We went to the Malfoy Manor for a meeting, mostly all of the men we're supposed to go. We were greeted by Narcissa, who let us in. Fiona was not far behind. My father pulls her to the side.

"Take care of her." She nods to him.

"Of course." She took me to the kitchen and saw me. She closed the door behind her. "Come here." I went to her arms. She shushes me, rubbing my back. "You alright? She didn't hurt you?" She looks back at me.

"No, im fine." I shook. The door opens and we saw Fiona walked in. I was still in Narcissa's arms.

"Let go of my daughter will you Narcissa." She growls. I slowly let her go and took a step back. Fiona walks around the kitchen, picking at the fruit. "You let her hug you but not me?"

"She's a lot kinder than you." I mumbled. "Narcissa, do you need help?" I helped her with putting away the plates and silverware. I felt Fionas eyes burn into my soul. Bellatrix had just came in, slouching on a chair, angry that they didn't let her go into the meeting.

"You know, if we spend anymore time sitting on our asses the boy will get away and grow stronger." Bellatrix hissed.

"Now that we have Daphne, that's not going to happen." Fiona walks up to me, putting her hands on my shoulders. I tried to shrug her off but she dig her nails into my shoulder. "She can help us find him, right sweetheart?"

"Sure." I lied as I walked away from her, now sitting across from Bellatrix.

"Draco is a big help in this too. He was the chosen one."

"No offense Narcissa, but Draco couldn't even kill Dumbledore. I know Daphne would if the lord gave her that task." I wouldn't even do it. She was just spitting things out of her mouth. Just to make her look good. "Since the day she was born, i know she will fulfill everything." I rolled my eyes. Full of shit.

"Fulfill what you want or?" Bellatrix chuckles. I looked at my nails, ignoring the stare she was giving me.

"Is Draco like this?" She asks Narcissa. She couldn't say anything. "How was he growing up?"

"Maybe if you stuck around you would know." I sat up straight. "Oh wait, you didn't."

"He has his temper time to time." She was trying to change the subject. "But when he met Daphne, he gotten better."

"I like her." Bellatrix looks at me.

"Don't like me too much, or you'll pull a Fiona. But you wont leave me, right?" Fiona was getting angry. Oops. If looks could kill. We stared at each other. "Continue please, sorry I interrupted." Fiona coughs.

"When Daphne was little, I was always by her side. I didn't even want to put her down." I snorted at her comment. Shes full of shit. "I knew that she would turn into a little Severus, you know?" I stood up, looking at Fiona.

"You keep blabbering about how you know me and you were there for me." I walked towards her. She straighten her back. "That's bizarre considering you were gone for what? 99 percent of it?" The room shifted. You can sense the bad energy. The room stayed quiet, surprisingly, Bellatrix can managed to stay like that.

"Im your mother." Thats all she said.

"That doesn't make up the last 17 years." She bit the inside of her cheek. "If you are looking for me to forgive you and call you my mother, you can forget about it."

"You think my saint of a sister loved you? She had no other choice but to take care of you." She was talking bad about Katherine. I clenched my fists. "I bet every time she looks at you is a spitting image of me, thats why she hasn't said she loved you. Thats why nobody has said that. You remind them of me."

"Katherine was more of woman you'll ever be. She stepped up to the role after you ran away and killed your parents and the Potters. I wont allow you to speak horrible things about her." We we're getting into each others faces. "No matter what you do, I will never follow you. Im done being your puppet. If you are a real woman you would never have killed the only people that loved you." She grabs me by the throat and pushes me against the wall. Narcissa gasps and tries to get her off of me, Bellatrix just stood there. I was gasping for air as she choked me.

"You are no daughter of mine."

"Pity, only if that were true." I managed to say. She lets go of me and slaps me. I fell to the ground, held my cheek and looked up at her. I finally saw who she truly was. She snapped.

"You will never speak back to me! You are nothing but a weak little girl." Narcissa yanks Fiona away and holds me. My father, Lucas and Draco ran into the kitchen.

"Daphne." Draco runs to me. He kneels down. I didn't take my eyes off of Fiona. Honestly, she now scares me. The look she gave me.

"What did you do!" My father charges at her, now choking her.

"Its my fault!" I stopped him. Draco helped me up. "I went too far. I said things I shouldn't of said." My father lets her go and looks at Narcissa. She shakes her head. "I deserve it."

"We're going home." Lucas said as he shoves me and my father out of the kitchen. "You find a way back." He tells Fiona. I stepped into the car and waited for Lucas to come. He was followed by Draco. They both came in the car and we left. No words were said. Soon as we got home, my father wanted to see the damage.

"Let me see." I tilted my head up, exposing my neck. "I can see a bruise forming, here, drink this." He started whipping up a potion. I grabbed the cup and drank it. I wanted to throw up from the horrible taste. "Itll be gone in a few hours."

"Thank you father."

"What did you do?" I sighed.

"I shouldve listened to Lucas. I couldn't stop being a smart ass, its just the way she talks about me as if she were here and then she spoke about Katherine. Nobody messes with Katherine." I headed to the door. "I learned my lesson, I wont do it again." I headed to my room and saw Draco waiting for me.

"You're all good?" I nodded. "I swear, give me a minute and I'll kill her."

"No need." I walked up to my mirror and saw the bruise. My hand crept up, going around my neck. The print were the same size as my hand. I gulped. I took it too far. I turned to Draco, giving him soft kisses. "You didn't have to come." I whispered to him.

"I cant leave you alone with her. You're not safe." He puts his hands on my waist. "I get that you have your father and Lucas, but right now, I can protect you." He leans in for a kiss. We went to my bed and slowly kissed. My hands were on top of his chest, while his was on my cheek. He stops and looks at me. "We dont have to stay. We can go wherever we want." I gave him a smile. It wasn't possible.

"No we cant."I gave him a smile. He holds my hands. "If we even think about it, he'll find us and kill us." Voldemort would do it. He doesn't care about us, he just cares about beating Potter and he will kill anyone who backs out.

"I just cant let you go on with this pain."

"Thats the thing. I cant feel pain anymore. Draco, im more worried about you. You cant keep pushing down your emotions, you have to let them go. Im here. I got you." He places a kiss on my lips one more time. He looks at me like I am the only one.

"I want to marry you Daphne. I love you." My eyes watered.

"I love you too."

"When this is over, I promise you that we'll get married. I dont care about what my parents say. I want you."

"We'll get married then." He reaches in his pocket and showed me the rings, my rings I threw at him. He slides them on my ring finger and kisses my hand.

"Promise me?" He looks up at me with his doe eyes. The eyes I cant say no to. The eyes I fell in love with.

"I promise." He wrapped his arms around me and I looked at him. I want this all to be over so everything can be back to normal. I know it won't but right now, i need to hang on to that hope. I want to normal. I want to be good. I just want to be happy again.
