Draco POV- eighth year

"Right, class, today we will be putting what we've learnt about the de-ageing spell to use on chickens. We will be turning them from adults to chicks. Is everyone clear?" McGonagall says, and everyone nods their heads. I stifle a groan. I've always been good at transfiguration, but never liked it. Perhaps it's because I shared the class with the Gryffindors, who I hate oh so much. Or maybe I pretend to. To be honest, I'm not sure anymore. Especially in the case of one particular Gryffindor, with stupidly gorgeous raven hair and irritating heart-warming smile and stupid dazzling green eyes.

"Now, this particular spell has an antidote, however said antidote, although works on humans, takes much longer to prepare and even longer to take full affect. So, whatever you do, do not hit one of your classmates with this spell. Understood?" A chorus of 'yes professor,' rings throughout the classroom. "Excellent. Let's get started. In pairs to practice, I would like Mr Malfoy and Mr Zabini," yes! "Mr Weasley and Miss Parkinson," I glance at Pansy, and see her groan in appropriate despair, "Miss Granger and Mr Finnegan, Mr Potter and Mr Nott-"

Everything goes fairly smoothly, until Theo and Potter start to quietly bicker next to Pansy and the Weasel. Then Theo gives Potter a final hard shove, and, almost in slow motion, he falls in the direct path of Pansy's spell, which hits him square in the chest.

Before everyone's eyes Potter begins to shrink until he's a small bundle of robes and child. He sits up, green eyes wide and scared, filling with tears. He looks around the classroom, seemingly more confused by the second. And then he simply hitches up his robes and stumbles as fast as he can (which is surprisingly fast) out of the door, quickly followed by Granger and Weasley.

It takes a surprising amount of effort to stay in my seat, and after five minutes of thinking how scared Potter must be and how clueless his friends (namely Weasley) are (and not at all how much closer I can get to Potter), I lose all self control and run after the trio.

A/N first of all, thanks for checking out my book, I really appreciate it! Secondly, I'm sorry about the length of this chapter. I just wanted to give a quick explanation of what's going on, how Harry got de-aged and Draco's feelings for Harry before I actually started. Next chapter is much longer, and will be posted when an appropriate amount of further chapters have been written.
