I woke up to a slight pain in my arm and looked down to see the Dark Mark emerging. Jumping out of bed, I quickly got changed into my training outfit, which consisted of a knee length black skirt and tight green tank. Apparating to his location, I bowed, "Good morning my Lord." I stood as Draco appeared next to me and did the same.
The Dark Lord nodded, "Today you to will show me what you have learned this summer." He motioned to the array of weapons. "If you succeed, you may keep them and will receive a mission sooner."
I looked at the table and grabbed two daggers and strapped one to each of my thighs, underneath my skirt. Grabbing a sword, I attached the sheath to my right hip and placed the sword in it. Nodding at the Dark Lord, I went to my spot and waited for Draco. I watched as he attached his dagger to his leg and his sword to his hip. When he got to his spot, we both unsheathed our swords and bowed to each other. Standing straight, I got into my fight position with my sword high. Draco charged and brought his sword from the side. Blocking his attack, I elbowed him in the stomach and watched him stumble back. This time I went on the attack, bringing my sword down on him. He blocked locked out swords together. We each grabbed one of our daggers and began to attack. This went one for several minutes before we heard clapping and stopped. Resheathing both my dagger and sword, I turned and bowed to the Dark Lord.
"Bravo, bravo." Voldemort nodded, "You have proven yourselves, report to Lucious's study at 8 sharp to receive your first mission." He apparated away.
I fell to the floor breathing heavily, "Good fight Draco." He smirked, "Not to bad yourself 'Mione." He held out his hand to help me up and I took it.
"I'm going to take a shower." I kissed his cheek and apparated to my bedroom. Laying my sword and daggers on the bed, I stripped my clothing and headed for the bathroom contemplating what the mission could be.
After a shower, I got changed into a pair of jean capris, white tennis, and a white button up blouse that showed of my midriff. Training all summer has really helped me out. My muscles were toned but not muscular and my stomach was toned. Pulling my now smooth hair, it finally smoothed out after many years of frizz, into a loose pony tail. Nodding at my reflection in the mirror, I exited my room and headed down the hall. I noticed that Mr. Malfoy's office door was slightly ajar. On my way past, I heard him and the Dark Lord talking.
"So there is a prophecy?" Lucious asked.
The Dark Lord nodded, "Two young followers shall show themselves. The will prove their loyalty in the biggest way. Kill all the Dark Lord's opposition, they will. Fall they will and an heir shall be the result. The heir shall apprentice under the Dark Lord only to take his place."
Lucious thought this over, "So my son and Miss Granger shall.."
The Dark Lord nodded, "Yes they shall."
I covered my mouth and ran outside into the garden. Collapsing against the tree in my favorite place, I thought over what I just heard. I would have to produce an heir with Draco. Yes we had become close, but not that close. Also, killing the opposition. That included Potter. Closing my eyes, I felt a presence near and looked to see Draco standing there with his arms crossed. "Now what is it this time?"
I smiled and stood up, "Nothing has happened. I just needed some fresh air. What are you doing out here?"
Draco gave his famous smirk, "I can't walk in my own gardens."
"Quit playing and just tell me." I crossed my arms and raise a brow.
Draco nodded, "The Dark Lord has requires our presence in my father's study. I have come to escort you." He held out his hand for me to take. I chuckled and took his hand. As we walked back to the house, I thought about a life with Daco and realized I wouldn't mind it.
"What are you smiling about?" Draco asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Just how much of the truth I have uncovered this summer. Draco, you have been a good friend." I answered him.
Draco nodded, "I'm glad to have been of service."
We arrived at the office door and knocked. Hearing a stiff come in, Draco opened and held the door open and held it for me. When we entered, we bowed to the Dark Lord.
"Stand my servants. I have a mission for you tonight. If you are successful, I have good news for you both to hear." Voldemort sneered.
We both nodded and I responded, "I would gladly accept the mission my Lord." Draco nodded in agreement.
Voldemort smiled, "Good. You two are to kill a traitor by the name of Lawrence Sasbuger."
We both nodded and this time Draco responded, "It shall be done before midnight my Lord." With that, we were dismissed and sent off to plan.
