A few minutes later Stephanie got up and left. As quiet as a mouse. It
took Harry a few seconds to realize she had left.
As Stephanie let herself fall onto her stomach on her bed she shivered. She knew there was someone other than her and the sleeping fifth years in the dorm. Someone who didn't belong there. She heard the person walk to the side of her bed. A long cold finger stroked her cheek. Stephanie turned her head and saw two red eyes in the dark of the room. Stephanie's breathing quickly increased. Voldemort laughed a cold shrill laugh. Stephanie rolled over onto her back. "Scared?" asked Voldemort. Stephanie whimpered as his cold fingers ran through her hair. "You look so much like your mother." Said Voldemort. Before Stephanie could understand what he said he was gone out the window on a broom.
In the morning during breakfast, Dumbledore made an announcement "This year we will have a Christmas Dance. You are allowed to have dates. We will have a dj from USA, but he is a wizard and has agreed to play British music." And with that Dumbledore sat down.
Everyone started talking to eachother about the Christmas Dance, everyone but Stephanie that is. Stephanie just looked up at Harry, but Harry didn't notice her. He was talking to Hermione and Ron about asking Cho-Chang to the Dance. As soon as Cho-Chang's name was mentioned in the conversation, Stephanie looked down at her plate.
The bell rang signaling the beginning of morning classes. Stephanie got up and slowly walked to the dungeons. As soon as she walked in she knew she was in the wrong class. No one, but Snape was in the classroom. "I cancelled classes for today, but I wanted to talk to you." Said Snape. Stephanie bit her bottom lip as she sat down in the back of the dungeon. Snape walked up to her with a smug expression on his face and said, "I know you joined, but I know you had no choice. I saw Avery press his wand into the back of your neck."
FLASHBACK
Stephanie was walking in the corridor after dinner and Draco ran up to her. "It's time," he said. He took Stephanie gently by the arm and guided her to the Dark Forest. They walked deeper and deeper. Past trees and bushes. They came upon a clearing. When they walked into it Stephanie saw Death Eaters in a circle and in the center of the circle was Voldemort. "Finally" he said when he saw the two. He took a step towards Stephanie and Stephanie stepped back some steps, but tripped on an uprooted root and fell on her side. Draco ran up to her and helped her up. Stephanie pushed him away and into a tree. She jumped up and ran back to Hogwarts. "Get her!" screamed Voldemort. Stephanie looked behind her and saw six Death Eaters chasing after her. Suddenly, an arm reached out and grabbed her around the waist. Stephanie fell down from the force that hit her. The Death Eater helped her kindly to her feet. Stephanie looked into the eyes of the mask, but before she could see who it was another Death Eater who was chasing her grabbed her wrists and held them like his hands were handcuffs behind her back. Stephanie was turned around and pushed back to the clearing. When Voldemort saw her again he had a cold expression on his face. Stephanie knew her face had terror and fear written all over it. The Death Eater who had her wrists let go, but pushed Stephanie to her knees. Stephanie looked down at the dirty forest floor, but two of Voldemort's cold fingers raised her chin to look him in the eyes. Stephanie felt a wand dig into the back of her neck. She let Voldemort rolled up the left arm of her robes. His fingers were cold at the touch. Voldemort grabbed Stephanie's left wrist and turned them so her left forearm was exposed. Voldemort raised his wand and mumbled some words. A red ribbon raced out of his wand and took the form of a snake and skull above Stephanie's left form arm. Then it went downward slowly and burned into Stephanie's skin. Stephanie tried to pull her wrist out of Voldemort's grasp, but he just tightened his grip and Stephanie's wrist turned purple. A steam arose up out of the fresh Dark Mark. Voldemort laughed a cold laugh at the look of pain upon Stephanie's face.
