Damian.

I honestly expected to see Voldemort before I saw him standing in the entry way to the house.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I said walking up to him.

"Well you haven't answered my letters-"

"Yes for good reason!" There was a small silence as my mother and Narcissa left the room. I was jealous of them. "How did you even know where I was?"

"It wasn't that hard to find you..." he said softly.

"That's kinda creepy" Draco muttered from behind me.

"Look can we just talk for 5 minutes" Damian pleaded.

"No you can't" Draco said walking in front of me. I could feel his anger radiating off of him. I  moved to the side of Draco to keep my glare on Damian. I guess if I don't shut it down now I never will.

"5 minutes" I agreed.

"...alone?" Damian questioned.

"Absolutely not" Draco butted in again. I turned to him.

"It's only 5 minutes. Let me take care of it." I gave him a soft look.

"Fine" Draco walked past me and up to Damian, towering over him slightly. "Don't even think about pulling anything" he muttered through his gritted teeth. I motioned for Damian to follow me to the living area we were in earlier. I closed the large doors behind us and led him to the sitting area.

"You look nice" he said trying to make small talk. The blank expression on my face stayed put. He sat in the chair across from me awkwardly.

"Is that the guy?" He asked pointing at the door we just came from.

"Yeah." I said shortly.

"Real charmer" he joked. I didn't laugh. "Don't tell me you have feelings for the bloke?" He looked offended, as if I cheated on him.

"That stopped being your business when we broke up" he gave me a look of sadness, I just answered his question.

"Did you ever even have feelings for me? We talked about a future... you're going to throw that away?" I let out a long sigh.

"Damian. You know I had feelings for you okay. But things change. I can't just walk away from this, it's more complicated than that."

"Cause his family is all death eaters right?" I gave him a look of confusion. "I did my research y/n"

"Draco's right, that's kind of creepy" I muttered under my breath.

"I wanted to make sure you were going to be safe. I don't think you're safe here." He whispered as if someone was listening through the door. Which was very possible.

"You know you're not safe here right?" I said to him quietly. He was a muggle born after all and we know how the death eaters that normally are crawling this place feel about that. He just scoffed.

"I know that, I came here for you. I want you to leave with me." There was silence. I didn't even look at him. "So do you have feelings for him? Is that why you won't leave with me?"

"Damian it doesn't matter because either way I would never leave my mother here." I said crossing my arms.

"I can't believe it. You actually like that twat?" His voice started to get louder "He's a death eater. Your fiancé wants me dead"

"You don't know him Damian. Don't make accusations like that!"

"You met him 5 months ago, Are you sure you know him?"

"Don't tell me what I do and do not know." I stood from my chair. Anger filling me up.

"I love you y/n, we can leave all this!" He stood up as well.

"Stop acting like I need to be saved! I can take care of myself." He went to grab my hand and I pulled it away.

"I don't even recognize you anymore" He said looking at me. He moved closer but I kept backing away until I was up against the wall.  I try to push him away so he isn't so close but he doesn't budge.

"I think you should leave" I said short. Not looking at him. He shook his head.

"You're falling in love with a death eater y/n?How pathetic" his spit flung into my face as he annunciated his words.

"Leave. Now." I said sternly. He still didn't move but I could see his anger started to swell. "I said leave!" My voice echoed in the room. He got in my face.

"Tell me you don't love me"

"What?"

"Tell me you don't love me anymore and I'll leave" I put my hand on his chest to try and push him away but I can't get him to. "Y/n" he added in a whisper.

"I don't love you anymore"

"You're lying" he spoke softly.

"I said I don't love you now please leave" I started to tear up as I felt more and more uncomfortable with every passing moment.

"You're a fucking bitch you know that!" He practically yelled. That's when the doors swung open and Draco stormed in. In an instant Damian was off of me and halfway to the door.

"Have fun with her. She's not that great anyways, if you know what I mean" he had a smug look on his face. That's when Draco's hand found his jaw and he fell on the floor.

"If I ever see your coward face again. You won't get off as lucky" Draco spat. Damian finally got up and left.

"Have fun in your fake marriage" he yelled on his was out.

"Are you okay?" Draco came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder. I nodded though I was still trying to process what the hell just happened.

Just as much as he didn't recognize me, I barely recognized him. He never acted like with me before. But then again he still so obviously cared for me and I betrayed him in a way... being with a family of loyal death eaters.

But it wasn't my choice.

And Draco is nothing like them.

But maybe I didn't know him... like Damian said.

"Hey" I came out of my trance with Draco snapping in front of my face. "What the hell did he say to you?" I could tell Draco was still furious that he showed up here in the first place.

"It's nothing. Let's just drop it" I started walking back to the bedroom.

His words got into my head. I tried to get them out but I couldn't.

Are you sure you know him?
