Potter: A Drarry Fan Fiction

Anguis

When we got back to the house Draco went to have another shower, he said he still didn't feel clean enough after the drying spell, and I wandered into the living room. I found Sirius and Lupin sitting together on the sofa.

Sirius had his arm around Lupin, hugging him towards him and his other hand holding Lupin's leg.

I noticed Sirius looked a lot better compared to at breakfast. He was wearing black eyeliner and had lots of black rubber bands on his wrist. Presumably to tie up his long locks.

"How's it going Harry?" Sirius said invitingly.

"Good, great. Yeah, it's all good" I replied sitting down on the free armchair.

"So how's Minnie McG?" Sirius said before winking.

"You mean Professor McGonagall," Lupin said gently slapping Sirius on the chest.

"She's fine, I guess" I replied shrugging my shoulders.

"I bet she misses me, oh I know she does. I should visit her when I take you back" Sirius said thinking about it.

"I'd bet she'd love it" I chuckled.

Draco strolled in a while later with wet hair.

"I think I want to get a pet snake" he said sitting next to me. I swivelled so that my legs rested across his lap. He began to massage my feet.

"Why in earth would you want a pet snake?" Lupin asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well I like them, I think they're cool" Draco replied shrugging his shoulders.

"I agree, but I don't think they'd let you have a ginormous python slithering through Hogwarts" Sirius piped up.

"I wouldn't get a big one, I'm thinking about getting a smooth green snake. It's really little, about this long" Draco said moving his hands about thirty centimetres apart.

"It's literally so cute, it could fit in my hand or even in my pocket" Draco said getting excited.

"Alright, I'll buy you one" I said stroking his cheek with my thumb. Sirius looked at us proudly.

"Don't worry I'll buy it" Draco announced.

"I thought your parents froze your account" I said in a lowered tone.

"So did I, but I got a letter a few days ago saying my mum had opened it again" he said looking to Lupin and Sirius.

"Sounds great, we can go to Diagon alley this afternoon and get one" Sirius said clasping his hands together.

"What are you going name him Draco?" Lupin asked.

"Anguis" Draco replied.

"Nice, I like the sound of that" Sirius said reaching his hand out for a high five. Draco met his hand with a slap.

He went back to massaging my feet and talking with everyone. It was nice to hear us all laugh. Draco impressed Sirius and worried lupin with his various stories as Slytherin's 'it' boy.

Kreacher brought lunch out on trays to the sitting room so the conversation could keep flowing without interruption. We ate our sandwiches' which were egg mayonnaise, not my favourite, but I wasn't fussy. Draco didn't eat anything but I wasn't too worried, he did manage to eat some toast at breakfast.

Afternoon came and we all went off to get ready. I went back to our bedroom and changed out of my running gear into some dark blue jeans and a faded red hoodie. Draco put on black skinny jeans and his green Weasley jumper.

We walked downstairs to the hall to wait for Sirius and Lupin. Sirius came down the stairs in tight, black, leather trousers, a black tank top with a low neck and his shaggy black coat.

"Where are my boots Moony?" He bellowed up the stairs.

"In the kitchen" Lupin shouted back.

Sirius returned wearing black lace-up combat boots. Lupin then came down wearing a brown tweed suit and brown leather shoes.

"Ready?" He asked.

Everyone nodded. We made our way into the kitchen to use floo powder. I made sure to annunciate, as I didn't want a repeat of my second-year experience.

We all safely arrived in Diagon alley,

"Right, we will be at the leaky cauldron, come and find us when you're finished" Sirius said before taking Lupin's hand and walking off.

"To Gringotts!" Draco said excitedly.

We arrived at Gringotts and the interior was just as stunning as ever. The magnificent chandeliers still swung gently as a gentle wind entered the room through the two windows at the top of the far wall.

Draco half walked and half marched to a desk where a disgruntled goblin sat.

"I would like to withdraw ten galleons and nineteen knuts from the account of Draco Malfoy" Draco said to the goblin.

"Will that be all?" The goblin asked with a slight growl to his voice as he handed that bag of coins to Draco.

"Yes thank you" Draco said taking the bag and walking out.

We were back on the busy streets on Diagon alley.

"Where are you even going to get a snake?" I asked.

"Why, Eeylop's Owl Emporium of course" Draco said taking my hand and leading me.

"Do they even sell snakes?" I asked again.

Draco turned to me and smirked, "if I want a snake, he'll find me a snake."
