Draco Malfoy: Penguin Whisperer

(UNEDITED VERSION)


oOoOoOo

Draco had been moping around the flat for days. Recently, he had been fired from hs job and had been really upet ever since. Harry had been working later and later hours and had been trveling too. It was making draco really sad, espeicallly because all he wanted to do was fuck his boyfriend and maybe dance in ther ain. Rain. Why did he want to dance in the rain? I'm not sure, but why not? Wouldn't you want to dance in the rain if you re boyfriend d was harry potter ans sexy. I know I would. K back to Dracos's story.

So Draco was really depressed because he didn't hafe a job and felt wrothless and stupid. The only company he had was his stuffed penguin tghat he had forever, but lately even his penguin wasn't enough to make him happy. When harry had to tay working late again, for the fourth time that week, Draco decided that enough was enough and he needed more and better comopnay. Therefore, he diecded that what he nededd was a friend. A friend that couldn't talk to him that is. And that would sliten.

He took his stuffed penguin and hugged him, after all he had been his friend since childhood, and promised that he would take care of himl. Then he took out his wand and said "pengino revelao!" and then tada...his stuffed penguin become real! Seriously. A real life penguin...waddling and squakicng and all.

Draco was so happy with his new friend who he named Charles that he hugged him and played with thim and even fed him fish. He had found ut that penguin eat fish and krill from that box that harry and Hermione liked to watch, the muggle one, that had that awesome aminal channel where they talkeda bout emperor penguins and ruling the artic! Draco still wasn't overly fond of muggles, but he decided that some where okay, especially the kind that liked penguins. He found out that penguins were really smart and that they could be trained, so of course, draco decided that sin e he didn't have a job he woud become a penguin trainer! Why hadn't he thought of that before, hary wouod be sooooooo excited. Yay!

oOoOoOo

When Harry came home thr next day, he was really shocked to see Draco sitting on the couch with Chalres sitting at his feet.

"Draco? Why is there a penguin in our flat?" Harry said as he frowned and stared at Draco.

"Because he's mine, Potter. Gotta problem with that?"

"Erm...not really. Just curious as to why you hav e a live bird in our flat. I though t you would tell me these things seeing as I own this flat too."

"You own half the flat, Potter," Draco said, scowling at Harry and scratching Charles' head, who looked really unhappy since he though that Harry dildn't like him. Because obviously penguins have feelings too. Jeez, Harry what are you thinking? The penguin whinged since Harry hurt his feelings and then Draco became even more upset. Harry felt bad and then bent down to scratch Chalres, but Charles was still mad so he squacked at Harry and peed on his shoes. *Idont think that penguisn actually pee but lets just pretend that they do, k? Good. It's a magic penguisn so it peeees. Yeah.

"Christ, Draco. That thing is a menace. Only you would buy a rabid penguin." Harry shook his head and got rid of the penghin pee.

"Shut up, Potter, I didn't buy him. I MADE him. And your supposed to love me. All of me. Some boyfriend you are."

"What are you even talking about, Draco?"

"Chalres! How dare you treat Charles that way. It's a poor relfection on you. What if we have children one day? Are you going to treat them like that too?

"Draco have you gone mental? It's a penguin...not a child."

Draco bent over and covered Chalre's ears or at least where he thought Charles' ears would be. "La La La. La la la. We can't hear you, Potter. Go cry somewhere else."

"Fine, Malfoy! I'll leave you alone, but youve really gone bonkers...I hope you know that. And keep your penguin off my half of the flat."

