Title: Ferret

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?

(A/n) This is one of the pointless Chapters that author through in to give more information. Please enjoy. (bow)

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

Draco sat in the library reading a thick leather bound book. Hermione looked at the title and raised and eyebrow, "Grimm's Fairy Tails? You have to be joking!" Draco sighed and looked up. This would be irritating.

"No, I'm not. Dad wants me to have an understanding of what muggles grow up learning." Hermione smiled and took the book. She flipped through a few pages then handed the book back.

"Cinderella?"

"It's a classic! She's goes from- cliché as it is- rags to riches. It's so cute! Though, my favorite is The Twelve Dancing Princesses." Draco smirked.

"You mean the twelve daughters of the first king of France? They were witches." Hermione blinked in surprise, "I guess you wouldn't know the story as told correctly. It's how the whole pureblood thing started." Draco smiled, "The boy, you found out about their little spells? That was Lord Grimmwald himself. Grimmwald Castle still exists. After all, Beauxbatons had to be put somewhere beautiful other wise it wouldn't have been fit for such lovely young ladies."

"How do you know all of that?"

"My mum. She went to Beauxbatons. It was different then. When my mum was there it was only for girls. (if your wondering what I mean, look at page 421 in the 4th book.) The twelve ladies started the school and never married, except for the youngest. It's rather the same story only twisted slightly. Grimm wrote all his story's from things he'd seen."

"Then why do you need my help?" Hermione was already sick of him, having not even been with him for an hour.

"I don't know all of them, but there's one I'm looking for."

"Oh?"

"One where the princess gets a prince from a toad, or some such nonsense!" Hermione giggled and shook her head.

"It's a story of a Prince who is turned into a frog by an evil curse. Well one day a princess lost her little golden ball a well. He jumped down the well and said he'd return it to her for one favor. The Princess agree, but refused his favor when he returned the ball to her hands. The frog went to the castle to retrieve his favor, but the Princess scornfully told him to leave. The king told her to either return the favor he'd done her or it would forever burden her mind and turn her into an old hag. So she dinned and talked with the frog all night. When she went to bed she gave him the second bed in the room. He started crying and the Princess felt guilty.

" She asked him 'Why do you cry.' he told her in a cocked voice 'I only wanted someone to love me. Since you obviously hate me I'll return to the well!' the princess felt bad and picked up the frog. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and he turned into a prince. They fell in love and got married. Happily ever after." Draco rolled his eyes and closed the book.

"Cute. I suppose they all end up with happy endings? Girl gets Prince and all turns out for the best?" Hermione nodded. Draco stood up and picked up one of the books on the table. He walked out of the library so fast Hermione didn't have time to stop him. She looked out at the grounds.

"It's going to be a lovely sunset."

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

Draco growled in annoyance as he walked to the Slytherin common room. He glared at the picture of Salazar Slytherin, "When all the word falls into dust…" Draco sighed. He hated this password.

"Only the purest will live to recreate it." Salazar smiled.

"Well said boy." the portrait opened and Draco walked in only to be tackled by Pansy.

"Drake! Please tell me it's not true! That horrible Lavender girl said you gave your cross, THE cross, to Hermione Granger." Draco looked at her. He'd forgotten about that.

"Oh… yah. She should be wearing it… Shouldn't she?" Blaise watched his friend walked up the stairs and vanish. Pansy shrieked in anger and started yelling at Crabb and Goyle, while Blaise snuck up to see Draco. He noticed the boy was putting on all black.

"So I'll just bring your robe and bag to-"

"The library. After class we'll met here so that I can get things set. If I come back tonight… kill me on the spot. But tell me I'm a bloody git first."

Blaise raised a well crafted eyebrow, "I guess you found out how to change back?"

"Yah, but she has to kiss me." Blaise laughed at the irony.

"I bet… that old… kook planned this." Draco sighed and leaned on one of the bed posts, "Oh Merlin. You've fallen for it… haven't you?" Draco closed his eyes and played with a cross that matched the one he'd given to Hermione.

"I don't know, Blay. I mean… I'm jealous of myself! I hate that bloody ferret for getting all her attention. I hate how I can't be in the same room as her without wanting to kill myself. I want to kill Potter even more for starting this whole thing! Merlin, Blay! I'm in bloody love!" Blaise sighed.

"'Love can kill the strongest of men,'"

"'but it makes them stronger before death ever claims them.'"

