Title: Blood of the Spirit Animal
Disclaimer: I am not using this for profit, so don't sue me.
Summary: Not everyone is who they seem; Sometimes, people don't even know themselves. Both Draco, Harry, and the rest of their counterparts can learn a valuable lesson from their spirit animals. If only they learned to truly listen. ((Pairings: Harry/Draco, Pansy/The-Hamster)) (^The Pansy thing is supposed to be a joke, by the way.)
Thanks goes to::::
Juxtaposed--Thanks for the suggestion! I'll be sure to follow by with it. I know I didn't do a lot of that in the last chapter. I'll try to do it as much as I can in this one.
Jaina--I can't wait for Harry to notice him either ^_^
Schulyr--Well, glad you liked it =)
Zahrah Radcliffe--Thank you ^_^
Ice Lupus--I surprised you? Lol. I'm glad you liked it, though =)
rysta cat--Yeah, Snape talked about Draco's spirit. It's right when everyone's concentrating, and Draco's the first one to announce the spell. (That's all I can guide you by.)
Aiko--Here'ya'go =)

The sun shone through the windows, casting a bright and rude awakening for Harry on a free Saturday morning. Along with the sun, though, was another interruption.
"Monkey...Shut. Up!" Ron announced, throwing a flat pillow in the direction of the chattering voice.
"Ron...Ron, what's that noise?" Harry mumbled through his crimson curtains. An interrupting growl was heard from beside him, and as Harry turned to look at it, a fuzzy, pitch black creature was laying idly. Harry reached for his glasses, and the image became clear. The panther from potions.
Harry groaned, and rolled out of bed. Suddenly, the panther jumped off of the bed and grabbed Harry's clothes in his mouth. It walked towards Harry, and nudged his hand.
"Oh...Thanks." Harry mumbled sleepily.
"Your welcome." The panther growled and started to walk away.
"Wait - what's your name?"
The panther stood in thought for a few seconds. "Tarak." It said, walking away towards Harry's bed.
"*Oh*, no. You aren't going to bed. You have to follow me, today. Snape would get suspicious if I left you here." Harry scolded, pulling Tarak's tail. He growled in protest, but finally walked back over to Harry's side.
"I swear, if this stupid monkey says one more word-" Ron started.
"One more word!" The monkey shrieked, throwing it's arms up into the air.
"Gah!" Ron growled, and jumped after the monkey. It was now going through his chest and throwing miscellaneous items out one by one.
Tarak was obviously getting annoyed. His ears were set back, and his pupils were dilated. "Stay here." He growled towards Harry.
Suddenly, Tarak jumped after the monkey, and it started screeching. It jumped from table to table, knocking small, glass trinkets off. "I'll get you, you stupid monkey! Come back here!" Tarak growled, leaping up into the air and knocking over the jumping monkey.
"Ow!" The annoying creature yelped. Tarak slowly walked over to it, and pinned it with his large, rough paw.
"Told you I'd get you." Tarak's mouth twitched as if he was trying to smirk.
"Get *off* of me!" The monkey squeaked breathlessly.
"Yes!" Ron hissed, while doing a victory dance. Harry glared at the panther in disappointment.
"Tarak, get off!" Harry yelled. "You're hurting him!"
Tarak still wouldn't budge. He was giving Harry a challenging stare. "Make me."
Harry was infuriated. 'Who does this animal think he is?!' He asked himself. Harry quickly walked over to the black panther and pushed him, hard. Tarak still didn't budge. His golden eyes pierced into Harry's soul. There was something wise about those eyes.
More wise than Dumbledore's eyes.
Harry shuddered at that thought. Anything or anyone containing more knowledge than Dumbledore must have been like a god. That scared Harry. How much power did this animal have? If he wanted to, could Tarak just kill Harry off by looking at him?
Harry winced as the panther's eyes narrowed. Finally, after a long glare, it stepped off of the monkey and growled, "Get out of my sight! Any more acting up, and I'll kill you!" It threatened.
The monkey winced and stood up, rubbing it's aching belly. 'That panther sure is strong.' It thought to itself.
Harry disregarded Tarak's threat. Snape had said that they wouldn't do anything unless they had a reason for it. What reason would Tarak have to kill off Ron's spirit animal? The behavior in itself would be absurd!
Harry stepped into the shower, and was for once happy that the animal wasn't around him. Tarak wasn't really unsettling, it's just - he scared him sometimes. There was an aura of protection around him. No one could walk over him, unless he allowed it.
