Recap: "Weasly?"

"He's a -get this- Weasel." Blaise said and laughed. Draco laughed too.

"That sounds about right, Weasly, Weasel." Draco said.

"Shut up Malfoy!" Ron said angerily. "I could be like you, a ferret!"

"..." Draco frowned slightly.

"I think that ferrets are cute." Pansy said, standing up for Draco.

"I think that Draco's cute." Blaise said.

"He is, isn't he?" Pansy said, looking at Draco.

"Especially, when he was little." Blaise told her.

"I am not CUTE!" Draco argued while crossing his arms and glaring.

"No, you're not." Ron agreed with him.

"I think that he's not." Harry said. Draco glared at Harry and Ron.

"Hey! You wanted someone to agree with you, didn't you ferret?" Ron asked him and smirked when Draco glared more.

"YOU didn't have to!" Draco snapped at him and Harry. Harry frowned and was about to say something when...

Same Day

With Harry

"Alright class, today we'll be reading in the books. Although you don't have to pair up today. We recieved the rest of the text books last night. Now, up your books to the chapter that your animal is in. Look in the table of contents to find out what chapter is dedicated to your animal." Professor McGonagall instructed everyone. "Oh, and Harry and Draco! I need to see you right now outside of the classroom."

"What did I do?" I thought as I stood up along with Draco and walked down the aisle. I glanced at Draco and saw the same expression that I knew I was showing on my face. We both walked outside, Professor McGonagall was still inside the class. This gave me and Draco time to talk. "What do you think is wrong?"

" I have no idead... I haven't done anything lately unless..." Draco trailed off.

"Unless?" Harry asked curouisly. Draco blushed slightly. This sparked Harry's interest more. "Unless what, Draco?"

"I... uh... you see...I kind of drew on your face during potions class..." Draco trailed off. Harry looked surprised, than smiled. Draco looked at him confused. "What are you smiling about, I drew on your face!"

"I knew that Draco. I'm just glad that you told me yourself." Harry stated happily.

"How did you know?" Draco asked.

"I'm not that stupid, Draco?" Harry told him flatly while narrowing his eyes. "You were the only on who was near me. Some had to be right there while I was sleepy in order to draw on my eyelids. Oh, and your 'innocent' look doesn't work while on me."

"It didn't...I'm going to have to work on that..." Draco stated, pouting. "Usually everyone else is."

"Well, I'm not everyone else." Harry stated.

"Why are you so damn happy about me telling you anyway?" Draco asked, feeling confused.

"Well, you told me."

"So?"

"Friends are honest with each other in the end when it counts." Harry stated, smiling brightly at Draco.

"We're not friends." Draco argued.

"Yeah, we are." Harry said in a stern voice telling Draco that he didn't want to argue. Draco was about to say more, but Professor McGonagall walked out of the classroom.

"Alright, you both are probably wondering what's wrong." It was more a statement than question. "If you noticed when you glanced down on your papers, you have two animals written down."

"What's that about?" Harry asked.

"Yeah." Draco said.

"It seems that you too are rare."

"Rare?" Harry asked getting really confused.

"Of course, I'm rare." Draco stated proudly. Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes.

"Not in the sense of selfishness. I mean that not a lot of people that have two animals." She explained.

"How rare?" Draco asked sounding curious.

"Only one out of a half a billon people." She answered.

"Wow, that sounds rare." Harry stated, amazed.

"Do we choose only one to transform into?" Draco asked.

"No, you can actually be able to transform into both-one at a time of course."

"So, I can change into a lion or a-" Harry started, but was interuppted by Draco.

"You can turn into a lion!" Draco exclaimed, then pouted. "That's not fair! I turn into a ferret!"

"Try not to be too enthursastick Mr. Malfoy." Professor McGonagall stated sacrcastly. Draco frowned slightly.

"So, I can change into a...ferret...one minute, then a dragon the next?" Draco asked.

