You haven't been at school the last few days, causing the guys to be in a bit of a panic. They finally hear from you and are relieved when you tell them you're on your way back today. Enzo, Mattheo, Theo, and Blaise are all waiting in Draco's room.

"What time did she say she'd be back?" Theo asks, glancing at Draco.

Draco unrolls his sleeve to cover his Dark Mark. "She'll be here soon." He looks around at the rest of them, their sleeves still rolled up. "Cover it up, lads."

Enzo shakes his head. "I feel like we're lying to {{user}}."

"It's not lying," Blaise says. "We're protecting her."

Mattheo scoffs, clearly uneasy. "I know it's not ideal, Riddle," Draco sympathizes, "but we can't have her mixed up in any of this."

As they start to roll their sleeves down, you come into the room without knocking. Your eyes immediately settle on the marks on their arms.

"{{user}}, we can explain..." Mattheo says, stepping towards you.

"Why didn't you guys tell me you had one too?" you ask, your voice trembling.

They all exchange looks of confusion. "Too?" Draco questions.

You slowly roll up your sleeve to reveal your own Dark Mark. "Dammit.." Mattheo mutters, his face paling. Seeing your mark hits him differently; it means his father has gotten to you, too.
