Harry Potter And The Prince Of Slytherin 19 Three Headed Dog.

This time I am asking for Animagus form for Draco. I hate birds so not choosing any bird. I want a form that will be easy to sneak in places with and spy on people, so big forms are out of question. You can recommend something mythical or something made up too. I have already something in mind too,

1) a cat with two tails, (One side half and the other black) {Representing the good and bad sides of his nature.}

2) a snake(viper) but kinda against it since its too slow.

Give me some ideas you lazy readers...

-----------------------------------------------------

Next morning, During breakfast Hermione came over to the Slytherin table and started telling them a crazy story about the room in the restricted section of the third floor.

"So after we separated from you guys, we started walking back to the Gryffindor's common room, but as we're walking we heard Filch's voice again, So we quickly went to a nearby room. The room was locked so I used a spell to open it and we all went inside. Filch came in and looked at the door. Thinking the door was locked, he went back grumbling. We all sighed in relief when suddenly we heard a small growl from behind, We turned back to see what it was and to our surprise, there was a huge three-headed dog. Seeing that we all got scared and quickly ran out. Thankfully, no one got hurt."

"So you are telling us that there is a three-headed dog on the third floor?" Theodore asked

"Yeah! we saw it with our own eyes." Hermione said recalling the incident, "It was huge and it looked like it was guarding something."

"What was it protecting?" Pansy asked,

"Don't know." Hermione replied, "It was standing on top of a trap door."

"Interesting!" Daphne said, "So what do you think is in there Draco?"

"Probably an artifact of some sort must be something expensive though." Draco said.

*Death Note, Kira theme*

'Finally! They found it, I had to go through all that trouble of running here and there, remembering the paths so when they return they would have to go through the third floor. I even had to trouble myself with hinting Filch about us being in the Trophy room and the third-floor area. I was skeptical about my plan, since I made the whole plan, just so they could reach the third floor and get curious about what was inside it, I wasn't really sure that they would end up in that room but looks like they did.' Draco smiled knowing that his plan succeeded.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Theodore said, "It's creepy. It looks like you are planning something bad."

"You are the creepy one here." Draco retorted, "So Pansy when is your Quidditch practice?"

"Tomorrow, evening."

"Oh! Then it's fine!" As soon as Draco said that dozens of owl flew in carrying long parcels, most of them landed on the Slytherin's table and the other one landed on Gryffindors.

The parcels landed next to each Slytherin team players. They opened the parcel to see a brand new Nimbus 2000. Pansy seeing that quickly opened the Parcel that landed in front of her as well.

She squeaked excitedly, "Thank you, Draco!"

Draco didn't say anything and just smiled, the other Slytherin members came and thanked Draco as well, to which he just responded with a smile and a nod.

"Hey, you need to thank me as well." Theodore said, "I bought half of these brooms, you know."

"Thank you." Pansy said not even looking at him,

Theodore sighed in annoyance, "By the way Draco, did you buy Potter one as well?"

Everyone looked towards the Gryffindor's table and saw Harry had a new Nimbus 2000 as well.

"Nope! I didn't buy it." Draco said, "Why would you even think I will buy him one?"

"Well ever since we came to Hogwarts, I don't really understand you." Theodore said, "Maybe you felt generous and wanted to give things for free."

Draco rolled his eyes and didn't say anything,

"By the way, Draco! Did you really tie against the last year winner of 'All-England Wizarding Duelling Compet.i.tion.' I think her name was Mary Kate." Hermione asked,

Draco and Theodore coughed at the same time hearing that name.

"What! Draco that's awesome. I didn't know about it." Daphne commented, "You should partic.i.p.ate in that compet.i.tion next year, I am sure you will win."

"I read in the newspaper as well, but I kinda forgot about it." Pansy said, "Hey! tell us about how you defeated her."

Theodore and Draco stared at each other and stayed silent,

"What happened? Don't tell me it was a lie." Hermione asked in doubt.

"Yeah! And why do you look so worried? Both of you?"

"Sorry! It's not really a good memory to recall." Draco said, "We did tie in the duel but barely."

Looking at Draco who looked like he wasn't going to say anything else than that, The girls left it alone.

'That witch!' Draco and Theodore said underneath their breath.

----------------------------------------------------

Days pa.s.sed smoothly in Hogwarts without too much ha.s.sle, Draco and Theodore started to continue their experiments on the Antidote of Veritaserum. Their progress was good and Draco was sure with a little bit more time, they will succeed in it. Pansy joined the Slytherin's team's practice formally. Draco along with other Slytherin students will go over to the stadium to cheer up her sometime. Draco seeing Pansy happily flying with crazy skills made him very happy. Draco and Hermione still met up every Friday, in the library where Hermione would teach him History and Astronomy. Draco was getting good at both the subjects but not too much. Draco didn't care much about exams anyway, he was an heir to a rich family... even if he wasn't, he could still do a lot of things that will make him rich later on.

