Harry Potter And The Slytherin’s Prince - Chapter 55 First Creature.

“What do you say, buddy?” Draco said taking out a treat and pushing it forward. Draco stood up and released the bind on it. The murtlap started moving around the food slowly and went for it.

Draco smiled seeing that and looked at the empty space in front of him.

‘So the books finally gonna be useful.’ Draco thought going back to his small library that he had created and came back with an old book in his hand along with a pouch.

Draco then started taking out some ingredients from the pouch and started mixing it all together. He moved a little forward and started drawing a formation with a lot of foreign language on it. The Murtlap had finished its food and was staring and Draco wondering what was he doing.

Draco after a while finally finished the formation and stuck his wand on the center of the the formation chanting, “O mi Deus creare parva lacus”

The formation started shining brightly as Draco took his wand out and slowly backed away. The ground started shining further and further and soon the light covered a certain area. The light slowly started to vanish and what appeared in front of them was a small beautiful lake with crystal clear water in it.

“Success.” Draco though out loud. He looked at the Murtlap, “You know this is my first time using a formation and it worked very well than expected.”

The Murtlap looked at him and just stayed silent.

Draco rolled his eyes as he blew a hole on the ground near the lake, “Go along now it’s your new home.” He said, “I don’t know much about your habitats other than the fact that you leave near water sources, So I will leave it up to you to design your home the way you want to and I will feed you according to schedules, which I will create for you after doing some research.”

The murtlap just stood there lazily,

“Obviously he doesn’t understand you,” Draco said to himself as he took out another treat and threw it at the hole he had just made. The murtlap quickly went over there and started eating it, after a while it started digging a bit and settled down, sleeping.

‘Hope it stays there.’ Draco thought to himself as he went back to towards the room. The room was locked so something can’t really walk into it casually but still, Draco wanted to be sure since there are many expensive kinds of stuff in there. He made another formation but this time it was a simple barrier which prevented people from walking in without the permission of whoever made the formation. He created the formation three more times securing all the rooms as much as possible. Since this was his first time owning a pet, Draco was quite nervous about it.

Draco went out of his suitcase, he looked at the clock and was shocked to find that it was already morning. Draco had a habit of staying up late so it wasn’t a big deal for him but today since he created a heavy formation and some smaller ones, and used some magic here and there, he was very exhausted.

Draco went over and kicked Theodore off of his bed.

“What!!” Theodore looked around scared only to find Draco grinning at him. “Why the fuck did you kick me!!”

“Get up, it’s already morning!” Draco said yawning.

“But I haven’t even slept properly yet.”

“Quit acting like a baby!” Draco said sighing, “Don’t you want to go check on Potter and Weasley?”

Theodore looked still annoyed but when he heard the latter part he started to quickly change into his robes. “Let’s go.”

Both of them went out towards the hospital wing. The Hospital wing is located on the first floor, the hospital wing is where Hogwarts residents go to have their medical needs met. Within the hospital wing, there are lots and lots of beds with white sheets, privacy screens, and bedpans. The entrance has double doors and Madam Pomfrey’s office is part of the hospital wing complex.

Madam Pomfrey seeing them trying to enter quickly came over.

“What is it?” She asked in a strict tone.

“We are here to meet Potter and Weasley.” Theodore said, “They were admitted here last night.”

Madam Pomfrey looked at them for a while and shook her head, “Both of them are in a serious condition so I don’t want anyone to disturb them, so go back you two.”

“Actually we are here for our checkup as well.” Draco quickly added, “We were out in the forbidden forest with them as well, so the Professor wanted us to have a quick checkup.”

Draco quickly lied, considering Madam Pomfrey character, she wouldn’t let them enter without any valid reason.

Madam Pomfrey though for a while and nodded since it didn’t seem like a lie. “Get in then.” She said, “But be sure to not disturb the others, I will be back in a while.”

Draco and Theodore nodded and headed in.

