A.N. This is the Draco chapter that you've all been waiting for. It's not much... Sorry. I'm pretty sure most of you will forgive me when you read ch 6 though XP.. Hee-hee... This is pretty much just Draco's "journal" (it's really a diary, but Dracie's in denial...) and I threw in a few entries from Jordan's diary too, just to give you another P.O.V. Oh, and the entries skip about a bit... (sorry it's a bit short...)
dracochick: Thanks for catching those errors for me. I was typing SUPER fast so that I could get to my next class on time AND still be able to update for you guys, so I missed some things (and was still late for class -sweatdrop-). MIA stand for missing in action. (OF COURSE Tom Felton is hot! To die for... -dies- just kidding.)
The-Ever-Lazy-One: Close your eyes and imagine this. James and Lily dying and then James finding out that his only son is going to be raised by wizard-hating evil Muggles. See there? That's the part where James starts hurting people.
ura-hd: You want Draco? Here he is... no touchie though, just lookie (or readie).. lol.
Chapter 5- Journals
Draco's Journal:
July 2nd
Mother suggested that I keep this journal as a way to "vent my anger". What anger? Anger towards what? I suspect that there's something that she's not telling me.
Jordan, Jonathan and Jesse Lestrange arrived today. They'll be staying here again while Bellatrix and Rodolphus are in Azkaban again (with my idiot of a father).
Jordan and Jonathan are both pains really. I don't mind Jesse so much. He keeps to himself (and the library). Shame that he's the one who doesn't have to be here. The twins though- polar opposites, and I hate them both. Jordan's a hyper pain in the arse, and Jon's... just a pain in the arse period. Cocky bastard too. Reminds me of father.
July 5th
I found out what "anger" mother thought I should express in this journal (she calls it a bloody diary.) I was right. She was hiding something. Something big. Really big. And she hasn't even told me all of it yet.
I'm engaged. That's right. Arranged marriage. She said it wasn't her choice. Said it's not her fault, it's father's. I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm not sure if I believe her.
I figured this would probably happen eventually. After all, father and mother were an arranged couple. At least if father has anything to do with it, she'll be a pure blood. We're undoubtedly related. If it's Jordan, I swear, I'll kill someone. Probably Jordan. I hope she's at least hot. My future wife, I mean, not Jordan (gag.)
July 7th
OH MY GOD
July 9th
Third day of locking myself in my room since that evil bitch I call "mother" ruined my entire life. Not that my asshole of a father didn't help, because he did, of course.
I'm not marrying Jordan, oh no. I'm not even marrying a WOMAN. No, I'm getting married to a MAN and his name is HARRY POTTER. That's right. I'm marrying Harry bloody Potter!
Mark my words, someone will pay.
Jordan's Diary:
July 2nd
Dear Diary,
Today Jon an' Jess an' me arrived at the Malfoy Manor 'cause mum and dad are in prison. I had almost forgotten how really big it is.
Draco glared at me all day. I don't think he likes me very much. Jesse's very at home in the library once again and has gotten lost twice already. Jon's pacing in the hall and I already wen to go visit Chester (my strawberry roan) in the stable.
Love Jordan
July 9th
Dear Diary,
Draco finally came out of his room today. He walked straight into the den and tried to curse Aunt Narcissa. Auntie locked him in his room and started to cry. I wonder what's going on?
There was a lot of yelling going on after dinner. Jesse said that it was grown-up stuff, but Draco was involved, and I'm older than he is... (?)
Love Jordan
July 10th
Dear Diary,
Auntie started crying again whole she was teaching me French, only I couldn't understand her because this time she was babbling in a different language. I think it was Latin. I only understood one word, "Damnare". That means damn. She also said Draco and Lucius a few times. She mentioned a 'Lily' and I don't know who that is. Maybe she meant Lily Evans (now Potter, only she's dead) who was her best friend in school. But why...?
Love Jordan
July 19th
Dear Diary,
Today was Jesse's 21st birthday, only he didn't remember that (he's so forgetful), so his surprise party was a DOUBLE surprise.
Draco cam down for a few minutes and even wished Jess a happy birthday (he didn't look too happy though, Draco I mean), then he went back to his room all sulky like. At least he didn't try and curse anyone. (And Auntie didn't cry, like last time Draco came into the room.)
Love Jordan
Draco's Journal:
July 19th
It was Jesse's 21st birthday today, and since he's the only one in the house that I don't currently hate, I went downstairs to say happy birthday.
Mother looked shocked, Jordan looked giddy, Jon was livid (gee, guess he hates me too), and Jesse looked like he'd forgotten that he even had a birthday. Boy is he easy to surprise.
July 21st
I came downstairs to speak with mother today. She looked like she'd seen a ghost. But... maybe I forgive her. Like she explained today, it's father's fault, not hers.
Apparently Potter will be here in 10 days, on his birthday. Joy. Mother says he won't even know about the engagement until right before he comes. Ha-ha.
July 30th
Potter will be here tomorrow. All I have to say is, they can make me marry him (I think...), but they can not make me be nice to him (or even speak to him).
August 1st
He's heeerrrre. Hoo-rah. I saw him last night. Showed him to his room, actually. He looked like he'd seen a ghost. Maybe I've died and didn't know it because everyone has that expression around me anymore (ok, just mother and Potter). Mother got all cozy with him right away. Made cookies and all. Maybe she should marry him.
