A/N: Back again i am ^.^ I originally wasnt going to start this till later on, but i had such a boring lesson that i actually wrote out the whole outline for this chapter. by the time i came home it was basically written and just needed transfering from my phone to my laptop, spellchecked and then uploaded. but 'tis all done now Woop!

The story will not always be as - entertaining as the first few, some chapters will be more serious than others, but i will try to get a joke or two in each chapter.

Hope you enjoy the new update :)

Disclaimer: It is all the work of J k Rowling, i had wrote this on the previous chapter but Fanfiction being the special sight that it is saw one of these - . and thought "oh no you just CANNOT have that", and removed it so meh.

Lists and Thoughts

During the time in which Ron had Snape's undivided attention, ferret Draco chose his movements carefully. Slowly he placed one paw in front of the other and crept toward Hermione.

She had changed her stance to standing, her back ram rod straight as her attention centered solely on the professor. No one saw the slow movements of the pink ferret and he successfully made it to stand next to the head girls shoes.

Glancing around, he checked that no one was watching him. Once satisfied that his movements were going undetected, he leaped.

"AHHHHHHH" Hermione's scream echoed around the room and she once again began flailing her arms around and tried to kick the ferret from her shoe.

"Miss Granger what is your problem!"

"Ferret...on...my...SHOE!" she screeched.

Draco was not enjoying this. He had landed on the centre of Hermione's left shoe and was just about to bite her ankles when she had noticed him. Now he had his claws dug into the soft leather of the shoe and clung on for dear life.

It sickeningly reminded him when he had met a muggle girl during the summer and she had insisted that he went with her to a place called The Fair. Roller-coasters were not his cup of tea. He had left the place green and on the verge of losing the contents of his stomach.

The shouting in the class resumed as the head girl tried continuously to get rid of the recently changed head boy.

Snape sighed. This was not his day. Never had the first lesson of a term been so...taxing. This time Snape didn't say anything to stop the students but instead chose to use his wand.

"Petrificus totalus" (A/N: I can't remember how you spell that, any help?) every student (and ferret) froze in what they were doing.

"Ah much better, now when i remove the spell i want you all to be quiet and sit in your seats. You know the consequences if you do not" a quick glare at a red faced Ron indicated what he meant, death.

Snape removed the spell and everyone bar Hermione and ferret Draco returned to their seats.

Hermione stood frustrated and glared down at the pink ferret on her shoe. The ferret merely blinked at her. She growled.

Snape walked towards the two problem students and plucked ferret Draco of Hermione's shoe by the scruff of the neck.

Draco had an odd sense of floating before he came face to face with his godfather. This in his opinion was a slight bit too close for comfort.

"I will say one thing, you do not suit pink at all" then Snape changed Draco back from a ferret.

Draco felt better once he was changed back. The world was finally back to its normal size and he was able to glare at granger easier, withouthaving to look up at her.

"Sit down NOW!" they scrambled to their seats and made a point of sitting extra straight. "Now i can actually start to teachyou something." rolling his eyes heavenward Snape turned and walked over to the black board situated on the wall, flicking his wand in its direction, notes began to appear.

Upon seeing the notes Hermione snatched up her quill and started to write down the notes furiously along with any information that Snape told them that seemed important.

"During the next term, in your partners you will be brewing a potion. Each potion will be different from pairing to pairing, ranging in difficulty level. The actually potion itself accounts to 60% of your final grade and the written essay behind it accounts for the other 40% of your grade. Throughout the year, you will be brewing a selection of potions, from the highly dangerous to ones where each stir has to be correct right down to the last second. You will get the time during each lesson to check and/or add more to your potions, when nothing needs to be done to your potions you may use the time to write your essay for it. Now the potions in which we will be brewing up until your NEWT's will be as follows-i suggest you write these down so as not to forget-"

the class scrambled to get their parchments, ink and quills in time as Snape began to rattle of a list of potions they would be making that year. Hermione was already onto her 3rd sheet of parchment and her hand was slowly beginning to ache like it did every year at the beginning of the term.

As soon as the last name of the potion was said the bell tolled, signalling the next lesson. Parchment got rammed into bags, ink bottles were precariously sealed, quills shoved into spaces and bags were lifted as the 7th year Gryffindors and Slytherins exited the potions class.

"Oi Granger!" Hermione groaned, she was about to get a nice earful from the Slytherin.

"What do you want Malfoy"

"I think you know what, how dareyou changed me into a ferret!" he spat as he loomed over her in the doorway. Thankfully they were the last two in the room to leave.

"Well, personally, i think pink suited you" Hermione huffed before attempting to walk away. She thought she was successful until a hand wrapped round her wrist and jerked her back. The next thing she knew was that she was slammed against a wall with Malfoy hovering in front of her.

Draco's eyes flashed dangerously at Hermione, who had enough sense to shrink back slightly. Though when she realised this she instantly stood up straighter.

"Let go of me Malfoy, we have lessons to go to"

"Oh you're not getting away that easily Granger, not in a million years. First i get stuck with you as the head girl and have to share living quarters, now i have to work with you in potions for the same amount of time too! I would rather work with Pansy, and i hate the girl!" Draco fumed. He was angry; he had thought this year would have been calm. He must have forgotten the drastic problem of the golden trio when thinking that and most of all, the girl that was now openly glaring at him - Granger!

"You think you have it bad!" Hermione all but screamed. "I have to put up with you! And your pathetic beliefs, i think i got the worst deal here!"

"My beliefs, Granger, are not pathetic. You only say they are because they are about you. You and i both know that people like you, Mudbloods, should respect their superiors, and i am one. You WILL respect me or the consequence will be worse than death."

Before Hermione had a chance to retort, Malfoy was already half way down the hall and on his way to his next class. Huffing, she pushed away from the wall and stormed off to transfiguration. She absolutely hatedMalfoy. She wished he would just die.

All through her next lesson and break Hermione was seen with a slight maniac smile on her face. People would glance at her warily in the halls as they past her, and no one said anything to her as she ate a snack. No one knew just what the Head girl was thinking, but it ran along the same lines as the thoughts the head boy was having.

Different scenarios in which the other died painful deaths.

I have drawn a little image of Ferret Draco, at the moment i only have it in B&W as i have yet to colour him in.. It can be found here; http : / xxbexkuxx . deviantart . com / # / d3gka6a (make sure to remove the spaces) i rather like it :-)
