I followed dad over to the meeting table where mum was sitting.

"Sit!" he commanded.

Knowing not to be disrespectful, I obeyed.

'He's treating me like a dog.'

"This is where we meet when I call a meeting," dad explained.

"I have a question, don't you guys have a manservant or something?"

"Yes, we do, WORMTAIL!" called dad.

"Y-y-yes my lord," responded a fat guy with a metal hand, long front teeth, Trump hair, and old, brown clothes.

"This is Wormtail, he's our manservant," explained mum.

"Does he have a Dark Mark? 'Cause if he does and I don't, that would just be embarrassing," I said.

"Yes he does," said dad.

"But he's to pathetic, he doesn't deserve this honor," I complained.

"You want a Dark Mark, right?" asked dad.

"Yes, sir," I said respectfully.

"You will have to earn it," said dad annoyed.

"Ok,"

I'm going to have fun with Wormtail.

"Wormtail! Give us some drinks!" I ordered.

Wormtail nodded and left to give us some drinks.

When he came back, I yelled, "no, I want a butterbeer!"

Frightened, Wormtail nodded and stalked to give me some butterbeer.

My parents stared at me.

"What?" I asked, "I never had butterbeer before."

My parents looked away.

"Did you make any friends?" asked mum.

I wanted to say Fred and George, but I knew I'd get the Cruciatus Curse again so I said, "Only Draco and the Slytherins because I'm spending most of my time in Snape's quarters. Why do I have to stay there?" I complained.

"It's for the best," said mum.

"Do you hang out with any mudbloods and blood traitors?" asked dad.

"No," I lied.

"Good because if you do, there is no way you would get a Dark Mark, and we won't call you our daughter anymore."

I gulped.

"Nagini! Come here," whispered dad in parseltongue.

Nagini slithered in the room.

"Since you're related to me, Nagini will understand and do as you say," said dad.

I nodded.

"My Lord, shall we call a meeting?" asked mum hopefully.

"Yes Bella, we should," replied dad.

"Wait!" I stopped.

"What is it?" mum asked.

I pulled both of them into a tight hug.

"I'm glad I'm with you!"

Mum just kissed my head. We pulled apart and dad pressed his Dark Mark and the Death Eaters, and Draco, arrived right away. Dad sat in the middle of the long table, mum sat next to him, then me, then Draco, then Aunt Cissy, then Uncle Lucius, then a whole bunch of Death Eaters I don't recognize.
