A knock sounded at the door and Draco looked at the door. The others looked at him since he was closest.
"You three actually expect *me* to get it?" Draco asked.
Hermione got up and answered it, sensing that if she didn't it would have never gotten opened. The smiling face of 4th year Ginny Weasley looked at her.
"Hi Hermione!" Ginny exclaimed. "Can I sit with you guys until we get to Hogwarts?" Ginny obviously didn't notice Draco.
Hermione looked over at Draco. It *had* been his compartment before they had come in. He shrugged and reopened his notebook.
"Sure!" Hermione exclaimed.
Ginny looked skeptically at Draco. "Isn't that Draco Malfoy?" She whispered and Hermione nodded.
"Of course he is."
"Why are you sitting with him?"
"Because he was kind enough to share his compartment with us." Hermione made it sound like Draco had really done something nice.
"Oh." Ginny took a tentative step inside and slid into a seat near Harry. "Hi Harry. Hi Ron."
Draco noted for once she didn't blush when looking at Potter. Perhaps she had stopped liking him or maybe just gotten over being so shy.
He didn't really like being left out of the conversation. "No hello for me?" He said and fixed his cold stare on her.
"Oh. Um hi Malfoy." She said.
"Can't really expect much from a Gryffindor..." He muttered in response.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Just that I *do* have a first name and for once I'd enjoy it if someone used it instead of *'Malfoy'* Sure it's my surname and all but I do occasionally liked to be called Draco."
"Ok well hello... Draco." Ginny said hesitantly.
Draco studied her for a moment. Why is it they always hesitated before actually saying his name? Was it they didn't like his name? Or did they think it was funny and just not want to laugh.
~ The youngest Weasley is here. Ginny I think her name is. She like all the others paused before saying my damn name! What is so wrong about my name?! Draco... I see nothing wrong with it! But is it only because I've had to deal with it my whole life that I see no problem with it? Maybe when I'm old enough I'll have it changed - but no father'd cut me off then telling me about dishonoring the family. It's not my fault they gave me this stupid name. Reminds me of my school before Hogwarts. All of the kids had decent names and then there was Draco. Draco the smart boy with the stupid name that no one liked. Sure the girls liked the way I looked but the boys all joked me. "You're so pale!" I heard that all the time and the laughing. All the fucking laughing. You'd think it'd be enough to get top marks in everything but no! They even made fun of me for that! They called me a wuss and other things just because I was smart! And that was when I made father take me out of school and get me a private tutor. Then I met Crabbe and Goyle shortly before Hogwarts and knew they'd be perfect for the job of ensuring no one laughed at me. But I had been working on more than just my lessons those years alone. I had been perfecting my personality and my curses. Now no one would ever mess with me! ~
He saw them looking at him again. "What?"
"What are you writing?" Hermione asked.
"None of your damn business, Granger."
They looked slightly amazed. 'Christ, they act like they've never heard a swear word in their life!' Or it could always be the fact it *was* the perfect Draco Malfoy swearing. But no that couldn't be it. After all he used the word 'Mudblood' quite frequently.
Draco looked back at his book.
~ I must remind myself not to swear around then again. Wouldn't do to have them go into shock over it. I bet that little Weasley girl has heard all sorts of swears with those twins her brothers. I've heard some of the things they say and well it's even worse than most things I've ever said. Well I suppose I'm done for now. I can't wait until I meet that Xzura girl or whatever her name is. I must remember not to call her 'Riddle' though. That'd mess everything up I'm sure. Perhaps the train shall stop soon and we'll arrive. ~
