A Day At The Zoo

A Day At The Zoo:

Beware Of The Llama's!

* * * * * * *

"Potter, stuff it! I dislike being paired with you as much as you do!"

"Well you'd better!"

"Get a grip, Hero Boy!"

"Oh, you're such an ass, Ferret!"

"Well, Potter, you can't deny that ferrets are terribly cute creatures!"

Harry didn't now what to say for a moment. Why Harry was so shocked he didn't quite know. Was it that Draco had said something decent to him or that the Slytherin boy had used the word 'cute' for the first time in his life.

"Urm, no, actually, I don't think ferrets are cute." Harry regained composure of himself.

Draco huffed angrily. "I don't believe you, Potter! Have you even ever seen ferrets?"

This ofcourse was an open door for Harry. "Yes I have, and the one I saw could absolutely not be called 'cute'."

Draco glared daggers at Harry. The boy could be so annoying, but a great challenge at the same time.

"Come with me, Potter, I'll show you ferrets!" Draco grabbed Harry's lower arm and pulled him away. "We are going to visit some ferrets, which I presume they have here, in a zoo."

Harry rolled his eyes as Draco was pulling him with him, further into the dark woods of the London Zoo. Why the hell did Malfoy want to show him ferrets? Ferrets! For God's Sake!

All of a sudden, Draco had stopped walking.

"Harry, we are in mortal danger. Don't move."

Harry blinked a few times and raised his eyebrow.

"Urm, Malfoy? What the hell are you babbling about?"

Malfoy slowly moved his arm to the direction right in front of them, to a big field which presumably would be the cage of an animal.

"Llama's, Harry, llama's..." Malfoy whispered, staring at the field with a look of utter horror on his face.

Harry had to supress a giggle. Llama's? Those cute fluffy camel-like beasts? He'd rather cuddle with one than be afraid of them!

"Malfoy, I really think you'd see a doctor after we get out of the Zoo."

Draco slowly shook his head.

"No, Harry, I'm serious. Please, get me out of here!" Malfoy was shivering all over his body.

Harry felt a bit sorry for the Slytherin, seeing him so defenseless, so... rather adorable.

"HARRY!" Draco screamed.

The inevitable had happened. And actual llama had approached the barred fence and was staring at Draco.

Harry still couldn't understand Draco's fear for these utter sweet animals, but he knew he'd better get him out of here.

Draco was standing on his last strengths, trying to ignore the staring llama. Draco could feel it's evil powers radiate from the beast. He hated llama's. He knew they were preparing a conspiracy to overthrow the Muggle Government. He just knew.

And just as Harry grabbed Draco softly at his waist, starting to move him gently away, the llama did it. The llama spat a large drop of it's saliva directly onto Draco's face.

Draco yelled, screamed and cried out in horror.

"It's got me! It's the demon llama's! They're out to kill me!" Draco spoke terrified, clasping his hands in front of his mutilated face.

Harry rubbed his back in comfortment. He did feel sorry for Draco, but he had to admit it was pretty funny, how the llama had thrown his spit all over Draco's pretty face.

"Oh, Draco, don't worry. C'mon, we'll get you to a toilet and you can fresh yourself up!" Harry tried to raise Draco's spirits.

Draco nodded innocently, like he was a small child that needed to be comforted after he had hurted himself.

Harry had to hold Draco while they were walking, it seemed as if Draco would collapse without Harry's support to hold him upstraight.

The couple had reached the toilets and Harry pushed Draco forward through the door. Draco was rubbing his hands in his eyes feverishly.

"Harry, I think it's in my eyes! It hurts! Auw!" Draco muttered.

Harry smiled to Draco. "I'll help you." He grabbed a small soft towel and moistered it with a bit of water.

Harry moved Draco's head up with his hands, so that he could see his eyes.

"Draco, stay like that, otherwise I can't clean your eyes."

The blonde boy nodded lightly.

Harry started to remove the sticky llama saliva from Draco's eyes, cheeks and there was even some of it on his lips. Now even Harry didn't think it was funny anymore. Draco was hurt really bad, not to speak of the emotional trauma the llama's had inflicted on the boy.

"Here, you're spick and span again!" Harry said, brushing his hands through Draco's perfect blonde locks.

Draco opened his eyes slightly and smirked. "At least I didn't loose my eyesight."

