A Girl Called Xzura
Chapter Six
And the Hat Seals Her Fate
"SLYTHERIN!"
The applause was louder than Draco had heard in years. Even some Ravenclaws were clapping and Draco almost thought he saw a Hufflepuff and a Gryffindor clapping. It wouldn't surprise him though.
As Xzura walked down to the Slytherin table she got several catcalls but ignored them all. Draco finally got a good look at her.
'Isn't bad looking really.' He thought. Her wavy raven-colored hair hung down to shoulders and was up in a ponytail. Her robes weren't lose and unrevealing like Granger's nor as revealing as Parvati Patil's. Overall she wasn't bad but not, in Draco's opinion, pretty enough to cause him to make a fool of himself.
Though he did almost grin as she chose a seat next to him.

That night the Slytherins had a party, at the request of Draco. Nearly all of the Slytherins agreed that Xzura becoming a Slytherin was worthy of a party.
Draco reminded himself not to overdo it though. Last thing he needed, as a prefect, was to have all of the Slytherins hung over on their fist day back.
His father would be proud though. That was one thing he didn't have to worry about. All the other Slytherins could worry about keeping her away from the Gryffindors. It wasn't his problem anymore.
----
Turns out he did end up overdoing it as when he woke up his head felt as though it were splitting in two and there was some 4th year chick sleeping next to him.
"Bloody hell." He said vaguely and massaged his temple. "Gods… make it stop."
The girl next to him groaned as he shook her. After a minute she sat up and looked at Draco wide-eyed.
"Oh my god! Did I..?"
"How the bloody hell am I supposed to know?"
The girl looked down at herself and gave a squeak of surprise before jumping up and taking Draco's blanket with her, looking around furiously for her clothes.
"Hey! Give that back!" Draco said as he pulled a pillow from behind his back and covered himself with it.
"No!"
Draco rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine have it your way." He discarded the pillow and got a wrinkled robe off the floor. After he put it on he went to the closet and pulled a decent one out.
----
On the way down to his first class Draco tried to down half a bottle of muggle aspirin but Pansy stopped him. "Draco you'll get sick!"
He was nearly tempted to say that would be good but then he remembered he had to watch what he said around Pansy. Her and Lucius were "friends." If Draco gave any sign of not being right in the head Pansy would go running to the owlery and mail a letter to Lucius faster than you could say "insane."
Not that it mattered that Lucius was crazier than Draco ever dreamed of being.
After all, what sane man would willingly hand his son over to the dark lord?

A/n: Thanks for reviewing! Next chapter should be up soon. Draco gets pissed off and Xzura sees something she doesn't much like… Whom will she turn to when she discovers perfect Draco Malfoy is just an asshole in disguise?
