[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.

You may do the same should you for some reason need it.

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.

Right. And are you often home?
[nothing about this exchange doesn't feel sketchy and illicit to Draco... lord almighty.]

[ He may be a snob but he's young. He's allowed for a few more years, at least. ]

[Draco looks increasingly dubious. does this girl just send strange people to her friend and let her deal with them...]

[ Apparently, yes. ]

...Barbara. Alright then. See you around, I suppose.
