Harry walks quickly down Diagon Alley looking for his friends as he tries to think of an excuse to why he wasn't with them for time he was with his lover. It has been 30 minutes since he left him and he still can't find his friends. He hears Draco furiously yelling at someone at inside one of the shops and heads toward it.
'Ron must have found him again," he sighs mentally.
( Slug & Jiggers Apothecary )
Harry opens the door and is shocked to see that it isn't Ron but Professor Snape that Draco is arguing so intensly with. The young wizards decides to stand there for a few and watchm fim fight before looking for Ron and Hermione again. This is not something he gets to see every day. He glances around for a moment to find out where Colin is but doesn't see him anywhere.
"I don't care if they have the bloody ingredients here or now. Make the damn potion, NOW!" Draco growls out angrily.
"Calm yourself down," Snape calmly demands not raising is voice above it's normal tone.
"Tell them to get some of the fucking ingredients or I will . . ." the angry blond starts to tell what he will do when he feels something on his shoulder and stops talking. Years of having this object placed on his shoulder makes him automatically aware of what it is his father's cane.
"Draco," Lucius Malfoy states with authority which causes Draco to become very nervous.
"Father," Draco replies, his voice showing that he is shocked ' Why is Father here?'
Lucius whispers something in Draco's ear and the boy walks over and stands near the wall. Lucius then walks over to Severus and they start talking lowly to each other, so no one else can hear what they are saying.
Harry watches everyone and stands back away e ise is not notices. He sees that Lucius becomes irritated and angry after the potion professor says a few things to him. He looks over to see that Draco is now holding Colin in his hands. ' Wonder where Colin was when I walked in,' he thinks.
"So this must be the little Gryffindor you have to watch, because of your mistake, " Lucius says as he walks toward his son.
Colin growls and hisses out ~ Get away you evil man. I heard what you did to him. Don't care if he is a Slytherin now one should hurt anyone like that~ as he attempts to claw at the older Malfoy.
Lucius looks with amusement at him then pets him on the head. Harry wonders what has gotten into the younger Gryffindor and mentally notes to ask him why he acted this way later.
"Yes father," Draco replies to his father.
"I am sure the famous Harry Potter won't mind watching him for a bit while you and I have a discussion, " Lucius states. He glances over at Harry.
Draco turns around follows his father's gaze and looks at the other boy."Potter, What are you doing here? " Draco harshly asks him.
"I thought Ron was in here," Harry replies.' What am I telling him this for?'
"Obviously the little weasel is not here. So I don't know why you had to stick around gawking at me and listening to private conversations " Draco states irritatedly
"In your dreams, Malfoy. I wasn't gawking at you. Besides that wasn't a private conversation anyway considering that you were yelling loud enough for everyone in Diagon Alley to hear you," Harry snaps back.
Colin mews loudly ~ Harry I want to be with Harry. Let me go. . . Let me go ~ and tries to whiggle his way out of Draco's arm and get over to Harry. The blond Slytherin isn't letting him go though.
Draco is about to say something when Professor Snape walks over and says " Enough," then turns his attention to his godson " Give Mr. Creevey over to Potter. I am sure he will give him back to
you after you come back."
Draco hands Colin over to Harry then steps toward his father. Lucius puts his hands on his son's shoulder and squeezes them. Harry looks down at Colin who is now mewing and meowing
intently at him.
' I hope he doesn't do this the whole time I have him,' Harry sighs to himself.
"We have to return to Hogsmeade in forty minutes," Severus informs his friend. 'Hopefully he can see what's wrong and deal with whatever it is in that time, or atleast som some clues'
"I shall have Draco back by then," Lucius states. Then he and Draco head out the door.
Harry stands there for a few minutes thinking about where he is going to go and then starts to leave himself. He decides to go sit at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor and wait for his friends. He figures that Draco won't be back for Colin anyway.
"Where are you going, Potter?" Professor Snape asks.
"I was going to go get some ice-cream and wait for my friends," he replies.
"Very well, Potter. I will tell Mr. Malfoy where you are so he can pick up, Creevey," the professor informs him. Then walks over and starts talking to the store owner again.
(Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor)
Harry enters the shop and looks around to see if his friends are there, but they are not. He decides to wait there until it's time to go and finds a booth to sit in. Several costumers look over at him and start whispering about him. He sighs, sits down and places Colin on the seat next to himself. The kitten-boy has become quiet again, much to Harry's relief. He sees something and wants to go look at it before he eats.
" I'll be right back, Colin,” he states, then stands up.
