Walking into his personal chambers, Severus noticed that Harry had taken care of hiding himself away where he could not be seen. Feeling something brush against his shoulder he realized that Harry had cast an invisibility charm on himself and was leaving the room.
Draco walked into Severus's personal chambers hoping that he would be able to get some advice on his future. Draco had a little crush on his head of house but he knew that something was up between Severus and well someone, because whenever Draco watched Snape he was able to tell that he had fallen for someone.
Making himself comfortable on a black leather couch in front a roaring fire Draco watched as Severus poured them both a glass of fine brandy.
"Mr. Malfoy," Severus began to say. "I know that you are here to talk to me about something that is bothering you. I may not tell you what you would like to hear, but I can offer my services to you and trust that anything said in here will not be repeated to any person outside of this room."
Draco looked up at Severus thinking about what the potions master had just offered him, someone to confide in. Gathering up what strength he could muster Draco began to tell Severus what exactly was bothering him.
"Sir," Draco began to say. "I know that you are a Death Eater and I was wondering what you would do if someone that you somewhat looked up to was pressuring you to take the mark but you didn't want to take the mark."
Severus was looking at the young Malfoy trying to think about what the youth had asked him. He personally took the mark at the beginning of his Seventh year at Hogwarts when Lucius Malfoy broke down his own walls of resistance and temptation of becoming the best potions master that the wizarding world had ever seen if he joined forces with the dark Lord. It was a foolish choice that he had made and he still thought about his mistakes everyday, hoping that he would live long enough to see the Dark Lord fall and claim his own life.
"Mr. Malfoy," Severus began choosing his words carefully, "I know that you do not wish to serve the Dark Lord, but we all have our roles to play in this up coming war and we need to choose wisely, but before you decide what you will do, think about what you choose, will be what you have to live with for the rest of your life."
Draco looked at his head of house and nodded his head in understanding. He would choose wisely.
"Thank you sir."
Severus looked up at the young Malfoy; so many expectations were laid upon that young man's shoulders. He hoped that whatever doubt that he had just given Draco about joining the Dark Lord would be strong enough for him to make the right choice.
Standing up slowly Severus led the young man out of his personal chambers and back into the cold drafty hallways that circulated throughout the dungeons while watching Draco make his way back to the Slytherin common rooms. Sighing to himself, Severus went back into his rooms for some much needed rest.
Going back to his dorm, Harry decided that he needed to run through his training so that he would be able to keep up his endurance and work off some of the frustration that he was feeling about the bond that he would be completing tomorrow evening with Severus. So he headed off the room of requirement.
After some light stretches, Harry went through his basic drills of punching and kicking targets and moved on to more complex moves such as his forms or katas. Knowing that curfew would soon come upon him he decided to head back to his dorm for some much needed rest.
Draco sat alone in his dorm. In the Slytherin dorms every person got a room to themselves with a bathroom connecting one other room. Unlike what most people thought of Draco, a spoiled child with everything that he could want, Draco was a scared child because his Father wanted him to join forces in the dark Lords circle.
Draco knew what he would be getting himself into because he had seen what his father had done to many muggles over the summer holiday. It was part of his summer education.
Knowing that he didn't want to partake in the killing of innocent others, Draco knew that if he refused his father he would be hurt or even killed. So doing one of the stupidest things that he had ever done, Draco decided to take the mark and would learn to become a spy to repent for his sins that he would partake of as a Death eater.
Knowing what he had to do; Draco took out two pieces of parchment and wrote two very different letters.
Father,
I have thought about your offer and I am willing to join you in your conquest for a better bread of wizards and I will be happy to meet you and your boss as soon as possible whenever it is convenient for the three of us.
Draco
Folding that letter up and placing several spells on the parchment so that only his father could read it he began to work on the other letter to Dumbledore.
Professor Dumbledore,
I was wondering if it would be possible for us to talk about something that has come up in the family, the sooner the better.
Draco Malfoy
Folding that letter up Draco placed the two letters in his trunk so that he could mail them off when he woke up the next day.
AN: This is a short chapter and I hope you don't get too mad at me for taking a while for this story to move along. The next chapter will be much longer because several things happen that will move everything along nicely.
If you have any ideas about how to write things from Draco's perspective that would be helpful if you could give me little bits of advice.
Thank you to all of the people who reviewed chapter 8:
