Draco Malfoy was having a Very Bad Day.
He'd woken up stiff-necked and poorly rested. His hair standing up straight from his pillow, it refused to cooperate, refused to lay down flat, even after a shower and nearly half a bottle of hair gel. He'd had another dream and it had left him cranky and humiliated and sticky, for Merlin's sake, and feeling horribly like a sullen twelve year old child.
He'd dressed, glared and squirmed his way through breakfast, through lunch, through dinner and everything in between. Avoiding every familiar face, he'd sulked in his room, and later hid in a corner of the basement rec room, hidden behind a heavy book.
"This is ridiculous!" he sneered to himself, tossing the book angrily to the floor, unmindful of any curious looks he might have drawn.
He emerged, finally, stubbornly facing the world, marching up to the bookcase and pulling out the first book his fingers touched.
A Wizard's Guide to Enchanting Sex
He let out a frustrated growl, shoving the book back onto the shelf and reaching for another. But they were all the same. Rows and rows of them, one after another. Instructional and recreational and downright obscene. Pornography with magical creatures and broomsticks and pretty teenage witches and old crones. With centaurs and burly wizards and everything imaginable. Some with pictures and some without. Video reels too.
Scrubbing a hand over his face, he took a deep breath and then another, willing them to disappear. To leave him alone, for once. But when he opened his eyes, there they were, mocking him. Laughing at him.
Spinning on his heel, calmly, he marched toward the kitchen in search of a pack of matches.
Incendio would've come so in handy at that moment.
[[Please, stop him from lighting the rec room on fire. He doesn't really mean to do it... Probably. So, believe it or not, Draco's a lonely twenty year old man, and the bookcase has gotten wind of that fact. Open to all, just remember... It's Malfoy. All the usual warnings apply. ST/LT always welcome.]]
