Always. (A Draco Malfoy Story)

The Book.

I got back to the house fine, but couldn't stop thinking about Draco's well being.

"Binky? I'm home!" I yell out. The house was dark and cold, but a light turns on from the basement.
I see Binky running up the stairs. "Miss Joy! You're back!"

I crouch down and give Binky a hug, "I've missed you, Binks." He smiles as I ask, "Did you throw any good parties?" He shakes his head, "No parties, Miss Joy!" I giggle, "Too bad, I bet they would've been fun."

I get up to my room and bring my luggage onto my bed and start unpacking. I put all my clothes away, as well as my other belongings.

It wasn't long before I felt a cold gust of wind suddenly breeze through my room. I didn't even bother to turn around.
"Seriously? I just fucking got back." I continued to unpack.

"There's something I need you to do for me, Joy." I roll my eyes, "Kinda busy right now, Voldy. I'm sure it can wait until I'm done."
He repeats himself, "Joy—"

"You know I'm kinda fucking sick and tired of having to be at your beck and call when I'm sure I could find better things to do than do all of your bitch work." I snap at Voldy as I turn around and cross my arms across my chest. "You send everyone off to the work for you and you just stay back until you can take all the credit, huh?"

"I was actually having a mildly entertaining time at Hogwarts and you just had to call me back at the most inconvenient fucking time." I groan in frustration.
Voldy looks at me, "...Are you done?"

"Yes... so you can go now."I point to the door and resume packing, "There's the door."

I could feel his eyes bore into the back of my skull. I throw my clothes onto my bed and sigh dramatically.
I turn around and face him again, "Fine... what can I do for you, almighty Lord Voldemort?" I theatrically bow to him as a joke.

"I could do without the attitude, Joy." He beckons. I just stare at him as he sighs.

"I need you to keep this in your vault at Gringott's for now. Bellatrix will at some point come to claim it." He hands me a sack that protects a sword.
I toss it back to him, "Get someone else to do it."
He groans loud in annoyance, and I hear, "Imperio!"

Against my will, I turn around and face him. My face obviously annoyed.
"You will do as you are told, am I clear?" I scoff, "If you say so."

He shoves the sword into my arms and disapparates. I toss the sword onto my bed before mumbling under my breath, "...pale ass, no nose bitch."

-

The next day, I'm woken up by the pulsating pain in my left arm. I groan at the thought of having to deal with this shit so early in the morning. I look at the clock: 11:24.

Ok, so maybe not early in the morning... but I still don't want to go to a fucking meeting today.
Nevertheless, I shower, change and head to the Manor.

I'm the last to arrive to the meeting, besides Voldy himself, of course. Everyone else is already here waiting for him. I go inside the room and all eyes turn to me.
"About time you showed up, Joy." Dolohov spat. "Bite me, Dolohov."

I sunk into a chair seated at the head of the table. I ask them all, "Anyone know why we're here?"
Bellatrix replies, "The Lord wishes to discuss his plans. Draco has finished one of his tasks. It's time to move forward with infiltrating Hogwarts."

I scoff, "That's why he were mending that thing? We're gonna storm Hogwarts?" They all nod.
I smirk, "Finally, something fun to do."

Greyback asks me, "Where have you been this whole time?" I raise my eyebrow, "None of your business, Greyback." He walks over to my seat and leans down to whisper into my ear, "Poor little Joy... not so tough without the Dark Lord behind you."
I throw my head back, hitting his nose and causing him to tumble backwards, hunch over and hold his nose in pain.

I stand up, walk over to him, grab my wand and use it to lift up his chin to make him face me, "Do you have a problem with me, Greyback?" I hissed with no remorse.
I taunt, "Do I have to make an example out of you, for what happens when you disrespect me when the Dark Lord isn't here?" I dig the tip of my wand into his chin, causing him to look up at me at an uncomfortable angle.

He mutters out, "...no." I smirk in response, "...then don't try me."

I retract my wand and return to my seat. I see everyone staring at me in fear... except for Bellatrix, who was as giddy as ever after witnessing that show. "Very good, Joy. The Lord would be pleased."
I scoff, "The Lord doesn't have to know."

A cold wind gushes through the room as Voldy appears... with Snape.
"What don't I have to know about, Joy?" He asks. I smile sweetly, "I don't know, why don't you ask Greyback?" I face Greyback who was still to the side of the room, now bleeding from his nose.

Voldy looks at Greyback who quickly returned to his seat, without instruction. "Anyway..." Voldemort begins the meeting, "Severus has notified me that our time has come. We shall invade Hogwarts tonight." I look at Snape who pays no attention to me, which annoys me greatly.

"Bellatrix..." Voldemort turns to her.
"Yes, my Lord?" She leans forward in her chair. "You, Greyback, Dolohov and the others shall wait at Borgin & Burkes for Draco's signal." She nods in compliance.
Voldy turns his attention to me, "Joy, have you done what has been asked of you?" I respond, "I'll be going there today apparently." He nods and says, "Severus will accompany you."
I look over to Snape who just nods in acknowledgement. I shrug my shoulders, "Alright."

Voldemort dismisses the rest of us and disapparates out of the room. Thankfully, Snape stayed behind. I needed to talk to him, but he went straight towards Narcissa, who seems stricken with worried eyes.

I eavesdrop on their conversation, "How is he?" She asks. Snape responds, "He's alright. He woke up yesterday."

A sigh of relief escaped me. I shake my head, 'what the fuck... why do I care?'

Narcissa nods and leaves the room, leaving just Snape and I. "So... shall we go to Gringott's?" I ask casually.
He replies, "I need to speak with Dumbledore before we go. I will meet you at the house." I nod as he disapparates.

I look to the door that leads to the rest of the house. I feel compelled to check on Narcissa, so I go looking for her.

I found her in a bedroom, decorated with black, green, and silver, looking at a picture frame on a dresser.
I knock on the door frame.

"Oh! Joy!" Narcissa quickly puts down the picture frame and stands still to face me.
I giggle, "No need to be so formal, Narcissa. He isn't here." She smiles and loosens up a bit.

"I'm assuming this is Draco's room?" I ask her. She nods, "I kept it clean for him for when he returns from school."
I walk around the room and look around, I turn to Narcissa who was staring at me, slightly smiling?

I chuckle, "I'm sorry to barge in on you. I just... thought with this whole house, you'd just want someone to talk to for a bit." She smiles, "I never thought of you being as cold, as the Dark Lord. After all... you're so young. You're Draco's age, you know?" I nod.

She smiles, "Stay as long as you'd like, Joy." I smile back at her as she leaves the room.

I'm drawn to the bookcase that Draco has in here. I didn't really peg him for a reader.

I brush my fingers against the spines of the books as one book in particular seems to catch my eye.

I pull it off of the shelf and look at it. It's actually a really pretty book.
I open the book and turn to the first few pages and see the dedication:

"To my love: I can't wait to write in more memories. So that we can always remember how we grew to be happy together. I love you. - D.M."

Wow, this was actually really cute.
I turned the page, saw a picture and my jaw dropped.

That's...me. And Draco.

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK?!
