When Snape woke up in the morning there was a lot on his mind, for one thing he felt like there was something important he had forgotten...hair unwashed?, check!

Um... robes? Still black? He did not want a repeat of that day. He shuddered why pink? Why?

No back to problem at hand he scolded himself.

Oh yeah! That was it Draco he hadn't shown up at school for the last two days then Potter turns up with a stupid ferret with the same bloody name.

What was with that Potter and attracting trouble?

Meanwhile back at the Gryffindor common room Draco had woken up before Harry and to his surprise he was still a ferret.

"Draco you're up early." Harry yawned as he woke up.

Draco just looked at him.

"Um... do you want some food?" Harry said getting a bit uncomfortable.

Draco just stared with his silver eyes, they were eyes that said "Continue" and at first Harry didn't understand but then it clicked.

"No" he said "I already told you I can't why don't you just try to understand."

Draco was upset at that why didn't Harry try to understand what it was like to be a ferret and Draco had just realized one of the biggest things in his life. Harry told him to understand.

"You just don't know how long I've felt this way and you act like you're the only one suffering, I had decided a long time that I wouldn't tell you that I... forget it. Why I do even think that you're Malfoy? I'm so stupid."

Draco looked up to see tears staining Harry's cheeks he climbed up onto Harry's shoulder and wiped them off, knowing that he had been the one to cause them hurt... a lot. Back in first year he had actually enjoyed seeing Harry suffer now it split his heart in two.

Then smiling Harry kissed the little ferret on the nose and walked out.

"I'm going to breakfast I'll bring something back for you"

15 minutes later Draco heard footsteps and ran to the door to see who it was. It was Weasley... Draco sighed.

"Well I'm sorry I'm not Harry." Ron said obviously upset by the welcoming. "I brought you some food but maybe I shouldn't give you any."

Draco scowled then sat down on Harry's bed.

"Why's Harry not here?"

"Oh... he got a detention from Snape for breath...wait did you just talk?"

"Brilliant so I can only talk when Harry's not around I'll just have to..."

He was interrupted by Ron's scream.

"It's talking, it's talking! Hermione the bloody things talking! You said it wasn't dangerous."

Draco heard footsteps again.

"Ronald stop being ridiculous there is no possible way that the ferret is talking unless you cast a spell on it."

When she walked in she picked up the ferret and stroked him completely ignoring the screams of "He'll kill you! Run! Run for your life!" coming from Ron.

"Hey Mudblood, can you get this loud blood traitor to shut up and get out?"

"Hermione it talks just like Malfoy!?"

"Ron... shut up."

She took a few deep breathes to calm herself so she didn't hit the red head, Draco interrupted her silent moment.

"Hate to intrude" he drawled in a way that showed hedidn't "But Harry's going to show up soon then I won't be able to talk."

"Yeah understand... Ron can you go downstairs and stall Harry."

Ron walked out mentally thanking Hermione for getting him away from the Malfoy ferrety thingamajig.

That's when Harry passed him.

"Hey Ron"

"Hey mate"

Harry's hand went onto the door handle and suddenly the world started moving in slow motion.

Ron lunged for Harry.

"NO!!!!!!!!"
