Important: There is rape in this chapter, not too graphic, but still described. If you are uncomfortable with that please skim the chapter. Thanks!!
Tonight was the night, the night that would change Draco's life forever. Tonight was the night that he was going to meet the Dark Lord and get the mark, the mark of terror and destruction the mark of which all pain was focused around. Tonight was the night that would haunt Draco for the rest of his life.
Dumbledore had told Draco to talk to Snape. Draco had listened to what the headmaster had to say but in the end decided that if he really wanted help, then he would go to Snape, but not before he was marked.
His father had sent him a letter telling him to only bring his wand and nothing more.
While the school was at the Halloween party that Dumbledore some how planned, he would be going outside to the gates of Hogwarts and then the portkey would active, taking him to the Dark Lord.
Dressing in all black robes that swirled around his ankles, Draco looked in the mirror. He was scared. He was afraid to go in front of the Dark Lord tonight and prove his loyalty.
Looking back at him was a haughty young Malfoy that would do anything to get power. The mirror showed Draco his perfect mask that he had put up to protect his true emotions from showing. He was ready.
Leaving the school at 11:45 Draco made his way down to the front gates and just out past the wards so that he would not set anything that Dumbledore had put up off.
Standing there waiting until he heard the school bells chime midnight Draco waited for the portkey to activate. As the last bell chimed Draco felt the familiar tug at his navel and felt himself being transported away to a secure location.
Landing with as much grace as a Malfoy could, which was actually not much, Draco looked up to see where he was and was surprised to see that he was at his home: Malfoy Manor
"Good evening Draco."
Draco turned to see who was talking to him and saw his father standing there waiting to take him up to the manor to see the Dark Lord.
"Father," Draco said bowing his head in a sign of respect.
Lucius said nothing as he turned towards the manor walking swiftly not caring if his son fell behind.
Draco followed his father to the manor and down a series of passage ways that he had never even seen before trying to remember how to get in and out of this part of the manor.
Lost in his own thoughts, Draco suddenly came to a halt before a plain looking door.
"Whatever may happen in here," Lucius said while putting his death eater mask on, "I am proud of you to finally join us."
Draco said nothing but watched in anticipation as the door opened to reveal what looked like a throne room. As he entered he saw that the death eaters were lined up in two lines on either side of the room from what he guessed according to rank. As he walked forwards towards the throne that he noticed the Dark Lord sitting in watching him very carefully.
Draco bowed his head to show that he was at the Dark Lord's mercy kneeled in the center of the room waiting for his next instructions.
Looking down from his throne, the Dark Lord watched as the young Malfoy knelt in front of him waiting, the young boy seemed so eager to join him in his conquest.
"Rise young Malfoy," the Dark Lord commanded. "Look up into my eyes."
As Draco rose at the sound of the Dark Lord's commands he made sure that his mask was in place ready to show his father what the Malfoy name truly meant, submission. Looking into those blood red eyes Draco felt himself being searched for any doubts about what he was going to be doing tonight. He was ready to face whatever would come.
Seeing that Draco was intent on joining him, the Dark Lord ushered forth a Death Eater.
"Wormtail I would like you to get me the woman that we have in the dungeons," the Dark Lord commanded. "Draco when one of my loyal death eaters returns with a victim I would like you to torture in the worst way possible."
Draco nodded his head and bowed to show the Dark Lord that he would do whatever he had commanded without question.
Wormtail returned to the throne room with a stunned woman being levitated behind him. Dropping the woman to the ground in front of Draco, Wormtail returned to his place in the two lines of death eaters.
"You may begin when you are ready."
Draco stood up and revived the woman in front of him with a simple wave of his wand getting ready to torture her.
"Crudus," Draco said trying not to flinch when the woman cried out in pain. She would slowly bleed to death from the inside out.
The death eaters laughed at the woman and Draco knew if he wanted to be a higher ranked death eater he would have to do something he never wanted to do. Rape a person.
Muttering a spell to make himself hard, Draco tore off the woman's clothing and without any warning he thrusted himself into the woman while she screamed out from the pain of being raped and bleeding to death. Draco soon climaxed mixing his seed with her blood and withdrew from the woman leaving her sobbing on the ground while he composed himself again.
While being cheered on by the other death eaters Draco quickly cast the Cruciatus curse on the woman feeling sick to his stomach as he did so hearing the woman's screams.
"Enough," the Dark Lord commanded very pleased with what the young Malfoy had just done. "You have proven yourself beyond what some of my followers have ever done, I am very pleased."
Draco kneeled in front of the Dark Lord and said, "You wish is my command, master."
"Do you see this," the Dark Lord shouted at his death eaters that were now silent. "This is what you call loyalty. Lucius come here."
Lucius walked up the Dark Lord's side and waited for his orders. He was proud of what Draco had just done. He had upheld the Malfoy name.
"You have trained your son well Lucius. You shall be rewarded."
"Thank you my lord," Lucius said bowing.
"Young Malfoy," the Dark Lord began. "You have pleased me and I shall reward you by granting the mark. Step forward."
Draco did as he was told.
The Dark Lord stood up from the chair that he was sitting in and walked towards Draco looking at the young man waiting to be marked. The Dark Lord pushed up the sleeve of Draco's black robes and started to mutter the beginning of the marking spell.
Draco tried not to wince in pain as the dark mark was being burned onto his left fore arm marking him as a death eater.
The Dark Lord added something different to the mark. He outlined the mark in gold making Draco one of the highest ranking death eaters.
The marking was done and the Dark Lord dismissed all of his other followers except Draco.
"Follow me young Malfoy."
Draco got up from his kneeling position on the floor wincing in pain at the mark now on his arm. Following the Dark Lord into another chamber next to the throne room the Dark lord sat down and motioned for Draco to do the same.
