[X] You change your mind. That cat gives no fucks and takes no shit. You like it already.

Awesome cat is awesome.

 

[Malcolmo]

[X] ... is that a black fox? Why is it staring at you?

[Biigoh]

Cat has an edge right nao~

 

[FurikoMaru]

[X] Crookshanks it is.

The cat hates you. There's just no other way to put it.

You had thought it hated that cobra, but no. What it felt for the cobra was merely annoyance.

When the fight has been settled and the shopkeeper asks how she can assist you, you naturally ask to take a look at the cat. The moment you stretch out a hand to pet it, there is no prelude of hissing and scratching. It simply bites down hard on your index finger and will not let go, glaring up at you all the while.

The manager and your mother start shrieking your name and the cat's and whip out their wands lightning-quick. You are, naturally, far too manly to shriek, so you confine yourself to... let's go with bellowing. Yes, bellowing and swearing and striking the beast mightily with what are in no way girly slaps.

"Draco, language!" Mum stupefies the ginger menace and ruthlessly pulls its jaws apart, heedless of the shopkeeper's pleas for her to be gentle. She flinches at the sight of the deep but tiny wounds. "Come along, darling, we'll be at St Mungo's before you know it-"

[X] Agree. Fuck this hurts!

[X] "Mum, it's okay!" Hey, if you didn't want a pet with some go in 'im you wouldn't have asked to see the cat in the first place. >:3

Butbutbut... I didn't ask to see the cat!

[X] Agree. Fuck this hurts!

 

[Scia]

And now I am just waiting for us to develop rabbies OR becoming a werekitten.

Mum eventually caves, like she always does when you really want something, but insists that the filthy creature must have a bath the minute you get home. Never thought you'd say this, but thank heaven for house elves.

This means you miss lunch with Father, so you decide to dedicate your afternoon to

[X] Scrapping with your new pet.

[X] Cracking open your schoolbooks. You finally have a wand. Let's start fucking with reality.
-> [X] What spells do you wanna try?

[X] Write-in?

 

[Vindictus]

[X] Cracking open your schoolbooks. You finally have a wand. Let's start fucking with reality.
-> [X] Incendire? There's a spell for setting things on fire? Hells yes!

 

[R.A.G.]

[X] Cracking open your schoolbooks. You finally have a wand. Let's start fucking with reality.
-> [X] Wait. There's a spell to make light...backlighting at will!

 

[Selias]

[X] Scrapping with your new pet.

In the words of Gajeel Redfox, "I will make this guy my cat!"

 

[hunter09]

[X] Scrapping with your new pet.

 

[Guile]

[X] New spells!
Fire has bad memories. But apparently bewitching snowballs to fly around and target people is a first year thing. Anything becomes a bludger. This has... potential.

[FurikoMaru]

[X] I know if I can hit once, I can hit twice

Did you know velvet curtains cost sixty galleons a yard?

Well, now you do.

Granddad insists you be denied further access to your wand until you're sent to Hogwarts, but he's not home often enough to make it stick; the state of things at the Wizengamot these days with that Arthur Weasley bloke trying to get a hearing for his Muggle Protection Act makes for many nights of Abraxas Malfoy sleeping in his ancestral quarters at the Ministry while Draco Malfoy practices his Locomotor Mortis. Whaddya know? Muggles are actually good for something.

By the time you step through that barrier on September the First you've gotten down several first-year spells (though not, sadly, Incendire - you really do have the most terrible luck with fire) along with one or two second-year spells. Your Alohamora is particularly prompt in its effect, and your Expelliarmus has, through sheer bloody-minded effort, reached a point where you feel like you're perfectly capable of rendering a fellow first-year disarmed for a proper dust-up.

Your Wingardium Leviosa is pretty lacklustre, but who cares? You've got the two Ps down (Pummelling and [Lock]-Picking), you're set for the year ahead.

Your eyes search the crowd for Blaise, but Mum drags you over to two old bags, one fat and one thin, with the most obsequious smiles you think you've ever seen. And you're a Malfoy, which means you've seen a lot.

Mum greets the ladies and the two hairy boulders beside them, who after a moment you realize must be their sons.

"Draco," Mum says, "these are Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle."

"I'll bet they are," you say before you can stop yourself. Mum gives you a severe look, but you're still too surprised to care. Bloody hell, did you just get minions for your Hogwarts present?

[X] Right, you've met them, Mum's seen that you've met them, their mothers've seen that you've met them, honour is satisfied. The second you're on the train you can ditch them and go looking for your actual friends. You remember what having underlings is like; you need those headaches like you need a hole in your head.

[X] And to think you were complaining about not getting a broom! Oh, this is too good, they're even trying to loom, bless them. You've gotta learn the charm to make music play when you enter a room; the Imperial March was made for a Malfoy.

[X] Ugh. Poor bastards don't look any happier about this than you do. Well, you can at least give them a shot; no sense being a prick about it.

[Redon]

Wait... do we even have actual friends?

 

[FurikoMaru]

Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott. That's it, pretty much.
