Danger comes running but I run faster

“Draco Malfoy!” Yaxley barked. He suddenly found himself at wand point. “Did you or did you not know that your mother was going to visit Dumbledore?”Beside himself, Draco could only stutter. “I- I had no idea, I swear, she-““Crucio!”His body tensed up and he collapsed on the hard floor. The curse was so intense, so excruciating painful that he almost lost consciousness. It was worse than any other Cruciatus-curse that’s been directed at him before.When it was over, Draco pushed himself up on his knees, tears threatening to spill.“He is not worth it, Yaxley. He is just a kid.” Severus demanded. Oh, how he loved him sometimes.“He is a full Death Eater” one of the Carrow twins argued. As if to prove a point, someone shoved up his sleeve to present the Dark Mark pulsating on his arm.“One Malfoy represents the entirety of Malfoys. That’s how it works.”“So, what, we kill him too?”Or: When Draco took the Dark Mark, he hadn't expected to have to run from the same people he considered his allies. With the (partly) unwanted company of a house elf, he tries to find out who he can trust and learns how to grow bridges to the other side along the way.

Hi!Before you get into the story, I have three things to say:1) English is not my native language, so bear with me. There will most likely be mistakes in here, but do me a favour and ignore them.2) Be kind and respectful in the comments. Constructive criticism is appreciated, hate comments will be deleted. Please comment though! It is highly motivational xD3) The tags you see above are not complete. I will add more tags as the story goes on.Special thanks goes to my beta readers @BroccoliDemon, @s131004 and other friends who read my story! They are amazing.
