=^_^= It has been AGES! But I'm finally updating =) Please Review!!!!!!! And Don't forget to check out my other stories! =^_^=


Who was that strange boy who kissed me…? I didn't know which I was angrier about, the fact that he marked me a death eater or the fact that he stole my first kiss. The more I thought about it though, the more it chilled me. Who was he to be able to mark one with the sign of 'The Dark Lord'? More importantly, how did Malfoy know? He said 'So it's true, the Dark Lord marked you within the school's walls.' I mean the last time I checked 'The Dark Lord' was a man…an ugly, pale faced freak with a snake's nose…Oh my Gawd! The snake!

I was vaguely aware of Malfoy leaving the room, when he did I climbed back into the bed unsure of what else to do at the moment. By the time my eyes had shut a burning sensation filled my body, I woke with a start and ripped off the sleave covering the dark mark. The serpent was moving…what did that mean!?!? The pain ceased as soon as it had come and I wiped away the sweat that had formed on my forehead…what was going on with me? The school term had started and I STILL had not stepped into any of my classes, hell I didn't even know what the date was! And here I was having sudden flash fevers, with a snake tattoo that moved, I kept forcing myself to believe it was fake even if Malfoy had confirmed it to be real.

The door opened for the second time that night and I was getting really mad at the fact that no one seemed to care that I got any sleep. "Look Malfoy I told you to go away, if you don't leave now you'll be spending the rest of the year with webbed feet." The steps didn't stop, didn't even pause! I jumped out of the bed to face the blonde boy eye to eye only to find the empty air in my face…with shoes moving at the bottom. "Harry? Oh please tell me that's you!" Once again I got to witness the rare magical item in use, as a hand appeared out of no where pulling off the invisible material, revealing a teenaged boy with glasses and a scar. "Happy to see me?" he stood there, frowning slightly.

I had a very witty line at the ready but was let down when I couldn't say it, "Why was Malfoy in here?" I knew I couldn't help being shocked in the company of wizards, but really? How do they know what you've been through!?!?! First Malfoy with the tattoo and now Harry knew Malfoy had been here? "How did you know he was in here? I'm not even going to bother lying, and you really shouldn't either." He put one hand on the bed and sighed before answering, "Look Marina, it's a long story. But can you please answer why that no good prat was in here? And at this hour!" I lifted an eyebrow at him and then glanced at the clock…oh yeah this was definitely a strange hour. "Look Harry seeing as I haven't had any rest yet, I may as well stay up for the rest of the night...err morning. In other words…I have time to listen." I crossed my arms in defiance and waited to be told how he knew. He rubbed his forehead as if something was bothering him and looked slightly worried; my arm started to heat up at the same moment but I made no move to relieve it, "I was given a map that shows where everyone and everything is within the castle. I had a feeling Malfoy was up to no good when he came to school so I followed him. I saw him go in here a while ago…I was going to come in after to make sure you were ok, but Snape was heading in this direction. I hid until both of them left…I think Snape's in on whatever it is Malfoy's up to, I know it!" I stared at Harry with amazement, oh yeah he really was as great as the legends said. Crazy in the head a little, but to obtain such amazing items…incredible! "Harry…" the next few moments seemed to rush by in an instance. A mysterious and rather large shadow was seen on the walls of the room, my arm began to burn and throb, and I could feel the snake moving on my skin…it was horrible! I heard a thump and saw Harry crash to the floor gripping his forehead in pain. It wasn't long before I joined him, my arm felt like it was on fire, and fires spread quickly. I forget who it was that screamed first, but someone must have heard because before I was shut out from reality again I remembered seeing feet running and our names being yelled out.

"Why is she resisting? She should have embraced the idea of being one of HIS followers by now. Draco! Weren't you going to persuade her? Why haven't you done so yet?!" Voices, voices coming from everywhere.Where am I? Hissing sounds, screams, pain and agony filling the air. "She's awake?" Laughter? I know that laugh…but from where? "Oh she can hear us, can you hear my voice? Mine come from the lips that have touched yours, we are one Marina you can never fight that." Riddle…Riddle… "She…hasn't warmed up to the idea of you yet my Lord. Give Draco some time, he's but a boy after all." Draco…Draco…

"DRACO!" My eyes shot open and I caught a glimpse of the people around me before that scene too vanished. Was that really all a dream? The scene before me now stood still…steady, reality? "Marina! Thank Goodness you're awake!" I was once again back in Madam Pomfrey's lair…I mean…healing room.
