I bustled my way back through the corridors, my vision in a complete blur from the streams of tears I couldn't hold back. My under eyes were stinging from the rough material of my jumper continuously wiping away the sadness pouring out of me.

I raced myself down as fast I could, not even knowing if what I was doing was right or wrong. I was putting my life in the hands of someone I didn't know, someone that the only thing I knew for definite is that they were a death eater. Just the words made me feel sick to my stomach.

My heart so heavy in my chest with the images of Draco's face spiralling through my mind.

"Come on, we don't have much time"

"I-I can't do this, I can't...I can't leave him. I don't want to, I can't" I held on to my chest, the burning in my lungs was excruciating.

"You have to. Draco will only put you at danger." She stepped closer to me.

"He would never hurt me, he would never put me in any danger!" The tears stinging as they ran down my cheek.

"He wouldn't know he was doing it, he has no idea what's coming. What he has to do." The worry flooded her face which sent a flee of nerves to my stomach. "Just please listen to me and come with me. We can figure all this out once you are safe. Once Draco understands."

"Can you promise me that, that Draco will be with me soon."

"I promise."

I reached my hand to her and the instant her skin touched mine we were spiralling, twisting and turning. I felt the impact of the floor but my eyes still closed.

"You're ok, you're safe"

I opened my eyes to a place I'd never seen, like a castle or a mansion. Incredibly dark and eery. The ceilings were so high and carved with artwork just like Hogwarts but looking around this place was nothing like Hogwarts.

"Where are we?" My voice cracked as I spoke.

"Home, my home. Go upstairs and stay there until I come I need to check something" she pointed towards the staircase before darting off in the other direction.

I trailed my hand along the smooth walnut staircase, taking in the art work as I did. This was Draco's house, sure I had imagined being here in different circumstances but I somehow felt closer to him. I reached the top of the staircase to be greeted by door upon door, this house must be huge. Each door identical to the other except for one, on one door hung three baby blue letters. DLM. Draco Lucius Malfoy. I walked towards the door slowly and as I did I saw little drawings on each letter. Brooms, wands and little tiny gold stars across each one.

I struggled to imagine a child growing up in this house, it was full of darkness that I'd never seen. I held onto the door knob and twisted slightly to open the door, I knew fine well this was not what Narcissa meant when she said go upstairs and I had no place snooping through their house but it was him.

The room was lined with books, never had I seen a bookcase so big in my life even at Hogwarts. A large window looked out to the landscape around me, so truly beautiful even though it was deathly quiet.

"You know he's never introduced any girl to us before, it might sound like nothing to you but I know how Draco works. He must really care about you." She leant slightly on the doorway. "Sometimes I question myself as a mother, bringing a child into all of this but he never questioned me. He knew he was different, that he isn't like his father" she took a deep breath "But sadly that doesn't matter in the eyes of the Dark Lord."

"He'll be one of you, won't he?" A question that haunted me yet I already knew the answer.

"Yes. Each one of us knows that when we enter this life. That any child we may bear has to be one of us, except in the case of a rebellion towards the Dark Lord." I watched the pain in her eyes. "That's why I have to keep you away from here, so you don't end up like us...like your mother"

"That's why I'm here? To keep me away from..the Dark Lord."

"Yes."

"But I can't walk away from Draco like that, you- you don't understand! I would give anything up to make sure he's ok! To make sure he's safe!" The pain in my chest grew again.

"I will always keep him safe Ivy, but I know the path I chose for him even if I regret it now but I refuse to let you be the same. I owe Arcadia that."

The overwhelming pain took over my body once more. "But I can! I will! I don't care anymore! I have nothing else Narcissa, I have no one except for him. I can't loose him. Please..please don't make me" even though I felt I had no tears left in me they came as quick as before.

"You don't understand Ivy. This isn't you. It made your mother a person I didn't know."

"YES IT IS! Yes..it is. I don't care about my age, I don't care about the consequences! Draco means more to me than anything on this earth and the thought of not being with him...it...it kills me. God when he finds out about all of this, he'll need me! Please don't make me."

"Lucius will be home soon, we need to go." As she began to turn around I heard the slam of a door. Narcissa turned to me in panic, her eyes looked like they could burst out her face.

Whoever was here was not meant to be and by the look on her face we were in deep, deep trouble.
