10 Things That Annoy
Number 1- Don't sneak up behind me!
I've been like this since I was rather young, and it got worse as the war progressed. I don't like people sneaking up behind me. I'll probably hex you, just from reflex, so honestly it's not a good idea. I've been living with Draco for three years now and he still doesn't get this concept, and still sneaks up on me. The last time ended with a rather comical visit to St. Mungos.
It was a couple of weeks ago; I was laying, vegged out on the sofa reading a random novel while listening to some mindless muggle television show, and not really paying attention to anything in particular. I thought Draco was in the kitchen, making dinner since we were expecting company. Despite the fact that he grew up with house elves on his every beck and call, he was a great cook. I glanced at the clock and sighed, Blaise and Pansy were coming at eight, and it had yet to reach seven thirty, oh well more reading time.
By five to eight I was out like a light with the thick novel lying open on the floor. Of course I had no clue of the time, I was asleep. Also little to my knowing Draco was slipping up behind me.
"Oi! Sleepy head! Time to get up, Blaise and Pans will be any minute!" He bellowed, and I jumped up with my wand pointed at the offending victim whom at that precise moment was unarmed.
"Pereo arachis" I growled, as a bright pink flash of light hit Draco in the chest turning him into a rather small chinchilla? Hmm…that wasn't what that spell was suppose to do
"Shit, sorry Dray," I muttered, picking him up and muttering the counter spell. "Holy hell, Dray, looks like a trip to Mungos is in order the doorbell rang not a minute later. The chinchilla scowled at me from my palm. "Hey, don't give me that, you should know not to sneak up behind me. Besides I could have done worse; I probably still could." I seethed, "C'mon in, it's unlocked." I shouted, and the door opened showing Blaise and Pansy.
"Hey Har, where would Dray be located?" Blaise asked me
"Um guys, Dray and I had a little accident, and well, we have to go to Mungos." I said, cautiously.
"What. Did. You. Do. To. Drakey-poo!" Pansy shrieked, reaching towards her wand.
"He snuck up behind me while I was sleeping, and well I turned him into a chinchilla." I grinned sheepishly as Blaise burst into laughter and Pansy looked torn between laughing and crying.
"We'll come with you buddy. Just to save you from Draco's wrath when he's back to normal." Blaise gasped between chuckles.
"Thanks." I muttered thanking god that I'd live a bit longer. I grabbed my coat, and rush out the door with Blaise and Pansy in tow.
"So, did you mean to change Drake into a chinchilla?" Blaise asked once we were headed to the hospital.
"Of course not, I was trying for a doorknob." I muttered, after handing Draco to Pansy to prevent biting.
"I see, and this is because he snuck up behind you?" Blaise continued.
"He knows I don't like that, cause of the war and my childhood. He shouldn't have done it." I whined crossing my arms like a small child.
"Draco! Top sticking your tongue out." Pansy scolded, after Draco tried to blow a raspberry at me. Finally we got into St. Mungos, and I had to explain why we were there.
"Well ma'am I was sleeping and Draco here…" I held up the chinchilla "snuck up on me and well I hexed him, but I kinda messed up the spell and can't undo it so we're here." I grinned, and she sighed as though she was tired of seeing me and Draco at the hospital. She got up and led us down to a room saying she'd send someone in soon. "Thanks, Jane." I called as she exited the room.
"On first name basis with the nurse, Harry?" Blaise asked sarcastically
"This isn't our first time visiting after an argument." I muttered, sitting Draco down on the bed.
Moments later our usual healer walked in and rolled her eyes at me. "So, Mr. Potter, what have you done to Mr. Malfoy today?" She wondered
"We need you to turn Draco back into a human, ma'am" Pansy offered, and the nurse glared at me.
"I accidentally turned him into a chinchilla, Zoë" I explained. Zoë looked over the top of her glasses
"You two never learn, do you?" She muttered, and I grinned and shook my head slowly. "Okay, what spell did you use?" she directed at me.
"Pereo arachis" I murmured, looking worried.
"Fine." after a quick amount of Latin mumbling Draco sat as a human; a very naked human.
"Holy crap Drake! What happened?" Blaise shouted, looking at his chest where several patches of discolored skin lay.
"I think I should have a look at those." Zoë stated, approaching the bed.
"Doc, I don't think that's necessary" Pansy started.
"And why not?" She demanded, whirling on the girl
"Because, well, those aren't from mistreatment." She blushed a bright scarlet and flashed me and Draco a look. "And, why didn't you two ell me about you guys being an item?!" She growled
"Because Pansy, you do not need to know everything about our love life." Draco snarled, taking the trench coat I was offering him.
So, as this can teach you sneaking up behind a child who fought at the head of an army isn't a good idea. Also Pansy wasn't right on what was on Draco, just so you know. But Drake and I get along a lot better, seeing as we don't sneak up behind each other.
Please review, it helps a lot with the creative process and keeps writer's block at bay. Thanks once again to VampireNina for her awesome betaing skills.
