Title: Just This Once
Rating: K
Warnings: N/A
A/N: For the September 2012 "Owl Post" DMHG Challenge community on LJ. Takes place First Year.
"Get away from Aetius!" Draco screamed as he shoved past Hermione.
"I'm sorry," she replied. "He was the first to respond when I asked for an owl to deliver a letter to my parents."
"No owl of mine is going to deliver to Muggles, so you'll have to find another one," Draco growled as he tried to wrench Hermione's letter away from his pet. "Give it here, Aetius."
Shocked, both children stared as the owl angrily nipped at Draco before taking off through the window, envelope in claw.
Sulking, Draco murmured, "I guess you can use him just this once."
