The Housemaid || Draco Malfoy 18+

*Mature*

Juliet was out of her depth after leaving Hogwarts. She had left too soon, in year 5 to be exact. Therefore she never completed her studies. However, there was reason to this.

She had come from a not so wealthy family, one of which she had to provide for to help with the house costs, clothing and food as her mother and fathers income was simply not enough. Her luck got worse down the line when her parents died in a car crash, such horrible muggle contraptions she thought to herself.

So now, she had to fend for herself which only made things more difficult. She no longer lived in the house she grew up in. She now lived with her friends Theo and Elara in a tiny flat in Wiltshire since it was all they could afford.

Juliet wasn't working at the moment and was trying to seek a job. She'd search through papers, knock on windows to shops but nothing seemed available. She'd lost her last job being a waitress at a Restaurant in Diagon Alley due to it getting shut down for not having much business.

She sat there on her bed flicking through the job vacancy segment of the Daily Prophet, underlining each job she thought suitable to look more into with the point of her quill until her hand slipped due to the sudden crash of someone on the bed beside her making her look up to her dark-haired friend with a tired expression.

''Still not found anything?'' Theo asked her as she sighed heavily placing the quill onto the newspaper which sat on her white sheets, shaking her head in defeat.

Theo placed his hands on her shoulders massaging them gently as he leant his lips down to her ear ''It's alright you know, you don't have to rush looking for a job'' he whispered with a kind smile as her head tilted to the side to look at his face smiling back at her, his hands lowering to wrap around her waist from behind her on the bed.

''You and Elara can't support me as well as yourselves'' she mumbled taking a deep breath ''I'm going to have to either get some income for us all, or move out-''

''No, you don't have to move out. We've got this, yeah?'' he said then noticing how Juliet had not replied back to him with anything but a shrug ''Yes?-''

''Yes alright'' she moaned and Theo stroked her hair to the one side of her shoulder softly.

He'd always been affectionate with her, gentle and caring. He cared a lot for the girl who sat on the bed in front of him. He would always be there for her as he was throughout all her pain she had endured when her parents died. That was the only reason they even moved in together, with the exception of roping Elara into it too. Theo would always be there for her, through anything.

They were like one small family.

''Maybe I should just become an escort'' she mumbled to herself and the brown haired boy knitted his brows at her, not knowing whether to laugh or take her seriously ''I mean, they do make good money-''

Theo lifted himself up and sat in front of her instead grabbing both her hands in his ''Please tell me you're taking the piss'' he smirked at her and a curl came onto her lips.

''Well-''

''No Juliet'' he said firmly with a short chuckle ''No'' he repeated more seriously this time looking deeply into his friends eyes.

''Fine'' she huffed picking back up the newspaper and flicking through the pages again to find her eyes had grown wide at one of the advertisements ''Maid?'' she tilted her head back up to Theo as if she was asking if he thought it was suitable enough.

''Better than escort babe'' he smirked and she shook her head at him with a smile before looking back down at the advertisement, reading through it carefully.
