Always. (A Draco Malfoy Story)

Game on.

I make my way to the party to try and find a familiar face.

Luckily, I see Harper off to the side, dancing on her own.

"Hey, have you seen Draco?"

"Who?!"

"Draco!"

She shakes her head no and continues to dance. A guys bumps into her while she's dancing and her mood changes from easy going to demon real quick.

"Watch where you're going, you toad!" She casts a spell on him and his eyes begin to enlarge.

I cover my mouth, trying to hold in my laugh but I'm failing miserably.
Harper begins to look proud at what she's done.

"Remind me to never piss you off."

She laughs, "People are so fucking rude here! They can't say excuse me?!"

"Well we are in Slytherin, I would say only a handful of us have actual manners."

"You're right."

"Hey, weren't you looking for someone?"

"Right! So you have seen Draco anywhere?"

"No..." She looks around the room.

"Oh, maybe ask them. Those are his friends, right?"

I look over to see she's pointing to the other goons, Crabbe and Goyle.

I nod, "Thanks, Harper. Have fun!"

She immediately goes back to dancing all on her own when I leave her.

I approach the two boys eating some chocolate frogs.

"Goons, where's Draco?" I look at them in disgust as they're swelling down the chocolate, whole, "And don't you two ever stop eating so much candy?"

Crabbe answers, "I dunno. Didn't see him for a while."

"You might wanna check his room," Goyle points up the stairs.

"Thanks..." I take a steps towards the stairs before facing them again.

"Oh uhm, you got chocolate on your face. Like... right there," They both wipe the corners of their mouth, simultaneously.
It's weird how in sync they are.

I shudder before making my way to the boy's dormitory.

-

I pass door by door before find the room labeled "Malfoy & Zabini".
I lift my hand to knock on the door but stop myself.

'What if he doesn't let me sleep in there?' 'What if there's a girl in his room?' 'What if he thinks I'm trying to hook up?'

My thoughts get interrupted by the door in front of me swinging wide open.

Draco stands in front of me, with his hair in disarray, dressed in sweatpants and without a shirt on.

"Joy? What are you doing here?"

"Hi." My fist that was supposed to knock on the door turned into an awkward wave.
"Uhm..."

He leans against his door frame, "Don't tell me you're here for a booty call."

My face scrunches up in disgust, "Ew no, shut up. Tori and Blaise are hooking up in my room so I got kicked out. Can I stay here for tonight?"

Draco takes a good look at me before he takes a step back so I can enter the room.

The boys dorm looks similar to the girls, just decorated with black and green instead.

"Wow, there's no girl in here. I'm surprised," I stand awkwardly in the middle of the room.

He jumps onto his bed, "You keep that up and you'll be sleeping with Crabbe and Goyle."

I start to explore their room, "Haha, you wouldn't."

He smirks at me.

I look begin to look through Blaise's belongings.
Draco watches me, "You know you shouldn't touch things that aren't yours."

"He's shagging my best friend. I have the right to know what kind of guy he is. What better place to find that out than his room?" I sass back, continuing to looks though his drawers.

I look up after I speak and see Draco reading.

I hold my face in amazement, "Wait, are you reading? You? You read? Voluntarily?"

Draco smirks while he continues to read. "Are you just gonna annoy me the whole time you're here?"

"Perhaps... unless you have something better to do," I take a seat onto Blaise's bed.

Draco looks up at me before closing his book, "...Alright, wait right here."

He leaves the room for a few minutes and returns with cups.

He hands me two of the cups and I look at the drink questionably.
"You know I was taught to not accept drinks that weren't made in front of me."

Draco sits back down on his bed. "Do you really think I would drug you?"
I give him a fictitious look.

He sighs, "It's safe, I promise." He pauses, "But... let's have a little fun."

He pulls out a small potion bottle from his drawer.

"Yeah that's exactly what I meant by drugs."

He sighs again, "It's not drugs. It's Veritaserum. Let's play truth or drink. Answer truthfully with the Veritaserum, or take a drink."

I think long and hard about it.
Do I really wanna do this?

"Alright, game on."