"Don't worry, Potter," Draco sneered. "I'll do that. You don't have to worry aobu tit. Come on Charles, let's go to our half of the bedroom," Draco said, still glaring at Harry.

oOoOoOo

The next day Harry went on another trip and Draco didn't even say goodbye to him. Although he regretted it after. A lot. He tried to ring his boyfriend on that muggle device that harry had given him but it was much too complicated for Draco and then it started talking to him aoubt what it could do to help and called him sexy...but the lady in the muggle device wouldn't help him get Harry. How very rude. That muggle lady was nothing liek the brilliant penguin traijng muggles that draco had seen oj the telly. If mugglds could do it, then he would do it too. Hte only problem was the he thought he needed more than one pengujin in order to have a school of pengijwsn and train them better! So in order to be a real lifde awesome penguins trainer Draoc needed more penguns.

He went around the house gathering someo of his throw pillows, particularly the ugly ones that Harry had bought and then lined then uall up dn a row and said, "Penguino reveal! Penguinso reveal! Penguosiono revealio! Penguin revelaio!" And then Ta da...there was FOUR more penguins! They were squacking and waddling and being soh so adorable as only penguins could and draco was really happy with his new friends.j

"Hello, new friends," he said. "I'm Draco Malfoy, you're new king and creator. After you all bow to me loyal subjectsk...I will name youa and then give you fish. That's right fish."

The penguins looked at eachoter and if they could frown they would. Sqack Squack. Waddle Walddle. They lined up in front o fDraco and then he named them. The first one he named Bartholomew, the second penguin was named Elizabeth, the third penguin was named Sherlock because it looked smarter than the other penguins and waddled better and then the last penguin was kind of hanging out by itself and not in line with the others. That one looked grumpy and mean, so Draco named it Harrold. He figured that would piss Harry off, which is ecatly what he wanted since Harry didn't seem to like his pengins. Well, Harry didn't like his one penguin, so Draco assumed that Harry wouldn't like 5 penguins either. Oh, well. But who wouldn't want to have five penguins! Draco woulds make them a penguin atrium and then they would all live there together and happy with lots of fish , toys, and mini fashionable penguin jumpers. Harry would understand once Draco trained thme and showed everyone just how amaing him and his penguins could be. They could put on an act. Draco Malfoy and his Magnificent Penugins! But first he had to train them.

Draco clapped his hands and then smirked at his penguins. "Listen up, penguins," he said. "I'm only going to say this once, so everyone listen. You all will follow my rules because I'm in charge."

The penguins squabbled and Draco held a hand up in the air to shush them. Hmm there's less red in my fic now, so I think im feeling more sober. Bad. Right penguins. Sorry.

Draco shushed the penguins and then said, "I understand that you all are emperor penguins and might not be happy with being your leader and owner. Therefore, I have appointed Charles to be your penguin representive. Any complaints, concerns, urges, you might have..please direct them to Chalres, okay? I'm a busy man you know, Penguin training is a full time and exhausting career. Does everyone understand?" Draco scowled and pointed at each of the penguins and each one squeaked and waddled in aggrement. Or at least Draco assume dit was agreement because really how could he tell if they were squeaking no. He dind't speak penguin. Well, not yet...anyway.

"Alright, my little penguin army the first thing we need is...ew...who just peed?" Draco scrunched his nose distastefully and glowered at all the penguins. They all hung their heads and peaks and looked at the floor.

"Who was it?" Draco accused, "which one of you just peed? That' snot cool. This is expensive hard woods floor. If you want to pee, there's a loo down the hall or we can go outside. Understand? Now who was it?"

The penguins dind't respond and draco got even more annoyed. "I bet it was you, Harold, wasn't it?" Draco asked penguin number five, who he thought was probably the most handsome penguin, but also the most annoying. Harold squabbled in Draco's face and Draco got even more angry. "How rude," he said. "Never mind, penguin my little penguin minion.s Let's just all go outside and get some fresh air. Alright. Follow me!"

He spelled about the door since penguins can't open doors and motioned for the penguins to follow him. And they did. In a straight, well, not completely straigint queue since Harold was in the back, the penguins followd Draco outside.

oOoOoOo

When they reached the outside of his and Harry's flat, Draco was relieved. Penguins took a long time to waddle down the stairs. No one had mentioned that in the muggle telly programmes. But that was probably because they were muggles and already on his first day, he had surpassed them in terms of being an awesome penguin trainer. Yes, he was the best prenugin trainer ever.

