Chapter 25:line Marking Ceremony
A few days later Malfoy came out of the hospital with a couple of new scares on his arms,Harry explained why they had to chain him up;It was because he was having a sort of fit he would fight against Dumbeldore,McGonagall,Pomfrey and even Snape.The scars didn't bother him as much what did was the up coming Marking Ceremony.Him and Harry talked all afternoon about ways to prevent the torture of Gabi,In the end they had settled on watching her very closely.It was all they could with out her becoming suspicious,Ron knew about the dream thing as well.
He hadn't exactly told Gabi about the dream,just that it was important that Harry talked to Malfoy about it;Dumbledores orders.She began to question him on what the dream was about,but Ron lied and told her Harry hadn't said anything to him.Ron was telling this all to the both Harry and Malfoy on a Saturday Afternoon,They were sitting in the way back in the Library,Hermione had taken Gabi to Hogsmeade for the day.Ron had the Daily Prophet clutched tightly in his hand,"Look at this"he said giving the paper to both of them.Harry began to read it out loud:
ATTACK ON MUGGLES TELLS US ALL THAT YOU-KNOW-WHO
IS BACK
It has been to quiet,way to quiet.Everyone is wondering What is the dark lord up to?It indeed has been quiet but yesterday afternoon was when silence was broken.Aurors found the Dark Mark hovering above a Muggle home.'It seem to be just a distraction...just to let all know He-who-must-not-be-named has returned and more powerful then ever' says Tonks and Auror who along with a couple more including the ex-Auror Mad Eye Moody came to investigate the house,there said to no deaths just two Muggles a Married couple to be exact,were just stunned.The works were done by non-other then You-Know-Whos loyalist Death Eater:Lucius Malfoy.Who got out of Azkaban just a couple of days after he was put in.They said he arrived home to find his wife dead.Ministry are trying to loc-'
Malfoy had enough,he left without one word to them.Ron gave harry a scared look,Harry was shocked "Harry! did you know that?" asked Ron,He shook his head "Blimey....no wonder he hasn't been so cruel and evil to us.." Harry gave Ron a serious face "His mother was killed....who wouldn't be upset about that...wonder who done it"said Harry,Ron shrugged his shoulders and made a move to follow him,But harry shook his head.
Malfoy walked towards the Slytherin common room,furiously ' Fudge had no reason to announce my mothers death in the paper,And that attack sounds like something my father would do' he thought.He walked up to he portrait and whispered the password (snakes tongue) There were a dew people inside,like Pansy,Crabbe,Goyle,and Blasie all his former friends.He had kept away from them for quite a while and it seemed like they did the same,he rarely talked to them anymore which was good in his case.He needed time alone instead of having 4 idiots tag along and follow you every were for the past 5 years.He walked up to his dorm and slammed the door shut,walking over to the corner of his room,he saw his reflection looking back at him from the window.His hair laid in tuffs on his head,his tie was loose around the neck,his robes were wrinkled as well was his shirt plus it was untucked.' Bloody hell,I look a mess!' He decided to take a cold shower,never warm always cold.He kicked of his shoes which were dirty and covered with dry mud from outside,pulled off his tie,robes,shirt and left them in a heap on the floor.
Walking towards the bathroom with a wash cloth and soap in hand.The bathroom was empty,it was a tall ceiling room with green marble floor, five shower stalls,with green curtain hangings.Malfoy walked to the last one way in the back and turned the tap to cold.He shed all his clothes off and stepped in,the cold water poured down his body reliving him of his stress.He grabbed his washcloth and soap to begin rubbing at his arms and body.Mostly on his arms trying to get rid of his old scars which had become white faded lines, and his new ones which were still red and raw.
It wouldn't go away,they were burned on his flesh looking up at him,teasing him,driving him mad.He rubbed at his skin furiously, it was stinging underneath the washcloth,he kept rubbing until his skin was pink and the scars began to bleed "Shit" he cleaned it up fast and finished his shower.Grabbing his towel he wrapped it around his waist,making his way to the sink.His arms were numb from all the rubbing, it continued to bleed;Little dots of blood were spread all over his arms.He pressed a small piece of cloth on each scratch to make it stop bleeding,He looked up at the mirror and noticed his eyes were gray for he was not clam but angry as heck.He was pale and bags were formed underneath his eyes from the lack of sleep.
He tore away from the mirror and walked into his dorm to find it empty 'As usual' he thought drying off his hair.He dressed in a pair of jeans a long white sleeve shirt and green T-shirt over it. 'All about Slytherin pride' his mind was talking to him again,"Yea right" he mumbled.Pulling on his sneakers he noticed a folded piece of paper on his pillow,he looked around in case the intruder was still around but found no one. He unfolded it and read:
Draco,
You are to meet me at the edge of the Forbidin Forest at 8 o' clock .Dont try to escape this I know what goes on in your mind....
