Harry Potter the strangest 10 year old boy ever

Disclaimer: not my anything


6 Pet-dragon

Draco opened his eyes slowly. He still felt a bit disorientated and couldn’t comprehend why he was lying on the floor, but felt quite comfortable none the less. His back was cold from the hard stone floor of the classroom but on the other hand his shoulders and head were resting on a warm pillow.

When the Slytherin opened his eyes he looked directly into two unnaturally large green orbs.
“Welcome back to the land of the living.” called a happy voice near his ear. When the blonde didn’t move, staring at the face above him, his cushion started to wiggle.
“Come-on Dray! Class is over and we have to hurry to get to transfiguration on time.” came the whine from above. “Professor McGonagall told me that we are starting tests for animagi today. I want to know what animal I will be. Draaaayyy!”

The last loud cry finally shook Draco out of his stupor. He sat up, still a bit dazed as his backpack was showed into his hand. With a lot of dragging on Harry’s part, he got onto his feet and out of the classroom. In the corridor they were stopped by the pupils who had Potions after them. Everyone goggled at the two, the girls in the bunch blocking their way as they tried to pet Harry.

“No, we are late! Get lost! Women! Get your fingers off my head! I’m no puppy and if I were, I would definitely bite you!”

That roar of his little lion shocked Draco awake enough to pick Harry up and with a final sneer at the girls, they were gone. When the corridor was clear again, the small boy was dropped and they started to run in honesty. This time Draco had to drag Harry along, who was fast for a small ten year old boy, but couldn’t keep up with a long-legged seventh year.

They made it just in time, collapsing into their seats. The professor raised her head, facing the class she searched out Harry’s gaze and kept it for a moment. She smiled and with a soft “Welcome back, Mister Potter” the class started.

As Professor McGonagall explained that most of them wouldn’t be able to become an Animagus and so on, Draco examined Harry for the first time in earnest since he’d awoken. Next to him sat a tiny Harry Potter with big eyes and a large smile on his face.

Slowly Draco started to get to the fact that Harry was now the Harry Draco knew, only in his ten year old body. What really confused him was that his Harry never had been that kind of hyper.

He had to know if anything was wrong with the little boy. Asking aloud was no option because Professor McGonagall would have his head for disturbing Harry while he was paying so much attention to her lecture for once in his live. So Draco decided to pass him a note.

A few moments later he heard a hardly suppressed giggle from the raven haired boy. While Professor McGonagall told them something about the dangers that can occur in the training phase, Harry had drifted off enough to read the note.

Draco had to wait a few minutes before he was poked under the table with a piece of paper.

Everything is all right! I’m just not how I was used to be. ;-)
I’m a healthy ten year old on a sugar-high. I guess you can
imagine how many times I felt like that when I was younger.
Oh and you might want to stop me the next time I want to eat
pancakes with chocolate sauce for breakfast. :-)

Draco didn’t believe that there was any reason to be all happy. It only testified to how bad his lion had been treated by his relatives. If he had to decide, Harry would get to eat anything he desired. Draco found happy, little, Harry extremely adorable. He had to suppress the urge to hug and cuddle the smiling boy every other moment.

Soon Professor McGonagall had finished her mind-the-risks-speech and started to explain what they would do this lesson.

“Today we will check to see if any of you have the potential of become an animagi. I will cast a spell on you, which will reveal the animal you can change into. If you do not change, you lack the ability to become an animagus. Please keep in mind that most of you will not be able to change at all. The ministry decided to test everyone, based upon the recent acknowledgement of the advantages that can occur with the talent.”

She let her eyes linger on Harry with an unreadable look.

One pupil after the other was called to the front and had to return to their seat directly after they were spelled. The first who turned was a Hufflepuff girl. She changed into a little caramel coloured rabbit with blue eyes.

When Hermione was spelled you could see how she held her breath and let it leave with a disappointed sigh when she didn’t change.

Then it was Dracos turn. He stood proud and didn’t let anyone see how anxious he was. The blonde just knew that Harry would have the potential and Draco wanted to share this with him.

The moment the spell hit him a prickling sensation spread through his whole body. Suddenly he found himself on all fours, looking up to a rather tall Professor McGonagall. When he looked down to see his hands he stared at two big paws. They were covered with thick pure white fur.

