Fast Forward to December 20th.

Christmas was in the air; it glittered in every pair of eyes you passed. Within an hour the Hogwarts train would arrive and most people would leave for the holidays, including you.

"Jade, are you listening?" Draco asked snapping his fingers in front of your face.

"What?" you ask snapping out of your daydream.

"I asked you if you want to exchange gifts now since we wont see each other over break."

"Oh, yeah, okay."

"What were you thinking?"

"About, you know, why hasn't it happened yet? It's been a few months!"

"Don't worry about it."

"And we still don't know who the second child is, the final battle is approaching fast, Draco, I can feel it."

"You can… feel it?"

"Yes, I don't know how, I just can, of coarse I do excel in Divinations."

"Good point."

"Here." You hand him a small green package that held his Christmas gift.

He tore off the green paper and gasped at what lay inside. You smile at him as he gently plucked it from the box as if he were afraid it would break. "Wow."

"Like it?" You laugh. "Put it on, it won't break!"

He slipped the silver watch onto his wrist. It was a Quidditch wristwatch; the second hand was a snitch and in the background had two seekers flying around. You had gotten it personalized so that one looked like Draco and the other the next team seeker he would play against. The weather of the day of the game would also be shown. Now it showed a nice winter day, Slytherin verses Ravenclaw. That game was scheduled for two weeks after break. "Jade, I love it!"

You laugh again. "More than me?"

"No, nothing can surpass you." He said giving you a kiss. "Turn around."

"Why?"

"I didn't wrap your gift, turn around and close your eyes."

You obey and feel him hook a necklace around your neck, he turned you around and you open your eyes. You look at the necklace. It was a silver chain with a Quaffle on it, he had a hart engraved on the back and your name and his inside the hart. "Draco! I love it!" You throw your arms around his neck and kiss him deeply.

"Settle down you two! The train is here!" said Goyle.

You got onto the train and found a compartment with Draco, his friends and your two best friends, Millicent and Amy. Amy had started to go out with Vincent Crabbe a month before. The boys started a game of exploding snap as you talked to your friends. "Look what Vincent gave me!" Millicent said holding out her hand to show off the Snake bracelet almost identical to the one your father had given you at the beginning of the school year.

"Wow, I wish I had a boyfriend to dote gifts upon me! You're so lucky, Milly!"

"Take a look at what Draco gave me!" your friends gasped.

"That's so sweet! It's like you're his hart's chaser!"

"Well, He's my hart's seeker!" you giggle. "And Vincent is like your hart's beater?"

"E. It doesn't sound as romantic."

"What are you girls giggling about?"

"Oh, nothing much." Amy giggled. "We're just trying to perfect our plan to rid the would of guys."

"Oh, ha-ha. Good one Amy. Don't mind her, she's feeling lonely right now."

You got off the train and said good-bye to your friends, and then you and Draco walked over to where your fathers were talking. Bellatrix was with them, clinging to your father's arm. Bellatrix had always had a crush on your father and it sickened you to see her hanging off him. "Donahue, your lovely daughter has arrived!" she said looking into his eyes with a smile that made your stomach turn with disgust.

"Draco! Jade! Welcome home!"

"Hi Daddy, Mr. Malfoy, Bellatrix."

"We have a surprise for you two." Lucius said.

"What?" asked Draco, looking at you. You both knew what it was.

"Not here, come." You were led to a limo and sat between Draco and Lucius. Bellatrix and your father sat across from you.

"Well?" Draco asked taking a hold of your hand.

"You'll see."

The rid was short and you got out at an old run-down house. "Jade, go with Bellatrix." Your father said as he and Lucius led Draco away.

"Come on you little brat!" Bellatrix hissed dropping her act to impress your father. She led you to a black bathroom.

I really wish you'd top hitting on my father like that."

"You can't keep him all to yourself, you cannot always be his only girl." Bellatrix spat.

"He'll never be yours, if he chooses to take a wife, he'll choose one who is not married, such as yourself!"

Bellatrix shoved you into the bathroom. "Wash up, then put this on and meet me in the other room."

You shower and put on the rich black robes with silver and green trim. You re apply your make-up and brush out your hair.

"About time!" Bellatrix scowled as you joined her.

"I only took ten minuets!"

"Silence!"

You bit your tong as so you wouldn't say anything more to irk her, even though your existence did quite a good job at that. You follow her out of the room and meet back up with Draco, Lucius, and your father. Draco was dressed in similar robes. You silently follow the grownups to a large domed room with a chair in the center, Death Eaters surrounded it in a wide circle and a man with pale, almost white skin and a snake-like face sat in the chair. Your father and Bellatrix abandoned you for their spot in the circle, Lucius bent low to the snake man. "My Lord, my son and Donahue's Daughter, they are ready to take their place."

