Arrogant - cuz i got a reason

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara shook her head and sighed.  "Gin, honestly, he's not really worth it, I mean, his worthless hide is going to be nowhere rather my father takes control or not."  She stated quite seriously.  "He hides behind his money, his father's reputation and as well it seems, the strength he has at being close to me all the time."  She continued as if Draco wasn't even in the room with them.  "Hell, if it wasn't for the FACT that my father was so d**ned closely connected to his, he'd probably been kicked out of the school by now, but alas, seeing as though we have to keep Lucius happy..." She stifled a giggle.  "Our wittle Draco gets to continue his free ride."  She finished with a largely dramatic sigh.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny grinned at Kiara, made a face a Draco and looked back at Kiara.
"So, Kiara, what alls been going on with you lately?" She asked. partly to ignore Draco, and partly because she hadn't talked to Kiara in a long while.

[draco294]

"Well, yes Kiara," Draco said. "It will do everyone very much good to keep my father..and me..happy. But..oh yes, I am very much worth it. And I most certainly will not end up nowhere," he finished, matter of factly..and ignoring Ginny.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny didn't even acknowladge that Draco had spoken. In fact, as far as she was concerned, he didn't exist at the moment. She had a knack for ignoring people compleatly.

[draco294]

"Ugh. Filthy stupid mudblood appreciater," Draco said, in reply to being ignored.

[Xaver]

"Ugh. Filthy stupid mudblood appreciater."

Xaver scowled.

It had been a long day.
A filthy, rotten, shi++er of day, what with the almost overwhelming load of politics and monstrosities that war challenged, and, though the Fallen lord had yet to have lost a battle, he felt, in his own personal realm, that he'd had the wind beaten out of him. -- Xaver's home realm was at war with a neighboring realm, two sides of a similar blade, but seperated by a sharp edge of betrayal and hatred that leaked as far back as to his own great ancestry.
..And Xaver hated it.
He blamed himself, because in truth, the war was partially his fault. And though he'd paid his reparations a thousand times over, even, he was not a man to forget that all said carnage, all that dispair - was partially his own doing. His own mistake...

It was not a cheery thought to be condemned with, even if it had been over three years since the beginning of the war.
It haunted him.


Perhaps, that was why Draco's comment irritated him so.


Xaver appeared out of literal no-where, directly in front of him, his jaw clenched, and the depths of his deep blue eyes burning with an unspoken rage, and dark threat. He was a drastically good looking male, lean of body, compact - a whipcord of lithe strength and fierceness, his features prominant - he was a beautiful creature, but so that was in no way effeminate. He was clad in dark shoes, black pants, and a button-down, navy shirt that accented his eyes handsomely. A black cloak, thick, and made of material not from the world around them, rested upon his shoulders, the bottom-most hem skimming the ground at his heels.
He was one to easily draw gazes, and, had he been smiling, that scarily severe, sharp look of animal instinct would surely have dissapated.
But there was no smile.
No warmth to him even as blue fire traced the outline of his fingers, and then was gone, just as quickly.


"Boy, you had best learn your manners. For such atrocities, as do they even easily come out of your mouth, do draw attention."
Xaver brought his hand up, at his side, palm up, and for a moment, a flame, black as death and threatening of everything that had to do with it, licked wildly, before coiling about his fingers, and disappearing again.
"And said attention, I can assure you.."
His hands twitched, very slightly, the anger, the half-demon within him almost liking the confrontation, where the man in him stomped the excitement quickly. His eyes slowly flickered to meet the other's eyes.
"Such attention, you do not want."


Xaver nodded his head, once, sharply, then simply turned away from the other male, padding toward the girls, then stopping, after a few steps. He bowed, then when he straightened, the hellish look that had accented his gaze was gone, replaced by his old affectionate, boyish charm.
He nodded to Kiara, in greeting, before his eyes settled on Ginny, saying everything he could not word, even if for only at the moment. He smiled, a small, content smile.

"Ginny."

[draco294]

Draco simply laughed smugly and rolled his eyes.  ::) "Riight. Well, as a matter of fact I do want that attention. If I get it from just expressing my thoughts...which are completely correct by the way. Mudbloods are filthy and disgusting. Not to mention, a disgrace," he finished arrogantly, with a smirk.

[Xaver]

Xaver snarled slightly, turning on his heel and facing Draco.

"Says the racist, pompous prick."

Xaver folded his arms, and shook his head.

"Besides the Weasleys, and maybe Kiara, here, I do not know a single pureblood, or whatever you mortals call them, that are not in their own way filthy. Wasn't it your father who was just recently put in prision?"

