Chapter 3

That night Draco couldn't sleep all he kept thinking about Ruth, why did The Dark Lord want her to come live with Lucius and furthermore what would his mother think of all of this? He was also thinking of the day in which he had made his father happy and of the night in which he was moments from losing it all.

FLASHBACK

"Do you, Draco Malfoy, pledge allegiance to Voldemort to his wisdom and to his mercy until your last breath?"

"Yes" He answered.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his right hand it went intensely hot.

"Now you may go."

And so he did. He apparated back to the Forbidden Forest, where he found his invisibility cloak. He felt he didn't need his cloak anymore when he reached Hogwarts since he was a prefect and he could always have the excuse of checking the perimeter but he was taken aback all of the sudden.

"Malfoy! What are you ding out of your dormitory?" She asked.

"The same thing you are Granger" he answered coldly.

"I was looking for you all day" she said in a motherly tone

"I know" He said with a huge smirk

Where were you?"she asked madly.

"I can't tell you."

With that he grabbed her hands and pushed her to the wall and kissed her, but to his surprise she didn't resist.

"So you're not mad at me anymore?" He asked teasingly

"Well a little."

"Lets go somewhere else." he said grabbing her by her hand.

"Okay" She said happily

Then they went to and empty classroom when all of the sudden she stopped because she saw the mark that had hunted her since fourth year.

"Why did you do it?" she said as tears filled her eyes.

"Why wouldn't I."

"Am I a game to you?" She cried

He couldn't answer because the response even shocked him he had sworn to himself she was just a fling a pastime but she was more than that. He couldn't tell her he would be dead if he did, even she would be dead if he found out.

He always regretted that day. He should've explained the mark. He should've said his father was proud of him for the first time in his life .He should've said anything to make her feel better but he didn't.

On the other wing of the Manor was a very sad and desperate teen, Ruth had witnessed the execution of her mother for helping a mudblood go into hiding from The Dark Lord.

FLASHBACK

"Mom!" she yelled.

"Oh…no", her mother whispered as she looked out the window.

"Mom you're scaring me, what's wrong?"

"Ruth where is Manuel?" she asked.

"You mean the egocentric moron, he…he…went…out."

"No!" Yelled her mother," how could you let him go? When did he leave?"

"Mom he left hours ago there is no way they could've found him", she cried.

With that a large thud opened the door a fat short man who looked a lot like a rat walked

In with several men behind him.

"Eleonor where is Manuel?" He shouted at her.

"I'll never tell you!"

"So you prefer to die for the low life? I never thought I'll see the day in which you would be a hero and for what, a filthy mudblood!" After that all Ruth could remember was her mother dead on the floor.

Ruth had been devastated she didn't dare to speak of Manuel since her mother died protecting him. Now she was living with her father the man who had her mother killed. All she could do was cry; cry for her mother and for herself. All she could hope was for Manuel to be alive.
