Summery: When Draco's turned into a ferret it's up to him to find a way out of it. But when Hermione gets involved in something deeper then just the little spell that changed him, how does everything change? Why is his family changing for just one girl?

"'Mione?" the girl looked up and smiled at Ron.

"Hi! How are you?" he smiled back, but looked confused.

"I'm good, but… why do have a ferret with you?" Hermione noticed Draco sitting on her shoulder and giggled.

She set him on the table, "I found him! Isn't he cute!" she gave Draco a piece of bacon that he munched on happily. She giggled again, "He's been a sweetheart! I'll keep him if no one reports a missing pet." Ron smiled and reached out to pet the ferret. Draco decided to let him and licked Ron's hand. Ron stroked the little guy on the head and his smiled widened.

"Wow. He's really soft." Hermione nodded and Ron sat next to her. They both kept their attention on the ferret and were ignorant of Harry glaring at the ferret. Ginny didn't remember anything except the great shag Harry had given her, so she thought it was cute and was happy when Draco let her pet him.

"Miss Granger." they looked up to see Snape and McGonagall standing behind her. Snape spoke first, "Have you seen, Mr. Malfoy? He never checked in with Salazar. And no one seems to have found him." Hermione shook her head.

"He didn't check in at the trade either! Harry told me he'd seen him." they looked at Harry.

"He just gave me detention then walked off. I don't know where he went." the ferret crawled up Hermione's arm and rubbed against her neck. She giggled and held him to her chest while kissing his head.

"Miss Granger, the head master would also like to see you about your new pet. He'd like to keep it in his office. Just for today to make sure it's not something harmful." Hermione handed Draco to McGonagall with a sad look on her face. She didn't want to let him go. McGonagall noticed this and smiled, "If he's not harmful you'll get him back. No harm done. If not… I'm sure you'll find another pet more suited to your liking." McGonagall walked from the Great Hall and up to the head masters office.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco sat on the Head Master's desk and waited for the old man to come into the room. It was another five minutes before Dumbledore came with Snape and McGonagall in tow. 'This should be fun!' Dumbledore smiled at Draco, "Mr. Malfoy. I believe you've had quite the night!" Dumbledore waved his hand and Draco fell back in the chair meant for the Head Master with a thump. He was back to his original form. Snape and McGonagall stared at him.

"Um… hi?" Dumbledore chuckled.

"This best stay in the room. I think Miss Granger would be terribly embarrassed to find out you watched her take a bath, rather then a cute little ferret." Draco felt his cheeks darken with a blush. McGonagall looked furious.

"HE DID WHAT!" Draco slid down in the chair.

"I-I'm so-sorry! She picked me up and took me with her! I didn't have a lot of choices. It's not like I wanted to watch, but then she decided to give me a bath and well… I still didn't have much choice. I wasn't gonna bite her, so I was stuck!" Snape was still in shock, but McGonagall was even angrier.

"That was inappropriate behavior!"

"I was a bloody ferret! You act I like raped her!" Dumbledore's laugh made everyone look at him.

"Well, it seems Miss Granger is found of you. Now. Mr. Malfoy, the only problem is that the spell was to strong to reverse so you will be a ferret at night and a human during the day." Draco groaned and gave the head master a pleading look.

"Can't you just tell her I was a Death Eater? I don't wanna go back!" Dumbledore shook his head and smirked at the boy.

"I think she'd be heart broken if her pet was taken away from her. I have a back up story as well." Draco listened to the old man, "You used your Prefect powers to cause a ruckus. As for what you did, leave it to me. When asked how you pulled it off. You refuse to tell because that would ruin the fun. Severus will haul you into the Great Hall and we'll go from there." Snape grabbed Draco by the scruff of the neck and pulled the boy along while Dumbledore walked off to work out Draco's prank. McGonagall fallowed Snape.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone stared as Draco was accompanied by both teachers. McGonagall took away his Prefect badge and stormed up to the teachers table. Snape soon joined her and she made the announcement.

"Today. All classes are canceled." the whole hall cheered, "but! The day will be spent on the grounds or in the great hall. Mr. Malfoy saw fit to use a spell that was beyond his comprehension and that halls have been made dangerous. I hate to do this to the whole of Slytherin, but you have lost all of your house points for Mr. Malfoy's ignorance. The head master is dealing with the mistake, but it may take all day." the students were in shock and Draco was immediately glared at by all the Slytherin's. Draco shrunk down in his seat and tried to vanish.

