A/N: This was written for the OSS Drabble Challenge (Round 2) at The DG Forum. The idea was to take a sentence from the One Sentence Story thread and turn that into a 300 (or less) word drabble.

Mine was taken from Aerileigh's sentence, post #402:

"I didn't mean you look like a cow," Draco cried desperately, holding up a wand as his wife readied herself for combat with a pillow, "maybe, um, a sheep?"

Something About a Cow

Draco Malfoy had always had a firm sense of self-preservation. Even in the stickiest of situations, he had still been able to rely on his silver tongue to get him out of danger. Unfortunately, this smooth talking ability seemed to have deserted him at that moment.

"What did you say?" Ginny demanded, her face twisted in unmistakable fury.

"I didn't mean you look like a cow," Draco cried desperately, holding up a wand as his wife readied herself for combat with a pillow, "maybe, um, a sheep?"

"A sheep?"

He winced, and not just because the redhead had managed to wallop him over the head with her pillow. So maybe calling her a heifer had not been the smartest thing to do. However, it was true that she stole all the room in the bed, and whenever he complained about this fact, she really did act like a right cow about it. He wasn't sure where the sheep part came in. He'd just scrambled for something to say and that had been the first thing that had popped into his mind.

"Look," Draco began, "all I'm saying is—"

"What? Have you decided you're going to call me a horse next? How about we go through all the farm animals? I'll start, shall I? I think you're a pig."

"Oh, that's real mature."

"So is calling me a heifer. And if we're to talk of heifers, I'm not the six-foot idiot that likes to pretend to be a starfish in the bed. Perhaps you should look at—"

Draco crushed his lips against hers, effectively cutting her tirade short. She made a show of resisting, but she eventually gave in and started kissing him back with all her usual tempestuousness.

He smirked. Apparently, his silver tongue hadn't quite failed him.
