I'm so sorry about the wait, I truely am... but until recently I've been busy almost every night of the week, and I get piled with English homework so that takes alot of my time for writing. But I was at my cabin this past weekend with nothing to do so I got stuff done.

Fire&Ice
Chapter 3
Welcome to the Death Eaters

DPOV

'Blaise, Theodore and I looked at eachother, never had we all been summoned at random. My 2 friends removed themselves from my bed, and walked out the door, I followed closely behind them and closed my door tightly behind me.'

I followed close behind my 2 bestfriends, the Weasley girl, and my mother through the winding, dark hallways of the Manor.

Along the long walk I was thinking about the girl. She is the youngest child out the biggest blood traitor family in wizarding England. What could she be doing here? Was she playing at something for the order? What will the Dark Lord do to her if she is lying about her intentions?

Well obviously I knew the awnser to the last question. She would be dead before she could think about drawing her wand.

The girl was shaking slightly I noticed. I decided then that I would lie for her if need be.

By this time we had made it to the parlour door. My mother opened the door and the red-headed girl walked in. Blaise, Theodore and I made to follow but my mother closed the door.

"He wants to speak to the girl first. He will call for you when he wants to speak to you as well." I nodded to her and she left swiftly. Long, ice blonde hair swaying behind her.

I walked into the room Narcissa Malfoy brought me to with my head held high, trying to look confident.

Voldemort was sitting at the end of a long table watching me apprehensivly. He had his wand in his hands and was twirling it about, inspecting it carefully.

"Ginny Weasley." His voice sounded snake like, and I cringed internally at the sound. "It has been a long time."

I didn't trust my voice to reply so I just nodded.

"5 years?"

I nodded again.

He pushed off from the table and walked towards me. I kept my face impassive though I wanted to scream and run out the door.

He walked behind me and hissed in my ear. "You've grown up beautifuly."

I didn't move.

"What brings you here girl?"

I cleared my trought. "I came to join you."

He glided into my view again. I held my breath.

"But how do I know you intentions are true? I will find out if your lying dear Ginerva."

I felt him push into my mind and I brought the fight with my family to the front of my mind. He saw me leaving. Then the run in with the snatchers. I thought hard on how I wanted to fight, and how I would find away to fight in the war even if it was against my family. I wanted to get back at my family.

I felt him pull out, and the pressure on my head lifted.

He looked into my eyes and found no hint of a lie.

"Okay young Ginerva. I have one last test for you." The smile on his face grew. I braced myself. "Crucio!"

I fell to the floor in pain. I would not let him get the pleasure of hearing me scream. I writhed on the floor, and when I couldn't help it anymore, I let out a short scream.

He released the spell as I lay panting on the floor. I pushed myself up into a sitting position leaning on my arms and I looked at him. His smile was still there and I sensed something coming.

"Malfoy, Nott, Zabini! You may join us."

I turned to look at the door and the 3 Slytherin boys came into view.

We were waiting outside about 5 minutes in silence only exchanging a few words with eachother.

A short scream broke the silence and we looked at the door and then to eachother.

A snake like voice sounded from the other side of the door. "Malfoy, Nott, Zabini! You may join us."

I looked at my 2 friends one more time and Theo pushed the door open.

I saw the girl panting on the floor, watching us. I looked at her and then to my master.

"Hello gentlemen." The 3 of us nodded at him. "It seems we have a young lady here willing to join us. You know this girl from school, correct?"

"Yes. Shes in Gryffindor. 6th year." Blaise awnsered. She watched us as he spoke.

I chanced a glance at the girl on the floor. Grey met brown for a short second before I looked back to the Dark Lord.

"Malfoy." I met his glance. "Do you think the girl can be trusted?"

I looked again to the red-headed girl on the floor. Her eyes pleaded with mine. I kept my face neutral and looked back into the red eyes of my master.

"The girl is not like the rest of her family. From what I've seen of her at school, she is different than the rest of them." I looked back to the girl on the floor. She looked shocked. I looked back to the Dark Lord. "If she says this is what she wants, I would believe it to be true. The girl definatly speaks her mind."

I looked to the 2 boys beside me and they looked at me then back to Voldemort and nodded.

"Very well." He looked to the girl on the floor. "I put the girl under your care. You can take care of her, teach her, train her." I looked to her and she was looking at her hands.

Voldemort followed my gaze.

"Come here girl. We have one more thing to take care of."

She looked back up from the ground, glanced in my direction, and then to the Dark Lord.

She pushed herself up off the ground and walked towards him with confidence.

"Pull back your sleeve."

She looked terrified, but complied quickly. She showed her white, freackled forearm to the Dark Lord and he pressed his wand to her skin.

A black skull and snake started to appear on her arm and she let out a whimper from the pain I knew it caused. I felt my Dark Mark burn slightly as hers grew darker on her skin. My friends arms twitched in response to the feeling. Now all the Death Eaters knew. Someone new had joined our ranks.

The Dark Lord released her arm. "We are done here." He turned away. "Take the girl, send Narcissa and Lucius to me. "

My 2 friends left ahead of me. The girl followed behind them. My mother and father were waiting just a few paces from the door and I went to speak to them. Blaise, Theo, and Ginny continued on.

"Mother, father. He wants to speak with you." My mother hugged me, and my father nodded. I turned to walk away and my parents went to enter the room we just left.

I walked through the halls of the Manor back to my bedroom where I knew my friends would have lead the girl. I turned the corner to the hall of my bedroom.

My friends were nowhere insight but there was a small red-headed girl sitting on the floor, curled in a ball with her head in her lap.

"You can't let people see you cry here." her head shot up at once and she looked at me in the eye and wiped her face looking confused. "Crying is a sign of weakness. You're a Death Eater now. You can't be weak. If you show remorse, they'll kill you, and they'll kill me to because i vouched for you." I was crouched beside the girl when I had finished speaking an she was looking at me curiously.

I stood up and put my hand out for her. She was slow to grab it but when she did I felt an electric shock jolt through my veins. I shoke the feeling off and pulled the girl to her feet.

She looked at me embarassed. "Thanks Malfoy." Her face flushed when she said it.

"No problem Weasley." I laughed at her embarassment. She wiped her last reminents of tears off her face and looked at me seriously.

"Why did you vouch for me back there anyway?"

"What do you mean?" I looked at the girl confused.

"What you said to the Dark Lord. Why did you help me?"

"I told him the truth. You are different from your family. And even if I don't think you were being entirely truthful about wanting to be here. He would of killed you if I said differently."

"Well, thanks for that. I guess I owe you one."

"Don't worry about it."

I looked at the girl carefully for the first time. She was pretty, that I was sure. Her hair wasn't the same hidious orangy colour like her brothers. It was a deep crimson.

She looked at me confused and then I realised I was staring. I smirked at the girl and walked towards the door that lead to my chambers. I opened widely for the girl and motioned for her to go ahead. She blushed a deep red but complied. I laughed internally at the girls embarassment and closed the door behind me.

It wouldn't be so bad having to train this girl.
