Draco carries Colin back to the Slytherin dungeon and sits the kitten down on the floor far the entrance, so Colin can't hear him giving the password.
" Don't move," he says sharply, as he glares at Colin ' Stupid Gryffindor,' he says silently to himself. Then he whispers the password.
He walks back over Colin and roughly snatches him back up, causing the kitten-boy to hiss and try to bite him.
"Quit it, Creevey, or I am locking you in the closet!" Draco yells, and shakes the kitten-boy a little.
~You are so mean, Malfoy,~ Colin mews softly, and then settled down. 'They are going to hurt me, hex me, and other things.'
They enter the Slytherin common room. Draco attempts to sneak by without being noticed. He doesn't want to have to answer any questions about why he has the kitten with him.
"Draco!!" Pansy exclaims, running over to Draco and hugs him.
"Get off me!" Draco yells irritatedly and tries to get loose from her.
Pansy hugs Draco tighter and he struggles to get her away from her. Colin is getting smooched between them and decides to bite Pansy.
Pansy screeches and jumps back " What in the name of Merlin is that?" she asks, as she points to the kitten.
"This is a kitten, Pansy," Draco informs the girl, as he holds Colin out toward her.
Colin hisses and spits at the girl ~ Come near me again, and I will claw and bite you,~ he growls.
" I know what it is, Draco," she snaps
Draco rolls his eyes, "Then why did you ask?" he asks.
" I meant what are you doing with it? " She replies.
"This kitten here is actually one of the Gryffindors. He drank the potion I forgot to put away Now I have to take care of him until he gets changed back to his original form," Draco informs her, and then walks toward his dorm room.
She starts to ask who it is, but then notices that he left before she could. ' How rude of him. I am sick of him brushing me off. I will have to inform his mother about this,' she thinks then goes off to write a letter to Mrs. Malfoy.
( Slytherin 4th year dormroom)
Draco enters the dorm room and tosses Colin onto the floor before sitting down on his bed. He sits there for a few minutes and then looks over at Colin.
"What am I supposed to do with you?" he asks the kitten, who looks up at him.
~ How am I suppose to know !?~ Colin meows angrily.
"Don't touch anything," Draco states, and lies down on his bed pouting. 'I don't need this now. I already have too much to worry about.'
Colin hisses and walks over to a corner to lies down. He didn't like being there and wants Harry to take care of him. After a few moments his eyes start closing, so he decides to take a little nap. The next thing he knows he is being lifted up by his tail, and hanging upside down in the air.
"What do we have here?" asks Goyle as he looks at the kitten he is holding and laughs.
~ Put me down! Put me down!!~ Colin yowls, as he tries to reach out and claw the boy who is hurting him.
"Here, you hold it," Goyle says, and then tosses Colin across to Crabbe who doesn't catch him.
Colin lands hard on the floor, then attempts to run away from them, but Crabbe manages to grab him. He turned around and clawed the boy. Crabbe yells out because of the pain and throws the kitten across the room. Colin lands on Draco's bed and bounces off it hit the wall and lands back on the bed. He quickly rights himself and prepares to fight them.
"Now you are in for it," Goyle says, as he advances toward the frightened kitten.
"What are you two idiots doing?!!" Draco yells, as he stands in the doorway.
He turns and looks at Colin who is now in the far corner of his bed, hissing and spitting, and then back to Crabbe and Goyle who look pissed. He walks over to the other two boys, stands in front of them, with his arms folded in front of his chest
"Well??" he demands. Then stands there listening to them tell what happened
"You idiots ! That kitten over there is Creevey. You just hurt one of Dumbledore's precious Gryffindors. I am supposed to be taking care of him, and Severus told Professor McGonagall that none of us would hurt him. Now you made him a liar, not to mention the fact that it makes me look bad," he yells, after learning what all happened.
"We didn't hurt him that bad," Crabbe replies.
"Get out!!" Draco yells at them, and points to the door.
The two boys walk of the room, not wanting to deal with the very angry Draco and head out to see what Pansy is up to.
At the departure of Crabbe and Goyle, Colin begins hissing at Draco, ~ Mean, mean Slytherins.. You are all evil… evil. Don't come near me, or I will claw you. I didn't do anything to them, and they hurt me. I hate you all. HATE YOU.~
"I'm not going to hurt you," Draco says, as he walks toward the frightened kitten.
~ Stay away.. I am hurt, ~ Colin hisses.
