This is my first ever Drarry fanfic. I'm not all that familiar with Harry Potter as I am with Naruto, but I tried my best. This is actually the revised version that's still going to be updating as i replace previous chapters. Thanks to my beta, pearlydewdrop!
'Huff, huff', Draco panted before redirecting his attention back to the incoming danger. 'Shit, it's catching up.' The small ferret could hear the dog's loud barking as the fierce canine continued to chase him around the streets.
Draco's white fur glistened in the summer sun as it ran past a corner pet store and an ironically placed butcher shop. The dog had stopped his wild pursuit when the smell of open meat caught a hold of his nostrils. The trance didn't last long though because the dog shook its head and continued to chase after him.
'SHIT.' The ferret ran even faster until it turned a corner, an unlucky move.
'A bloody dead end. Shit, I'm dead for sure.' The brick wall was too high for the ferret to even consider jumping and too steep to climb in a hurry. He turned around, hoping to be able to run around the dog, but the snarling canine had already caught up. The ferret trembled as it was backed up against the wall. 'Food. I need food to transform.'. The was no way he could perform magic of that sort without food, he need to refuel.
The ferret tried running under the dog but its tail got trapped under the dog's monstrosity of a paw. The blonde ferret squeaked as the dog bit its tail and threw it against the wall, knocking the ferret unconscious. The barking seemed to have ceased as it ran away. Draco didn't see what had chased it away.
'What, it just decided to chase me for fun? Bloody hell.', those were his final thoughts as he slipped into darkness, the tendrils of sleep pulling him under in tides.
Some time later a pair of small gray beady eyes opened and a bright light almost blinded them.
'I-is this heaven?' The ferret jumped as a door slammed open. A built man with a box of meat barged in and set the box down as he walked over to the ferret laying on the table.
"Hey there, little guy. You feeling better? I brought you some food from next door. ", the man said as he held up some bacon strips from the box. Draco sniffed and his mouth started to water in anticipation of the food. He rolled onto his belly and tried crawling over to the bacon before he felt a sharp pain in his side. He squeaked and settled back down into the table.
"Oh, shit. You probably shouldn't move so much. You were hit pretty hard." The man grabbed some napkins and the bacon and placed it in front of the ferret. The ferret's tiny paws grabbed and pulled onto the bacon strips and began to chew. Draco looked up and noticed the name tag on the man's jacket. 'Sirius Black' it read. Sirius smiled as Draco finished half of the bacon strip. He turned around and filled a small metal bowl with water. Sirius slid the bowl near the bacon and turned to leave.
"I've gotta go take care of the shop. I'l come by later to check on you."
Draco continued to eat and smiled to himself. 'Nice man. I think I'll keep him.', the blonde ferret finished his first strip and moved on to the second.
After 2-3 hours (Draco lost count because he fell asleep after eating and drinking), Sirius came back into the room and rid the table of the empty napkin and bowl. 'Little guy was really hungry. He ate all three strips.', Sirius mused to himself.
He slowly and carefully picked up the ferret and placed him in a small box with a fluffy blanket. He had closed shop already and decided to sleep in the premises overnight. As soon as he got comfortable in the couch in his office and set his alarm, the phone rang. He sighed and got up to answer the phone.
"Hello? Oh, how are you, Harry? Having wife troubles again?" He heard a sigh from the other end.
The younger started off telling Sirius about his home life. "No shit. We just went through an argument over why Lily's clothes were not washed. It was Ginny's turn today, but apparently she forgot because she was 'too busy'" Sirius laughed good-naturedly at the other man's misfortune.
"That's why I decided to stay free instead of settling down. There's no worries about that sort of thing." he said.
Harry laughed."Yeah. So what's up? How was your day? Anything new happen?" he asked, genuinely interested to see the difference between a bachelor's life and his own.
Sirius thought for a moment before answering. "Yeah. I saved a ferret from getting eaten alive by a dog. The poor thing was thrown against the wall and was heavily injured. I chased the dog away. It was fortunate that I was picking up some meat next door when it happened. The little guy was unconscious."
Harry sighed. "Poor ferret. What kind do you think it is?. There is lots of different species you know?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.
Sirius got up and got himself a cup of water from his water dispenser. "Not quite sure, actually. It's short haired and has snow white fur. It's eyes are a strange cloudy grayish color. Usually, ferrets have either red or black eyes."
Sirius opened up his computer and started searching for different types of ferrets that matched Draco's appearance. "There doesn't seem to be a name for his type."
"Is it blind? Maybe that's why the eye colour is like that.", Harry suggested vaguely.
Sirius was pretty sure the ferret wasn't blind, that ferret knew exactly where the food was earlier. "Nope, he isn't blind. Maybe he was born with some sort of genetic mutation. If so, I'll have to ask Remus about it. Remus has always been good with animals. Pretty much the best except for me and you." Harry laughed and someone yelled in the background.
Sirius laughed at the sound. If he had to bet he would be willing to wager a fortune on the fact that Ginny was going on the rampage about one thing or another.
Harry bid goodbye to Sirius, knowing full well that he was wanted by his family once again.
"I gotta go, Sirius. I'll try to call tomorrow and see what's up. Ginny's starting to yell from the bedroom. She's so loud I can hear her from downstairs!" he whined. Sirius laughed and almost fell back from his chair.
"Alright, say hi to the kids for me. Night, kid." Harry sighed. "Night, Sirius."
Sirius then ended the call and got comfortable in the couch once again for a good night's sleep.
Please review. It helps a lot and if there is something I need to work on or something important I need to know about ferrets.