Unexpectedly Draco caught a glimpse of something twitching at his right side. He turned to get a better view but it was always a bit faster than he was. It seemed to him as if the thing wanted to mock him with its speed.

A sudden loud giggle startled him out of his chase. When he turned to the noise he saw his little green-eyed kitten smiling at him. When Draco recognised his little companion he got the sudden urge to cuddle into the boy and to make Harry pet him.

Without hesitation, he jumped onto the desk and started to nuzzle Harry’s neck and all other parts of the upper body he could reach while he lay on the table. When Harry got over his surprise and began to scratch the white tiger behind his ears, the whole room could hear the loud purr that came from the cat.

Draco was so lost into the cuddling that he jumped when he heard the voice of Professor McGonagall ringing in his ears.

“Thank you, Mr Malfoy for the presentation on what happens if you give control to your instincts. We can be glad that you and Mr Potter have ceased your quarrel.” Was the smug comment to his untypical behaviour.

“I think you should go back to the others, or we might have to come out of the cupboard earlier than we wanted to. Friendship, most will be able to accept but from enemies to boyfriends in one day might be a bit too much, especially for the Slytherins.” whispered Harry into the tiger’s ear, sounding utterly amused.

After a last pet on the head, Draco jumped off the table to swagger towards the rabbit and Professor McGonagall.
When he had settled dawn the testing continued.

When Harry was called to the front, the room became quiet. Everyone wanted to know what he would change into. It was quite obvious to everyone that it would be a question of what and not if.

The tension grew higher and higher until Harry couldn’t take it any more and started to whine.
“Professor McGonagall, could you hurry a bit?! I’m so curious.”

As he was finally spelled everyone expected something big and mighty…a stag, a lion, or maybe even a magical animal. What no one expected was to hear a high “meow” from a tiny ball of black fur.

Big green eyes looked into the faces of humans and animals until they found the one they were searching. The black kitten lumbered towards the grey eyes that were watching him with amusement. When he arrived at the tiger, Harry tried to scramble over the paws that lay in his way. He wanted to greet Draco with a kiss but got distracted as soon as he saw the slowly moving tale of the bigger cat. He tumbled off the paw and crouched down to fix his eyes on the end of the tail.

Draco was still amused by his little companion and started to move his tale as near to Harry as he dared, always removing it just before he would pounce. They were both so distracted with their play that they didn’t pay any attention to the discussion that took place in the classroom.

“Harry is adorable but I expected something bigger and more powerful.”
“I agree with you and for a cat he seems to be very clumsy.”

Having heard similar statements from nearly every person in the room Hermione lost her temper.

“Is no one, except me, wondering if Harry might not be full-grown in his momentary form?” she snarled “If you would ask me I would say that he is a black panther. Of course he will stay smaller than Draco, but a tiger isn’t called the king of the forest for nothing. Being the biggest cat of prey in the world has its amenities. Evidently, a Panther is also capable of tearing a human apart without the help of anyone else.”

After that speech, no one looked at the bundle of joy with the same carefree eyes. Professor McGonagall waited for some tension filled moments until she called for the next pupil to come forth.

Until Ron was called, the two cats had snuggled against each other and were fast asleep.
Ron didn’t expect to change. Harry had changed, as expected and Hermione had unexpectedly not changed. So he couldn’t lose no matter what happened.

When the prickling sensation started to spread through his body he was overjoyed. Every animal would be okay, not including rat and ferret of course. The moment the change was over he was flooded with a wave of new sensations. He could hear everything and he didn’t even start to try to name the things he could smell. At first he thought he had taken after Sirius, becoming a dog, but when the attempt to bark ended in a howl he looked a bit uncertainly in Hermione’s direction.

“Don’t try to look like a homeless puppy, Ron. That doesn’t suit a wolf. Don’t worry your fur is brown with just a bit red around the neck.” came the joyous answer from Hermione.

‘When Hermione is happy again, maybe I should try to follow Draco’s example and get her to scratch me behind the ears as well.’ Ron happily thought while he trotted towards his girlfriend.

Professor McGonagall didn’t even try to call him to the front again when he set down next to Hermione putting his head in her lap. After every pupil was tested Professor McGonagall told the class that those who had changed had to stay behind to get the information about their new lessons. The others were free to do what they wanted until lunch.

With a sigh the professor set down behind her desk and waited until the classroom was quiet again.
