Chapter 1: The Initiation

Draco Malfoy woke up with a start. It is the summer after his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was tangled in his bed sheet and his clothes stuck to him because of his sweat. He had the same dream again, the dream about Darien and Gwenivere. He got up then noticed the clothes at the foot of his bed. Black robes folded neatly and a mask resting on top of it. Then he remembered today was the day of his initiation. His father has prepared him for this day ever since he was born, a day when he will join his father in his ranks within the inner circle of the Death Eaters. Although his is only fifteen, he has tremendous power that the Dark Lord admired. He took a shower and dressed into the Death Eater uniformed his father told him to wear. He looked at himself in the mirror and scowled. He looked so much like his father. I will never be like him the told himself. He hated his father so much, but also loved him at the same time. He heard a knock and turned around. He saw his mother come.

"Draco," She said and then she saw him dressed like the people that have made their lives miserable.

She was shocked at the resemblance of him and his father. Then she quickly went across the room and hugged him. He returned the hug, he could sense that his mother was troubled.

"Draco, don't do this, you can leave this place. My parents will help you and Dumbledore. I cannot lose you to them," She told him

"Mother it is all right. We cannot leave anymore. They are already here, I can feel them near," He told her.

When they heard a knock they separated and composed themselves to be presentable. When Draco said enter, Lucius Malfoy came inside the room. When he saw Draco, he smirked, but when he saw Narcissa, he frowned.

"Draco. It is time. Follow me. Narcissa you are coming with us," Lucius ordered her.

Draco nodded and followed him to the room the initiation will take place. After walking a few minutes, they stopped. They waited outside the door. When he heard enter he lifted his hood and walked inside. It was a dark room. He recognized it as the fencing room. There were swords on hanging on the walls and there were no windows, the only exit was the door they just came through. In the middle of the room was a circle of people dressed in the same attire; black robes with the hoods pulled over their head and a mask. In the middle of the circle was a man with red robes, Draco immediately recognized him as Voldemort. Lucius led him to the middle of the circle. When they got there Lucius got down to his knees and kissed the hems of Voldemort's robes. Draco followed his father's actions. They stayed on their knees until Voldemort said rise.

"Are you ready young Malfoy?" Voldemort asked Draco.

Draco nodded.

Then the Death Eaters started to chant in a foreign language.

Estuans interius

ira vehementi

Estuans interius

ira vehementi

Sors immanis

Et inanis

Sors immanis

Et inanis

They repeated the chant over and over again. Then Voldemort took out his wand and motioned Draco to lift up his sleeve. Draco complied. Voldemort gripped Draco's arm and started to draw the Dark Mark with his wand saying a different chant. Draco felt pain coming from his arm and saw the Dark Mark darkening. Then Draco remembered his promise to a friend long ago and his promise to himself. Then he looked up and recognized one of the Death Eaters in the circle, Professor Snape. Suddenly he pulled his arm out of Voldemort's grip. He stepped back and clutched his arm. Then he felt something oozing out, when he looked he saw blood. The Death Eaters looked furious and drew out their wands, and pointed it at him.

"What is going on here, you said your son was ready Lucius!" Voldemort exclaimed, he was furious. His eyes were burning bright red.

"He is ready my Lord. He knows the procedures; I talked to him yesterday. I made sure he was ready," Lucius explained nervously.

"You did not force him did you," Voldemort paused, "Kill the mother."

"NO!" Draco yelled.

Draco then ran and pushed his way to his mother, but was blocked. He could not get there in time.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Draco watched helplessly as his mother slumped to the ground, lifeless.

He struggled to get to her. He concentrated hard; the Death Eaters in his path flew to the wall and fell. He ran to his mother's body, the remaining Death Eaters were about to curse him, but the Dark Lord stopped them. Voldemort locked the only exit of the room. When Draco got to his mother, he held her body close. He tried to cry but no tears came out. He brought his hand to her eyes and closed them.

"Your son is weak Lucius. I am disappointed."

"I am sorry master. I will punish him."

"Kill him. He will be no use to us. He will rebel."

"Yes master."

Lucius raised his wand towards his son. Then suddenly he was thrown back to the wall and knocked the swords off its hangings. Draco was furious. He sent things flying around the room. Wands were being thrown across the room. Everything was chaotic. The Death Eaters did not know what to do. When Lucius saw his son running towards him, he grabbed the nearest thing, a sword. Then Lucius struck Draco on the face. Luckily for Draco, his eyes were not hit. When Lucius was about to strike him again Draco grabbed the sword; he didn't feel the pain of the sword cutting his hands. He was already feeling the pain of losing a love one. A pain he didn't want to remember. Draco pulled the sword from Lucius' grip. He then turn it around, he gripped the handle and impaled him in the stomach.

"You deserve to die after all the people you killed. If you think that I am going to mourn for you, you are seriously mistaken," Draco told him.

Then he pushed the sword and Lucius fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry," Draco told him.

"Well, you finally killed him," Voldemort told Draco, "There is no way out Draco, I will give you another chance. Join me. You can take your father's place."

"I will never call you master!" Draco told Voldemort.

"Very well."

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort yelled. At the same time Draco raised his right hand and yelled Riflettere Maledire.

A green light filled the room, when it disappeared, Draco Malfoy fell to the ground and Voldemort was still standing.

A/N: So, what do you guys think so far? I kind of think that this chapter sucked, don't you think? This is not the end of Draco. He is one of the main characters; I can't get rid of him yet. Ginny should make an appearance in the next chapter. Until then, please review.
