Draco heaves another groan than stands up and gets around his desk to open the door, upon opening which he is greeted with a really unpleasant view, his girlfriend standing amongst his terrified employees, he can swear that he saw one of the security guards trembling, shaking his head he looks back at the woman standing in front of him, she can't be taller than 5"6 but wearing 6 inches of heels gives her the added height she needs to look intimidating add to that she is wearing a mean looking grey business suit with the pencil skirt accommodating her slim waist with her brunette hair falling into curls on her back gives her a cool and professional look, Draco pays close attention to her lips as they are painted red today, which means that she is going to be easy to handle, because you know she has got a system of putting on lipstick according to her mood that day, which is really helpful for Draco because red means she is their for business.
"Hello, Astoria, "he greets her pleasantly" what can I do for you on this fine day or should I say night?"
"Yes, hello, Draco, anyway about the problem, I need your help with something, "Astoria says while walking past him to sit on the chair in front of his desk.
"Okay, tell me and I would try to help you, "Draco replies walking back to his desk and sitting down.
"So, uh as you know I have some not so innocent clients-. "
"More like devils having fun on the playfield, "Draco cuts off Astoria.
"Yeah, just let me finish okay. "
"Okay"
"So, its just that one of those 'devils' got murdered, "
"And why is that a problem for you?, "
"Well, it is a problem for me because he owed me money, a lot of money, so I am directly under the suspicion of the police, "
"And you want my help to make them go away, "
"Basically, yeah, "
"Okay, so let's just give them an alibi, let's tell them that you-uh, when did the murder happen? "
"This morning, around 5 o'clock, "
"Ugh, who would murder someone at such an ungodly hour? "
"Go ask the murderer, "snaps Astoria," Draco you are not taking it seriously, "
"Okay, now I will take it seriously so you can just basically give them the alibi that you were with me, celebrating our six month anniversary, I heard it is a thing nowadays. "
"Okay, I would tell them that and that you would be available for any questions they, "
"And that is why I find you so annoying, you always love getting me in trouble, "
"Uh-huh, no complaints here, "saying that, Astoria gets up rounds the table pecks Draco on the lips and departs from his office.
Sighing Draco looks at his wrist watch to find that its 11:30 already, all the employee ., all the employees would have already be gone. Looking at his desk he, he can only see unfinished paperwork, deciding to do it later he gets up and takes his briefcase to walk home, his house is only a 15 minutes walk away from his office that's why he prefers to walk here than to take his car besides the walk helps him clear his head. Exiting the offices main door he waves to the half asleep guard. There were still people walking home from their work places, as he is walking across the mouth of an alleyway he thinks he saw movement but dismissing it as a stray cat he moves forward but a sudden crash attracts his attention back to the alley, turning he takes a look inside and to his horror sees a man trying to choke another man, rushing to help the person, Draco runs towards them and hits the person, choking the man, hard on the head with his briefcase. Instead of falling unconscious as Draco had thought, the hit only helps in attracting the man's attention to Draco, slamming the man's head he was choking hard into the wall, the man turns around and steps toward Draco menacingly, Draco seeing no other way around it, steps forward and punches the man on the jaw, the man too shocked by the punch takes a step back but than with rage in his eyes kick out at Draco getting him in the stomach, hunching a little Draco hunches a little and coughs, during all this the man who was getting choked comes out of his daze caused by all the slamming, and with deadly precision steps forward and puts his arm around the man's neck in a headlock and starts to choke him.
"Fucking die already, Hector. "says the man.
Draco stares wide eyed as the man who looked like a scrawny teenager slowly chokes his would-be-murderer to death. Just as the light fades out of the choking mans eyes, Draco gains his voice back.
"Did you-did you just killed him? "
"No, I sang him a lullaby and he fell asleep, of course I killed him. "snaps the man, as he slowly lays the body down on the ground and closes the dead man's eyes with his hand, while his other hand is busy making the cross on his chest as he prays for the dead.
When the man stands up to leave he comes face to face with a shocked Draco, upon realizing who it is that helped him the man starts scowling, Draco too upon seeing the man's face recognizes him from the morning crash.
"What? Never seen a man before?"
"I-I... whay? Of course, I have seen a man before, but not a dead one"
"Than you should get going don't want Mr. Rich Pants to get arrested for murder, do we? "
"What? No, no, I am supposed to tell the police about something like this" Draco says while putting his hand in his jacket to pull out his phone, which is missing as it got broken by the same man standing in front of him.
"Oh, you gonna inform the police? Go ahead, do so let's see who they will arrest first me or you? "
Upon realizing that what the man is saying can be true, Draco scowls at the man and pulls his hand out of his pocket.
As the man starts to turn around to go away, Draco remembers something.
"Hey, you are the man I crashed into this morning, right? "
"Yeah, so what? "snaps the irritated man.
"So what is that I want to know how you know my name"
I don't know your fucking name"
"Like hell you don't, you called me Malfoy" Draco states, not noticing the man's mood change.
"And is it your name? " the man whispers softly.
"Well, yes obviously" snaps a now irritated Draco.
"Than you should know why"
"What? Why would I know anything related to you? "
"Huh, so... You don't know me? "enquires the confused man.
"Am I supposed to know every body I crash into? Cause you seem to be doing the job just fine"
"Wow, wow... You really don't know me? "enquires the man softly.
"No, I don't fucking know you"
"Huh, than it's better that you don't "saying this the man turns to go, but suddenly his shoulder is grabbed by Draco, who in the next second finds himself facing the wall while the man twists his arm behind his back.
"Never touch me without permission" comes the coldly whispered command.
"Okay" Draco whispers with fear evident in his voice, as he remembers that the man behind him had killed another man minutes ago, which Draco seemed to have forgotten because of his small stature.
The man slowly let's go of Draco and than to Draco's surprise starts speaking again.
"I am going to be disposing off the body, don't linger here if you don't want to get in trouble with the police" saying this the stranger starts walking away.
"Wait! "
The stranger turns back in irritation.
"What now?"
"Um, nothing. I just wanted to know your name"
"It's Harry, Harry Potter" the stranger says tiredly.

Reaching home that night becomes a chore to Draco as he slowly comes out of the shock of a man getting killed in front of him, to realize that he just became a criminal, unlocking the door to his apartment on the third floor of an luxury apartment building, Draco's mind wanders back to the intriguing man who killed a man like it was a daily routine to him even in the darkened light of the alley Draco could tell that the man was beautiful, not handsome like all other men but beautiful in the way that a divine creature would be with his messy jet black hair framed around his round face making him look like a teenage boy, but his emerald eyes seem so old and tired, with his aristocratic nose, which gives his face the experience that says that yes he is a man and not a boy, while those small cupid bowed lips with their cherry red colour beg to get kissed. Draco realizes that he is standing in the doorway to his apartment and his only neighbour is staring at him with concern on her face.
"Oh, it's okay, Mrs. Dalphine, don't worry I am okay" after saying this Draco hurriedly enters his apartment and locks the door.
After eating a light dinner and completing his nightly routine Draco gets into bed and tries to fall asleep, which he gets successful at after trying for half an hour, that night all Draco dreamed about was green eyes and dead bodies.
