cassie.' I smiled at her and we climbed into the floo.

'Malfoy Manor' Abraxas called in his deep gruff voice and the manic spinning of the fireplace took all thought from my head.

I had never been any good at floo travel and today was no different. I stumbled out and landed on my hands and knees. I tried my hardest not to throw up as I noticed the Malfoys step elegantly out of the fireplace. Lucius came and helped me up and I smiled gratefully. I looked up towards the painted and grand ceiling. There was a vast crystal chandelier hanging down. Even this room, the floo room, was a vast and grand affair. Malfoy Manor was the biggest place I'd ever been, apart from Hogwarts.

We had a small dinner and then Lucius showed me to my rooms. Abraxas had said that they would have a guest from tomorrow onwards. I had an uneasy feeling. I don't know who this guest is but it feels weird. I fell asleep to my uneasy feeling and a questioning pulse from my mates half of the bond. And if anyone saw my arm searching for something in the night, they would see how much I missed him.