(Malfoy Manor)
"...And they are making me watch that that Gryffindor. Now I find out that he can't be changed back for weeks, Father. Of course this means that they actually accept me to take him here for the Holidays. I am not taking a Gryffindor home for the holidays. His mother doesn't like cats or something. You have to get me out of this, Father, I am. . " Draco rambles as he walks done the hall next to his father.
Lucius, who is extremely angry at Draco because of how he acted while at Diagon Alley, stops walking and steps in front of his the boy. Draco knocks into him and stops. He looks up at his father and wonders why he has stopped..
"I do not have to get you out of anything, Draco. You got yourself into this predicament and you will just have to deal with the consequences. I am extremely disappointed in your behavior today.
Several wizards and witches informed me of your behavior on the streets of Di All Alley earlier today and many of them sought to inform me how to correct this behavior. I do not like being told how to raise my own son. It doesn't look good for our family for you to be screaming and swearing at that Weasley boy in the middle of the street either. Your godfather also informed me about what happened and from what I heard when I walked into the apothecary I am inclined to agree with them all
As for the Gryffindor boy staying with us. If your godfather can't change him back before the holidays and you are told to bring him home with you. Then you will bring him how and show him the very best wizard hospitality that our family is known for. I will not have you shaming our families name. I don't care if he was muggle raised either," Lucius says softly to his son. The tone of his voice telling Draco that he is in serious trouble.
Draco just stands there looking up wondering how his father heard about what had happened ‘It couldn’t have gotten around that quickly it wasn’t that long ago. Plus much have been things to do then go around telling what to boys argued about. . . The Creeveys are muggle borns not raised.’
Lucius reaches forward and grabs Draco’s chin. Then tilts the boy’s face up so that the boy is looking straight at him.
“You are a Malfoy and we Malfoys do not stand around on the street and use such language. I will not have you disrespecting your family in that way, Draco,” he sternly says.
Draco opens his mouth the defend himself but he stops when he fells he’s father’s grip become tighter around his chin.
“Not one word. I don’t want to hear anything from you. We are going to go into my den, so that I can punish you for your behavior. Then I will take you back to Diagon Alley,so you can go back to school. I don't want to hear that you did anything else wrong either,” Lucius informs his son.
Draco watches as his father turn and walk toward the den. He stands there trying to calm down and get up enough courage to follow because he knows what is about to happen in that room. Lucius didn’t punish him as much as people thought he did, but when he did it wasn’t quick or painless.
“Come, Draco,” Lucius demands, causing the boy to run quickly toward him.
(Meanwhile at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor)
Ron and Hermione walk into the shop and notice that Harry is getting up from one of the booths. Ron waves at Harry and Harry waves back at them. He gestures toward the table and mouths to themthat he will be back in a few.
“Now that we found Harry we can go look for Malfoy and see what he’s up,” Ron comments as he sits down on the opposite side of the booth from where Harry was just at.
“Ron leave Malfoy alone. You have been chasing him the whole time we have been here,” Hermione states.
“I am not. I just don’t like the fact that he has Colin,” the redhead replies heatedly.
“Ron, I know he’s Malfoy but it’s not like he’s going to harm another student. Even if that student is a Gryffindor. Colin isn’t even one of our friend an, so, so I don’t know why you intense of getting him away from Malfoy,” Hermione says irritatedly
“Of course he’s not my friend, ‘Mione. I can’t stand the annoying little git. He’s always running after Harry with that bloody camera of his and getting in the way. Many times I have wished he wasn’t in Gryffindor, but he is and that’s the point. Even if we don’t really like him, we can’t let Malfoy taking care of him. He’s one of us and should be taken care of by one of us, Plus this is Malfoy we are talking about,” Ron rumbles.
“Ron you shouldn’t say things like that,” she scowls.
“Why not? It’s not like you like him that much yourself and you know a lot of the others don’t either.” He replies
"Yes I know that and he does bother us a lot, but that doesn't mean we should say we don't want him to be in Gryffindor. He was put in our house for a reason, " Hermione states.
The two Gryffindors continue their little conversation about Colin unaware that he is curled up in Harry’s cloak on the other side of the bench listening to them talking about him.
‘They think I am annoying. . . I thought they really like me. . . They don’t want me to be in Gryffindor. . .’ He thinks as he listens to them and becomes extremely upset.
“Sorry I took so long,” Harry apologizes as he sits down.
“Where were you at for so long, Harry?” Hermione asks.
