A Girl Called Xzura
Chapter Four
Nearly there…
Draco must have dozed again because when he awoke this time it was by Potter shaking him. (Hermione dared not touch him anymore!)
"We're almost there, Malfoy." Potter had said curtly then sat back down.
Draco simply shrugged and asked boredly, "that all you wanted to say?" He found himself, however, looking at the little Weasley girl.
Pretty girl she was too. With those freckles and that dark red – 'Holy shit Draco! What's wrong with you?' His thoughts had a familiar voice to them. It was his cousin, Romulus's voice.
To get his mind off the Weasley girl he struck up a boring conversation. "About how long do you think it will be before we arrive?"
Potter and Granger's heads turned towards him. 'Is it that surprising I spoke?'
"Er… About five minutes or so I think."
Gods, why did it always have to be iPotter/i who spoke?
"All right then."
Silence reigned until Draco felt like the silence was closing all around him, smothering him. "Shouldn't you wake them up?"
Under normal circumstances, he would have found it almost odd both Weasleys had fallen asleep on the train. But these were most certainly not inormal/i circumstances.
"I guess that would be a good idea."
Wow! Must be a special occasion! Granger spoke!
Draco watched through cool gray orbs as Harry first shook the Weasel awake then the little girl. He watched carefully as he shook the girl. As hard as he tried he couldn't get his eyes off the girl.
'Focus on something, Draco.'
He half-sighed. The voice belonged to Romulus again. He found it amusing he couldn't give himself suggestions in his own voice. Perhaps it was because he was sane or maybe because he was crazier than the usual person. Though then again… Wasn't there lots of insanity in the Malfoy family?
'Out of my head, Rom. I should be able to make my own suggestions…'
Draco noted vaguely he was talking to himself silently but paid it little attention. That wasn't what mattered. What mattered was the fact he could not for the life of him seem to keep his eyes off the little Weasley girl!
'Time for your ijournal/i Draco.'
'Fucking wonderful, my thoughts mock me now.'
iI'm listening to my damn thoughts now. I just pray in a few years when I've graduated and gotten married I'll be able to pull this thing out and laugh at entries such as these. But I've caught myself looking at the Weasley girl. I think I'm going insane. I mean, how often is it I look at anyone of such status as hers? How about… never? Maybe I just need to get some decent sleep and food. For now I must think about this girl Xzura I'm supposed to meet. How am I expected to pronounce her name?! I'll just let her introduce herself I suppose. My earlier wish still stands. I hope she's pretty enough to look at without wincing./i

A/N: Finally a new chapter! Xzura comes in soon and she's not what you'd be expecting!
