Draco POV
First off I never wanted to go to that stupid little town, but it was either that or join the Dark Lord early. So I took the sensible choice, I went to the town. It was a long ride in a small carriage which tossed me around a bit. While on the ride my father had a little heart-to-heart talk with me, well what he considers heart-to-heart. It went more like this:
"Draco," I wouldn't look at him of course.
"Yes father," which was the only way I could address him.
"You will be sending reports of what happens every week. Don't forget."
"Yes father."
"Your mother also wants you to write her regularly." I could hear the disgust in his voice, he thought mother babied me.
"Yes father."
"Good," the rest of the ride was in silence.
I had expected it to be a trashy little town with barely any economy. It didn't let me down; it had to be the smallest town in the world. I decided to call in Nowhere Ville; I had heard some muggles taking about it. What they said didn't make me want to go there, but I was here and as my mother said, I had to make the best of bad situations. There was one thing that took me by surprise though; it was a rather pleasant surprise too.
The mayor of this small town told me that if I wanted a tour to go to the library, and then he told me that he'd find someone to take me to my cottage later. Don't ask me why, but I did what he said the wind blew across my face as I made my way to the center of town. When I got out of the carriage I had been a bit rumpled so I took the short walk from the road to the library to straighten up. There my pleasant surprise was waiting for me.
The librarian was easy to butter up; within a few seconds she had found me someone to show me around. What I hadn't expected was a girl about my age. Of course that was what the librarian had said, but this was different, I had expected a plain looking girl. Trust me this wasn't a plain looking girl. Dark brown hair trailed down past her shoulders outlining her violet eyes, Maya. You could tell right away that she wasn't from around here. Though something did seem familiar about here, I just couldn't place it.
She showed me around and told me about the history of the town. I pretended to be interested in everything she said; I could put all of this in my letters to my father. If I had to be bored by it, I might as well make him suffer too. One thing that caught my attention was the cottage by the lake. So I wormed her into taking me.
One thing that caught me off guard was the flashlights. I think that was what muggles called them. The damn thing wouldn't turn on no matter where I pressed it. So I just followed her pretending like I didn't need the flashlight. Then things started to get interesting. First she got stuck, and yelled at me to put on my flashlight. I froze for a moment there, the way she said my name reminded me of someone, but I couldn't place it. Then I fell on top of her, a complete accident I swear! Next we got up and she nearly fell into the lake, but I caught her though we lost the second flashlight. Finally I got to hold her hand; well I told her that I couldn't see and we made our way to her cottage.
We were both covered in mud from head to foot, but I couldn't keep a smile off my face. I let her take a shower first, one because I thought that she might like to take a shower first and two because I wanted to take a look around her room. So while she was taking a shower I let myself in.
The room was a nice size; it had white walls and a small bed in the corner. I carefully began my inspection to the right of the bed and made my way around. I would get to the bed last. Something caught my eye and I bent down underneath the bed, the door swung open and Maya came in wrapped firmly in a towel. Immediately I straightened up and she went from white to red in a matter of seconds.
"What are you doing in here?" Her voice was a bit shaky.
"Just looking around," I shrugged trying to make it seem like no big deal.
"Well I have to get changed and it's your turn to shower." I nodded and left the room. There was something in the room, it was probably nothing big, but it caught my interest. Nothing like a good mystery to try and solve in my spare time.
I took a quick shower and jumped out. A towel hung around my waist and my feet left wet foot prints on the ground. I knocked on her door and got a muffled "come in." She was dressed in a pair of jeans and a small tee-shirt. I realized something and froze.
"What is wrong?" She asked looking at me startled.
"I just realized something..."
a/n He he he, a little cliff hanger there. Well I hope you enjoyed it, I know it is a tad short, but I decided to end it there. I don't mind constructive criticism. Please review!