"What is your first name?"
"Draco my lord."
"Draco, that is a very nice name," the Dark Lord commented to himself. "I would like to thank you for joining me and I would give you a proper welcome, but unfortunately you have to go back to Hogwarts before it is noticeable that you are gone. But before you leave I would like you to keep writing to me in this book that I will give you about what is happening at the school. You are going to be my source of information at Hogwarts."
Draco bowed his head in acknowledgement as the Dark Lord gave him a small book that looked very old.
"That is all that I would like you to do. You may go now."
Draco stood up and bowed to the Dark Lord as he made his way back to the part of the Malfoy manor grounds where there were no wards and felt a tug behind his navel.
Looking up from where he landed he saw that the portkey that he had brought him back to Hogwarts. Knowing that the Halloween party had been over for a while, Draco made his way swiftly back to his dormitory where he could think about everything that had just happened.
The morning came too soon for Draco. He woke up feeling very stiff and sore trying to forget what he had done last night.
Pulling his left sleeve up Draco looked down at the mark that was now burned in his arm. Looking up at the clock that read 7:45, Draco got out his bed and went into the shower to let his emotions wash away in warm water.
Luckily it was the weekend and this gave Draco sometime to think about what he was going to do. He wanted to talk to Dumbledore about spying but he really didn't want to deal with the somewhat crazy headmaster.
After what had seemed for ever Draco made his way up to the headmaster's office lost in his own thoughts.
"Lemon Drops," Draco mumbled to the stone gargoyle and watched as it moved aside letting him go up the spiral staircase to the headmaster's office.
"Severus I will not tolerate you sulking in your rooms."
"Headmaster with all due respect I don't think that you have a right to know what is going on between Harry and myself."
Wasn't Harry dead? Draco shook himself out of his thoughts.
"I don't care who Harry is on the outside as long as he will leave me alone."
"Severus please try and be reasonable, if Harry is going to be a student here he needs to act a student and not completely associate himself with you. He is a grown man."
"I don't care what you have to say headmaster. Good day."
The door to the headmaster's office open to let a flustered Severus Snape out and down the staircase.
"Please come in Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore said his eyes with his usual twinkle. "Would you care for a lemon drop?"
"No thank you sir."
"Please have a seat," Dumbledore said while popping a lemon drop in his mouth. "Is there anything that I can help you with?"
"Sir, I was marked last night and I was hoping that I could spy for you."
"Well I will let you spy for the light, but you will need to prove your loyalties before I can fully trust you."
"Well I will be willing to do that sir."
"Have you seen Professor Snape yet?"
"No."
"I will not talk to you about spying until you have seen him and ask him about his days as a death eater."
Draco said nothing knowing that he was now being dismissed from his meeting with the headmaster.
Deciding to forgo breakfast so that Draco could speak to his head of house he began the long trek back down to the dungeons.
Finding the door to Professor Snape's Personal quarters, Draco knocked on the door waiting.
"Who is it?"
"Draco Malfoy sir."
Severus opened the door and let the young Malfoy into his personal chambers. After they both made themselves comfortable on the black leather chairs that Severus had in his living room Severus waited for Malfoy to begin the conversation.
"Sir, Dumbledore sent me down here to talk to you about spying for the light."
"Don't do it."
"Sir, I was marked last night. I know I want to spy."
"Spy for how long? The rest of the year? You know that you will have no protection from the dark Lord after you graduate unless you want to spend all of your time in Hogwarts with sometimes nothing to do. Even during the summer?"
Draco bowed his head in shame. He has thought about what would happen if he didn't join the Dark Lord and his father would probably kill him. But even if he joined the Dark Lord he would still have to kill people which somehow made him feel really sick.
No matter what Draco would choose he would have to suffer one way or another because of what his family was and what he was expected to do.
"Please go see Alexander," Severus said quietly. "Even though he is a Gryffindor, he can help you far better than I can."
"Yes sir," Draco said and stood up. He left his head of house sitting in a chair with his head in his hands.
Draco went up to the great hall to have a bite to eat before he would try and find Alexander. He knew that the new student was top of his class, he even seemed smarted than that Granger girl.
After he ate Draco went into the library to look up books about spying to see if any of those books would help him at all.
Harry was up early and training in the room of requirement. It had almost been a month since Severus told him to get out and his bonded wouldn't even approach him.
After showering and eating Harry went into the library to do his homework for the weekend so that he would have Hermione nagging him to do his homework.
Draco saw Alexander enter the library and sit down at a desk in a corner that was barely used. Deciding that it was now or never to get help, Draco approached the Gryffindor.
AN: For almost all of this week I have just been writing and writing because I really got hit with a sudden wave if inspiration. I would like to thank you all for helping me make that happen.
I would like to thank a few people that have really helped me with this story because they have helped me to bring my writing to another level of writing which has helped this story to get better and better.
Katie Lupin Black: You have given me comments that have helped me carry on with the story when I was going to stop. You helped me to continue. Thank you.
Athenakitty: even though you just leave questions, you help me to answer those questions in my writing, which makes everything clear to understand.
Gryvon: Even though you have just reviewed a little bit of my story the grammatical stuff that you have pointed out to me has helped me look at everything as a whole and help to fix my mistakes.
Cherrychika101: Even though you are one of my best friends, your offer to be my beta is so exciting for me because all of the chapters that I have put up come from my head to the computer and them online with almost no proof reading, which I should probably do.
To everyone who has been reading: Thank you so much for leaving me feed back which has helped me to look at this story and another one that I am working on to make them so much better that what I could do. I hope that you leave me even more reviews to help keep me going when I feel not as creative as I have been feeling this past week.
