Always. (A Draco Malfoy Story)

Kicked out.

The dungeons are so quiet, you can hear the rats scurrying down the hallway.

'I wonder where everyone is? Is it dinner time already? Is everyone in the Great Hall?'

I get through the Slytherin entrance and my question has been answered.

I'm suddenly hit by the vibrations of the music that's blasting in the common room.
I quickly shut the door, so that the silencing spell works it's magic again.
Leave it to Slytherin house to throw another party.

I stop by the bar to grab a drink or two before heading up to my room.
There's no way I was gonna go to another party after the last one, but I still don't want to pass up the opportunity for free booze. I'll simply enjoy it from the confines of my dorm walls.

As I enter my room, I set my drinks on my bedside table and grab some clothes before heading to the bathroom for a shower.

The shower felt amazing, especially since everyone is partying right now so no one is hogging all the hot water.
I throw on my fresh sets of clothes and exit the bathroom.

I'm startled when I come back to find Draco sitting on my bed.

I freeze right outside of the bathroom door, "Why are you in my room?"

"I was looking for you," he flips through my book, "Where'd you go after the game?"

"To the infirmary. To visit Chelsie and Harry."

He snaps the book shut, "Potter? Why'd you visit him?"
There's a strain of irritation in his voice.

"He literally fell out of the sky. I had to see if he was ok," I snatch my book out of his hands.
I motion for him to move so I can crawl into my bed.

"You're friends with him?"

I start to get comfy, "I guess, why?"

He goes quiet.
He stands up and makes his way to the door. He turns when he realizes I'm not following him out.
"Aren't you coming to the party?"

"Nope," My eyes don't leave my book.

"Why not?"

I look up at him in all seriousness, "Do you not remember how the first party went?"

I wait for his face of realization of what I'm referring to, "Oh, right."

"Besides," I shrug, "I'm not really in a party mood."

He nods, "Suit yourself."
He leaves my room and closes the door behind him.

-

An hour goes by before the door whips open where I see Tori and Blaise leaning on each other.

Tori doesn't realize she's shouting,
"Whoops! I forgot I have a roommate now!"

She turns to Blaise, and runs her fingers down his chest. "Hold on one quick second, ok?"
He nods and Tori slams the door in his face.

"Uhm, what the hell is going on?"

She jumps onto my bed, pleading. "Joy! Joy! Please please please? Pretty please?"

I look at her confused. It takes me a second to realize what she's asking of me. My face shows frustration.

"Tori, where am I supposed to sleep?!"

She rubs her knuckles against each other, "Well... Blaise rooms with Draco...."

I shut my book and very, very aggressively shake my head,
"Mm nope. Nope. Nope nope nope. I'll just wait for the party to die down so I can sleep on the couch."

"Joy." She grabs my leg.

"What?"

"It's only 9 o'clock."

I look at the clock on my desk, it's seriously only 9:01.
I groan, loud, "Fine! But you owe me!" I begin to crawl off of my bed.

Tori flings her arms around and hugs me from behind, "Thank you, I love you so much!"

I quickly change my clothes into party attire and open our room door, where Blaise is leaning against the door frame.

I roll my eyes. "Just... stay off of my bed please. Anywhere is fine but not my bed."

"You got it."

We exchange places and now I realize, I have to find Draco.
