Chapter Eight - when the owner's away the cat will become prey

"Harry I'll expect to see you at the end of the week, bye." Blaise said to Harry as he floo'd out of Grimmauld place.

Draco sat on the sofa, his face expressionless. He knew Blaise's true feelings and was determined to not give him the satisfaction of seeing him crawl and beg his Master not to leave him behind. He had tried earlier in the day, while Harry was packing.

Flashback

"Master, Harry please! Please not Blaise you can't feel his aura, it's menacing, his jealous of you Master. Please take me with you." He had pleaded.

Harry closed his suitcase and smiled at Draco, "Don't worry Blaise is fine with you, why would he of been helping us out over the last couple of months if he didn't like us?" he had side as he wrapped Draco up in his now designated seat and cover. He had given Draco a quick kiss before Blaise had arrived.

End of flashback

Draco took to repeating what his Master had given as his reasons for not taking Draco on his business trip, not wanting Draco to be exposed to wizarding society's condemnations.

"You know your place get to it!" Blaise spoke coolly once the floo in the fireplace had disappeared and it had turned back to the normal orange and yellow. Draco gulped, he's starting already, and I thought he'd at least wait until dinner. Blaise gripped Draco's collar and reattached the leash, dragged him across the room to the farthest corner from the fire and tied his leash to the radiator and pushed Draco so he was bent double and trapped under the occasion table.

"Now Harry's gone I can get back to training you properly. Good thing I wiped your memory of me training you for the dark lord, he never could be bothered to train his pets just wanted the finished product yesterday. " He smirked, "I could have been in Askaban now, then again maybe not considering that the ministry in their wisdom don't count animals as witnesses in court cases."

Draco glared, wishing very much that he was human more than every at that moment and that it was October already and he could put his fangs and claws to good use.

Blaise was enjoying himself, Harry would finally see him as a company when he saw what a good job he had done in the animals training, finally see that the animal wasn't worth his time or affection, they didn't have emotions or feelings, even if they did they were irrelevant.

He had played both sides of the war so he could have Harry no matter the out come. Blaise had hoped the dark lord would have won the war and then he could have had Harry as his pet as the dark lord had promised him, but he had to be content with Harry's friendship at present. The weasel and the know-it-all embarrassingly shown their true feelings and stupidity in following the old fools orders and been cast out with the rest of the family – minus the twins – by society at large. Blaise smirked, knowing he now held the position as Harry Potter's best friend and confident.

He couldn't wait until Harry came back from his business trip!

Day Harry's scheduled to arrive

Draco was beaten and bruised; he had started to exhibit cat like tendencies. Blaise had fed him by placing a horses food bag around his head so he could eat, his toilet was the waste shoot that the left over from the kitchen went. After the time Draco had tried to attack him Blaise he had Draco's hands locked inside metal balls which held them in fists and chains attached so his arms couldn't stretch out completely. He was only allowed to use dirty dish towels to wipe himself of his messes.

Blaise had him in the same corner as the first day; Blaise sat eating Harry's favourite chocolates by the warm fire waiting to greet Harry.

Suddenly the fire turned green a patronus came through. "Draco, sorry I'm going to be another three days as business has got complicated. Blaise please stay for awhile longer. I'll be very so grateful as it's really important, ciao Drake, Blaise."

Blaise's expression twisted to disappointment but turned to Draco and smirked, "Just time enough to add some extra special training, one's the dark lord didn't allow."

Draco's masters' patronus disappeared and Draco turned in on himself.

Thanks everyone and I am looking for a beta if anyone is interested.

Please review as I'm becoming a bit disheartened by it.
