[the entry starts with Draco suddenly leaning away from the stationary screen, looking relatively bewildered—and not looking at the camera, because he doesn't know what that is or where to find it. he leans back forward, observing the screen, and gives it an uncertain little tap. he mumbles, a little.]
Is it working, then?
[he rolls his eyes and sighs.]
Feel like a sodding idiot... Well, here goes.
[and, unsure if this is properly doing its thing or not, Draco just hopes that it's working so that he's not literally talking to a wall. Draco seems to decide looking at the screen is probably the best course of action, as he talks—so to those viewing him, his eyecontact isn't direct, but hey, it's not too off!]
Some of you've already met me; my name is Draco Malfoy. I'm a somewhat recent arrival for this embarrassment of a city.
[and, as is characteristic of his house, Draco gets straight to business.]
I heard this was probably the easiest way to contact people conveniently, since there's no other option. I'm looking for a partner—someone to rely on when I start to get ill.
[he prays people get his meaning.]
That said, besides obviously helping the health of whoever steps up to the task, you won't be doing this for nothing. I'm a wizard—I know magical abilities aren't incredibly uncommon around here, but there's a fair bit of magic that can be incredibly convenient in the—[Draco half scowls, half winces,] domestic scheme of things, I guess...
Anyway—a simple exchange of information, such as where we're living or places we frequent, and trust enough to find one another as necessary is all I ask.

...Someone from home, but we've—got a bad history, to say the least. Not to mention we sort of hate each other with a fine, justified passion. [he says this because he knows to, but he's not really sure what her feelings are anymore. but whatever.]
So: yeah, I guess so—but alternative candidates would certainly be ideal.
video
You reap what you sow, kid. I doubt I'm much higher on your list.
video
Certainly not, to be quite honest, but you're a stranger; she's been an enemy of mine for many years. It's a bit more complicated than merely not getting along.

On second thought, this place is an absolute blessing. Lovely time to be alive.
video
video
How d'you know that?
[his question is secretly self conscious and aware—honestly, he'd gotten that impression from her himself.]
video
She volunteered, so obviously she cares at least a little bit, even if it's just from one human being to another. To think of someone you hate, someone who's hurt you, as a person and not just a predator? That requires some degree of getting over yourself.
video
That or she's eager to pat herself on the back for being such a damn martyr. All Gryffindors—erm, her type—are like that.

Right. And if you're not a viable option for me, then you'd best just keep your thoughts to yourself.

[Draco sounds impatient. but doesn't he always.]
video; I'll just put you out of your misery then
video; lmao please god. sorry for blowing up your inbox. GEE
Brilliant.
What's your name?
video; psssh it was only four emails, that's nothing
video; haha
Likewise, I suppose.

Now that that's done with: I'm in apartment 2-06, building 2. Where're you?
video;
video;
You may do the same should you for some reason need it.
video;
That was sarcasm. If you couldn't tell. I'm room 2-12, but I'm a deep sleeper so don't expect me to answer the door late at night.
video;
Right. And are you often home?
[nothing about this exchange doesn't feel sketchy and illicit to Draco... lord almighty.]