"You may take your place, Lucius." Voldamort said in his raspy voice that sent a chill down your back. Lucius obeyed. Voldamort motioned for you and Draco to approach him. You reluctantly let your feet move you to him. "Jade." The way he said your name made you flinch and glance at your father. He looked on at you with a blank expression but you could see deep in his eyes he was worried and did not want you to be in this situation, and he could tell you wished the same thing. You bit your lip as you gave him a slight curtsy. "Draco." Draco gave him a hesitant bow. "How am I to know your loyalty?"

"Sir! If you will allow, we will speak for them." Bellona and Monty stepped forward.

"Continue."

"My Lord, Months ago Monty had lost our black book and Jade and Draco found it. They had it for about a week and kept it a secret, sir; they will be loyal to you."

"And they are the children of two of your best Death Eaters, Sir."

"Well, it would seem that you two are favored." Voldamort said taking out his wand. "Is what they say true?"

"Yes, sir." You and Draco mutter in weak voices.

"Good. He grabbed Draco's arm and lifted his sleeve, touching his wand tip to Draco's forearm he muttered a spell. A small Death Eater's mark appeared on his skin. Then Voldamort did the same to you. "Come, I want a word with you two." Voldamort led you into another room. "You are Hogwarts Students, no?"

"Yes sir."

"And are in the same year as Potter?"

"Correct sir." Draco was the only one answering.

"You do not speak much, Miss Jade Griffin."

"I-I do not think I am fit to do so, sir."

"And why not?"

"I am only a half blood, sir."

"I see, well, you are the daughter if Donahue, and," he paused looking at Draco. "Mr. Malfoy, please step outside."

Draco didn't want to leave you alone with Voldamort, but he obeyed. Voldamort turned back to you and put his cold hand on your shoulder, his long pale fingers brushed your neck. You bit your lip to help from screaming. "S-sir?" you choke.

"I myself am a half blood. My father was a muggle. I killed him myself and changed my name so it did not match his. Tom Riddle, not a very evil name, is it?"

You shook your head. "No, sir."

"Your mother, the muggle, she must die, I want you to kill her to prove your loyalty to me."

"I-I cannot do that sir."

"And why not?" anger flared in his snake-like eyes.

You let one of your old smiles escape your lips. "She is already dead, sir, she was killed in a death eater attack months ago." Your smile turned into a smirk as you remembered the fun you had tormenting your half sister about it. You may have changed, but you still did not see your mother as your mother. And you still loved to mess with Hermione's mind. You were still a Slytherin; you just had a few new ethics to live by.

"I see." He was smirking also. "So, you have a Mudblood Half sister, Hermione Grainger, who is friends with Potter?"

"Yes sir."

"I can already tell that you are to be one of my favorites."

"So, Jade," Lucius said in the limo that was taking you home. "What did our Lord Voldamort say to you when he had sent Draco out of the back room?"

"Nothing you should know about, Mr. Malfoy." You said looking out the window.

The car pulled to a stop outside the Malfoy Manor and Lucius got out. "Son?"

"One moment, father. Goodbye Jade, see you after break." Draco leaned over and gave you a kiss. Then he followed his father to the house.

"Well, you and young Malfoy seem to be getting close." Your father said as the car started moving again.

You blush. "Yeah, I guess we are. Y-you are still okay with it, right daddy?"

"Yes."

You flop onto your bed, taking in the familiar atmosphere that you have been away from for so long. The door opened and your father came in and sat on your bed next to you. You sat up and looked at him. He gave a large sigh and took your hand. He lifted the sleeve of your Death Eater robes so your mark was showing. "You didn't want this." He muttered.

"No more than you wanted yours."

He looked at you confused.

"Professor Dumbledore told me that you are a spy for the Order."

"Jade, I was weak, I became a Death Eater to save my own life, then you were born, I didn't want this for you, so I joined the Order."

"You still wish you hadn't been marked."

"Yes, but I am still week, back when Peter Pettigrew joined Voldamort, I was suppose to stop it, stop Voldamort from killing Lilly and James Potter, I failed."

"Daddy,"

"And then I could have saved Sirius Black from time in Azkaban, I knew he was innocent, but I kept my mouth shut! I witnessed that night, I saw Peter turn into a rat and scurry away, I was the only one who could clear Black's name, but I didn't."

"Black isn't a murderer?"

"No."

"So now he's on the run for nothing?"

"No, he's not running, he's dead. Bellatrix killed him last year."

"Bellatrix, daddy, I hate that woman!"

"I know, I do to, but…"

"Then why do you let her hang off you?!" your father said nothing. "Daddy, your not weak, you can do what you have to."

"I am weak, I let Voldamort mark you as one of his followers!"

"Yes, but I have been a small member of the Order for Months now, Dumbledore said if Draco and I get marked, that we would be Spies, like you."

"You and Draco?"

"Yes, Draco's not like his father, he's his own person."