"Well said." both jumped when they noticed the Bloody Barron sitting on the windowsill. He smiled at them, "A Malfoy? In love? How quaint. Your father was only in love once. His heart didn't make it through that trampling. Then again… neither did mine." Draco rolled his eyes.

"You? In love? I doubt that." the Barron laughed.

"Oh no, Mr. Malfoy. Every man falls in love. But mine, like so many, ended before I could win her heart." Blaise perked up.

"The Gray Lady! I remember that story! My mum was in Ravenclaw and My dad in Slytherin! You told him the same story!" Draco swallowed.

"Tell me it ended well." the Barron fell silent.

"I'd be lying if it did." Draco choked.

"Wh-what happened?"

"I ran my sword through her. She refused to be mine and refused to see her dying mother. Thus I wear chains to show my sin." Draco felt nausea sweep over him. Blaise looked at him in was seemed to be fear.

"Y-you o-okay, Dray?"

"F-fine." Draco swallowed back the bile that had been in his mouth and walked to the door, "I'll be at the library at dawn." Blaise nodded and watched Draco leave.

Pansy caught him at the door, "Draco. Can we talk? Why did you give the cross to Granger?"

"I didn't really give it to her. It… chose her." Pansy smiled and kissed him roughly. Her tongue pushed into his mouth. Draco pinned her to the wall and pushed her tongue out of the way and let his own into her mouth. They pulled away, "Glad we understand each other."

"I only love you, Pansy. Learn that, would you?" she smiled as he walked away. A picture of a Slytherin boy and girl rolled their eyes.

Pansy smiled, "Of course you do, Drake. You have to."

"He's going to be with the Granger girl." the boy stated.

"It so cute! Forbidden love! This should turn out fun!" the girl giggled with a glint of longing in her eye. Pansy glared at them.

"The day Drake tells the world he's marrying a mudblood is the day I kiss Seamus Finnegan!" in Pansy's mind, this would never happen.

Draco excited the portal and made it to the Fat Lady in no time, "Your not a Gryffindor!"

"No, but I'm a ferret that needs to get to his mistress." the Fat Lady smiled.

"Miss Granger's Ferret. Does she know?" Draco shook his head, "Then I'll keep quite! In you go." Draco stopped for a second as he changed. Night had come. He slipped into the room to find Hermione sitting on the couch talking to Ron. Ron's forehead rested on hers and his arms held her waist so that they were so close only their cloths were a barrier.

Ron's right hand rubbed her back, "-foy. I don't think you should be near him so much unless there are more people with you." Hermione was playing with the collar on Weasley's shirt.

"I can't help it, Ron. He draws me in… that's why I need to talk to you. I think we need to stop before one of us gets hurt." Ron glared at her, "Just in case, Ron!"

"It's because he gave you that bloody cross!"

"No! It's… Ron. Please. I'm just confused!" Ron pushed Hermione away and stormed up to the boy's dormitory. Hermione glared at ceiling, I hope Harry hexes his ass off tomorrow! Stupid git! He's like a pmsing three year old!"

'…that was not a needed a picture. But I give her a ten on creativity.' Draco waddled up to the couch and let out a soft noise that sounded like a mew. Hermione looked down at him and nearly fainted she grabbed him off the floor and kissed his nose. Draco waited but he didn't change back. Well… that was pointless. Hermione set him on the ground and slid to floor herself. Draco suddenly felt… playful. He jumped away from her and then came back and did it again.

"What to name you?" he turned his head and looked at the fire. He became dazzled and walked closer to it. Hermione grabbed him, "Blaze!" Draco rolled his eyes and nipped her figure. She yelped and set him down, "Well if not that then what!" she sighed and patted the top of his head and the playful thing came back to him. He bounced away and growled at her. It came out as more of a squeaky purr. Hermione smiled and pulled a hand towel off the table. Draco felt even more playful as she waved it back and forth. She smiled as he started jumping up and down.

She ran the towel around and over him and laughed as he tried to get it. She laughed even harder when he jumped on it and held his head up like he was king of the world. A few other girls came to watch him and giggled as he attracted the towel again. Hermione ignored the other girls and just kept after the towel. Lavender took something from her pocket and swung it in his face. It was a plastic ball with a bunch of holes in it. It was tied to a string. He jumped after it, "He so cute! I bet he's just a wonderful pet!" Hermione nodded and giggled as he walked to the towel and burrowed under it.

"He's so cute!" Hermione took this as a time to take the little guy up to bed. Once she did no one bothered her. She just spent the time reading, while Draco slept in peace.