Draco had talked to Snape about the permission slips for the Library, which he got without much ha.s.sle. With the permission slip in hand, Draco could visit the restriction all he wants. So Draco started spending his remaining free time in the library, researching not only about spells but about other historical events as well. Even though Draco was knowledgeable about all the major incident that took place in the history, he was still unaware of many events, and the restricted section contained a lot of information on things and people, that couldn't be found outside.

In the remaining time when experimenting with Theodore, Draco created a new potion inspired by the multi-flavored-cake, which he named Noitop, which was potion spelled backward. The potion was more like a muggle perfume, the only difference was the smell of the perfume changed regularly according to a person's emotion. For example, if a person was in love, he would smell roses or if he was just happy the person would smell fresh autumn. And the most useful part is that the perfume helped counter certain bad emotions., like if a person was sad the person would smell lemongra.s.s, the light, earthy scent helped relieve some stress from people. The perfume smelled different for each people, so even if someone was in love and was smelling roses, the other person who smelled him would smell the emotion he/she was feeling and not roses. So just like the cake, you could never go wrong with this perfume.

(Was seriously struggling to describe the potion, I read an article before that explained how certain smells can trigger different emotions and memories so I used that concept, if you are confused, search smells and emotions and you are sure to get results.)

Draco contacted his father about the new potion and sent him a bunch of samples. His father after checking it with other potion master and determining whether the potion had side effects or not. He sent Draco a reply,

Dear Draco,

I tested the potions you sent with the help of other potion masters. And concluded that the potion was harmless and the results were the same as you said they were. I discussed with some of my peers who really loved the smell of it and suggested me that I sell the potion formula to them. After discussing with your Mother I have decided to sell the potion under our own brand instead of selling others the formula. I opened a new company under your name, I named the company 'Noitop Perfumes.' after the name of your potion. Which I hope you don't mind since I took the liberty in doing so.

Send me the potion formula next time so I can formally start the production of the perfumes. The company belongs to you, but I will take care of it for you until you finish school. If you have any suggestions for the company, feel free to leave so.

Also, when you come home for Christmas, there is a surprise waiting for you.

Your father,

Lucius Malfoy.

Draco was kind of dumbfounded when he heard about his potion being sell as a brand of its own. Draco had forgotten that this was possible as well since he spent most of his time researching and studying, he didn't really care about what happened to the potions he discovered. Thankfully Lucius managed where most of his potions went like if it was worthy enough to share in the newspaper or the potion wasn't much. Draco thought that his father made a really nice manager, he was shrewd and opportunist and had an excellent sight for good business.

Most potioneer wouldn't share their recipes with the outside world. Some pa.s.sed it as a family secret and some collected their research and published a book about it.

'Maybe I should publish a book, myself.' Draco thought

But right now he hadn't developed many potions that he could share with the world so he put that idea in the back of his mind. After satisfied with his father's idea, he quickly wrote a letter with the potion formula and send the letter back home. He didn't bother much with the name since he wasn't good at naming things, if Draco was in his father's place he would have done the same as well. Draco wondered what kind of surprise was waiting for him at home. Draco really missed being in his own house, fortunately, he always spend a lot of time in his suitcase and the suitcase itself could be carried around, so he didn't feel much sad about it.

Draco right now was reading about a spell or formation to be exact, which could help him build a house. Even though Draco had a lot of different rooms in his suitcase, he always wanted to build a house inside of it. So he could feel homely wherever he went. The drawing of the formation wasn't hard since all it needed was good mapping and drawing skills. The ingredients for the formation varied according to houses.

Draco being the extravagant person he is, chose the biggest and st.u.r.diest house, no mansion would be the right word for it. Made of up a fire/ weather repellent stone named Dark stone (Made up.), It was the st.u.r.diest material to build a house. The ingredients used to Draw the formation was also very expensive. That included Phoenix ashes, Elder wood ashes, Whomping Willow's ashes, Redwood ashes and Dragon's crushed egg sh.e.l.ls (Powder of crushed Dragon eggs.)

Money wasn't a problem, but the problem was the ingredients. Some of the ingredients like the Phoenix ashes, Redwood ashes, and Elder wood ashes were very rare. h.e.l.l, even the Dark stone was very rare and expensive and he needed it in large quant.i.ties. The Quant.i.ty of the Pheonix ashes and Dragon's sh.e.l.l were needed the lowest but other than these two, he needed a lot of the other ingredients. Draco sighed as he wrote another letter to his father asking him to help him find the materials for his house. Since Owlbert hadn't come back he used a school owl (The one used by students who didn't have owls) to send the letter home.

The other annoying fact about the Formation was, it needed 5 adult wizards to pour mana into it and chant the spell. Draco didn't worry much about this since it was written that other magical creatures could use their mana into building it as well. Draco planned to use the house-elf to do so.

(If you haven't realized it the whole Formation is made up, There is no formation in Harry Potter.)
