Professor Snape walks into the adjoining room, lays Colin onto a chair, and then returns to the room he had left Draco at. He sits down next to the blond boy and looks over at him.
"Now, Draco, tell me what is bothering you, and don't tell me it's nothing," he states firmly, as he looks into the boy's eyes trying to gather information about his mood.
"Nothing is wrong. I am just overwhelmed with school and other things," Draco replies nervously.
"Draco, If there is nothing wrong, then why are you so nervous?" Professor Snape calmly asks.
Draco stands up, turns and looks at his 'uncle'. He doesn't feel like talking about things now, and is becoming quit annoyed because the professor keeps pushing him to tell things he doesn't want him, or anyone else, to know about.
" I am not nervous, Uncle Sev, I am just tired. There are several things I have to do tonight, and having to watch that..that.. Gryffindor isn't helping any," he snaps angrily.
"Calm yourself!" the professor replies sharply, as he grabs hold of Draco's arms and shacks him a bit.
" I am calm," Draco growls out, through clinched teeth, as he tries to calm himself down.
Professor Snape sighs, and pulls Draco into a hug. He begins rubbing the boy's back trying to calm him down. " I am just trying to find out what is wrong with you. You know I am concerned about you," he whispers.
" I know" Draco mumbles.
"Then tell me what is wrong. Did your father do something?" the professor inquires.
"Of course not!" Draco yells, and pulls away from the professor. " You know my father. How could you even ask me that? Just because those bloody rumors are going around about him beating or molesting me. How could you even ask me that?" the boy rages, his voice filled with hurt and shock.
"Yes I know your father and I wasn't saying he did anything like that. I meant did he not take you somewhere he was going to, or did you get into trouble? Of course I know he doesn't do those things, Draco," the professor replies.
"No, Father was great this summer. He even took me with him for a week when he was in France," Draco says enthusiastically. Feeling proud that his father actually thought he was old enough to bring alone on trips.
"Tell me what's bothering you, " the professor ergs again.
"I told you it's nothing. Why do you insist something is wrong? Summer was wonderful and I had so much fun," Draco says angrily, as he paces around the room.
Draco doesn't want anyone to know about what happened that summer. He just wants to forget about it and is trying to act as normal as possible. He knows his godfather suspects something, but he also knows that his godfather would never suspect anything like that would happen to him.
Professor Snape looks at the boy for a moment and comes to the conclusion that he isn't going to get anything from him at this time. The boy is too stubborn and there is no way he can get passed that.
"Very well Draco. I will not ask you about this now, but you know where I am if you need to talk to me." The professor informs him.
"Thank you! Now if you will excuse me, I have things I need to do," the boy replies then started walking toward the door.
"Don't forget to take Creevey with you. He's in the next room" the professor remarks.
"Yes I wouldn't want to forget him." Draco replies sarcastically, then stormed out the door. Carrying the sleeping kitten-boy carefully in his arms.

(Slytherin 4th year dormitory)
Draco lies on his bed watching Colin who sleeping on it next to him. "Stupid Gryffindor, why did you have to go and drink my potion?" he asks the sleeping boy in kitten form, who just lays there curled up in a ball. ' You aren't as annoying as a kitten. At least you aren't snapping pictures with that camera of your'
"Now, What am I going to do with you for tonight? I am not letting you sleep in my bed." He mutters, " I know you can sleep under it" he remarks after a minute and picks up the kitten.
Colin doesn't do anything when he is picked up, as he is fully asleep and unaware of what was going on. Which Draco is very thankful for because Colin would have struggled. Draco places him under the bed then leaves the room to go do the things he has to do that evening.
Crabbe and Goyle return to the dorm room and notices that Draco isn't there. Colin is sleep under the bed unaware of what is going on around him. He doesn't see the two Slytherns looking around the room.
"Draco left the poor little Gryiffindork kitten under his bed," Crabbe smirks.
"I am not going to sleep in the same room as that, " Goyle states as he points toward the kitten.
"Then lets get rid of him." Crabbe replies and pulls Colin out from under Draco's bed.
He takes the kitten out of the dorm room. Goyle follows him.
Draco returns to the door room a few minutes later. He leans down and looks under his bed and is shocked to see that the kitten is not there.
"He couldn't have woken up this soon," He says out loud to himself.
He begins to search the room for him. Checking every place he can think of, then comes to the conclusion that someone namely Crabbe and Goyle must have taken Colin.
'If those to idiots have done anything to hurt him. I will hex them so bad it will take years to fix them," he growls inwardly and leaves the room to find the two Slytherin boys he thinks have something to do with Colin's disappearance.
(Gryffindor 4th year dormitory)
Ron and Harry turn to their dorm room after failing to discover any more information about what happened to their younger house mate.
"I can't believe Dumbledore is letting Malfoy take care of Colin while he's a helpless kitten," Ron growls out as he paces sporadically around the room.
" I am sure he will be fine, Ron" Harry replies as he gets ready to go to bed. 'Draco wouldn't hurt Colin. He's not evil'
"How can you say that? This is Malfoy we are talking about here. And how come you didn't want me to hex him this morning?" Ron replies. Still puzzled by Harry's actions in class that day.
"If you had done that, Ron, we would have lost more house points." Harry states. And continues to get ready for bed
"I know that, but what does that have to do with anything here? " Ron asks.
"Snape takes house points away for every little thing. We don't need them taken away because you can't ignore, Malfoy." Harry says irritatedly.
"He started it this morning," Ron replies defending himself. ' Why is Harry even defending that prat?'
"Well you were staring at him and. . . "
"I don't want to talk about this any more." Ron snaps out.
"Fine Ron," Harry replies. ' I wish he would stop fighting with Draco. We are 4th years not 1st years. There are more important things to deal with then petty childish rivalries'
Harry gets into bed, pulls the curtain round it, and tries to go to sleep. He can't help thinking about what happened that day though. After several minutes of trying to sleep he decides to write a letter to someone about what happened.
(Somewhere in Hogwarts)
Colin wakes up and finds himself in a pitch black room. He is still groggy, confused, and doesn't know where he is at. The kitten-boy is scared so he starts meowing for help. He meows and meows, but no one is coming. After several minutes of mewing and crying he finally falls back to sleep.
