~*~*Draco's POV*~*~

The Christmas holidays came just in time. Between taking care of Harry and dealing with the rest of the school I really wasn't in the mood to go to classes anymore. It wasn't Harry I had a problem with, it was every other student still claiming that I was drugging him. Even after that whole rigmarole.

I almost got hexed quite a few times but what Harry did seriously put a target on my back. There were two days of classes left before the Christmas holidays. Harry had been complaining about spending the majority of his time as a cat. I suppose his more dependent side wasn't so much in control.

I had expected it a lot sooner. I had even expected him to go back to his own room. He still chose to stay with me and it honestly made me happy. Even when Blaise accidently walked in and figured out Harry could change at will.

The target on my back came at dinner that same day. I had carried Harry like I normally did. Set him down on the table and sat down like usual. Everything seemed to be the same boring routine, and then Harry jumped off the table. He jumped off and changed into his human self in front of everyone.

I was too shocked to say or do anything as the whole Hall watched him. He pushed Blaise to the side and sat down next to me like it was nothing. He took a plate and dished his usual staple of fruit and started to eat. His actions were as if no one was watching him, but the entire Hall was stuck in stunned silence.

Harry finished eating and turned back into the kitten before crawling into my lap and falling asleep. When he did that my own trance was broken. I instinctively started to stroke his fur and turned to finish my food. Nothing was said for the rest of dinner because all you could hear were people just eating.

The next day it was like every single student was out to get me. If spells weren't getting shot at me I was getting called names. Some of the teachers even scoffed at me and treated me like shit. Harry still hissed and scratched at anyone trying to get close to him or even me.

Since it was the last day before the break Severus allowed me to stay in his class with Harry. It was nice and Harry mostly stayed in his human form. I didn't understand why he had done what he did but I didn't want to ask either. At dinner that night Harry did the exact same thing.

This time we were joined by two unwelcome guests. Harry simply ignored them and when he was done he curled up in my lap and went to sleep. The following week was the same even though we no longer had classes. Harry turned human at lunch, dinner and when we were alone. Every other time he remained as a kitten. I didn't want him to be forced into anything so I just let him do whatever he wanted.

"Draco." An elbow hit my side. "Will you wait here?"

"Sure Harry." I smiled and blinked away my memories.

Harry smiled at me but I could see he was scared. I ran my fingers through his hair to comfort him a little. To my surprise Harry hugged me and buried his face in the crook of my neck. I hugged him back of course. There was no way I was ever going to pass up that opportunity.

"I'll be right here when you're done, Kitten." I whispered.

Harry nodded his head and walked into Gringotts. I sat down on the stairs and started thinking about what would happen from now on. A part of me hated myself for bringing him here but I had made a promise. I was just scared of what the outcome would be because I loved Harry.

I knew that I had feelings for him before but spending all this time with him. Looking after him and keeping his secret. My feelings for him had only grown. Every time he chose me my heart skipped a beat. Every time I thought he'd leave my heart broke. Even if I upset him or hurt him he still stayed.

I had to wonder if maybe I had a chance with him. Even though I was sure he was straight. Then again I had to wonder about that too. No one knew he was a Little and if he dated a girl and had a break surely she would have told someone. Blaise, Severus and I were the only ones who knew about it.

Severus hadn't been able to figure out how to fix Harry even though I hoped he could. He had said something about Harry being a Little and how that might have had its own reaction with the potion. A reaction he couldn't figure out that's why he didn't try making an antidote.

"Young Mr Malfoy."

"Yeah?" I frowned.

"Mr Potter has been sent back to Hogwarts. He wished to return to you but we cannot allow that. We have sent letters to your professors explaining the situation."

"Oh. Okay thank you." I sighed. "Would you mind giving me a copy of the letter to read?"

The goblin nodded and handed me a page. It was almost like he had expected me to ask. My concern was that they shared his secret. Before I could open the letter I was handed another rolled up page. I frowned as I took it.

"If Mr Potter chooses to return to your care you may need to hold on to this for him. Additionally inside you will find a form that will need to be filled out. Do this before he turns back and he may stay with you even after. Given the delicateness of his situation I would imagine you both would prefer that." The goblin walked back into the bank after I took the scroll.

*~*~*

Dear Professors,

I, Griphook, have just spoken to and seen one, Harry James Potter. Mr Potter spoke to me about a potion gone wrong and the accident that followed. I have done a full work up on him and possible treatment to fix what happened.

Due to certain aspects of his family and history there is only so much I can do to rectify this mistake. As such I provided Mr Potter with two options. The one he chose has turned him back into the cat but this will be temporary as the potion now needs to leave his body completely.

Mr Potter has requested to be returned to the young Mr Malfoy however it is against the rules to do so. Since the boy has been sitting outside of Gringotts, I will only be able to send the young Malfoy heir back to Hogwarts following the delivery of these letters. Do not worry about him.

I have sent Mr Potter back to Hogwarts directly to madam Poppy Pomfrey in the hospital wing. I ask that his request be considered under the circumstances and that if the young Malfoy heir agrees Mr Potter returned to him.

Harry Potter's Financial Advisor at Gringotts,
Griphook

I sighed and put the pages into my Potions book. I needed to ask Severus about the application and if it really meant I could keep Harry with me. I wasn't too worried about it right now anyway. Harry was still sleeping even though an entire day had passed. Every time I went to the hospital wing it was the same.

Weasley and Granger yelled about not letting me take Harry. Severus and McGonagall argued about Harry's request. Dumbledore glared at me most of the time while Pomfrey checked on Harry. I refused to acknowledge any of them besides Severus and McGonagall because they didn't want to take Harry away.

I noticed Harry waking up before Pomfrey yelled. I wanted to smile and scoop him up but I knew I'd be stopped. I wasn't even listening to what was being said. I was focused on Harry alone. I watched him jump down and walk directly to me. My heart fluttered as I picked him up and left.

Harry chose me.
