Chapter 1
Hermione raced up the stairs in a desperate attempt to catch Crookshanks. He had decided to try and eat Scabbers again. Ron followed closely behind.
Hermione pulled out her wand and yelled, "Immobulus!"
Immediately Crookshanks froze in place. Hermione grabbed Crookshanks before reciting the releasing spell. Ron was still running around frantically looking for Scabbers.
"Your bloody cat ate him!" he screamed.
"He did not!" she yelled back.
"Oh, so I suppose he disappeared into thin air then?" he replied sarcastically.
Suddenly Draco appeared on the stairs. "Hey! What's going on?" he asked.
"None of your business, Malfoy" Hermione snapped.
"Mudblood..." snarled Draco.
"Shut up Malfoy" growled Ron. "What are you doing here anyway? This is the entrance to the Griffindor Common Room."
"I was just... What the hell?!" Scabbers had started climbing up Draco's leg. "Get it off!" He squealed, hopping around trying to shake Scabbers off. He wouldn't budge.
Hermione and Ron were laughing hysterically. Tears were rolling down both their faces. Harry, who had heard the screaming, came out of the Common Room to investigate. He had his wand at the ready only to find a hysterical Draco hopping on one leg, screaming. He walked up to Hermione.
"What's going on, Mione?" He asked.
She couldn't answer. She was laughing too hard, so she pointed with her wand. He followed her directions and saw. Scabbers had started to gnaw at his pocket.
Harry couldn't help himself. He burst out laughing.
After a few minutes, they decided to grab Scabbers and help Draco.
Ron jogged up to Draco and pulled Scabbers off. Draco immediately relaxed, but started blushing with embarrassment at the thought of the three of them laughing at him.
He quickly straightened his ropes and stalked off down the stairs.
"That was hilarious!" said Ron.
"Priceless!" added Hermione. She wiped a tear. "Well, I gotta go. I have an essay to finish. Bye."
She zipped into the common room, shutting the door behind her.
