The Housemaid || Draco Malfoy 18+

JULIET POV

I arrived to the Malfoy Manor the next day right on time, being sure not to disappoint, at least not straight away. The gatekeeper let me in and told me to walk straight through and await them in the dining room which made me feel a little scared if I'm being honest. Walking into a strangers home without them actually letting you in themselves did feel strange.

I now sit here at the large dinner table in this dark, gloomy home. I felt a little uneasy being here. It was as if the life had been sucked out of the place. The manor looked lavish still, full of expensive decor and incredible paintings which rested upon the walls.

There was one picture hung upon the wall that caught my eye, that one picture of what looked like the family all together. Not a happy one, nor a sad one. More of an expressionless one in which there were 3 people.

One which seemed to be the father, who had long, platinum hair which flowed to his shoulders. One seemed to be the mother, who was a beautiful women with dark hair and blonde resting underneath. Then lastly, there was a boy who sat in the middle on a leather, emerald green chair with his mother and father's hands placed on each shoulder, one who looked around my age, assuming this was Draco the boy Theo informed me about.

His hair colour was like his fathers, icy blonde and swept to the side neatly. His skin was fair and pale and his jaw looked enough to cut through skin. He looked handsome. Incredibly handsome as he sat there in a black suit. His eyes shone far and beyond through the picture striking me straight away with how blue they were, almost like the Bahama waters. He could have seemed kind, like someone you'd be enticed into straight away just with those eyes, however, his expression said different. There was a coldness to him which radiated through the picture, a coldness which set goosebumps onto my skin as I stared at him as if he was actually here right now in front of me.

''Juliet, is it?'' I heard come from beside me and I stood up immediately to face the women who stood in the entrance way to the dinner hall. My hands placed formally in front of me.

There she was, the women from the photo walking slowly towards her with an inviting smile on her face.

''Please sit down lovely, there is really no need to stand before me'' the woman said and I simply nodded with a smile before seating myself back down in her chair. A lump arose in my throat, not knowing what to say at all in front of this woman.

The woman sat in at the opposite side of the table looking back at me.

''I'm Narcissa Malfoy'' she smiled ''It's lovely to meet you, dear''

''Yes, you too'' I simply say almost through a breathily whisper through my nervousness.

''No need to be nervous, I don't bite'' she told me making me let out an awkward chuckle under my breath ''So, any experience being a maid for anyone?''

''Actually, no. But I have been a waitress'' I smiled hoping she would accept that as a reasonable type of experience.

''Well, we do need hosts for gatherings. So I suppose that will come in useful'' she said with her formal posture and tone ''Do you know how to do chores? Clean, make bed, cook et cetera?'' she asked.

''Yes, I'm great at those things'' I said as if I wasn't even sure of myself like the idiot I am.

Narcissa smiled down to the table then back at me.

''You see since the whole Elves rights came into play, we've been without any help in the home for a while now. As long as you can do all those things, then I don't see why you couldn't be fit to work here'' she smiled once again.