"Come on, I need to see if you are ok or not," Draco sighs.
~ No, I am hurt enough, and you will hurt me more. You liar! ~ Colin growls.
"Fine. If you want to stay there and be in pain, then suit yourself," Draco says, sitting down in a chair to study.
~ I will, ~ Colin meows, and starts to lick his left paw that is hurting.
Seeing that Colin isn't looking Draco snatches him up by the scrap of the neck and heads out the door. Colin starts to wriggle and tries to get free, but he is hurting too much from being thrown around so he stops and just hangs there mewing about how he doesn't want to be hurt anymore.
( Gryffindor common room)
Harry, Ron, Harmione, and Colin's younger brother, Dennis, sit listening to Ginny explain what happened to Colin.
".. And then he turned into a kitten," she concludes.
"Colin is a what??" Ron asks.
" I just told you, Ron, Colin is a kitten. He drank a potion Malfoy left out, and now he's a kitten," Ginny replies.
"So were is he now?" Hermione asks the other girl. 'How could he do something so idiotic? I think Colin was smarter then that," she silently reprimands.
"The last time I saw him Snape was taking him to see Dumbledore," Ginny informs them.
Dennis sits on the floor with his knees up to his chest, and his arms wrapped around his legs listening to the older Gryffindors talk about what happened.
"They will be able to do this soon, right? He can't be a kitten for the holidays or he won't be able to come home. Mum won't let him in the house because she sneezes too much around cats. She hates cats, " he tells them. ' What if he's a kitten forever?' he thinks.
Hermione, seeing that Dennis is on the verge of crying, comforts him. "I am sure he will be changed back soon, and will back be back here," she says. Although her words are full of confidence, Dennis's worry lingers.
Ginny spots Professor McGonagall coming into the room and goes over to her.
"Professor McGonagall, is Colin still a kitten, and when will he be coming back here?" she asks the professor.
"Mr. Creevey will be taken care of by Mr. Malfoy until Professor Snape brews the potion to change him back," Professor McGonagall informs then
"Malfoy!! How could anyone let Malfoy take care of Colin? " Ron yells, angrily.
"No, bring him back here. They will hurt him," Dennis cries as he holds onto the professor's robe.
"Mr. Creevey let go of my robes and calm yourself. I am sure your brother will be fine with Mr. Malfoy," Professor McGonagall says, trying to calm the scared boy, though she herself isn't too sure about Colin's safety.
"Come on Dennis, why don't we go see if we can find out what is going on," Harry says, as he tries to pull the boy away from the professor.
(Professor Snape's private room )
"Hold still, Creevey, or I won't be able to assess your injuries," Professor Snape demands as he tries to check over the injured kitten-boy.
" I'll help hold him," Draco says, and attempts to grab Colin, who hisses lowly at him. " Maybe not," Draco adds, stepping away.
" I think I can handle him by myself, Draco," Professor Snape, informs the boy.
~ I want to go to Madam Pomfrey, I don't want you. You are mean, Slytherin, ~ Colin hisses and tries to bite Snape.
The professor ignores Collin's hissing and biting, and checks the kitten-boy over. He discovers Colin's leg is broken as well as his tail.
"I am going to give you a few healing potions, and you will take them without fighting me," the professor says, threateningly.
" Draco, give me that bottle over there," he says, pointing to a potion on the shelf near by.
Draco hands the bottle over, and Professor Snape pours the potion down Colin's throat. The kitten-boy struggled some.
~ Yuck.. blah.. gross. ~ Colin gags out and then sighs as he starts to feel better.
Then Professor Snape gives him another potion to drink, which he drinks this time without struggling.
"What was the second one, sir?" Draco asks.
"It was a sleeping draft. He should sleep the rest of the day, " Professor Snape replies, shapely.
" I didn't mean for this to happen. I only left him to go to the bathroom," Draco snaps, and turns away from his godfather. " I don't know why you are mad at me."
"Draco, I am not mad at you. It was Crabbe, and Goyle who hurt Creevey, not you. I am made at them," the professor says, and then went to hug his godson.
"You are mad at me because I left the potion out though," Draco replies.
The professor, let go of his godson, and goes over to where Colin is sleeping. He picks up the kitten, and turns to Draco. " I am going to put him somewhere to sleep, and then we are going to have a long talk," he informs the boy. He then walks out of the room.
Draco's thoughts linger on his 'home situation'. He winces and dreads the return of his godfather. He doesn't want to brush onto that subject
