Wow, my very first harry potter fanfic. *sniff* This is a moment. Ok, normal disclaimer: I own nothing but the things I made up..everything else belongs to people more powerful then I.
Has anyone ever noticed that Malfoy doesn't have a pet? I mean, lots of other people don't, but he is a pretty main character, and ever Neville has one for goodness sakes (I haven't read the 4th book, so maybe he gets one then, I don't know). No spoilers if I can help it (for people who haven't read all of the books, like me). Focuses mainly on Malfoy (yay!). Oh, and he's a bit, ok, A LOT OOC (out of character). Enjoy!
Chapter 1
"Damn Potter. Mr. 'I'm-so-perfect-dumbledore-loves-me'." Draco Malfoy growled and kicked the side of the school. It was late in the afternoon in Hogwarts and he had just come from an exceptionally bad defense against the dark arts class.
"How is it possible that there is ANOTHER teacher that likes Potter?" He sighed and continued walking down the path, kicking stones along the way. "I'M the pureblood. I'M the rich one. I'M the smart, brave, hansom one. He only has a bit of dumb luck."
He walked down the lake and plopped down by the side of the water. He began picking up stone and skimming them across the water. He sighed to himself. 'Why does everyone like him?' a part of him said. 'He's the one with the friends, admirers, and a girl friend. I have…crab and golye.' He made a face. He sighed again. 'Damn the luck.' He threw one last stone in the water and stood up.
He continued walking down the pathway as the sun began to sink. He looked up at sky, as it formed into swirling masses of red, orange, and yellow. He snorted. "I better get back soon, wouldn't want Snape to be on my back any more then he is now. If its not my father telling me I'm not good enough and I have to work harder, it's Snape." Overcome by rag, he kicked an especially large rock in the direction of a tangle of bushes, and was rewarded by a soft 'meow'.
He did a double take. 'What the?' He walked over to the bush and knelt down in front of it. He placed his hands in the bush and removed a small, black bundle. Closer inspection found Malfoy holding a small, black kitten, barely alive.
"You poor thing" he muttered. He looked around. "Where did you come from?" He paused again. "And what am I going to do with you?" He rubbed its head. The cat opened one purple eye and looked at him.
Malfoy almost dropped the cat in shock. 'Purple eyes?'
As if sensing his shock, the cat opened both bright purple eyes and stared at him in the face. Malfoy stared into its beautiful eyes, mystified. The cat meowed softly and snuggled its way into Malfoy's arms.
When the cat snuggled into his arms, Malfoy's mind was made up. "I'll take you with me." He resolved. He stood up again, pressing the small bundle of fluff to his chest.
As he walked back down the pathway, back to his dorms, he once again regarded the cat. "So, what should I call you? First things first, are you a boy or a girl?" He blushed. "Umm..how would I.." He glanced down at the cat's rump. The cat's eyes snapped open and it growled lightly as if daring him to try. "Ok, let's try this. Are you a boy?" he asked it. To his amazement, the cat shook its head. "So then you're a girl?" The cat nodded its head.
Malfoy smiled his first smile in a long time. "Ok" he cocked his head to the side in thought. "A name now. How bout.." he thought harder, but nothing came to mind. "How's about just plain Kitten? Or Kit?" she actually looked surprised, but seemed to smile (well, as much as cat's can smile anyway).
Malfoy smiled again as he approached the building. "Kit it is then."
As he neared the entrance he concealed Kit in his robes. "Can't let Snape see you" he muttered. He walked up the winding staircase to his dorms. He walked through the picture and went into the common room where Snape was standing over a small boy. Malfoy recognized him as Will, the newest addition to the Slytherin house. He was always in trouble with Snape.
Malfoy tried to sneak up the stairs without Snape noticing, but just as he was about to enter his dorm Snape turned around and looked at him.
"Hello Malfoy."
Malfoy gave him a half smile. "Hello Professor Snape."
Snape was about to turn around again, when suddenly Kitten gave a soft meow. Malfoy realized that he had been hugging her too close to him.
Snape turned around quickly and looked at Malfoy with a raised eyebrow. "What was that?" he said in a deadly manner.
Malfoy looked around, pretending he didn't hear it. "I don't know sir. Well, I'd best be off to bed, I need my sleep for classes tomorrow." He hurriedly ran out of the room and into his dorm. He looked around, and to his relief he saw that no one else was there.
He walked over to his bed and plopped Kitten down on it. She meowed softly and tried to stand up to look around, but her legs gave out. Malfoy noticed this and rushed over.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly. He sat down and put Kitten into his lap. He inspected her legs. "You poor thing, look, you've got scratches all up and down your legs." He got up, placing her on the bed, and looked for a suitable bandage. Not finding any he went over to his trunk and took out one of his shirts, ripping off a bit from the bottom. "Wasn't important anyway" he muttered as he made his was back to the bed. There he once again lifted Kitten up and wrapped he legs in the cloth.
When he was finished he got up once again and moved to his bedside table, taking out a small, wrapped package.
"Knew Nan's present would come in handy." He said as he unwrapped in to reveal a small chocolate cake, on who's top had been placed in green icing 'happy birthday'. He offered it to Kit. "Want some? I'm not really sure what cats eat, but it's pretty good. My Nan made it. Probably the only one would who." He muttered. Kitten stood up on shaky legs and hobbled over to the box, nibbling on the side.
Malfoy sat watching her eat the cake. By now it was dark outside. Suddenly a knocking came on the door. As quickly as he could Malfoy scooped Kitten up in his arms and laid her under his sheets. He made his way over to his trunk, getting out his bedclothes and quickly changing.
"Come in." he said after he had changed. A yawning Crab, Golye, and Paul made they're way into the room. They all quickly changed, and without another hesitation climbed into bed. They flicked out the lights.
As Malfoy pulled the covers up he hugged Kitten. "Night Kit." he whispered softly. Kitten meowed into his ear and settled above his head, her tail curling around her body.
alittle r&r never hurt anyone! Remember, it's my very first HP fic, so be nice!! Comments will be appriciated and flames will be thoughly enjoyed and laughed at.