“You are learning!” Theodore said giving Draco a thumbs up. “See, being around me is really useful.”

“Pretty sure, Cho doesn’t think so.” Draco said rolling his eyes.

“Cho doesn’t mind me actually.” Theodore said, “She is just afraid of you.”

“Afraid?” Draco snorted, “I tried being friends with her but she still views me as a someone dangerous? Hmph! Are you sure you still like her?”

“Maybe…” Theodore said silently, “Hey look.”

The moment they walked in a sudden flame started rising from a curtain closed bed with a long farting noise. It was more like a flamethrower to be exact.

“Ow!!” They heard Ron moan in pain.

Draco and Theodore who were here to make fun of them flinched, feeling sorry for them.

“Hey! Do you think we went a bit far?” Theodore whispered,

“I don’t know.” Draco replied, “They tried to expel us so I think its okay but it will depend on how long he is going to shoot fire.”

“Where’s Harry?” Theodore asked looking around only to find Harry in the bed sweating heavily.

“That must be pretty painful,” Draco whispered.

A moment later Madam Pomfrey came over and did a little checkup on them, after figuring out that they were fine she gave both of them a piece of chocolate.

“Here–” Madam Pomfrey said, “You are all fine, so get going, don’t be like that other girl!”

“Other girl?”

“The brown hair, Gryffindor girl.” Madam Pomfrey said, “She’s been here two times already.”

“I see.” Draco said figuring it was Hermione, As they were about to leave another fart noise started with flames rising up to the ceiling along with a loud painful moan from Ron. “Are they going to be fine?”

“Sigh! The herbs will arrive tomorrow.” Madam Pomfrey replied. “They can only be recovered after that.”

Draco nodded and both of them went to the great hall. In the great hall, everyone was waiting for them to reveal what had happened since Potter and Weasley were missing, a weird rumor that both of them were injured by Draco rose up.

“Did you do anything to them?” Hermione came over to them and asked before they could even sit at the table.

“No.” Draco replied honestly.

“What about you?” She said looking at Theodore,

“I didn’t.” Theodore lied, “Some Murtlap’s did.”

“Murtlap?” Hermione was shocked, “No wonder Madam Pomfrey wouldn’t let me in.”

“We went there and Weasley was shooting some serious flames up his– you-know-what,” Theodore said making the gang laugh.”They will be fine by tomorrow, don’t worry.”

Hermione still suspicious sat by them.

“Didn’t Neville tell you anything?” Draco asked

“No, he hasn’t even got out of his room, I asked Seamus his roommate what happened and he told me that Neville was too scared to go outside.”

“Are you guys okay?” Hearing that Daphne quickly asked worried, she had been trying to stay up late to wait for them but unknowingly she fell asleep so she couldn’t greet them.

“We are fine.” Draco replied, “Some interesting things did happen, though.”

“Oh! What did?” Blaise asked.

“We found an injured unicorn in the forest.” Draco replied, “But luckily we managed to save them.”

“Really?” Daphne asked interestedly.

“Yeah! He’s in Hagrid’s hut right now, resting.” Draco said, “Wanna go and see?”

“Yeah!”

All of them went to Hagrid’s hut to meet the unicorn who was standing there gracefully.

Everyone was amazed by how beautiful the unicorn was.

“What are yah doin’ here?” Hagrid asked coming out with a bucket in his hand.

“We are here to check up on this fellow here,” Draco said. “He seems more healthy now.”

“It is, I fed the potion you gav’ to me, early this mornin’.” Hagrid replied, “I researche’ a little and found tha’ this unicorn is only 6 years old!”

“6?”

“Yeah! After it hits the 7th mark it will shine more beaut’fully than it is, right now.” Hagrid said looking at the unicorn, “Really, beautiful creatures, aren’t they.”

Everyone, especially the girls went up near the unicorn to pet it. The unicorns prefers a women’s touch especially a pure one so they are okay with it but to their surprise, the unicorn ignored them completely and went over to Draco’s side.
