"Why is it that I can't stop thinking about you? About how absolutely breathtaking you are? About how beautiful you look on those pretty little knees of yours?"

Thump. Thump. Thump.
"Where the bloody hell are you, huh?" a muffled voice whispered.
I shifted in my half-sleeping state, lifting my head to search for the source of the sound. I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my eyes, attempting to clear my blurry vision.
"What?" I groaned groggily, lazily scanning the room around me, spotting a man with fiery red hair standing in the corner.
"I-I, uh, hello Mr. Malfoy," rushed Percy Weasley, hitting his arm on the table beside him.
I rolled my eyes, running my hands through my hair. "What the fuck are you doing in here Percy," I looked down at my watch, "Dear Merlin, it's 7 AM." I spat out.
I reached underneath my desk, grabbing my briefcase in a hurry.
"I was checking up on you, Mr. Malfoy. I never saw you leave and I got a bit worried."
"Get the fuck out, Percy. I don't care for your shitty excuses," I hissed, yanking open the latch as I pulled out a piece of parchment.
"M-my apologies, Draco," he whispered, stumbling out the door.
I watched as he closed the door behind him, pulling out a quill and bottle of ink from one of my drawers. Dipping my quill into the fresh bottle, I looked back down at the piece of parchment in front of me,
Astoria,
I apologize for not coming home last night, I know you're likely worried about my wellbeing. It seems I had a bit too much to drink and ended up sleeping in my office. I suppose that was the wiser choice, overall.
I hope you're doing well over at the Manor, I will return tonight, I assure you. Until then, I wish you luck in your party planning and look forward to the festivities you will share with my colleagues and me.
If there's anything I can do to help alleviate some of the burdens, do not hesitate and ask. I understand how difficult it can be to plan such an extravagant party in such a short period of time.
I'll be with you soon,
Draco
I drop the quill beside me, folding the letter neatly in on itself. Opening the drawer beside me, I pull out an envelope.
I pick up my quill, writing the word Astoria on the side, and slip the letter inside. I quickly seal it, pushing my chair back as I stood up.
