Always. (A Draco Malfoy Story)

Distraction.

It's the same thing, every single time.

I've found a guy that was a promising candidate to help me get my mind off of Draco... but for some damn reason, every time we get into it, he pops into my head and it just kills my entire mood.

I'm running out of boys to snog with. I'm going to have to go down the list... again.

Here I am, lightly snogging with some seventh year, who's name I can't remember, when we're interrupted by a clearing of a throat.

"Well well... here we are again Miss Snape." Boy and Girl Carrow stand adjacent to me.

I roll my eyes and tell the seventh year that we can resume this at a later time. He nods and walks on his merry way.
I turn to the twins and greet them warmly, "Hello, my least favorite pair. That's an accomplishment you know... you've managed to drop below the Goons."

Boy Carrow huffs, "No public displays of affection in the corridors." He smirks, believing this is a rule big enough to punish me for.

"Your father is in a meeting right now... meaning we have authority to punish now, answer questions later." Girl Carrow begins to gleam with excitement.

I scoff, "A meeting? Really? With who?"
The twins look at each other before returning their attention to me, "It's none of your concern."

I laugh, "... he didn't tell you, did he?"
They both grew quiet.

I smirk, "Let's go see what that meeting is about, shall we?"
I begin to walk in the direction of his office, with the Carrow twins right behind me.

-

Snape sat at his desk, reading the letter he received from Draco, just moments ago:

Snape,

I'm sure she's already told you what has happened, and I know it's bold of me to ask this of you,... but I'd like to see her.

I know she's not herself lately, I've been notified.

Just let me talk to her. If you're able to grant me access to enter Hogwarts undetected for one night, that would be appreciated.

D. M.

Snape begins to contemplate whether it's a good idea for Joy's mental health to be seeing Draco right now.

He begins to write back to Draco, until the devil barges into his office.

-

I huff, "I told you he wasn't in a meeting." I walked though the entrance of Sev's office and see that he's only sitting on his desk doing paperwork.

"What are you doing here? You should have knocked." Snape looks up at me and pushes his parchment to the side.

I stood to the side of his desk, facing the Carrow twins who were just catching up to me, "Tweedle dee and Tweedle dumb here keep ruining my fun." I cross my arms across my chest.

Girl Carrow tries to explain to Snape, "We have witnessed her breaking Education Decree No. 435: No public displays of affection in the corridors."

Snape looks at me and raises his eyebrows in question, "And who may I ask was your partner in crime?"

I shrug my shoulders and answer honestly, "I can't remember his name."

Boy Carrow begins to plead, "She has already broken 15 decrees this week! She must be punished, regardless of your bias."

I scoff and turn to Snape, "Can't I just tell them?"

Snape looks at me confused, then his facial expression drops. He nods, "Very well, they may be helpful in this situation."

I excitedly smile and face the Carrow twins who looked confused as ever. Their glance switches between Snape and I, waiting for some type of explanation.

I snap my fingers and my appearance changed from Rosie to Joy. Their jaws dropped at the realization.

Snape looks at me in awe, not realizing that I'm now able to do wand-less, non-verbal magic without proper lessons.
I could tell he was looking at me shocked, so I explained to him, "Cool, right? I'm getting more powerful each day."

His eyes went from shocked to worried, thinking his plan needs to sped up and that time was running out.

The Carrow twins drop their heads in guilt, "Joy, please forgive us. We had no idea."

I chuckle and walk towards them, "Of course you didn't, I'm good at what I do. If I wanted to stay hidden, I can."

I walk around them slowly and in an intimidating vibe, "Now you know that you can't touch me... or else you'll be punished. Understood?"

They both nod their heads.

"Inform Snape and I if you hear of any movement or mentioning of Harry Potter immediately," I command, "You're dismissed."

They both quickly walk out of Snape's office and I take a seat on an empty chair.

"What... was that?" Snape slowly asks.

I shrug my shoulders, "What? They're Death Eaters, they should know that I'm here with them, watching and observing."

Snape rolls his eyes, "Not that." He scoots his chair closer and leans against the desk, "Why are you having... intimate relations... in the school corridors?"

I smirk, "Aw, is this uncomfortable for you, Uncle Sev?" I start to giggle.

Snape tried to stay on topic, "What about Mr. Malfoy?"
I squint my brows, "What about him? He broke up with me. I'm free to do whatever I want with whoever I want."

Snape sighs, "This is unhealthy, Joy."

I stand up and reply, "That's what makes it fun." I start to walk toward the exit and leave the office.

Snape pulls the parchment that he was previously writing on to the front of him as he begins to write:

Draco,

Saturday night. 8 o'clock.
My office.

Snape.
