+Normal pov+ ( Slytherin 4th year dormitory)
Draco strolls in his dorm room after finishing everything he wanted to do that night. He bends down and looks under his bed where he had left Colin and discovers that the kitten-boy is not there.'
He couldn't have wondered off. Even if he woke up, he's too weak to wonder around'
Just then Crabbe and Goyle come into the room laughing and smirk at Draco.
"What did you two to with him?" Draco growls out at them.
"We didn't do anything but take him out of this room and leave him somewhere, " Crabbe informs him
"Where?" Draco asks calming. Not letting them now that he is actually worried about his charge.
"Somewhere around Hogwarts." Goyle informs him.
"Never mind you idiots! I will find him myself. And when I do he better be perfectly find, " Draco yells out then storms out of the room.
Draco enters the Slytherin Common room and ignores the others who are wanting his attention. He looks around for Colin and finds that he is not there and heads out of the dungeon. He looks around everywhere. He goes inside all the rooms he comes to and checks every nook and cranny in them, but there is no sign of the small kitten boy.
"Where in Merlin's name could those to idiots have put him!" He growls out. ' If he gets hurt then they will pay for it. Gryffindor or not he's my responsibility.'
"Looks something, Malfoy?" someone says behind him.
Draco spins around and glares, " None of your business, Potter," He snaps out. 'I'm never going to find him by myself and he is hurt. Not that I really care for the little Gryffindork, but he is a helpless kitten now.' He thinks then sighs. " Actually I was looking for Creevey." He informs the other boy.
"You lost Colin?" Harry asks and walks up toward the Draco.
"I didn't lose anything. This two idiots took him and put him somewhere," The blond wizard hisses out. ' I can't believe I am telling him this.
Harry might not be his friend or anything but he had a way of finding people and things. Colin is in Draco's care now and he will do anything to make sure the kitten-boy is safe. He doesn't need his godfather any angrier at him either.
"Why in the world would you leave him alone with this two?" Harry asks.
"I didn't think they would go looking under my bed for him," Draco replies.
"Well I can find out where he is at, but I need something from my room. So I will go and get that and find him. Then bring him to you," Harry states then starts to walk off.
"No.. Just tell me where he is at and I will get him myself." Draco yells out.
"Fine meet me near the Great Hall and I will inform you where Colin is at. He better not be hurt though," Harry says and walks off toward his room.
===10 minutes later ==== (Near the Great Hall)
Harry runs up to where Draco is. He takes a moment to catch his breath before telling the blond Slytherin where Colin is.
"Well?" Draco demands.
Harry informs him where Colin is at and watches as he runs off toward that room. ' If I didn't know any better, I would think that Draco is more worried about Colin then getting into trouble himself'
Draco runs quickly to where Colin is at and enters the dark room and the room lights up. He scans the room and finds Colin laying under one of the table. He sighs with relief seeing that the kitten-boy looks fine and picks him up genitally. He wants to make sure everything is fine though.
Colin stirs and starts to wake up. ~ Don't hurt me ~ he mews out and starts to struggle.
"Would you stop struggling? I am trying to check you over," Draco demands.
~ Why have you brought me here? ~ Colin asks.
"Stop all that meowing. I can't understand you," Draco annoyingly informs him.
~ Well that is not . . . ~ Colin starts to say when Draco swats him firmly under his tale.
"Be Quiet," He demands.
'Malfoy just swatted my bottom. ' The little kitten boy says to him self. He doesn't mew or hiss out loud though and just lets Draco check him over.
Draco feels around the young kitten-boy's body just to make sure he doesn't have any hidden injuries. Then picks him up and heads back to his dorm room. ' Now maybe I can get some sleep' he thinks.
===20 minutes later ==== ( Slytherin 4th year dormitory)
Draco places Colin on his headboard figuring that Crabbe and Goyle wouldn't dare open his bed curtain and take the kitten-boy out for the night. He wasn't going to let Colin sleep on his bed though. He finishes undressing and crawls into his bed. Then pulls his bed curtains around and casts a silence and privacy charm around his bed.
"Now you stay up there and get some sleep," He says to Colin, and the kitten boy mews back.
'Well he's not as mean as those two but he's still a Slytherin and mean to Harry' Colin thinks before drifting off the sleep. He sleeps peacefully for a while but is suddenly awoken by cries and screams.
"NO!! Get off of me.. Please.. Dad.. Dad.. You can't do this. Get off of me!!" Draco cries in his sleep.
Colin looks down at the older boy and doesn't know what to do. He doesn't like what he is hearing or seeing though. Draco is twisting himself around and trying to struggle against some invisible person above him.
"Please I don't want this.. I want.. Don't.. FATHER!!" Draco screeches before waking up.
Colin sees that he is awake and pretends to be asleep. He knows that this is something private and Draco wouldn't want him knowing about it. Draco turns around and sees the kitten-boy is still asleep. He sighs with relief and lays back down. He can't sleep any more and just lays there thinking about his nightmare and cries softly.
====Next Morning=== ( The Great Hall)
Draco walks into the Great Hall and heads toward his house's table. He has Colin inside of his cape pocket and the little kitten-boy is still sleeping. Draco figures that it is the potion that Colin took but Colin is still sleeping because he stayed up watching Draco after Draco woke up from his nightmare.
"What have you done with Colin, Malfoy?" Ron asks he stands in front of Draco attempting to block his way. He glares hatefully at the Slytherin boy
"I haven't done anything to him, Weasel," Draco replies and shoves past the irritated Gryffindor.
Ron points his want and out at Draco and starts to cast a hex, when Harry pulls his arm back.
