Always. (A Draco Malfoy Story)

Switching Sides.

I was screaming.

Loud and broken. My voice cracking with every yell.

Someone holding me tight.

My vision blurred with tears.

It turned pitch black as I saw Voldemort standing in front of me, smirking.

My blood boiling with rage.

It was nearing midnight, when I woke up in my bedroom at the estate with Draco cuddling up next to me.

I began to get an uneasy feeling in my stomach, at the same time that my left arm began to burn.

Voldemort was calling me...
It's time.

I shake Draco awake and he jerks up once he saw my facial expression.
I showed him my arm as the ink began to slither against my skin and Draco's face drops.

He looks up to me and grabs my face with both hands, "I love you, always remember that."
He takes the ring chain off of his own neck and places it over my head to hang onto mine.

He pulls me in for a long, intimate kiss before saying, "I'll see you later," allowing me to get ready to see the Dark Lord.

I apparated into the Manor and went straight to the meeting room. I walk in to see a very distressed Voldemort, looking even paler and more sickly than ever, distracted even.
He doesn't even realize that I've arrived.

Narcissa taps my arm from the back of the crowd of Death Eaters and I already knew what she was going to ask me.

"He's safe," I immediately whispers, "Why wasn't he summoned?"

Narcissa shrugs her shoulders but we were both shook by the bellowing voice of Voldemort, "AND WHERE IS JOY?!"

I push through the crowd of Death Eaters and yell back, "I'm here. I'm here. No need to yell."

Voldemort motions for me to join him, "You will help at Hogwarts with Severus and the Carrows. We will be waiting at the outskirts of the school."
I nod confidently, but my heart was pounding with nervousness.

The Trio arrived at Hog's Head Pub, after following the instructions given by Rosie.

"Not an easy task my brother has given ya', amirite?" Aberforth warns Harry.

"I trust him with my life. I will see to it that this gets done." Harry stands tall and Ron and Hermione chow down on some food that Aberforth provided for them.

He then nods to a painting of a girl, as she disappears from the picture frame.

"That's Ariana, isn't it? She's quite beautiful." Hermione mentions.

The girl from the picture frame quickly returned and it seemed like she brought someone with her.

"Neville!" The Trio exclaims.

Neville crouched down at the picture frame swings open, revealing the tunnel that he's mentioned to Rosie.

Harry trails in, "You look like hell!"