"Alright, penguin minions," Draco instructed, "everyone pee and what ever else you need to do because I don't want any more april showers on my hard wood floors. Understand?" The penguins didn't respond and draoc took their silence as agreement. The penguins seemed to be enjoying their little outing since they were waddling and exploring around Draco and Harry's garden, but then it started to rain. A lot. '

"Oh, no," Draco cried. "I knew I shouldn't have mentioned April showers!" Draco was really upset that it was raining because now his hair was going to get messed up and even if he wanted to be the best penguin trainer possible...then obviously he couldn't have frizzy, rain drenched hair.

"Come on, penguins!" Draco shouted. "Outing is over ...everyone inseide now." The pneugins ingored him though as they were just prancing around in the rain and splashing in the puddles. Some of them were even trying to tobagaon in the puddles, which was really a terrible idea because penguins shouldn't toboggan on grass or pavenment. They needed snow for that.

"No penguins! Please stop!" Drco pleaded with his new friends. "I'm glad you're having fun, but we can have fun inside. Don't jump in the puddles and get muddy. You'll bring mud in the flat and then Harry will kill me like last time. Please!"

The penguins dind't seem to care that Harry was going to kill Draco, but that ws probably because they didn't know harry eyt. I eman Harry killed Voldemort, so obvilsouly he wouldn't be a fraid of a couple mad penguins. However, Draco was smart and cunning since he's a sltythiern and all, so if he couldn't plead with the penguins, he decided to bribe them.

He offered them all the fish and krill they could eat as well as a chance to use his lavender scented bath salts if they would come insdie. And of course they did.

oOoOoOo

Once everyone was inside, warm, clean, and fed, draco decided to teach his penguins their first ever penguin routine. Clearly, if they were going to be a professional, world wide famous act then they needed to start practising asap.

He demonstrated a short and simple in hs opnion dance routine that included a couple terms, leaps, and pirouettes. Once he finished the pirouterrs, he realised that it was probably going to be difficult for penguins to do that since they don't have knees and bendable legs, so he scrapped that part of the routine and change dit for a couple of waddle belly flop combonations instead.

They practied the combonination for several hours with lots of bribes, fish, and hexes on Draco's part, and they were finally getting better. The only problem was that something was off, uneven, about their little rountine and draco realized that it was probably because they were on odd number. Well, and also because Harold, penguin number 5, always seemed to be 2 beats behind the other penguins, but that couldn't be helped. He seemed rather clumsy and uncoordinated. It wasn't his fault. Draco patted Harold on the head and then looked for something else to transfigure into another penguin. He couldn't find anotyhing good and then he had a brilliant idea! Once Harry met the penguins, he would love them so much that he wouldn ever want to get rid of them. Therefore, Draco needed to make the penguins from something that he wanted to get rid of. He looked in Harry's wardrobe for his oldest and ugliest piece of clothing. Really, they were all awful, except the ones that Draco had bought for Harry, but eventually, he settled on a really hideous bright orange Weasley jumper.

He attempted to transfigure the jumper just like he had for all the other pengins and saidk "revalio penguino!" Unfortuantely, this time there was a little problem. Instead of transfigureig a normal penguin, this penguin was ORANGE! At first draco rubbed his eyes thinking that he was seeing things, but once he realized that he had created an orange penguin, he just shrugged. Oh well, 5 black penguins and 1 orange penguin was better than 5 penguins. Perhaps the orange one would distract everyone elsle from seeing Harold's offbeat dance moves. "Alright, Snitch," he said, which is waht he named the orange penguin. "You better be a fast learner as you've missed a lot."

"Take it from the top everyone!"

oOoOoOo

The next day Harry came home early from his job assignment. Auror assignment. He wasn't mean to come home for another couple of days, but he had felt so bad about fighting with draco and draco not saying goodbye to him that he had decided he needed to come home and make up with his barmy boyfriend.

