The Tale of A Young Mafoy

hey guys!  I had been planning to write a HP fanfic post-Hogwarts since forever , and so thats how this was formed. hope you enjoy it! COMMENT!!!!! 

A Troubling Matter:

A tall pale man sat at his mahogany desk .

 An open edition of the day's Daily Prophet lay in front of him filled with moving pictures of the newly-divorced lead singer of the weird sisters with absolute lucidity along with advertisements about the booming discounts  at Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions.  

none of these seemed to make its way into Draco Mafoy's head at the moment . all he could think about was the assignment he'd been given that very morning. leaning back , onto the velvet plush of his office chair , he found himself rerunning the scenes that had taken place in the morning.........................................................................................

-----------------------------------------

He was making his way through the ministry of magic , his briefcase in one hand , a butterbeer in the other. although beverages from the outside were restricted from being brought in , most people bent the rules during the winter. Draco couldn't blame them . the butterbeer made by the ministry's elves just didn't have the same knack as the ones made by wizards and witches.

he got into the elevator and pressed the number 6.

a few minutes later the elevator doors slid to close with a creaking noise.

finally

however just then a chubby man in a brown overcoat ran towards the him.

"Wait ! " he said puffing.

slightly disgruntled , Draco put his hand against the metal doors , bringing their movement to stop.

The man made his way into the elevator and bent mid-way , his hands on his legs.

" than- thanks. good thing i got to the ministry by Floo powder . if i'd taken my usual route , i would have been even more late for the meeting! "

Draco examined the sweaty man in front of him. up close , He looked very pudgy indeed. Draco wondered how he had been made an auror to catch dark wizards when his weight slowed him down.

" the name's Fletcher. Leanard Fletcher. i know who you are. Draco Mafoy"

Draco smiled dryly at him as that was how a good-wizard interaction should go. 

" oh wait "  he said , suddenly standing up straight.  " you're on the assignment too aren't you!?  well thank goodness for that. mind you i wouldn've hated to walk in alone. i mean to attend a meeting with some of the most brilliant and not to mention famous auroros in the ministry! "

the young mafoy couldn't help but scorn at the last sentence. the whole of the wizarding world still regarded Harry potter with the same awe they had when they were in school. now having his co-workers do the same , Draco couldn't help but  feel pissed.

" yes i've heard the wonderful news that we're working along-side Weasly and Potter.

A silence fell between them and Draco knew at once that Leanard had caught the resentment leaking from his sentence.

the elevator finally opened up , taking them to the meeting room , where though Draco did not know at the time , would change his life in ways he couldn't have thought of.
