A Baby Snake

Draco?!

"How do you want to get revenge on Malfoy?" "Shut up Ron, I've already got a plan. You distract Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle while I put this potion in his food." Harry replied.

"What potion-" Ron started. "Hiccoughing solution. It should make him hiccup the whole day." Harry replied. Ron nodded and went closer to the Slytherin table. "Oi! Ferret! Are you and your servants doing well?!" Ron called.

"We aren't servants!" Crabbe and Goyle spat. "Go after him." Draco ordered. "I'm gonna check something." Harry had already put the potion in the food. He smiled. 'I can't wait 'till he hiccups like crazy in front of-' he started thinking when all of a sudden... BANG!

Harry looked to see Draco's food gone, but Draco was also gone. "What happened?!" Snape ordered. "What was that sound?! Where is-" "S-siwr? W-whewre am I?" Snape was interrupted by someone. He felt tugging on his clothes and looked down to see... a 3-year-old kid, so scared and innocent.

'Wait. Is that Draco?!" Harry thought. "S-siwr? Can you hewp me go back howme? My Father i-is going to get m-mad at me f-for being hewre a-alone..." The kid said. "What is your name?" Snape asked.

"M-My Father said n-not to talk to s-stwangers..." The kid replied. "It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you." Snape said, reaching out his hand. The kid flinched, as if expecting to get hit by the hand. Snape frowned. "S-sowwy..." the kid said.

"D-Draco?" Harry stepped out of his hiding spot. "Who awre you? How do you know my name siwr?" The kid (or Draco) asked. "Draco, how old are you..?" Harry asked. "T-twee..." Draco replied.

"My name is Harry, I'm gonna be taking care of you for the day." "D-did Father say y-yes?" Draco asked. "Yes, he did Draco. Now, let's go get changed." "B-but father said I onwy weawr bwack, white, gway, and gween..." Draco explained. "Well, today is special!" Harry smiled. "Let's go!"

Draco looked at Snape one last time. "P-Pwease don't tell m-my father dat I tawk to stwanger... He get mad and use c-cwucio on me..." he told Snape. "I promise." Snape said. Draco smiled and carefully walked to Harry.

"Potter. The reversal potion may take a month or two. Do not let him get hurt. You may be excused from your classes with permission from me." Snape said in his usual monotone voice. Harry nodded. "Thank you professor." He said. "If he does get hurt, you'll regret it." Harry's eyes went wide.

A few moments later

Draco was exploring the place, running from one place to another, when suddenly he stopped and started walking back to Harry. "Sowwy, I-I fowrgot I not s-supposed to wrun..." He explained.

Harry looked at the small child. 'What did Lucius do to scare this child so much?' He wondered. Harry then told Draco, "I told you already, today is special, you can do whatever you want." Draco's eyes lit up. "T-thank you!" He smiled. Harry smiled back.

Harry realized something. "Draco, can we go to the headmaster for a minute?" He asked. Draco nodded. They got there in about 15 minutes.

"Lemon Drops." Harry said. The statue turned to reveal a staircase and Harry walked up to the door. "Draco, do you want to knock?" He asked. "Yes! Dwaco wans knock!" Draco smiled. "Come in." Dumbledore's voice came.
