Chapter dedication: Shelly the Turtle. She died last night, and we buried her this morning. She was the best turtle my little sister could ever have, and we miss her greatly.
Chapter 6- Let's try taking him with us... what else can we do?
He looked so cute when he was sleeping. He looked a lot younger then three... if that was ever possible. Draco always looked angelic when he was asleep, and Harry actually had the time to watch him. Even when he was so busy, he would still have to wake Draco, even if it was just to say, "Good Morning" then he would get back to work on the homework he had been missing, due to Quidditch.
He looked so cute; it was almost a shame to have to wake him. Draco was a tough one to wake up when he was seventeen... how much harder to wake could a three year old be?
"Dray. You gotta get up. Come on little one, time to get ready"
Nothing. No movement at all.
"Come on, you hungry? We gotta go to the great hall to get some food. Come on baby, time to get up"
"No" and with that, Draco slid under the blankets completely.
No? Was he even awake, or was that an automatic response?
Harry went under the covers, trying to find Draco... who was in the smack center of the bed, curled up.
"Dray, honey, time to get up" ok so this was proving it would be harder then he originally thought.
Still there was no movement, or any other response. Time for plan B
Harry yanked the blankets away from the bed, only to find Draco still asleep, as nothing had happened.
"Come on Draco! You need to get up! No fooling, we still have to see Dumbledore about this, and see what we should do for classes... or do you want me to leave you here"
Harry waited for a moment... still no response.
"Ok, see you later Draco, I will be back around lunchtime" Harry wasn't really going to leave; he just wanted to see if his plan would work. He dropped the blankets that were still in his hands and walked out the bedroom door and closed it.
But instead of seeing Draco come to the door or telling Harry he was up, he heard his Draco sobbing like there was no tomorrow.
'Great job Harry; look what you did wrong now! Could you bee any stupider"
He waited a moment to see if the crying would stop, but it just got harder and louder.
Harry opened the door slowly, to not scare the three year old too bad, what he saw broke his heart.
Draco was sitting against the headboard, holding a pillow to his tiny chest, making himself look tinier then he was. His face was red and puffy and his hair was still sleep-messed.
Draco looked up as Harry stepped into the door his crying slowed, but was nowhere near stopping. Harry ran to the bed and sat right next to his angel. He gathered him into his lap and started stroking his back.
"Shhhh I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere, I promise, shhhh"
Draco looked up at him, and then buried his head into Harry's chest.
After a good ten minuets Draco's crying had almost stopped completely. Harry's grip had not loosened at all the entire time.
"Draco, I am not going anywhere. I promise you." Harry kept telling him over and over.

