Arianna's POV

After we apparated out of there, we landed in Malfoy Manor. As soon as we reached, I went to Snape, who was standing there.

"What is wrong with you?" I screamed, hitting him, not that it hurt him, I was sure of it. "I was doing it!"

Behind me, Bellatrix sneered. "You should have let the girl do it, she would have brought honor to the family after what Sirius and Regulas did!"

"What's done is done," Dawlish said. "Best not to keep the Dark Lord waiting."

I was stunned. "The Dark Lord-" I began. "Is he inside?"

"Most probably!" Bellatrix said, very gleefully.

I was gripped with fear. The man, who had killed thousands, he was waiting inside. I looked at Draco with fear. He was staring at me, looking at me. He walked over to me, and hugged me tightly.

"Nothing is going to happen to you," He whispered in my ear. "I would make sure of it."

I nodded and after a while he let go, everyone else had started walking towards the Manor. As we reached the entrance, they were waiting for us.

"Come on," Dawlish said. "Dark Lord's waiting for us."

We all walked inside and I couldn't help but marvel at the interior. It was completely furnished with marble and my black boots made a sound with every step, scaring me with every step I took. It's funny, I wasn't this scared even when I was going to Dumbledore!

We reached a double door and I felt that my heart was going to come out of my chest. Just crossing this door, that vile person was there, probably killing more. If Dumbledore hadn't told me to do this, i would have ran away from this 0lace like my life depended on it.

As Bellatrix opened the door, everyone bowed. I followed suit, naturally. I didn't want to be dead before I had completed my mission. As a precaution, Dumbledore had thought it best that I had learnt Occumency, to protect my mind from Voldemort. Draco hadn't learnt it, as Dumbledore didn't want to include him in the mission.

I felt like I was walking in the dragon's mouth without a sword.

As I bowed, I could hear the snake slithering. I knew that the snake was Nagini, Molly had informed me when I had accepted the mission. Molly, how were the others? They hadn't known that Dumbledore was to die, they would probably think that I had done it, with my sense of mind.

I shook the thoughts from my head, and kept bowing. Then I heard footsteps. We rose when a voice said to.

As we rose, I got my first look of Voldemort. My God. He looked evil. With a bald head, slits for a nose, and teeth so sharpened, he looked like Death. Apt name, as he brought Death to those unfortunate.

He was grinning as we rose. "Well, well!" He shouted. "Finally, worthy Death Eaters!"

Around me, everyone beamed. Of course they would, sick people that they were. "Sit everyone," He said, gesturing his arms around.

As I made my way to the back of the room he spoke up. "Except Draco and the girl."

It felt like time stopped for me. Oh shit. Well, get this over as soon as possible. I retraced my steps back to the centre of the room, with Draco standing right next to me.

"First of all, congratulations. You both did what a group of death eaters couldn't." He sneered.

He walked over to Draco, and Draco was scared shitless. "You have kept your family's honor, after all." He said and honestly, I felt like kicking his ass. He had absolutely no right to taunt him like that.

"You may go," He said, then walked over to me. I was not gonna loose to this son of a bitch. This was what I was meant to do. "What is your name?" He asked.

"Arianna Silver Black, my lord." I answered, keeping my eyes on the ground.

"Ah, Sirius or Regulas?" He asked.

"Sirius, my Lord," I raised my eyes. "But I have no wish to become like him, I want to serve you, my rightful master."

"The Black family has betrayed me," He said. "Except Bellatrix, of course. And how could I forget Narcissa. But you have proved your worth." Then he screamed. "She has done, what none of you could do! She had, disarmed Dumbledore!"

The others jeered and clapped. I felt remorse. to disarm one of the greatest wizards in history was not a thing to be proud of, and here I was, in the middle of such idiotic people.

"Come my dear." He put his hand out and shakily, I put my hand in his. "You will receive the dark mark tomorrow. You will be one of ours. Then together, we shall destroy The Chosen One."

Honestly, I felt sick to my stomach. But I kept it together, I had to. For Ron and Hermione. For Ginny. Luna. Seamus and Dean. All the others.

But most importantly, for Harry.

Harry's POV

She's gone. She's joined the Dark Side. He's gone. He's left us forever. He's given me nothing to go on with, except survive and find horcruxes. But where, how and by what? I'm gonna fail.

If Arianna was here, she would be going on and on about how giving up is easy, but taking the challenge defines who you are. She would help me, together we could have found horcruxes, but now it's useless. She's gone and I have Ron and Hermione.

They all were shocked to know that Arianna had disarmed Dumbledore herself and Snape had killed him. We had his funeral yesterday and there was not one person who wasn't crying. Draco and Arianna were not seen, but that was expected. Honestly, I would have liked to see her, just one last time.

Today, we had to go. Due to his death, the school year had been cancelled for the rest of the year. For others, it could mean extra holidays, but for me, it was going back to Privet Drive. Hell, in other words.

Everyone was on guard. Especially the muggle borns. They were all going into hiding as soon as possible, they knew that Voldemort was unstoppable. When Dumbledore died, the fortress went. They were all out in the open, and what was I doing? Thinking about my Ari.

As soon as I sat on the bed, the door opened. There was no one in the dorm room except me, as Dean had gone home already and Seamus was leaving right now. Ron had gone down to the Great Hall, to say goodbye to Slyvia.

It was Hermione. She came and sat next to me, wrapping her hands around me. "I know it's tough," She began.

"Why would Ari do this to us?" I asked, again.

"Didn't she say the one time, for her, family was everything." She remarked. "She would go to the ends of earth for Malfoy, don't you see that?" She was on a roll now. "Maybe she's doing this to protect us or maybe she's actually doing 5 his for her benefit, we don't know. But what we do know, is that we have to defeat Voldemort -" She shuddered. "You have to."

"I know," I said. "But I don't want to put you guys in danger."

"Harry, mate -" Ron started as he walked in. "You shouldn't have been in my carriage if you didn't want to put us in danger."

We all laughed at that memory. Ron, shocked to see me and me shocked to see the magical world. Hermione acting so bossy. Fred and George, Percy, everyone. Sometimes, I would wonder how would it be if I wasn't marked by Him. Pretty ordinary.

"Come on, then!" Hermione stood up. "We'll go to the carriages. And remember, we are picking you up for the wedding." Ron said.

"Are you sure?" I asked, feeling like I was intruding. Bill and Fleur's wedding, wow.

"Mum's thought of you as her kid, do you know that?" Ron laughed. "And anyways, Fluer was very specific and it is the one thing that both of the women would agree on.

We all laughed and they went out of the dorm, waiting for me at the entrance of the Great Hall. I looked around one last time. It was scary and daunting but I knew, for all the people that Voldemort had hurt and killed, I had to do this.

For them.
