XIII. Continually

Daphne couldn't help but wonder sometimes how Draco managed to be so continually annoying. He hadn't changed since he was six, much to Daphne's exasperation. The Gryffindors claimed to hate him but Daphne knew that she hated him more; she had to spend more time with him than they did, after all.

That was why she couldn't help but laugh when she saw him transfigured into a ferret. She found herself wondering whether the spell Professor Moody had used just transfigured someone into the shape they'd take as an animagus, as she couldn't think of a more fitting animal for Draco Malfoy than a slippery, blinding white albino ferret.

Amazingly enough, Draco Malfoy wasn't so continually annoying after that.