At the end of breakfast Harry walked in, carrying a child. After the child had raised his head from Harry's shoulder, everyone knew exactly who it was. It was none other then Draco Malfoy.
Now it was the time for the rumors to start flying.
Harry walked over to the Gryffindor table and attempted to set Draco down before he sat down himself, but to no avail. Draco used his "monkey legs" again, and Harry just sat down, holding Draco the same way he had been carrying him.
"So" Ron started. The whole table had been staring at them... along with the entire school. "How did last night go? Did he sleep ok"
"Yah he slept fine, waking up was another thing. I tried for about ten minuets to get him up, and then I said I was going to go and leave him in the room. When I walked out of the room, he started sobbing. I felt terrible, and then I held him as he cried for about ten minuets and here we are, having everyone in the great hall listen to our conversation and stare at us like monkeys in a zoo. How are you guys?"
"We are fine thank you. What are you going to do about classes?" Hermione questioned.
What were they going to do about classes? Surly Draco wouldn't want to tag along to his boring classes. Maybe he could stay with Professor Snape.
Yep, that would go great. Could you see Snape with a three year old, working in potions? Neither could Harry.
"You should go ask Dumbledore Harry." Sometimes having Hermione for a best friend had its upsides. She could read emotions as well as she could read a book.
"Yah, I really should" can you take Draco for a moment? I don't think he would want me to carry him up there to talk to anyone" Harry said calmly "plus, I need to talk to Siri about something"
Hermione agreed to take Draco, but Draco wasn't willing to let Hermione watch him. He started crying again when Harry tried to explain what he had to do, and the fact that Draco was going to have to stay there. 'He must have not paid attention to the conversation before... must have been something he was taught early on'
"No, no I don't wanna stay here... no, don't put me down, no, no, no" Draco cried as Harry tried in vain to get Draco to stay at the table.
"Ok, come on little one" Harry said with a sigh, "let's go talk to Dumbledore"
(x)X(x)
"He will go to class with you Harry. Can you imagine him staying anywhere else? I saw what just went on at the table. There is no way he will want to be parted with you, so you must take him. Please make sure he doesn't disrupt any classes"
Great help Dumbledore was sometimes. "Thank you sir" Harry said and walked over to Sirius.
"Hey kiddo! How was last night? Nothing' bad I hope" Sirius said, with a big smile on his face the whole time.
"Siri, when you ask if it was 'nothing bad' you are not suppose to smile" Remus corrected.
"You two fight like an old married couple" Harry laughed, which caused Draco to look up.
"Hey! We resemble that remark!" Sirius laughed. "Hey little one. I'm Sirius, Harry's Godfather"
"Hi. I'm Draco." Draco said blushing.
"Oh, Remmy, what are we doing in DADA today"
"Book stuff, I'm too tired to teach today"
"You feeling ok"
"Yah, Full moon is in three days, I'm just tired"
The bell to get to first classes rang.
"Ok, but Siri, Make sure he takes it easy, it's a blue moon on Thursday"
"Like I would let him push himself more then he has to! I barley let him walk on his own"

"Welcome back students" McGonagall said with her usual crispness. "Today we will be attempting to turn living objects into different living objects. You get to choose, but please, I know what animal is at each and every table. Begin"

Harry had gotten the transfiguration work right away. Draco had actually sat in his own chair as Harry worked, and played with the kitten that was on the table in front of him.
"Hey Harry, look what the kitty can do!" Draco giggled out as he bobbed the string in front of the kitten's face, as the cat swatted at the string. Draco continued to play with the kitten until the professor came around to check on the progress, when he slid under the stool and hid behind Harry's robe.
"Very good Mr. Potter, will you please change that cat into an owl"
Harry quickly did as she instructed, only to have Draco start to cry from under his robe.
"Turn the kitty back! Harry, turn my kitty back! He doesn't like being an owl, Harry, TURN HIM BACK!" Draco managed to get out the words in between sobs.
Harry quickly turned the kitten back and got off the stool and picked Draco up off the floor. Draco reached out on to the table and picked the kitten up and held him close to his chest. The kitten began to purr once Draco started to pet the little cat's head.
"My kitty... no more hurting him... he doesn't like being an owl" Draco slurred.
"Mr. Potter, please keep Mr. Malfoy under control. He can keep the cat. I do not think I would be able to look at it the same way after his words"
"Thank you Maim"

The rest of classes went by fast. Draco was content just to play with his kitten, who he had named Wufei, because it was a sleek black, almost panther looking animal, and Draco said it reminded him of Chang Wufei, from Gundam Wing.
When it was time to go to sleep, Wufei slept at the bottom of the bed, as Draco curled into Harry's protective embrace.
"You did very well Dray. I'm sorry for changing Wufei like that. But other then that you did very well, and Severus was impressed too"
"Uncle Sev doesn't usually like me around his potions, he says I could get hurted"
"And you could. But if we were going to work on anything dangerous, I wouldn't have you with me. Draco I'm really sorry about this morning. Why don't you like being alone"
"It's scary. I don't like being alone. I don't want to be without you"
"You never will for long angel. This weekend do you want to go to Hogmeade? We could stay here if you want, but I think going will be a lot of fun"
"Ok, let's go"
"Okay. Good Night, my Angel"
"Night my Harry"

Ok! Another chapter!
for those who do not know, Chang Wufei is Chinese, hence the last name first thing.
Time: 12:34 AM
Music: none actually! SHOCK!
Notes: Where did the Wufei thing come from? I have no Idea. I am actually looking at a picture of Duo with a jaguar, which is on my wall.
Later Days!
