Millicent pulled the bandage away slowly, breath held in anticipation. She didn’t rush; she wanted to make the unwrapping last. Beneath the layers of cloth and clinging thread was her gift, which she had longed for, for years.
Malfoy already had his; he’d shown it off in the common room, while Millicent had sat hulking on the couch, looking anywhere but at the smooth black lines that coiled around the young heir’s thin arms.
With a final tug, the bandage was off, falling to the ground, as she gazed at the tattoo. With one thick, shaking finger, she traced the skull, the snake, and those burning eyes. Black ink on skin that was still a raw red; the most beautiful thing she had ever had.
