Hidden
The weekend came quickly, which meant another 'sleepover' at the Weasley's. Luckily, he had Blaise and Theo to keep him sane. Them and Justin. That was his way of getting out of things, but today, Potter and the twins had their own plans. They dragged him to Diagon Ally. To go shopping. Why? Draco didn't know, they refused to bloody tell him. That was starting to get on his last nerve.
"Where in the bloody name of merlin are you taking me and why!?" Draco yelled. He gained the attention of a few people walking passed, today was a busy day for Diagon Ally. It was spring shopping time. They dragged him into the Magical Menagerie.
"Here, and for our own reasons." Potter answered the question.
"If its for you, why did I have to come?" Draco growled, all of them smirked, as if they came up with some evil little plan.
"Our reasons, require you." Potter said. Draco frowned and rolled his eyes. "Wander around and tell us the first thing that catches your eye." Potter added. Draco gave Justin to George, he was the only one he trusted there. Fred was still acting like a little mischievous kid, and Potter. He was Potter. Never trustworthy. The only reason he trusted George was because of Maya, he matured more after they started dating.
Potter told him the first thing that caught his eye. There were many pets in the store, black cats, Weasels. Draco sighed, they had Platinum blonde Ferrets. He wasn't going to say anything about it, and he would not tell anyone about it. There were rats of all sizes and colors, which was really quite disturbing. Blue rats were not something he wanted to see everyday. Honestly, he didn't want to see rats at all. There were bunnies and snakes. There were puppies roaming the floors, running around the aisles and jumping on customers legs.
If only Hermione was a dog person.
A small dog caught his fancy, he knelt down and scratched its head.
"What's this ones name?" Draco asked the girl behind the counter. She smiled.
"None of them are named so the new owners can name them, but most call that one Sokka." The woman said. Draco nodded and thanked her. "He's the runt of his litter, he's the only dog in the store that gets along with the cats, that's why the dogs roam the floors and the cats stay on the shelves, they don't get along." She added. Draco thanked her again and stood from the floor. 'Sokka' followed him around as he looked at the cats. Obviously Hermione's type of cat that she liked, was Crookshanks. He was not getting another one of those. If 'Sokka' got along with cats, he could get himself the puppy and get Hermione a kitten.
"Looks like one caught your fancy. Or at least you've caught its fancy." Fred said as he picked up the puppy. Draco nodded.
"The woman said that this one got along with the cats, so if I got anything, if would be the dog, that way I can get Hermione a kitten too." Draco said as he looked at the cats. Two caught his eyes, a smoke-grey one, with blue eyes, and a pure white one, with dark emerald green eyes. They seemed to be siblings, they stayed so close to each other.
"I asked, the woman said these two's mother died a few days ago, and that they cant live without each other, nobody will adopt them because of how scared they are. She said they refuse to eat anything, and that's why they're so thin. The owners are terrified for their future." Potter said. Draco extended his hand to the kittens slowly. They stared at him for a moment, the grey one reached its paw out and put it on his index finger. The white one followed and put its paw on his middle finger.
"Looks like they like you." George said. He held Justin out for Potter to take. "And this one would rather be with you." George said. Potter furrowed his brow.
"Only because he filled his diaper." Potter muttered.
"You probably going to have kids before any of us, so you have to get used to it." Fred said. George and Draco nodded.
"Technically, this guy already has a kid, so, how about he change the diaper of his kid?" Potter said as he handed Justin to Draco.
"Your kidding. Hermione uses the muggle diapers. I told her to just use the ones that change themselves but she doesn't want to. She says he could be a muggle." Draco growled. All three of them smirked wickedly again.
"We'll get the pets, you go deal with your kid." George said, he gave Draco a pat on the back and grabbed 'Sokka' off the floor. Fred gently got the white kitten while Potter got the grey one.
Draco groaned and flooed back to the burrow. He was not going to change a diaper, but he was going to find someone who would.
"I thought I said I would hex you if you came in my room again Fre-Oh, hi Drac." Weaselette said, she smiled at Justin and grabbed him, then she smelled it.
"Don't call me Drac, for the millionth time. You know how to change muggle diapers? Hermione uses them and I am not in the mood today to try and figure it out." Draco said. Weaselette rolled her eyes.
"Just because the diaper isn't magical doesn't mean you cant use a wand." Weaselette laughed. She laid Justin on the floor and used her wand to change the diaper without touching it. "I'm guessing you don't carry around diapers?" She asked.
"No, I wasn't thinking of it, but Hermione made sure I bring this bag full of them when I come." Draco said. "Accio Diaper." He said, with his wand pointed at the door. A diaper flew in and land on Weaselette's lap. She put it on Justin the muggle way and handed him back to Draco.
"There, better?" Weaselette asked. He nodded.
"Much, thank you." Draco said, he went for the door but she spoke again.
"Malfoy has gone soft. You realize you just thanked, a Weasley?" Weaselette asked.
"I went soft a long time ago, and you wont be Weasley for long Weaselette, you'll be Potter." He said before leaving the room. He passed Potter on the way down the stairs. He held a small black puppy, with ginger paws. How in merlin did he find one like that?
"Yours are in the main room, with Fred and George." Potter said as he passed. Draco rushed down the stairs, all of them. This house was a maze, and not to his liking, he had grown to love it here. The puppy was playing with the kittens when he arrived in the main room. Fred was sitting on the fireplace, and George was sitting on the floor.
"Has Harry told you what's next on our list to do?" George asked. Draco sighed.
"There's more? Last week we just sat around and talked. Why cant we do that again?" Draco asked. Fred and George looked between him and each other.
"You didn't talk, you just listened to everyone else talking." They both said at once.
"I know, lets do that again." Draco said. He put Justin down on the floor, he started crawling around, trying to catch up with the puppy. Fred and George shook their heads.
"When's Maya coming over Georgie?" Fred said in a teasing tone. George rolled his eyes and glared at his twin.
"After we do the next thing on our list. She's with Hermione, doing things at the moment." George said.
"Like making a dress from scratch?" Draco asked. Both of the twins looked at him.
"How did you-"
"Hermione tells me everything, she adores the dress, apparently Maya has some skill in making it. Every single weekday, she talks about it and cant wait till the weekend to work on it again." Draco interrupted them.
"Time to go again." Potter said as he entered the room. There was a loud barking upstairs and he smiled.
"Finally, I thought we weren't going. Can we tell him now?" Fred asked.
"Not yet. He'll make us stay here." Potter said.
"Is this what you guys do on weekdays? Plan ways to torture me on the weekends? If so, I'm not coming next weekend." Draco growled. He picked Justin up off the floor and rocked him as he started crying, Sokka had knocked him over by accident.
"Course not!" The twins said. Potter just shrugged.
"Its fun, you get so mad." Potter laughed. Draco growled. "Fine, you two can tell him." Potter said, motioning for the excited twins.
"House hunting!" The twins said at once. Draco groaned.
