Squeezing the handle of the dagger, Pansy considered where to make the cut. Custom won out and so she pulled up the sleeve of her robe, baring her left forearm. She laid the tip of the blade against her skin, in the precise spot where a Death Eater would have a Dark Mark. It seemed like the perfect spot and Pansy wondered if Alecto would approve.
Pansy sensed that Alecto was impatient - as was she - so biting her lip, she made a long cut with the dagger. The edge was keen and cut her skin easily, the blood welling up immediately, a shocking dark red color against her pale flesh. "And the oath?" she prompted, eyeing Alecto's wand.