He shook his head.

"I am almost pure Fallen. I know a lot of people like yourself, Draco - arrogant and spoilt. In your case, I say it's unfortunate. ..But inbreeding does that to people, does it not?"

Xaver scowled.

[draco294]

Draco stared at Xaver and dropped his jaw slightly. "How dare you speak of me, my father, or anyone else of my family in such a way! But I must say you're wrong. Did you say the Weasleys were not filthy? Ha. Yeah right....Have you met them? Or even seen them?...Oh and about my Father being put in prison, well that was just unfair..and uh..er..a mistake! But I guess I cant blame you too much for all you've just said. Like my father says, its just jealousy," Draco finished, trying to sound as confident as he had earlier.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny raised her eyebrows at Draco.
"I'm filthy?" She half whispered, acting compleatly shocked. She shook her head.

"Hey, at least my hair isn't held down by grease because I never wash it." Ginny said, reaching up and tugging a strand of her red hair. It was something that even people who wanted her dead said was pretty. Few people outside of her family had hair like hers.

[Xaver]

He almost laughed when the boy's jaw dropped. He'd forgotten so much, in all his time away. He'd forgotten what amusement was like, even if it was even so grim.

Xaver cast a glance Ginny's way, and almost found himself smiling.
How he'd missed her.
He watched her reach up and tug a lock of her own red hair, and he shook his head, just slightly, the dark blues of his eyes cooling, some of that anger disappating. Which was a good thing for Draco. A VERY good thing.


"Oh, I've seen them," he growled back at Draco, facing him again. "And though you have looked upon them, I know you NEVER have, truly."
He turned his head, and gave a small, barely-there smile.
"And they're not filthy in the least. Though, I may be a bit biased."

A small fraction of his old warm, joking nature returned into his tones for just a moment, and he winked her direction, before looking back at the boy, his features chilling once again.


"...Oh and about my Father being put in prison, well that was just unfair..and uh..er..a mistake! But I guess I cant blame you too much for all you've just said. Like my father says, its just jealousy.."

"If they've got a dark man in a dark cell, I can hardly call that a mistake."
Xaver shook his head, and smoothed down the front of his silken shirt, the contours of his finely honed abdomen rippling the surface. He looked up again.
"Jealous?"
He made a face, his expression darkening.
"Boy, I've nothing to be jealous of, of you. You think you've got money? I have a thousandfold of you bank's. You think you have power? I now am in power of a kingdom. You think you know people? I know people who know the gods themselves."
Xaver shook his head once more, steeling himself.
"No, I am not jealous of you. For those are the only things you have, and I can better you on all counts. -- What I envy? I envy families like the Weasleys'. I envy the trust and companionship I have seen here - and though I've only glimpsed it.. I know I've come across something far more powerful than wealth, and greed, and position. There are far greater things. Never judge someone by all that they have -- but by who they are when it's all done and gone."

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny tore her eyes from Xaver, which was a hard thing for her to do, and looked at Draco. She actually felt sad for this boy. He had no real friends and his family despised each other for some reason or the other.

[draco294]

Draco's face turned red, as he was now fuming with anger. "It was a mistake that they put my father in jail! But I do agree that he is a dark man. I look up to him so dearly for that. I can only hope that I will honor the Dark Lord as much as he does. And I must say, I am well on my way," Draco said, finishing with a smile. "And another thing, you should be very very jealous of me. I can tell you are, though. Everyone is. Oh and..one more thing for me to mention. The Weasley's are very much filthy. The lot of them. With there microscopic sized house, tattered books, and hand me down robes. How pathetic!," Draco ended with a smirk.

[Ginny Weasly]

"Draco, I havn't worn hand-me down robes since I was a first year. All my books are new, and our house is actually quite large. It fits more than 10 people with room to spare. We updated when my dad got his new job. Besides that, while I agree that my brother Percy is a filthy git, Ron, Charlie and Bill are not in any sense dirty. Fred and George may be at times because of what they do, which is basically blowing stuff up, but that has nothing to do with us in any way." She knew her words were falling on deaf ears, but she felt she had to say it. If he was going to insult her, the least he could do was get his facts straight.

[draco294]

"Pfft. Whatever. You know, its really kind of pathetic how you seriously dont find your family filthy! Well, I'm sure you know it deep inside yourself but are just too ashamed to admit it but still..." Draco said with a smirk. "But dont worry. I understand you being jealous of my family. We have so much more than you and are that much better," he added, arrogantly.
