Aires Chapter 2 The Dark Mark

Hermione Granger found herself nearly every day at the Magical Menagerie to see Aires. She couldn't understand why but she was drawn to him. Every time she saw him it was like the stars had come out just for them. Hermione found out little about his home life, in return though he had found a great deal about her-self. She wanted him to meet Harry and Ron, but she didn't know how they would react to her having another guy friend, maybe even something more.

That is the predicament that we find Hermione and Aires in right now. Aires had just called Hermione beautiful and his girl friend in front of Ron and Harry. She was holding her breath how would they react?

Harry was the first. "That's great. I'm glad, you seem really nice."

"Harry!" Ron whispered at Harry as Aires smiled and hugged Hermione close.

"What?" Harry hissed back smiling at the new 'couple'

"Don't you think we should check him out?!" Harry shrugged Ron had never gotten over the fact that Hermione didn't like him the same way, and was now very over protective of her, as he was with his little sister.

"Aires, do you think we could talk to you over there?" Ron asked pointing at an abandoned table at the 'Tasty snacks for Hungry Chaps' restaurant. Hermione nodded encouragingly at Aires to follow her best friends. Then she took the time to go to the ladies room.

Looking to make sure Hermione had gone Ron grabbed Aires by the collar of his robes slamming him into the wall. Aires got a frightened look in his eyes but let it pass as quickly as it came.

"Now listen carefully to what I'm going to say." Ron growled menacingly at Aires, who nodded his head quickly taking a deep breath. "Hermione is crazy about you, we can all see that. But you have to understand that she's like a sister to us and if you hurt her so god help me, you would wish you were at the hands of Death Eaters." Aires smirked inwardly. 'If only you knew.' He thought to himself.

"Show me you left arm." Harry demanded, Aires paled. This would be the end of he and Hermione. Slowly he raised his arm up and pulled the sleeve up closing his eyes and bracing himself for their reaction to his dark mark.

"Good, your clear." Harry said as Aires eyes snapped open, he covered his shock by nodding his head. Aires leaned into the wall as Ron pulled his hands away quickly.

"Not a word of this to Hermione." Ron sneered before walking off. Harry followed putting on a fake smiled and slapped Aires on the back before walking off after Ron. Aires followed them to their table and pulled out a chair for Hermione next to him.

Aries' mind kept wandering to his past. Only 3months before he had been hiding afraid to leave his home, not talking to anyone until his food ran out and he was out of money. Then he met Hermione and his plans on leaving to another country were shattered when he looked into her eyes.

"Aires what do you think? Cannons or United?" Aires shrugged his shoulders. Hermione had told him earlier that if he wanted to win Ron over say the Cannons. And that's what he did Ron was Harry. Harry was mock glaring and Hermione was beaming because Harry and Ron accepted Aires.

The rest of the meal pasted uneventfully. Harry and Ron kept asking a lot of questions that Aires knew Hermione was embarrassed about. They also were telling some not so flattering story's about Hermione in her first years at Hogwarts. They were quiet amusing.

As they were finishing their desert Aires knocked his ice cream dish off the side of the table as his left arm erupted in pain. He clenched his jaw and tried to cover the pain by picking up the shattered pieces of his ice cream bowl.

Harry clutched his scar at the same moment and quickly stood up threw a bunch of galleons on the table and walked off Ron going after him. "Hold on." Hermione called them to a halt. "Aires I'll see you tomorrow alright?" Hermione said quickly as she watched Harry waver on his feet. Aires nodded and gave his girlfriend a quick kiss good bye and walked away the minute they left.

Racing to his flat that Aires rented, he locked the door and put as many charms for locking, silencing and anti appertaining charms as he could think of. Last time he was called he didn't have enough control to refrain from Apparating to Voldemort. It wasn't a pretty meeting. It never was for him. He was always used as the example for new curses to be taught along with a few other muggles who were lucky to die at the end. He was sent home with his father to live through the pain.

Aires stumbled away form the door tripping over a pair of boots as pain again exploded in his arm. He kicked off his black shoes and fell onto his bed clutching his arm. "I won't go." The black haired boy whimpered as the pain subsided for a moment only to be replaced by more pain. It was always worse for him to have the calling and not going because he was so used to not having a choice. He usually was the one that Voldemort would use to summon the rest of the Death Eaters. Usually they would be on special orders and take extra long to get there so he would have to deal with more pain. It hurt five times worse than it would originally hurt for a common Death Eater. Since he was used so many times the pain only manifested as he got older. Becoming almost unbearable to deal with if he did not go to the Dark lord. "No! You can't make me!" Aires screamed at the top of his lungs; it felt as if his voice was going to be ripped out.

Pulling a silver knife our from under his pillow. Aires cut into the dark mark and scrambled back as the dark magic cloud formed around where he was just sitting. He scrambled to his bathroom and fell fully clothed into his soft tiled shower stall. He turned the water on as hot as he could make it and huddled in the corner of his square shower. The water followed him where ever he moved. Protecting him from the dark cloud that was forming over his bed and his dagger. The dark hated anything that made things grow and water was on the top thing that it hated more than Harry Potter. The water soothed his pain a little, it gave him something to focus on. He loved the water it was the only thing that wouldn't hurt him unless he wanted it to. Aires Black Lestrange started to cry as more pain erupted from the dark mark.