"Draco," Harry called as he entered their flat, carrying a bouquet of roses. "i'm really sorry thaht—s" But before Harry could finish his sentence, his mouth dropped. He couldn't believe that in the middle of his living room, or techinically his and Draco's living room, were 6 dancing penguins with Draco standing on top of the coffee table leading them as if he were some type of conduficter. "Draco? What the—"

"Harry!" Draco yelled as he jumped off the coffee table and ran over to Harry and threw his arms around his neck. "I missed you so much," Draco said, and then he gave Harry a big, warm kiss in greeting. Harry was relieved that his boyfriend was no longer angry, but all of this just didn't make sense. As he leaned into Draco's kiss, he realized that he not only tasted but reeked of whiskey. So he was pissed...that kind of explained some of the situation but not entirely.

"Draco?" Harry asked, screwing his face in confusiosn. "Erm...why are there 6 penguins in our living room?"

Draco rested his head on Harry's shoulder, or more like plopped his head on Draco's shoulder since he was obviously intoxicated, and then said, "they're my friends, Harry. Our friends. Let me introuduce you. This is Elizaveth, Bartholomew, Charles, who you already know, Snitch, Sherlock, and this..." he paused for a second and ran over to pick up the smallest but cutest penguin...is Harold. He offered Harold to Harry and Harry took the penguin reluctuantly. "Erm?" Harry said. "Hi, I'm Harry," he said in an uneasy voice. "I speak parseltongue which is really cool snake langage. Is that similar to penguin?" he asked.

Harold squacked loudly and then peed all over Harry's shoes.

"Ugh!" Harry shrieked, dropping the penguin on the floor, who seemed to very annoyed since he pecked at Harry and then went back to his penguin friends, who all huddled in front of him protectively.

"Draco what the hell?"

Draco laughed. "Sorry, Harry. I think that means no." Draco continued laughing and it only manged to anger Harry more, especially once Draco collapsed on the couch and all the penguins fell on top of him. Harry felt really left out and kind of like he was in some weird tellevison show.

"Right, listen, Draco. I'm going to go for a walk. A long one and maybe down to the pub." He looked over at Draco who was still sprawled out on the couch with his penguins and didn't seem to be paying attention. "When I get back," Harry added, "I want all of this," he motioned at all the penguins and the disaster that used to be their flat to be back to normal. And penguin free. Do you understand?"

"Uh huh. Whatever you, Potter. Whatever you say."

Shaking his head, Harry left and pretended that the whole thing had been a dream. What he didn't know was that Draco didn't listen to a word he had said. Or at least ignored it.

oOoOoOo

"Come on my lovely penguin minions!" Draco cried. "Everyone UP! UP! UP! We have at least a copule of hours before Harry gets back and we have to wow him when he does. Got it?"

The penguins all rolled off the couch and struggled to get back on their feet.

"Ready everyone? " Once draco was met with 6 squacks, he jumped up on top of the coffee table again and started counting off.

"From the top everyone...5ive...six...seven...eight!" he said. "Remember...we need to wow, Harry! Watch your form."

The End. Maybe.


A/N: Thanks for reading. I know that story was RIDICULOUS and I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote it, nor do I actually have any memory of writing it. That's how gone I was. If you have read Draco and the Manly Stuffed! before, you are probably wondering why Draco renamed Edgar as Charles? Well, I don't have a good answer for you. Honestly, I think I was just too drunk and couldn't remember Edgar's name. However, Draco's answer is going to be that now that Edgar was a real penguin, he deserved a new real penguin name, hence the name change to Charles. I hope that everyone enjoyed this fic. Just remember if you haven't read any of my other fics, my writing style is much better than this since all my other fics were written while I was sober (for the most part). Enough rambling by me.

Comments are Love and greatly appreciated!