Snape look horrified at this. He glared at McGonagall who shrugged and seated herself. Draco left the hall instantly after the announcement and sat by the lake. He stared into the lake and wished he'd just left Potter alone. The whole mess was ruining him, "Draco Malfoy!" Draco looked back to see Pansy, Blaise, Crabb, Goyle, and Nott coming at him.

"What?" they glared at him. Pansy put her hands on her hips.

"What were you thinking! You made us lose! We'll never regain all of that!" Draco sighed and lay back on the grass.

"To tell you the truth… I was thinking about Granger."

"WHAT!" all five were shocked.

"I was in the Prefect Bathroom last night and Granger came in. She stated undressing and I have to tell you! She's got a body any guy would get hard over. Thin legs, C-cup breasts, nice ass and a well toned stomach. She's really grown up." Pansy looked sickened by his description, but the guys looked ready to run off and beg Granger for a shag.

"She let you see all of this?" Blaise smirked at him, "Or were you playing a peeping tom?"

"I was in there already. She's the one who didn't check! Besides. She looked to good to look away. Not to mention when she dried off. She's just hot. I'd kill for a shag with her."

"MALFOY!" Draco looked to see a very red Hermione and a very angry Weasley. He smirked.

"Hello. How may I help you?" Hermione looked at him and noticed his blue eyes hadn't left her. But Ron grabbed Draco by the neck to fast for Hermione to check the emotion in his eyes. Ron held Draco against a tree.

"You sick little ferret! Who the hell do you think you are!?" Draco turned his head to the side.

"Ferret?" Hermione covered her mouth as she let out a small giggle. Draco smirked, "Hey, Granger. What were you talking to last night? It looked like a rat!" Hermione glared at him.

"He, was a Ferret! Don't insult him, Malfoy! Unlike you this ferret is a sweetheart. I'd like to see you be nice." Draco smirked. She'd said the magic words. Ron let him go and took Hermione's hand. They walked away and Draco smiled at Hermione.

"If that's what she wants, that's what she gets." Pansy glared at him.

"What do you mean by that!"

"I told you, Pansy. I'd do anything to shag, Granger." in truth he wanted nothing better then to earn her. He'd be the person only Blaise had ever met. But something about the way Granger was talking about him last night made him want her. He knew it would be hard, but a challenge was all he wanted.

"I've gotta go. Professor Flitwick wasn't being clear about what he wanted on that essay." Draco walked off to the great hall and up to the teacher's table. He spoke quickly to Flitwick before thanking the man and calling his bag from his room so he could work on the four essays and two projects he'd been avoiding.

He watched as many people looked at him and a few came up as if to talk to him then left quickly. He smirked when one of the Prefects came up to him then left. Most Perfects were avoiding him. The doors to the Great Hall slammed open and Blaise came storming over to him. A Perfects bandage gleaming on his chest, "I hate you! Now look! I have to be a goody-two-shoes! Are you out of your mind! You knew this would happen! You knew it would! Your trying to kill me!" Blaise fell down to his knees sobbing dramatically. Draco gently pulled Blaise hands from his arm.

"Blay, you're my best friend. So I'm going to tell you something and if you tell anyone I'll ask Dumbledore to make you Head Boy." Blaise looked frightened and nodded hungrily for the treat into Draco's life. Draco told him the whole story and almost killed the boy who started laughing like a maniac.

"Please, Dray. Tell me your joking! I knew the crush on Granger part, but the whole Ferret thing? That's cruel!" Draco smiled.

"Have I ever lied to you, Blay?"

"Well-"

"Other then the time about Pansy and you getting married, because you were so drunk you thought she was a veela." Blaise glared at him.

"You ever say that out loud again I'll tell the whole school about your dad's Christmas party. But no. Other then that you've never lied to me."

"How did you know about… I don't want to know. Anyway. I'm lying Blay. And I truly am her pet ferret. And it'll suck! By the way. You have rounds with her tonight. So your giving me to her. Suggest that she names me 'Draco'. Please?" Blaise nodded happily and bounded off.

Hermione approached Draco with a stern look on her face, "How could you leave me with him for the rest of the year? I'm the one that's gonna die!" Draco smiled at her.

"At lest he's a good laugh! By the way. Your ferret is fine. I saw it when they took me to the Head Master's office." she smiled and walked off without another word. Draco sighed and waited for night to fall.
