Back to the Malfoys
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“But Dad! It could be anywhere!” Draco whined.

“Look, Draco, I am working on it. A Malfoy DOES NOT whine, Draco. I thought I’d taught you better.” Lucius snapped.

“Dad, Niveus could be starving to death right now! It isn’t exactly easy to find Niveus as your birthday present, you know.” Draco lied smoothly.

“Do you have a faster way?” Lucius sneered.

Draco squealed. “We could put up posters! Like muggles do when they lose their dog! We do live in a muggle neighbourhood, after all.”

Lucius scowled. “We will not be doing this the muggle way! We’re wizards! Be proud! We are better than the mudbloods! I will not lower myself to the level of a mudblood!”

Draco rolled his eyes and walked out of the room.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Harry groaned as he tolled over on the cold floor. He was incredibility bored. He had been doing nothing but sleeping all day. Seriously, Harry didn’t think the muggles could even resist a cute, cuddly little puppy like him.

A woman walked in the cell and crooned. “Come here, little boy…come here!” She kneeled down and clapped her hands happily.

Harry jumped up from his bed and ran over to the woman, jumping excitedly and licking her hands.

()()YES!!! Finally some people!!()()

“Oh, you’re such a sweetie.” The woman cooed, “Such a sweet boy…”

Harry, still licking the woman’s face and waggling his tail, stopped and looked into the woman’s blue eyes with his own green ones.

“Oh…such lovely eyes…I haven’t seen a golden retriever with green eyes before,” The woman petted Harry, “I supposed I could adopt you…poor baby…”

Harry froze at the words of adoption, and walked around her, nuzzling her clothing to find any trace of a wand. No, he couldn’t be adopted by a muggle, and then he’d never get to Hogwarts and possibly live the rest of his life as a dog. He had Voldemort to defeat and he is not giving up just because he got turned into a dog because of he wasn’t smart enough to think of the consequences when he transferred.

Harry whimpered and tried to wriggle out of the woman’s arms.

“Aren’t you excited? We’re going to a new home! I have two kids…they’re wonderful…I’m sure they’re going to LOVE you!!”

But what were the odds that a wizard would find him? Very few people had even considered having a dog as their pet. But he knew that Lucius Malfoy would not give up finding his own Birthday Present. No, he was too cute and cuddly to be abandoned by Malfoys.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Dad!” Draco growled. “Are you making any progress?”

“Draco, patience is the key.” Lucius snapped and flipped through the paper.

“I’m not going to lose Niveus like we lost Mischief! I know you like him!”

Lucius sighed. “Draco, this is not about liking Niveus or not. I am doing the best I can!”

“Put out the posters.” Draco said firmly.

“What?”

“I said, put out the posters! We already lost Mischief because you didn’t agree to put them out! We are NOT losing Niveus!”

Lucius sighed.

“Fine, fine.”

Draco beamed.

“I’ll get the papers!”

Somehow, they had named their new dog Niveus. A few years ago Draco had a white puppy named Mischief. They found it on the streets and took him in. On the third day Mischief ran away. The Malfoy tried but never found it, and Draco was so happy to have a white puppy in the house again. No, he would not let history repeat itself.

(Flashback)

“Dad, don’t tell me all you’ve got is Whiskey!” Draco said incredulously.

“I’m not exactly good at naming things, Draco, if your mum hadn’t named you Draco; your name could have been Bob for Merlin’s sake!”

“Bob Lucius Malfoy,” Draco repeated in shock, “Do I look like a Bob to you?”

“Draco.” Lucius grunted out warningly.

“Bob Malfoy.” Draco muttered under his breath.

“Look, why don’t you name it?”

Draco looked thoughtful.

“Let’s call it Niveus!”

“Niveus?” Lucius repeated unbelievingly.

“Yeah! It means snow in Latin.”

Just when Lucius was about to retort, Draco interrupted.

“Hey, it’s loads better then Whiskey or Bob.”

Lucius swallowed whatever he was about to say and cursed under his breath.

“Fine.”

Draco looked victorious.

(End Flashback)

“So we need to charm then everywhere in the neighbourhood, right?” Draco asked, waving the stack of paper in his hand.

“Yes.” Lucius answered, rubbing him temples.

“You put a £2000 reward?” Draco scanned over the poster, staring at his father.

“What? Is it too little?” Lucius leaned over and asked, he waved his wand and pointed it to the stack of posters. The number changed into £5000. “Will that do?”

“Dad, do you have any idea how much is a pound in the muggle world?” Draco asked.

“Isn’t it like a knut?” Lucius asked confidently.

Draco laughed.

“No, it’s like half a Galleon.”

Lucius dropped the paper he was holding.

“Oh.”

“People will think this is a joke or something,” Draco continued, “Seriously, 5000 pounds? Do you seriously not know how much a pound is or are we too rich for normal people?”

Lucius was fighting a blush coming on his face.

“You can’t expect me to know everything.” Lucius growled and swished him wand, changing the reward to £100, “It’s about mudbloods, nonetheless. Malfoys do not interact with mudbloods.”

Draco rolled his eyes.

Lucius growled. “I saw that.”

Draco scoffed. “Do you think we can put those numbers we have on the fellytone just incase the muggles are too lazy to deliver?”

“Fellytone? The box with numbers on it?” Lucius asked, “I suppose. How do we find out what our number is?”