At that, he remembered the incident of Draco's deer the day before. Why'd Tarak let the deer totally walk all over him?
Harry was utterly baffled. There was no explanation, unless he asked Tarak himself.
Harry was busy thinking about how he would bring the subject up around his animal, when suddenly he heard a voice outside of the shower stall.
"No, Warrick, you *can't* take a shower with me! I promise to get you a comfortable environment whenever I get enough money to afford it."
"Oh, well...I saw some through a crack in the floorboards near your bed." A lazy voice said ultra slowly. Harry peaked through the shower curtain and saw an excited, exiting Neville with a turtle in hand. Harry secretly smiled, for he knew that the turtle was probably dying for fresh pond water.
Harry stepped out with a towel around his waist, his messy hair dripping with water. He quickly used a drying spell on his hair, and after patting himself down, put on his clothes. Today would definitely be a weird day. It had already *started off* weird.
Suddenly, Harry heard a screech from the Common Room. Many things started jumping to his mind. Was Neville in trouble? Ron? Hermione? Was it just a prank that Seamus or Dean had done?
Harry quickly sped down the stairs, and saw Hermione and her bear talking in the corner of the room. To the other side, a red-faced Ron was trying to catch a hyper monkey in vain. The monkey screeched again, and Harry relaxed. It was only that *stupid monkey*!
Harry was getting extremely annoyed. He also started developing a large amount of pity for Ron. Harry sighed and walked over to Hermione.
"So, what are you two up to?" He asked, looking between his friend and the intimidating bear.
"Oh, Harry, Orsin is just *so* amazing! He knows *so much*!" She said in excitement. her eyes lit up, and she smiled lovingly at the bear who huffed in acknowledgment. "He knows a lot about geography and the dragons of the world. He also knows a lot of spells that he *supposedly* said I had forgotten," Hermione smiled sheepishly, and started flipping through a book that was lodged in her lap. "Like for example, he taught me a spell to dislodge objects that are stuck in a key hole-"
"Ok, that's great, Hermione. I think I'm going to go and, uh - help Ron." Harry looked over at the now messy situation the two red-haired animals were getting into. Ron was seething mad and had the monkey in a vice grip, but the tables turned, and the monkey had jumped out of his arms and onto his head. He started pulling Ron's now sensitive ears, and Ron was yelling in protest.
"Good idea, Harry." Hermione smiled a little and glanced back over to Ron in apology.
Harry ran over to Ron and jumped at his head, causing Ron to dodge. "Harry, what in bloody hell are you trying to do to me?! Take my head off?!"
"No, Ron! I'm sorry, I'm just trying to help you get that stupid monkey off of your head!" Harry yelled, his hands held out in frustration. It would be very soon when he would start pulling his hairs out.
The monkey screeched and jumped off of Ron's head. "I'm hungry!" It yelled, suddenly becoming still. It pouted and gave Ron an adorable look.
"Don't *even* try that on me!" Ron yelled, his ears turning red again.
"Yeah, I'm hungry, too. Mind if I eat you, monkey?!" Harry's panther had shown up and was using every bit of sarcasm it had available.
The monkey screeched and hid behind Ron. "Don't let him eat me! No!" It screamed. Ron was now thinking that the monkey might develop a raw throat from it. Ron smiled inwardly at that thought. Ron sighed. He knew he had a responsibility, and he had to fulfill it, or Snape would bite his head off.
"Come on, Monkey. Hurry up." Ron ordered coldly, heading up to the boys dorm. The only people left in the Common Room were him, Tarak, Hermione, and her bear, Orsin.
"Tarak, are you really hungry?" Harry wanted to confirm this. After all, Tarak could have been joking about the monkey thing.
"Yes, I really *am* hungry." He growled. His tongue curled out to lick his snout.
"Well then, follow me. We have to go outside." Harry ordered. Tarak followed shortly after, but not before catching a glimpse out of the window. He smiled inwardly to himself.
The blonde and his deer.

Chapter Notes:::: Well...This chapter was short. Sorry! *pouts* I tried. I mainly wanted to develop the characteristics of Ron, Harry, and Hermione's animal in this chapter. I know there isn't a lot of Draco. I wish I could, but that would be rushing things *way* too much. There will be more Draco in the next chapter, though. I promise! If you have any suggestions, leave it in a review, and I'll try to follow by it as much as I can. Love you all! Next chappie will be up in a few days, hopefully.
