Draco's POV

We stopped at the front doors of the Manor and Snape looked back at me. He just gave me a scowl and knocked once, twice, three times

A minute went past, before someone answered. And I cringed when I saw it was my father. He looked at us both, saw me and sneered

"Welcome, Severus and Draco, come inside"

I followed Snape in, as Father closed the door and lead us to the living room. I sat down away from my father and Snape, crossing my arms over my chest

"Has it been done?" asked Father

"Indeed. I did the job and Dumbledore is dead"

Father sneered and looked over at me. I refused to meet his gaze

"But we lost two Death Eaters and some others have been captured, right?"

"Unfortunately, Lucius"

"Boy, look at me"

Not wanting a beating, I unwillingly looked at him

"Welcome to the Death Eaters. The Dark Lord should be pleased with you, but who knows how the mind of the Dark Lord works"

"What's the next mission he has for me?" I asked snappishly

"Watch your mouth, boy," Father warned

Fuck him; I'm not calling him Father anymore. Well, at least not to his face. He's too much of a fucked up bastard. He hates Mother, pushed me around. If it wasn't for Mother, I think I would be too much like Lucius. No way could I have that. But for now, I had to play a little game. I lowered my eyes

"Sorry, Father"

"So you should be"

"What is the next mission the Dark Lord has for me?" I asked, more politely this time

"Well, since Dumbledore is dead and Harry Potter will be deeply distressed, he'll be easier to kill," stated Lucius, "however, he is not without protection. So, we leave it up to you to break the Golden Trio apart, crush Potter further and set him up for the final round against the Dark Lord, where he will have nothing and will be nothing"

Break up the Golden Trio?

Uh-huh, riiight. Snape will become Minister of Magic, I marry the Mudblood and the Dark Lord becomes the most respected wizard ever. No wait; he is respected, but only by his followers. Something I don't want to be a part of!

"You're telling me, I have to go back to Hogwarts," I said, "if I went back, Potter will take the first chance he got to kill me. And besides, he might not go back to school"

"So find him, track him down. We've got a plan on how to get you to the Order and into their defences so you can break the Golden Trio up"

I sighed and leaned back against the lounge. My life is so fucked

End POV

"That is all, you may go now," said Lucius

Draco left the room, as Lucius and Snape began discussing plans and what to do. As soon as Draco entered his room, he slammed the door shut and kicked the end of his bed. He didn't want any of this anymore. He had wanted to be like his father and follow in his footsteps to be a follower of Voldemort. But now, he didn't want this. He realized what it was all about and felt he was too young for it all. It was Lucius who had pushed him into it. It was Lucius who crushed his dreams, destroyed any hope for a different life after Hogwarts. Noo, he was to a Death Eater, condemned to fall into evil and become a slave to it. But there was no backing out. He had no choice but to do this mission, otherwise his mother would die and if he failed or refused any further, his life would be next

"Like Lucius would care? His reputation, his pride is more important than his own son!"

Draco fell onto his bed, kicked his shoes and laid down, closing his eyes, hoping that all of this was a dream. But when he closed his eyes and slipped into dreams, Dumbledore's words came back again, haunting and teasing him, making him confused, torn between two possibilities: Betray his father and the Dark Lord to join the Order, or face doom at the Ministry of Magic or Voldemort. Either way, he was a dead person

"What to do, what to do? Too many or not enough! Do I fight with or against my father? He never cared about me. Only my mother did. And the only way I can protect her is by doing my father's bidding. Every command he makes I have to carry out. But Dumbledore offered protection for me and my mother! Like that would help, I would be hunted down and killed by my father without a second thought. Aaahh!"

Throughout the night, Draco twisted and turned in his bed, haunted by these thoughts
