heartless

Chapter 1

*Grace's POV*

The whispers of the people beneath me have become louder. I look around and then tip toe quietly closer towards the stairs. I reach the stairs and hover to take a look but then I realized I needed to know what was in my house. I took a slight peek hoping it wasn't visible. it was a lot of people but one person stood out.

Voldemort  

And that's when I heard it. The Dark Lord spoke in a low voice; "Roseheart! when will you give your daughter to us?" my father looked a bit concerned but then covered his face with a blank emotion and said; " Soon my Lord, around winter maybe?"

panic rose to my chest. My father giving me to the Darkest wizard of all time?! my breath became fast and the hallway was spinning, but i kept it together. i dared then to take up final peek.

Voldemort wasn't happy to hear that but he turned away and continued taking to some of his followers who I didn't seem familiar. 

My family was always involved with the Dark Lord but i thought father wasn't that close. anyway, my mother was against my father being on his side and so she fought the first battle on the light side and died. i was one and i was just before the disappearance of the Dark Lord kidnapped

i don't remember much to be honest, just that Bellatrix used the Cruciates curse on me on me and i still have a mark from that. no one knows about that and i'd like to keep it that way

i calmed down and then looked at the clock. it was eleven past ten, and tomorrow is first of September. So for the sake of safety and rest i decided to sleep.

~<>~

"Miss Roseheart?" the sound of my house elf Finny woke me up. "good morning Finny, is the breakfast ready?" I asked. "Yes it is Miss. Also your father will escort you today to the train" I stopped what I was doing. father is bringing to the train?! that can't be, that would be the first time, he never even says goodbye! something is up, maybe he is behind it. oh Merlin I hope so not

"Okay thank you Finny" I said before the elf popped away. I put a long green shirt on with black jeans and headed downstairs where surprisingly father was waiting for me. 

"Hello Grace" he spoke. "Hello father" I said. I sat down at the table and begin eating some toast when he started to speak again; "Grace i want you to know something." he began "the Dark Lord is moving in the winter to our house as long as the winter lasts. it is something every inner circle death eater has to do for a period of time." 

I couldn't take another bite. the Dark Lord here?! and why winter, do i have to be 2 weeks of winter break with him in my house? "now I know you are unsure but this is good for us Grace. You might even have a mission!" he said almost smiling. like he didn't care about me at all or what would happen to me.

I hate him

He has no right to do this to me. I got up and went upstairs before I'd say something I would regret. I was boiling with rage but i had to keep it cool because he was bringing me to the station. 

It didn't take long before it was time to go. I held my fathers hand when we dissaperated to the platform 9 3/4. he said a stiff goodbye and I entered the train. I went to our usual compartment and Draco was already there.

"hello Draco" I said while opening the compartments door. "hello Grace, nice summer?" he asked. "sure" I said. I didn't want anyone to know about this. Draco might be my best friend but he probably doesn't care about my problems. and then the compartment door opened again. this time showing Pansy and Blaise. "hey" i said causally "hey Gracy!" Pansy called. I laughed and they both said down.

"Did you hear what happened to Potter this summer?" Draco started. "Yeah, he got with some dementors and got almost expelled." Blaise said hiding his laugh "well great for him huh" I said trying to sound careless but I did.

Potter is the one who can stop this nightmare and I kind of want him to. My father is giving me up for prey for Merlin's sake! maybe he could help-?

No Grace, he hates you remember?

{FLASHBACK}

I was in my second year and I was walking towards the Slytherin common room and as usual i was daydreaming about Potter when I heard some noises.

it was the Golden trio. and it sounded like they were in a argument. I thought I would just turn away and not intrude when they turned to me. they saw me and then Potter faced me

"what are you doing here? did you hear anything?" he said looking with towards me with disgust. "no" I said simply but clearly they belief me. "God always those Slytherins, I hate them!" he said and that did it. I felt the tears coming but I turned away and ran away.

{FLASHBACK END}

"Grace?" Draco called. I snapped back to reality. all of them were doing their own thing and i realized that i needed to do the same

 nope he would never help me.
