Always. (A Draco Malfoy Story)

Exposed.

"It's not just one letter."

Harry runs to Ron and Hermione who are sitting in the Gryffindor common room. He throws the parchments onto their laps.
"It's multiple letters. Apparently I've been talking to her for a long time." Ron and Hermione looks through the letters that Harry has received.
Hermione looks up to Harry, "Harry, it still doesn't mean anything." Harry beings to pace, "Well, what if it does? What if it's her?"
Ron tosses the letters to the side, "You really think the heir of You-Know-Who could ever be nice?"

Harry shrugs his shoulders, "Sirius said Death Eaters could be nice. Why not his heir?"

Snape walks down the corridor and sees Malfoy walking in the opposite direction as him. He walks up to him and motion for him to stop, "Mr. Malfoy, how are you doing with... your assignment?"
Malfoy looks up at Snape, and says nothing. Snape sighs, "I would advise for you to be careful with your task."
Malfoy spits out, "How about you mind your own business?"
Snape grabs the shoulder of Malfoy's jacket and scrunches it up into his palm, slightly lifting Malfoy from the ground. "May I remind you that I am to... watch you while you're here?"
Snape furrows his eyebrows, "You will show me some respect." Malfoy smirks at Snape before Snape drops him to the ground and lets go of his jacket.

"Now," Snape says, "Dumbledore is requesting for me. I better not hear of any of your late night adventures again."

Snape continues on his way in the direction of Dumbledore's office as Malfoy looks back at him. Malfoy thinks to himself, 'late night adventures?'
A lightbulb went off in his head.

Rosie.

I'm sitting with Tori in the common room, as she waits for Blaise to go to Hogsmeade together. She asks if he outfit looks alright as she twirls around. I nod and smile in response.

Suddenly, Malfoy comes barging into the common room, walking straight towards me. "Thought you could snitch on me to your father, huh?" He stands in front of me with his arms crossed.
My attention went from Tori to Malfoy, "Well, if you would have told me what you were doing that night, then maybe I wouldn't be so suspicious of you." I stand up and look up as him, our bodies centimeters away from each other.
Blaise comes stirring down the stairs and joins us, but stays by Tori's side. I continue on, "Hiding something, Malfoy?"
He rolls his eyes, "Shove it, Rosie." He pushes me to sink back onto the couch. I lean back onto the cushions and glare at him, "Oooh, feisty." I flash him a wink.
He scoffs and leaves.

Blaise wraps his arm around Tori's shoulder. I ask the both of them, "You guys don't ever wonder where he wanders off to?" Blaise shakes his head, "Not really."

Tori asks me, "Why the sudden interest in him?" I shrug my shoulders, "Just curious is all." She chuckles, "You sound like Pansy."
She gets quiet, "Oh Merlin, do you like him too?!"
I shake my hands in front of her, "Great Salazar, no! He's just a really sketchy guy."

All the students decided to go to Hogsmeade today since there was a sale going on at Honeydukes, which gave me the perfect opportunity to change back into Joy and lurk around the castle without getting caught.

I swished my wand and changes back into my original self. I walked to the mirror and looked at my reflection, "Oh, how I missed you." I winked at myself before grabbing a jacket and heading out the door.

I didn't know a sale at a damn candy store could make teenagers go crazy. I'm sure Hogwarts has never been this empty, even during the holidays or summer break.

I decided to look into that weird wall Malfoy was coming out of that night. I followed the same hallways and turned the same corners, and came face to face with it.
I looked up at the wall and suddenly see it change before my eyes. I couldn't help myself and decided to see what was inside.

Immediately going into the room, I could see it's just storage space.
I whisper to myself, "Why the fuck would Malfoy be in here for?" I look around the room a bit and see lots of objects, big and small.
I walk a little further down before I see him... Malfoy, standing in front of a cabinet?
He's whispering something? A spell? I hide behind some boxes and try to peak over to watch him. I accidentally hit something which made a clanking noise. Malfoy looked in my direction and I quickly grabbed my wand and changed back to Rosie.

I hear him enchant, "Homenum Revelio!" A few seconds later, he shouts, "Show yourself!"

"Hi Malfoy." I emerged from behind the boxes and wave at him.
"Rosie... what are you doing here?!" He keeps his wand pointed at me, as I skipped towards him. I smirk, "I said I liked trouble," I lowered his wand for him, "...so I'm trying to find some."
I walk over to the cabinet he was looking at. I rubbed my hands against the wood, "...Trying to mend it, are we?" He stays quiet.

"Tsk tsk, Malfoy. You need to work on being secretive." I giggle, "I've only been here a few days and I've already figured you out more than your friends." He scoffs, "You don't know a single thing about me, Rosie Snape."

"Oh, but I think I do, Draco Malfoy." I walk towards him, "I can tell that you're stuck. Fighting your own demons. Trying to be happy again, and will do anything it takes to achieve it. That's why you've been sneaking around the past few days. This cabinet will help you to be happy, will it not?"
He stands still, watching me walk around him. I could see his Adam's apple bobble up and down. I graze my right hand across his chest as I stand in front of him.

I whisper, "I can help you be happy, you know." His eyes widen, "Not by fixing the cabinet... but in other ways." My left hand grazes down to his trousers as I tug on his belt. I looked up at him and I could tell he was getting nervous, "Didn't you say you were spoken for the other day?" He nods but stays silent.
I chuckle, "Did she happen to mention how gorgeous your eyes are?"

My right hand goes up his face to cup his cheek, and he looks like... he's enjoying it? I get a weird sensation in my stomach... like something fluttering, as I see him melt into my hand.

Malfoy looks down at me then to my hand that's cupping his cheek.

He furrows his eyebrows. His entire mood changed in a flash.

He grabs my right wrist to hold it in front of my face. He shouts, "Where did you get this?!" He pulls my ring off of my finger.

I scoff, "Way to kill a mood, Malfoy." He yells even louder, "I said. Where. Did. You. Get. This. Rosie?!" He holds the diamond ring in front of my face. I roll my eyes, "Stole it off of some girl. Why?"

He clenches the ring in his hand with great strength and without a word he storms out of the room, going who knows where.