"What are you doing, Ron? " Harry asks his friend
" I was hexing Malfoy." Ron replies. And looks over at his friend wondering why he has stopped him from hexing Malfoy yet again.
"Ron, I don't care if you hex Malfoy or not, though we don't need any more points taken away, but wait until Colin isn't near him, " Harry states irritatedly.
"Colin isn't near him, Harry." The redhead replies.
"Ron, Colin is in Draco's rope pocket, " Hermione informs him "No he's not, " Ron says.
"Yes he is, Ron. Now lets go eat breakfast, " Harry says calmly.
"He's going to hurt him," Ron points out.
"Ron, you are being ridicules. I don't know why you keep insisting that he is going to harm Colin. Malfoy is not going to hurt Colin and he is diffidently not going to hurt him in the middle of breakfast in front of the whole school, ": Harry growls out and walks away from his friend, and sits down at Gryffindor tables to eat.
====1 Hour later === ( Potion Class)
Draco heads toward his table and places Colin near the edge of it. The kitten-boy mews and moves a bit so that he is curled up into a ball. Then goes back to sleep. Draco puts his hand on him and pets him a few times, but stops quickly when he hears Harry and the others coming into the room. Harry and Hermione look over at Draco and Colin then sit down in their seats. Ron glares at Draco then Colin and walks over toward them.
"What have you done to him?" Ron asks as he looks upon the sleeping Colin.
"I haven't done anything to him, Weasel. He is sleeping maybe you know what sleep is. I don't know you don't seem to be very smart, " Draco smirks.
"What is he sleeping for? What did you give him?" Ron asks ' He has done something to him. I knew he was going to do something.
Draco rolls his eyes and glares at the babbling Gryffindor. " He is tired, so he's sleeping. Now if you don't mind I am busy here."
Ron is about to say something when Professor Snape enters the room. " I see you haven't yet learned to take your seat, Weasley. Now go there and 10 points from Gryffindor for not being there when class began," Snape says irritatedly and walks toward Draco.
"I was told to bring him everywhere with me, which includes your class, " Draco says to his godfather.
"I know that I was wondering why he still sleeping though. The sleeping potion should have worn off by now," Professor Snape says softly so that only Draco can hear him.
" I don't know, sir. Maybe he is just being a kitten. They sleep long hours you know, " Draco replies. ' Oh no I hope he wasn't awake last night and didn't hear what I was saying during my nightmare.'
Snape looks at them for a minute then heads up to the front of the room. He tells the class what potion they are going to work on and everyone begins. Colin spends the whole class sleeping and wakes up just as Draco is picking him up to leave.
He sees that Draco is about to put him into his pocket and starts mewing ~ No I don't want to go into that dark place.~
"Would you stop that annoying whining," Draco asks. His voice showing that he is annoyed.
"I don't think Mr. Creevey wants to go inside your pocket," Professor Snape informs his godson.
"Well what am I supposed to do?" Draco asks
"Carry him around in your hands, Draco." The professor sighs out.
Draco picks up Colin, holds him gentally in his hands, and heads out the door.
( Transfiguration Class)
Draco watches Colin running around onto the table and laughs at him. He is actually starting to like him more too. He stops when he sees the others coming into the room, and adopts his trademark smirk.
~HARRY!!~ Colin meows loudly and runs toward his idle. He leaps onto of Harry's head and starts meowing and mewing at him. ~I am so happy to see you, Harry. You know I had to stay in the dungeon and Crabbe and Goyle hurt me. Tell them I want to stay with you, Harry. ~
"Colin stop clawing my head, " Harry hisses out. His head is starting to hurt because Colin's claws are digging into him. " I can't understand you. Stop making so much noise, " he adds.
Draco stands by and laughs at this. He finds the fact that Colin is clinging onto Harry's head and caterwauling to be very funny. The other Slytherins all laugh at this as well. Professor McGonagall walks behind Harry and carefully takes Colin of his head.
"Now Mr. Creevey settle yourself down and sit near Mr. Malfoy. I will have no foolishness in my class." She informs the kitten-boy.
Colin mews disappointedly as he is placed near Draco. " I want a word with you after class, " the professor says to Draco before walking away.
The rest of class goes on without a hitch. Draco stays after to see what Professor McGongall wants.
"Now I know that Professor Snape said that it was a good idea for you to take care of Mr. Creevey here, and that Headmaster Dumbledore agreed to this too. It is going to take him at least a week to get the potion ready to transform him back, " she informs him.
"And you don't want me watching him for that long. No problem I am sure Potter would, " Draco states.
"No Mr. Malfoy you are going to watch him for the remainder of the time he is in kitten form. I was going to say that I order something for you and Mr. Creevey to wear. They are two pendents that will allow you to understand what he is talking about. I would feel better knowing that you can understand what he is saying to you," the professor states.
"You want me to understand him?" Draco asks 'Well I guess that would work out better. Besides I wouldn't have to hear him meowing over and over when he wanted something,'
"Yes you can pick them up tomorrow when you go out."
Draco nods and leaves the room. He had forgotten that the next day was a Hogsmeade weekend. He sees his godfather and walks toward him. "I don't have to take him with me tomorrow, do I?" he asks the dark-haired man.
"Of course Draco. You have to take him everywhere with you," Snape informs him
"Couldn't you watch him?" Draco pleads 'Of course. He will watch him for me. He knows I can't take him with me'
"I have to go to Diagon Alley and pick up a few things tomorrow myself. I am sure you can handle him. Now I must get back to my potions and I will see you later " Professor Snape says and walks off leave a very stunned Draco behind.