“Dad, it says on the box.”

Lucius leaned closer. “0162 866 0089. Add that to the poster.”

Draco flicked his wand and pointed to the stack of paper.

“Dad, do you know how to use it?” Draco said.

“No. But it won’t be hard. After all, this is a muggle device. I do believe that we wizards can figure it out.”

“I hope.” Draco said under his breath.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Here it is!” The woman gathered Harry into her arms and jumped up and down excitedly. “Our new home!”

The house was absolutely huge. It was at least five stories tall and made of limestone. The house had it’s own hill, and a huge pool surrounding it.

On the streetlight was a Lost Poster.

Lost

A white Golden Retriever puppy, appears to be about 8 months old, has bright green eyes. If found please return to the address 1 Barons Place BA14, alternatively please leave a message at 0162 866 0089. The reward will be £100. Your help is appreciated.

The Malfoy Family



()()YES!! Oh, oh, lady, look over here!!()()

Harry jumped up and ran to the streetlight. He stood on his back legs and put his paws on the poster and waggled his tail.

“Oh, what do we have here,” the woman giggled. “Oh, a lost poster.”

The woman read the poster over. Her expression changed from curious to shock as she examined Harry.

“You’re such a smart puppy!” She breathed and picked Harry up again. “How did you know you’re on the poster?”

Harry waggled his tail.

“Do you want to go back?” the woman asked.

Harry barked happily.

“Well then, I’ll take you back. You would have made a wonderful show dog, it almost seems like you can read.” The woman said as she carried Harry into the house to make the phone call.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Hey dad, have you ever heard of Animal Control?” Draco asked as a white trunk passed by the windows.

“Oh, yeah. They pick up stray animals on the street and put them in the animal shelter so people can take adopt them.” Lucius said carelessly.

“Do you think Niveus could be in the Animal Shelter?” Draco asked curiously.

“Yes, he could.” Lucius said and turned the page of the book he was reading. Then the conversation sank in. Lucius froze. Why hadn’t he though about his before? Niveus could be at the Animal Shelter all this time…and he even let his own son to convince him to put out posters!!

“Why don’t we go now and check if he’s there?” Draco asked slowly. His dad was getting slower and slower everyday.

“That would be a wonderful idea.” Lucius muttered and bookmarked the page he was on.

The phone rang just as the Malfoys closed their door.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Hi, this is the Beggans Family. I seem to have found your dog. Give me a call when you’re available, my number is 0162 865 0923. Thank you.”

The woman hung up the phone and turned to Harry.

“Well, it seems they’re not home. You’re stuck with me for a little bit longer.”

Harry looked up from his beef.

()()Oh, yeah, no problem. I’ll stay as long as your give me food. The Malfoys have a telephone? I wonder what they’re doing…probably off at the Death Eater meeting. What’s in this beef? It tastes delicious.()()

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Excuse me; I seem to have lost a white Golden Retriever puppy with green eyes. Can you check your records?” Lucius leaned on the counter and asked the lady behind it.

“Certainly sir, one moment please…”

The Malfoys watched as the lady pressed some buttons on a board and looked into a black box.

“Yes, Ms. Beggans took him home about an hour ago.”

“Do you have the address of Ms. Beggans?” Lucius said politely.

“Oh…let me see…” the lady pushed some more buttons. “ Yes, the address is 24 Kingsholm Gardens.”

“Thank you. Draco, let’s go.” Lucius nodded to the lady before rushing out the building.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“We’re an hour late, Dad.” Draco growled, “If you’d thought about it earlier, we wouldn’t be spending all this time in this muggle…thing.”

“Be quiet. I’m not exactly good at driving a car.” Lucius frowned as he concentrated on the road.

Silence.

“Hey! Isn’t that a broom?” Draco shouted as he pointed to the sky. A broom flashed and then disappeared.

Lucius look up, unaware of the car’s directions. He frowned when there was nothing but clouds in the sky.

Draco teared his eyes from the sky and shouted when he realized their car was extremely close to the car in front of them.

“Dad! Slow down!” Draco shouted.

Lucius jumped at the loud voice and stepped him foot down. He was heading for the break but he stepped on the breaks.

There was a loud crashing sound and smoke came pouring out of the bonnet.

“Shit!”

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Mrs. Beggans hung up the phone again.

“What am I going to do with you?” She asked, “We’re going to Fiji in 2 hours, and the Malfoys still haven’t got home.”

Harry stopped pacing and let out a whine.

“I supposed I could drop you to their house. But you’ve got to stay outside. Okay?”

Harry ran to the woman and jumped into her lap.

“Okay, let’s go.”

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Well, Mr. Malfoy, I’m afraid I can’t let you go right now.” The police officer said.

“I have urgent business!” Lucius snapped.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Malfoy, but you’re not leaving until we call your insurance company!” The police officer was getting angry. “Now let me see your license.”

Lucius felt his heart missing a beat.

“License?”

“Your driver’s license, sir.” The police said impatiently.

Lucius only stared at him.

“Are you saying that you were driving without a license, sir?” The police’s voice rose. Lucius smiled weakly.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Okay,” The woman carefully put the leash around Harry’s neck and tied the other end to the doorknob. “You stay here, okay? Be good.” The woman kissed Harry’s head and headed off to the car.

Harry whined as he lied down on the doormat. The Malfoys had better get here soon. It had been a long time since he had eaten.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
