"Freak wake up now and get breakfast going," my vehement uncle hollered out. I got up and walked into the kitchen. Slowly I made add for my body still hurt from yesterday's 'punishment.' If you could call it that, all I did was accidentally slightly burn the meal from yesterday. 

Well, today I didn't burn the food for breakfast and didn't get a beating, for once. I did the laundry and the dishes. Then my aunt had me clean Dudley's room, make lunch, and then pull the weeds from the garden. Suddenly I heard some rustling in the shed. So me being me I went to explore said sound. 

When I was in the shed I saw something peculiar. It was a white ferret and a black snake talking. I then noticed that they were staring at me, they looked confused. I decided to talk to the snake since I could. "Hello. What's your name," I asked the snake. It looked at me for a moment and said, "I thought you could recognize your professor."

 Wait a moment, that voice sounds like Snape's. "Professor Snape is that you," I asked him. "Are you stupid, of course, it there another professor that sounds like me," he said. I flinched slightly, which did not go unnoticed by Snape. "Oh, and how is this little guy here," I asked?

"That 'little guy' is Draco,"  He said. "How did you guy's get here and how did you end up like this," I asked putting Draco down. "We aren't exactly sure about that. It's also the middle of the summer so we will have to wait until we get back to school to be transformed back to our selves,"  He said. Oh no, I know what he is thinking that's not going to go well. 

"Okay, I guess that I will keep you here, but I must warn you that my family is not the nicest," I told them thinking of a lie to tell my 'family'. "Yes, I but that they are awful to you. What not enough birthday presents,"  He said more like yelled. I flinched as I whispered, "More like none." 

"What was that," He said with a not so nice tone. "Nothing professor," I quickly said. "I need you both to go into this birdcage. So I can tell my 'family' that it was a project from school," I told and reluctantly they listened.  I got the hose and got them some water and finished the garden. I could feel them watching me. "What are you doing, Potter," Snape asked? "Chores, Sir," I told him. I went inside with the cage and my aunt was ready to freak."What are those things doing in the house," she yelled! 

"I'm sorry but they're a school project. I have to take care of them for the rest of the summer or some wizards will come to inspect the house. I just have to show them I can take care of them, so I'm going to need to feed and water them every day. I can keep them in Dudley's old fishing tank. You won't have to see them all I need is a little food for them," I explained to her.

"Fine but only so I don't have those other freaks come here. And you still have to do the housework around here, got it," She said? "Yes, Ma'ma I understand," I told her. I quickly went up to my new room. It only had my horrible bed, two dressers, a closet with only a few clothes with my Hogwarts things, and a small stand next to the bed with a clock on it. 

 I looked at them and I guess it is not what they expected. I then went and got the old fish tank and cleaned it while putting some things in there for them. A stick that Snape can crawl up, a ball for Draco, and a bowl for water and one for food for them.

I brought in for them and put them in it. "Well, it's the best I could do sorry if it's not comfortable," I told them glancing at the clock, 6:45 already. "Oh no, I'm sorry I have to go make dinner I will be back in an hour or so. Please don't make any noise," I told them.
