 [Tucked away in a quiet wooded area of Hogsmeade, away from the main village, is an old but cosy looking county manor, more modest in size than the grand manors of some of the other rich Wizarding families. It once belonged to the previous Mayor of Hogsmeade and his ancestors - the more recent descendants moved into the village to be more central. Newly cleaned out and renovated by Bojan before allowing his wife Ophelia to stay in there. This is to be their main home, and their log cabin in home country Croatia to be their second home.]
**glances around the old-fashioned decor and the slightly wonky wrought iron candelabra settings, and the old castle artefacts he bought to try and make it more homely for his wife before looking at her to see her reaction**
Vell, ve are here! Sorry it is not perfect, but it vill get better... |

*Lets go of Bojan's waist and kisses him once before turning around to have a look at the house*
*Takes in the castle-style fixtures and starts to giggle*
Did you do this for me, you silly thing?
*Turns back to him with a big smile on her face and puts her arms around his neck*
There was really no need, you know...
*Kisses him softly*

You're wonderful, do you know that?
*Kisses his nose and smiles*
The Malfoys, hmm?
*Thinks about it for a moment and shakes her head*
No... I'd rather we get settled into our new home. It's our first night here, let's make it special. Parties can wait.

**nods and steps closer to her, taking her cold dainty hands in his warm big ones and looking her in the eyes**
**voices drops to a soft whisper**

*Her heart feels like it's stopped at his words, and her stomach churns*
Wh-what do you mean?
*Fights to keep her expression neutral*

**strokes his fingers down her silky curls with a soft sigh**
I know ve haff spoken about this before, but I really do think you should stop the training. You do not sleep any more. And you do not eat very much. You are exhausted, you look pale and veak. You are annoyed at having to spend so many long hours with Mr Snape. That is vat I think. But if it is something else, please tell me?
**whispers softly with a gentle smile**
I vant you to be relaxed and at full health because you know vat I vant to happen... I am sure Severus vill understand. I vill take your place, if the Dark Lord has a use for me instead. I hate to see you suffering.

*Feels like her heart is going to break at his words, and wraps her arms around him, resting her head on his chest*
I...
*Sighs, completely torn, and makes her decision*
I'm nearly finished my training. I have a final session to go to, one last test, and then I'm done. I've come so far, Bojan, I can't just give up now.
If I do...
*Hesitates, then says so quietly she half hopes he won't hear*
If I do, I will have murdered someone for no reason.

Well... providing I pass the test, it will be the last time. No more, ever again, apart from if the Dark Lord summons me. I promise.
*Closes her eyes, not wanting to meet his trusting gaze*
I don't like worrying you, darling. I don't want to see you upset, so I don't tell you. You've been so busy, and doing so much...
*Sighs and squeezes him tightly*
On one of my training sessions... the Dark Lord was there. He... he made me...
*Starts crying*

He...
*Wipes at her eyes, getting blood stained tears all over her hands*
Oh, Bojan, he made me kill someone. A man. I have no idea who he was.
I'm a murderer, my love, a murderer!

It... it started out as a test. Severus was training me to resist blood, and it was working, but then the Dark Lord arrived...
*Clings to Bojan, unbelievably thankful that he's not running away from her, but half scared that he will when he hears the rest*
He told me to kill the man. I didn't want to do it, but I was scared, I thought that if I didn't...
*Whispers*
I've never killed anyone before. Not even for blood. And I did it because he told me to.
