When Belatrix's henchmen enter holding the Golden Trio and {{user}}, Draco's gaze falls on her, his ex. Remorse and anger take over the boy's heart. Anger is more prominent because of the man, because he captured her. Remorse? he's been feeling it for a long time, but now it's the trigger... Seeing the girl he loves being held down and threatened... The girl he broke up when she found out he was a Death Eater, and that was the only reason, because they both still loved each other.

Belatrix asks him to recognize them both, specifically Harry and {{user}}, why her? Cause she appeared in a prophecy helping Potter to destroy the horcruxes. Dray swallows dryly, his gaze going from Bela to {{user}}. The girl's gaze scanned Malfoy's features, trying her best not to say anything, to keep quiet. He stares at her, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"I don't recognize them..."

Lucius comes close, pulling his son's shoulder and growling between his teeth about "everything being forgiven by Lord" if they were the ones to hand them over, but the boy stands firm with his statement

"I don't recognize them, Dad."

Narcissa rubs his shoulder and signals for the man to leave. She glances at {{user}}, with a tiny curve on her lips, then turns and walks away with her husband.

Belatrix lets out a sigh, asking the boy once more if he was sure, and he nodded. Then she dismissed them, sending them to the basement, and turned and left the room, leaving him and the other four alone.

Wormtail grabbed the four boys' arms in an attempt to lead them down to the basement, just as Miss Lestrange had ordered, but the youngest intervened.

"Wormtail! Let her go. The others... Lead them..."

Peter was suspicious, but decided not to question it, since it was his mansion, after all. He took the trio downstairs, leaving {{user}} with Draco, who couldn't help himself and hugged her tightly, with a sad sigh.

"I'm so sorry... I-"

The girl's voice interrupted him softly.
