The night was cold and lifeless. Moon covered by clouds and the streetlights flickering, it had a sinister feel. In the bushes, a man was hiding.
Draco Malfoy was watching the man with uncertainty in his silver eyes. He crouched when he saw the man look his direction. Bad luck, the man saw him. Walking silently towards Draco, he raised his wand.
Draco looked at him fearfully. "Are you Draco Malfoy?" The man asked, leaving Draco horrified. He quickly nodded and moved just an inch back.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" The man boomed and said the spell Draco would never want to hear again in his life.
His body grew pure white fur and his body was shrinking. He remembered the pain from two years ago, Professor Moody had turned him into a white ferret. The pain suddenly stopped. He knew what he was about to see. A ferret, a disgusting ferret that was him. He took one glance at the man and started running as fast as his little legs can carry him.
Draco did not care where he was running. He did not care where he was going to end up. He just want to flee before the man catches him. "Stupefy!" The man shouted and Draco blacked out.
Draco woke up. He was in a cage that was way too small for him. He wandered in the much-too-small cage and saw a little peekhole. Maybe that's big enough for me, Draco thought as he climbed to the tiny hole. He pushed his head through the hole but it was too small for the rest of his body. Damn! Anyone! Help me out of this thing! He doesn't care who helps him. Potter, Weasley... Or even Granger. No, not the filthy mudblood.
He waited hours, it seemed, to have heard someone. "I really want to buy a ferret, since Crookshanks died..." The voice said. It had sounded strangly familiar... It is Hermione Granger! He peeked through the hole and saw a girl around his age and crying, seriously? It's only a cat... That died.
"Hey look! There's a ferret!" Someone said to Hermione. He suddenly realised who it was. It was Potter, pointing at Draco's cage. "Huh? Oh! Aww! Isn't he cute!" Hermione replied with a giggle. She lifted the top and carried him out. "Yep, definately getting him" She finally answered, looking lovingly at the ferret. "What sholud we call him?" A voice that sounded annoyingly like Weasley. It took time for Hermione to think."Draco"
"WHAT?" Harry's voice broke the silence. "I know you liked him and all but you can't straight up call a ferret Draco!"
"And why can't I?" Hermione challenged, her eyes gleamed of amusement. "He is my ferret, I call him what I want. Anyways, he does look like Draco!" She giggled while she observed him to check if he really looked like Draco. Pale fur, blondish muzzle and beautiful silver eyes.
"I see what you mean..." Ron muttered, more to himself. "He looks almost exactly like Draco!"
"I don't see any price tag on here... Lets go check with the store manager..." Hermione said and walked up to the counter. "Excuse me, how much is this ferret?" She asked politely. The store manager looked at her like she was joking but answered anyway. "Just take it, Everyone who came didn't want it" She replied unamusedly. "Um... Ok then" Hermione replied and walked out of the store, Harry and Ron following her.
