DRACO IN WONDERLAND

::::::::CHAPTER TWO:::::::::POOL OF TEARS:::::::::::::

"Oh Yes!", Draco shouted with glee. "I'm small enough to get through the door!".

The contents of the bottle had indeed made Draco shrink, and he was now the perfect size to use the door. He ran up to it and started pulling on the door knob.

"Open! You stupid thing, Open!".

"I'm locked you idiot!", said the door.

Draco fell backwards in surprise. Had the door just talked to him?

"Are you talking to me?", said Draco. "Are *you* talking to me?".

"Who else would i be talking to?", replied the door. "Twit!".

"Do you even know who i am?", said Draco. "I'm a Malfoy! You should show some respect!".

"Pffft! Anyway - You need a key to open me, and you, the perfect Malfoy that you are, left the key up on that table".

Draco turned around and looked up at the table. There was indeed a key there, yet it hadn't been there when Draco had been the right size to reach it.

"Well, it wasn't there before", said Draco, stamping his foot childishly.

"Like that's my problem".

What a rude door, thought Draco. Never in my life have a meet a door as rude as this one. But as he thought about it, he had never spoken to a door. He wondered if all doors were this rude. Just then, a little box appeared at his feet. He bent down and opened it, and inside were some little cakes, with the words "Eat me" printed on them.

"Hmm", said Draco. "Should i eat one?".

"Well Duh!", said the door.

Draco scowled at the rude door before nibbling a piece of the cake.

"Mmm", said Draco. "Not bad. But i don't know what the point is - ".

Suddenly, he felt himself zooming away from the floor, his feet got further and further away - He was growing! This would have been a good thing had he not kept on growing until his head hit the ceiling.

"Ow! Well, at least i can reach the key!". He bent down and picked up the tiny key. "Now - oh no! Now i'm too big to use the door again!". He looked wildly around for another bottle, or another cake, but there was nothing! He was stuck! Maybe he'd be stuck here forever!

"If i'm stuck here forever", said Draco, his voice starting to quiver. "Hogwarts will never see their most beloved student ever again!". And with that thought, Draco started to cry. First there were only a few tears, but then he really started wailing. His massive tears splashed onto the floor below and a pool started to form. Soon the pool turned into a pond, and then the pond turned into a lake.

"Stop crying!", bellowed the door, over the noise of Draco's crying. "You'll drown yourself!".

"But - i - can't - ever - get out!", cried Draco, up to his knees in his own tears.

"Look!", said the door suddenly. "There's a bottle on the table!".

"Oh - so - there - is", Draco managed to say, before reaching for the tiny bottle. He put it to his lips and drank the contents, and before he knew it, he had shrunk again and had fallen into the bottle. Now he was floating on the sea of tears, and heading towards the door.

"I've stopped crying now", said Draco, as he neared the key hole.

"Thank fuck for that", said the door.