"Not exactly. You see transforming takes time and energy. Ergo, when you transform into one of your animals you use energy. You also use energy transforming back into your orginal self. You can only switch so much. You also can switch straight from one animal into the other, but it takes much more energy."

"What happens if you use all your energy?" Harry asked,becoming excited and wanting to try to transform.

"If you use all your energy, you began to tap into your life energy."

"Life energy, what's that?" Draco asked.

"Your life energy IS your LIFE."

"So, if...we transform too much...we could end up killing our selves..." Harry stated and trailed off. Draco frowned.

"Yes, Mr. Potter."

"I'll have to make sure to remember that..." Draco said to himself and Harry nodded in agreement.

"Could I transform into a lion right now if I wanted to?" Harry asked.

"No." Professor McGonagall answered.

"Why not?" Draco asked.

"Because it takes practice. Do you know if you transform to early you might not be able to control your animal form? You could end up hurting not only yourself but someone else. This is the reason that my first half of semester will be dedicated to learning more about your animal and their habits. Then the last half of the semester we will began to transform. Your final exam will be a perfect transformation." Professor McGonagall explained. Draco sighed.

"That means for both, Har-Potter and I, we would need to learn how to turn into both our animals perfectly." Draco stated. Professor McGonagall nodded her head.

"Since you two are special cases, I will give you your final exam when I am sure that you two are ready." She told them. "Alright, now that I have explained to you. Go back in the classroom and read both chapters about your animals."

"Yes, sir-I mean mam'." Harry said and went in the class followed by Draco and then Professor McGonagall.

The class was semi-loud with about something. As soon as they saw Harry, Draco, and Professor McGonagall, they went quiet. Harry raised at them. Draco glared at everyone. Even though they were both different methods, they obtain the same result: people stopped staring. Though when sitting down, some went back to staring at them.

"I wasn't aware that Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy was that interesting." Professor McGonagall stated as she sat down behind her desk. "Or did all you decide to gang up on them in a staring contest. It hardly seems fair, even though most of you lost."

Draco laughed a little and recieved glares from several students turned and glared at Draco. Harry felt for some reason to glare at them to stop them from glaring at Draco, who hadn't noticed the glaring as he reached under his desk to get his book.

The Gryffindors looked at Harry confused.

"Why are you glaring Harry?" Hermione asked, breaking Harry's glare. Harry turned his head to look at Hermione and shrugged. "Hm..."

"What?" Harry asked and looked at her confused. She just shook her head. Harry pulled his book from under his desk and opened it to the table of contents to look for both his animals. He decided to look up the lion first. He would save the coolest for last.

With Draco

Hm...Draco thought to himself. Ferrets are sly, understemated, and intellegent creatures! Ha, this book is so cool! Wait a second...They are also cute and lovable...Damn...I'm going to look up dragon! They're not cute!

Draco sighed and looked up Dragon, once he found it. He turned to the correct page. For some reason, he found himself wanting to glance at Harry just this once. He resisted the urge, until it became a nag. He finally gave in and glanced over at Harry. He looked at him for a while. Harry's hair was still messy and chocolaty brown. His glasses slanted slightly on his nose. He looked to be in deep thought as he was looking down at his book.

Draco wondered what other animal Harry was and so he started a little gussing game in his head. Tiger, no...that doesn't sound right...dolphin, no...to girly...shark, no...to Slytherin...He seems like something untamed...like his horrible hair...hm...Why am I bothering myself over it?

Draco shook his head as if it would shake his thoughts right, which it did...for awhile. He soon found himself looking back at Harry. This time, as if he felt them on himself, Harry lefted his head and looked at Draco. They locked eyes until Draco broke eye contact. Draco blushed slightly and just stared at the book. He wasn't reading it thought...

He was confused on why he blushed a lot over Harry or Harry related subjects. Or why he felt as if he had meet Harry before...Little did he know, Harry was thinking almost the same...
