"There is  a way to remove it, but it takes time, and a lot of pain,"  Dumbledore said after they explained the situation to him, "so, I believe that we should do whatever it takes to get rid of the mark, but for now, wear this." 

"This"  was a silver piece of cloth, about the size of the dark mark, similar to Harry's invisibility cloak, but it was more wooly, and much much smaller.  

"What is that?" Draco asked, close to refusing to wear something as mangy as that on his precious wrists, and Hermione rolled her eyes at him. 

"This is a simple disguising cloth, which'll give you all you need to hide the Dark Mark, whilst I brew the necessary potion to get rid of the Dark Mark."

"Okay.  Draco, put the cloth around your hand."  Hermione said

"Won't it fall off?"

"Put it on, I know a spell to prevent that."

"Okay."  he put it on, and it was as if the dark mark had never been there. 

"Adfigo."  He turned his hand upside down, and it stuck there.  

"Brilliant."  Dumbledore said as they exited.  "The brains at such a young age.  Reminds me of myself."

Sirius smirked.

Perfect, he thought, now Emma is all mine.  I doubt that she can resist a love potion.  Tomorrow, I'll administer it.

James was avoiding Tom.

"James!"  He called out.  James thought of replying, but he didn't trust death eaters.  "James!"

"What?!" He said, against his better judgement.

"Nothing, I just heard about what you told Emma."

"Oh yeah?"

"I dunno where you got that from- my left arm has no mark on it."  He showed James. 

"How- how did you know that death eaters get brand on their left arm?  I know because my parents told me."

"I-err- Emma told me."

"Sure(!)"

"It's the truth."

"Listen to me, Felton.  If you do anything, anything at all, to hurt us, then I will kill you myself.   And Emma too."  Tom pushed James up against a wall.

"Do anything to Emma, and you'll regret it.  I mean it.  I will hurt you if you do."

"I'm not afraid of you."

"Well, you should be.  Finite Incanetam."  He said, pointing his wand at his arm.  The cloth fell off, and there lay the DarK Mark.  Tom repeated the spell Hermione had said, after replacing the cloth.  "Tell anyone, and I'll know it was you."

"Does Emma know?" 

"She knows everything about me."

"And she accepts you."

"I've changed from what I was."

"Then why did you threaten me?"

"No-one, and I mean no-one touches Emma."

"I don't trust you."

"Tell someone who cares."

---

"What was that?"  Lily said to Hermione. 

"What?"  She replied, feigning ignorance.  

"First James comes up to us, and tells us that Tom's a death eater, then you disappear.  What's going on?"  

"Nothing."  she said, "I don't know what James saw.  There's nothing on Tom's arms.  He's not a death eater, I would know."

"Oh."

---

Sirius stood in shock after hearing and seeing Tom and James fight. 

Tom was a death Eater?

Then he'd be doing a favour, keeping Emma from him.  

A favour for him and Emma.

Recipe for a love potion?  Natalie read.  He brown eyebrows knitted into a perfect frown. This can't be true, she thought, why did Sirius drop a love potion's recipe on the floor?  The only one who knows how to make a love potion is me, and I know that if you play with the fire of feelings, you are the only one who'll get burnt.
