Draco

I was pretty sure Pansy was up to something but I didn't have the energy to figure it out. I drank my coffee (Caffeine, what a lovely invention for non-morning people) but it didn't taste quiet the same. I shrugged it off; the house elves must have changed their brand of coffee.

Now that I had my third cup of coffee I can finally face the world. Blaise, Greg and Vincent were all leaving for home these holidays, just leaving Pansy, Theodore and me with a few of other Slytherins from different years behind. Oh joy.

OoO

After saying goodbye to my fellow dorm mates I sat on my bed with the novel I've been dying to finish for three days now but just didn't have any free time to do so lately. Finally I wait no longer.

I only finished reading one page when I felt funny. But not funny 'ha ha' but funny 'weird', like I was growing smaller. I looked down in horror to see, what the hell is that? I realise with a start that it was fur. I'm growing fur?! I started to panic and even more so when I felt my body shift and change. It was bloody painful. I let out a scream but unfortunately no one heard it.

Soon the pain went away and I looked around me. Why did everything now look big? When did the world suddenly grow bigger? Or did I grow smaller? I felt a shot of panic go through me again, increasing the amount that I already felt, but I squished it quickly. Malfoys do not panic, they just lose their self-control for awhile. Breath in, breath out. Slow and calm. Okay, now let's figure this out. I'm small, the world is big. I look down to see paws. Snow white paws. My worst nightmare has come true! I've turned into a ferret! Again! My breaths started to come out in short little gasps.

"Hey Draco, do you think you could help me with something?" Pansy's voice came floating into the room. I would have hid but I was in too much panic to do anything. How could I have turned into a ferret again? Wasn't once enough?!

"Draco?" Pansy poked her head into the room, looking around. Her eyes finally landed on me and grew wide. "Uh oh."

'Uh oh'? What does she mean by 'Uh oh'?

"I'm so sorry Draco!" she said quickly, coming into the room and staring at me with a panic look in her brown eyes. Now you see, normal people panic. Malfoys do not panic.

She rubbed her face and groaned. "This shouldn't have happened. Why did this happen? You're not meant to turn into a cat, let alone a kitten! Oh, I am so dead."

Wait, did she saw 'kitten'? Hallelujah and praise Merlin! I am not a ferret!

I laughed in relief but when I tried to it came out weird, like a husky sort of sound.

Pansy just kept on looking at me with wide eyes; it was starting to get creepy.

Biting her lip, Pansy started thinking to herself. Out loud. While walking back and forth. Merlin, I hated when she does that.

"Okay, okay. It's okay. He's just a kitten. That's fine, right? Right. So, how is this going to fit into my plan? I can ask Blaise." She shook her head. "No, he'll tell Nott and I do not want him to look all smug and have that 'I told you so' look on his face. Plus, Blaise is probably already on the train. Okay, so I'm still going to go solo. That's fine. Solo is fine. Solo is perfect." She cast me a worried look before continuing to pace. "But how does Draco the Cat fit into this? I now need a new plan, but what? Make an antidote and start from the beginning? No, that will take too long."

She sighed and plonked herself on my bed, almost crushing me in the process. I huffed, or huffed as much as a cat could, and curled up on my pillow, feeling rather content to and not worried all that much about turning into a cat.

That is until she started petting me. I growled softly and tried to get away from her hand but the problem is it felt too nice to move away. Bloody cat instincts. So I let her stroke me, just for the sake of the cat inside of me.

I was just staring to enjoy it when Pansy released a squeal. I gave a start of surprise and the glared at her when she moved her hand away and gave an even more violent start when she jumped up with a huge creepy grin on her face.