Harry doesn't answer her question he is busy glancing down at Colin and wanders why the he looks like he has been crying. He notices that there is wetness under Colin's eyes. The messy-haired wizard boy is about to inquire why Colin is upset when Draco walks over to the table.
“All right, Malfoy, what have you done with Colin? Did you w hiw him away? Leave him with some dark wizard to be torture?” Ron inquires as he stands up ready to fight the other boy.
“Ron,” Harry says.
“What?” Ron replies and looks at his friend. ' He is not going to tell me not to fight Malfoy again,' he growls to himself.
Harry points to the table that he has just sat Colin down at and says “Colin is right there.”
“What did you do to him, Malfoy?” Ron demands. Seeing that Colin is upset about something.
“I didn’t do anything to him. You must have done something to him,” Draco accuses.
“Of course I didn’t do anything to him. I haven’t had him and I wouldn’t hurt a fellow Gryffindor,” Ron growls out.
The redhead then attempts to pick up Colin so that Draco can’t do anything to him, but Colin growls, hisses, and claws at the him He spits and fights him then runs and jumps up onto Draco. He then claws his way to the blond Slytherin's shoulder and starts hisses angrily at Ron and Hermione.
Ron glares at the Colin and wanders how Draco has turned him against them. Hermione figures out that Colin must have heard their conversation about him.Harry looks over at Colin and back and Royingying to figure out what happened. Draco laughs in amusement at the fact that Colin seems to hate his house mates. He pulls Colin off of his shoulder and holds him in his arms then walks toward the excite leaving the Gryffindors to discuss what just happened amongst themselves.
‘ I must ask him what he is so angry about,’ the blond Slytherin mentallyes bes before leaving.
He walks out the door and meets up with Professor Snape who raises his eyebrow and looks at the obviously upset kitten who is now mewing softly.
“What happened?” the professor asks.
“I am not sure, but it had something to do with that idiot Weasley,” Draco replies.
“If you put those pendents on that you inquired today then you would be able to find out,” Snape informs him.
“Yes I know but I wanted to wait until we were in the carriage first,” the boy replies.
(Carriage on the way to Hogwarts)
Professor Snape, Draco and Colin sit in one of the carriages riding back to Hogwarts. Snape looks over at his godson who seems to be having a bit of trouble siting and think ‘ Looks like Lucius took my advice’
Draco unwraps the package with the pendents in them. He places one on a chain and hooks it around his neck. Then he attaches the other to a collar he had bought for Colin.
“Slytherin colors, Draco. I am sure his housemates aren't going to be amused seeing him with that collar on,” the professor comments.
“Well you wouldn’t accept me to go into a store and by anything Gryffindor colored,” Draco smirks.
He places the collar around Colin’s neck and gets no objection from him.
~ Stupid Ron doesn’t know anything. I am not annoying and I don’t do things just to make people mad ~ Colin hisses out.
“ So you are upset because Weasel thinks you are annoying. There are worse things then that,” Draco states.
~ Wait how did he know that I said that?~ Colin whispers to himself. His voice panicky
“Because I can understand what you are saying, since we are wearing these,” Draco replies and holds his pendent out toward Colin.
~Well not that you really care, but I am upset about a lot more then Weasley thinking that I am annoying~ Colin hisses out.
Draco mentally notes how Colin just referred to Ron as Weasley then sits and listens to Colin explain what happened at the Ice-cream shop. The younger boy talks about it until they get back to Hogwarts. Draco finds out a few very intesting things. Colin falls asleep right before they reach Hogwarts.
( 30 minutes later Snape’s chambers)
“He doesn’t want to be a Gryffindor anymore,” Draco informs his godfather as he gestures toward the sleeping kitten on the couch near them.
“And why tell me does Mr. Creevey over there who is extremely pro-Gryffindor and Potter self proclaimed number one fan would suddenly decide he doesn’t want to be a Gryffindor?” The professor asks curiously.
“It seems that Weasel and that mu.. Granger were having a little talk about how he inoyinoying and that many of the Gryffindors don’t like him when he was laying on the other side of the booth,” Draco informs him.
“I take it they didn’t know he was over there,” Snape replies.
“Of course not,” Draco informs him ‘Stupid Gryffindors’
“Well I am sure that he will forget about not wanting to be a Gryffindor any more by tomorrow. You know he has to be around, Potter. This means he is going to want to be a Gryffindor. I am sure he will forget about this by the morning. Now I have to get some work done, so I suggest you take him and head back to your dorm,” the professor says then ushers his godson and the kitten out the door.
