After setting his notebook down he resumed his absent-minded staring out the window. He occasionally caught a bit of what the dream team were saying but didn't pay too much attention to it. He preferred to concentrate on the glorious countryside they were passing.
Draco must have fallen asleep because the next thing he remembered was someone shaking him awake.
"Get up, Malfoy!" A voice hissed.
Draco opened his eyes and cringed when he saw it was Hermione shaking him. "Don't touch me!"
She took a step back from him. "Fine. We just wanted to know if you wanted anything off the cart."
Draco's eyes focused on the open doorway and sure enough saw the snack cart was there. As he got up and walked there he made a mental note to take a long shower that night.
"Want anything dear?" The kind witch pushing the cart asked with a smile.
"No I just came out here to admire the hall. Of course I want something," he snapped.
The witch looked taken aback.
"Some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, 2 Chocolate Frogs, 3 Pumpkin Pasties, 5 Licorice Wands, and some Drooble's Best Blowing Gum."
She gave him a funny look but got his snacks for him "That'll be - " She was cut off by him handing her a galleon.
"Keep the change." He grabbed his snacks and headed back to his corner of the compartment.
The three on the other side of the compartment looked at him as he unwrapped a Pumpkin Pasty.
"What are you looking at Weasel?"
Ron appeared to take no notice of the 'Weasel' comment. "You, ferret."
"What's so interesting about me?"
"The fact you just bought all of that junk for just you." Harry cut in.
"Nobody said I was going to eat it all right now." Draco said and that was the end of the conversation for a while.
Draco took a bite of the pasty. His thoughts switched to those of the girl he was to meet today. Draco wondered who in their right mind would have a child with Voldemort. 'Ugh I just hope father doesn't expect me to sleep with her or anything. There's no way she could be a pureblood with Voldemort being a half-blood and all.'
"Malfoy." The word cut into his thoughts.
"Hmm?" He looked the three of them over. He didn't know who had said his name.
"Why're you so quiet?" It was Hermione. Well at least one of them was trying to make pleasant conversation. Harry was still watching him suspiciously and Draco could see the hatred in Ron's eyes.
"Because I have nothing to say. Unlike some people I only talk when I have something intelligent to say."
Ron and Harry sniggered.
"What?" Draco demanded.
"You've said tons of stupid things over the years." Harry said.
"Oh shut up." Draco said it but knew Harry was right. Only Draco considered them more childish than stupid. But he'd never admit that to anyone.
Harry seemed to want to say something more but obviously couldn't think of something. Draco figured Harry didn't want it to look as if he was actually listening to Draco.
"So the famous Harry Potter can follow directions." Draco smirked. He just had to say that.
"Why would I ever listen to you?"
"Because I'm the better wizard." He paused and looked at Ron. "In more ways than one."
"Money isn't everything, Malfoy." Ron hissed.
"Yes looks, charm, and power factor in there somewhere too I suppose."
"Power?" Harry snickered. "What power? You're just a fifteen-year-old rich jerk."
Draco chose his words carefully. "The power to change the wizarding world as you know it."
"And how could you do that?" Hermione demanded.
"With the help of a friend of mine..."
The three exchanged looks. "Who's this 'friend'?"
Draco's voice dropped. "If I told you that, I'd have to kill you."
Harry raised an eyebrow. "Why it isn't like you're in league with Voldemort now." Harry sounded slightly unsure of this though. Ron winced upon hearing the name 'Voldemort'.
"Harry please stop saying that name!"
Draco looked amused. "Scared of Lord Voldemort, Weasley? And Potter, I wouldn't be so sure of that." Then Draco suddenly changed the subject. "Anyone seen my idiots?"
"Idiots?" Hermione asked.
"Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy. You know my idiots?" Draco said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"No."
Ron wasn't going to let them get off the subject quite so quick. "Are you really a death eater now, Malfoy?" Ron asked incredulously.
"Maybe." Draco went back to his snacks.