L.M
Malfoy filled with rage,taking up every inch it hasn't reached yet,"Son of a BITCH!"he yelled ripping up the note into tiny little pieces of parchment and letting them free out the window.He watched the wind pick them up and carry them away, he half wished he was there as well. He checked the grandfather clock ,it was 6:30 , he still had some time to wander around until 8.He walked down to the common room,there were a couple of 4th years playing wizards chess and 1st years finishing up some homework.He sat down at a small round table in the corner,staring out the color tinted windows,It was getting darker and darker by the second.Malfoy took a glance up at the clock, 8:00
"Shit!"
Malfoy bolted from his chair and towards the door.Gabi was coming in, when Malfoy ran into her,
"Ow!"
they said and hit the flood hard.Malfoy sat up shaking his head "You ok?"he asked Gabi who was staring at him,"Yea....why are you in such a hurry?"
Malfoy helped her up,trying to come up with an excuse,"I...umm...forgot something, Yea....in potions! Be back later Bye!"he said running out the door and nearly tripping.Gabi stood there confused,one part made her want to go follow him and the other told her to stay put,that he can take care of himself.
Malfoy raced through the corridors up to the entrance doors,he pulled out his wand and looked around.It was all very quiet and still,he made sure not to make a peep.Just as he was to reach over to open the door,some one held their wand against his neck."What the hell?" he said turning around and pointing his wand at the stranger,they had long black cloaks and hoods which were hiding them from view.Malfoy jumped back and was about to shoot a curse when,"Stubefy!"Malfoy was out cold.
When he woke up,he was no longer in Hogwarts but lying down in the middle of the forest in freezing temperatures.He began to shiver,his teeth were clattering.He sat up and looked around over 20 black hooded people stood around him in a circle,Malfoy was sure they were looking down at him.He gulped, "Ah,Mr.Malfoy Jr cared to join us tonight"said a bone chilling voice behind him.Malfoy shook with fear,he didn't dare turn around."You will face me when Iam speaking to you!"said the voice,Malfoy felt invisible hands turn him around,he tried to shut his eye but it was no use he tried to yell; But his vocal cords were apparently not working.
A tall,skinny person or what ever it was stood in front of him,dressed in a long charcoal black cloak, his hood was put high above his head.It reached a pale, bony long fingered hand from underneath clock and pulled the hood off.Malfoy couldn't even let out a gasp.A flat snake like head was visible,instead of pupils it had red slits which glowed,its nose were two slits placed in the middle of its green looking skin.It had a mouth but not much lips,so when he smiled it curled at the ends.Its skin was stretched over its face so tight,it looked like it would tear. Its red eyes landed on Malfoys terrified face. 'Bloody hell, never knew the dark lord would look like this' thought Malfoy."Yes no one ever does expect me to look this way"said Voldemort,its mouth curling at the ends.Malfoy gasped and stared at him with wide eyes."My lord....can we please get on with what we are here for,or Dumbledore will get suspicious"said a cold voice which belonged to Malfoys oh so loving father ( yea right) ,Lucius.
Malfoy trembled even more,he couldn't hold it in,he was freezing and his lips were turning blue he was sure of it."Right,well Draco as you know We have chosen you to be our...Shall I say spy.But first you must become one of us.Please,come forth Draco" said Voldemort beckoning him forward.Malfoy hesitated,Voldemort was getting annoyed "You will come when spoken!" he hissed.With a wave of his wand Malfoy was lifted off the ground and landed in front of Voldemort,standing but not by his own;But by Voldemorts wand.
It was getting harder to breath in the cold air,Malfoy could see his own breath.All the rest were in heavy black cloaks."Lets see where your loyalty lies" hissed Voldemort."Not with you" was what Malfoy managed to mutter out,Hoping Voldemort wouldn't hear but he did.He smacked him hard across the face Malfoy felt his lip burst open,blood poured out."You ungrateful, filthy, piece of trash! If it weren't that we need you I would KILL YOU!"roared Voldemort,Malfoy turned to Lucius who gave him a smirk. 'How can I turn to him for help? after all he put me through' Malfoy was becoming weaker by the intense cold around him,he was getting hypothermia he knew it.
"Awww is little Draco getting cold? well lets just end this shall we?"said Voldemort in a baby voice,the Death Eaters around snickered.Malfoy shivered from head to foot,unable to do nothing,Voldemort came over to him and yanked up his sleeve up.The icy cold air brushed against his bare skin which formed goose-bumps.Malfoy felt something warm trickling down his cheek 'Not again' He felt all eyes dead spot on him,Malfoy wiped away the falling tears as best as he could.Voldemort tried not to notice for he knew why he cried blood.He lifted his wand and pressed the tip against Malfoys forearm."Now,It might hurt a bit....but don't worry..." said Voldemort giving him another sickning smile.Malfoy turned away and shut his eyes tight,All the Death Eaters lowered their heads.
" Morsmordre!"
Pain shot through Malfoy like never before,it felt as if they were cutting him into pieces with hot white knives,tearing at his flesh.His arm was burning,he let out a blood curling scream and felt to the ground out cold.
