One Shot - Bad Day

Draco frowned deeply as he stepped out of a large building, his hands buried deep into his jeans pockets as he slowly made his way down the stairs.

Over and over in his head he replayed the scene he had just exited from.

"I'm sorry Mr..."

"Black" Draco helped, fighting back the urge to roll his eyes.

"Mr Black" the teller continued; his voice soft and calm as if he was trying to explain to a child why they couldn't get a lolly. Draco was truly insulted. "There isn't enough money in your account to cover the fees" The man said, his hands calmly resting on the table as he looked steadily at the dumbfounded blonde.

"But... how?" Draco asked, his head shaking from side to side as he tried to figure out what had gone wrong.

Looking growlingly, yet managing to mask it to a majority Annoyed, the teller took a deep breath, and once again the child was being forbidden his lolly. "If you wish, I can have a look at your transactions for the last two weeks." His fingers were already moving over the keyboard before Draco gave his consent.

"Sure" the blonde muttered, resting his arms over the desk, as he waited to hear where his money had gone.

After a few seconds of typing in codes and words, the teller nodded as if something that had appeared on the screen was exactly what he had expected to see. After a few seconds of scanning the list, he turned the LCD to face the blonde, showing him the transactions of the past two weeks.

It was starting to become obvious as to where the money had gone. His silver eyes narrowed as he read through the details. Oh yes, it was obvious as to why his cheque had bounced. He was definitely broke, something that wasn't entirely new to him, though it was unexpected.

Today, however, was really not his day.

First his alarm forgot to wake him, causing him to be late for his optometrist appointment, and when he did reach the optometrist he discovered that he was in need of a new pair of glasses, (that itself was a fine digit to observe. Then he discovered, via a call on his mobile, that his cheque had bounced from a payment he had made on a bed two weeks ago, and then when he tried to pay for his new glasses he found that his account didn't have enough funds. He was entirely broke, and he was yet to pay half his bills!

Fighting back a growl of frustration, Draco read over the words again, the entire ordeal was truly starting to become real, too real. Josephine was truly starting to show her colours.

Every transaction made, was all - no doubt - done on something idiotic and entirely useless. Then again, when he had broken up with the woman three months ago he should have expected this turn of events. She always had that 'I'll get you for leaving me' gleam. So this was her revenge for him leaving. Pathetic, yet... effective, seeing as now he was completely broke.

The teller continued to wait, his fingers drumming annoyingly on the desk, his eyes resting on the blonde, waiting for him to understand that, yes, there were to be no more lollies coming his way.

Keeping his composure as calm as he could - that in itself wasn't very calm - Draco leaned against the desk. "Is there a way I can cancel that card?" He asked, his eyes narrowed, daring the man to speak a negative, he was rewarded with a positive nod and the LCD screen turned back to the teller, his fingers working quickly over the keyboard.