Harry giggled. "You know, those llama's were indeed very scary!"

"Yeah yeah, Potter, thanks for making me feel better, and probably for saving my life. But now everything's back to normal. Right?"

"Yes. Ofcourse it is." Harry said, but he couldn't supress a feeling of dissapointment.

"So, still want to show me your ferrets?" Harry asked.

Draco nodded. "Duh! You weren't getting away from that for sure! I'll prove to you how utterly cute ferrets can be!"

After a rather short walk they had finally reached the so-called 'Ferret Farm'.

"They could have been a bit more creative of the name of this little building, don't you think?" Harry commented.

Draco sighed. "Potter, why do you have to comment on everything? Even if it so unsignificant that nobody even notices that it's there? You're the only one!"

Harry growled. "Malfoy! I was just trying to start a civil conversation!"

"If discussing the name of the ferret habitat is your idea of a civil concersation, thank you, but I'll pass."

"Oh shut up, let's go in and meet your family."

"Attention-Seeking-Git!"

"Oh, now you really hurt my feelings, Malfoy!" Harry clasped his hands around his heart dramatically and opened the door to the 'Ferret Farm'.

Before Draco could respond with a snappy remark, he was totally overwhelmed by the creatures right in front of him. The room in which they were standing was darkened for the ferrets and in glassy small habitats there were all sorts of ferrets dangling around. They were the cutest creatures that Draco had ever seen.

"Awww! Harry! Don't you think they're the cutest?" Draco cried out, hurrying towards the glass wall and seating himself down in front of it.

Harry giggled at the sight of Draco staring at the ferrets, looking extremely contempt.

"Yeah, sure, Draco, they're cute." Harry said as he seating himself next to Draco.

"Uh?" Draco suddenly said.

"Uh?" Harry asked.

"Uh!"

"Ow!"

"No, I wanted to say that you called me Draco."

Harry blushed and fumbled on the zipper of his coat. "Ow, I didn't notice."

Draco smirked and nudged Harry's arm with his hand. "You did notice, silly."

"No-no, really."

Draco leaned his head forward, closer to Harry's. "You were really sweet, rescuing me from the demon llama's[1] and all, you know that?"

Harry smiled shyly. "Oh, it was nothing. You were looking so adorable." Harry had said it before he realised he said it. Fuuuuuuuuuuck!

"Adorable?"

God. Malfoy's going to kill me! Harry closed his eyes, to be better prepaired to the smack or punch he was going to receive.

But then he felt a soft pair of lips touching his. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't. Those lips, they were intoxicating, they were casting a spell over him.

Draco was licking Harry's lips with his velvety tongue, tracing the patterns of his lips. Harry could do nothing, just sit there and give in. Draco bit Harry's lower lip, ever so softly. Harry moaned.

Then Draco locked his lips on Harry's lips and his tongue entered Harry's wanting mouth. Their tongues battled, fought for domination and licked the other. There was nothing, just the two of them and their kiss. Their lips, moving with suction against eachother. Their tongues moving, swirling, twirling in their mouths.

But then Draco broke the kiss, to get some air. His hair was ruffled, his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were twinkling.

Harry stared at the blonde Slytherin, his mouth still open. Harry was thoroughly dazed by Draco's kiss.

"God."

"Yeah, I know, I'm pretty good at snogging." Draco smirked.

Harry nodded slowly.

"Yes you are."

"Mummy! Daddy! Come look here! Naughty boys!" a little blonde girl screamed behind their backs, pointing at the two of them.

"Hush! Emily! That's not nice!" the mother warned the little girl.

Both Harry and Draco got up to their feet at the same time, staring in eachother's eyes.

"We'd better get out of here." Harry suggested and he pulled Draco with him.

Outside the sunlight was so bright that it hurt their eyes.

"So."

"So?"

"So, what now?" It was Harry who had asked the question.

"Nothing I guess." Draco shrugged.

They had started walking again and were wandering mindlessly through the Zoo.

"I like you, you know." Harry admitted, while blushing and staring at the ground.

"You do?" Draco's eyes grew wide.

"Yes, and not just now. I've like you for a while."

"Really? You did? Hell, Potter, I didn't even know you'd fancied guys!"

"Harry. It's Harry, not Potter."

Draco smiled and slid his hand into Harry's.

"See that I was right?"

"How were you right, then?" Harry asked baffled.

"I said I'd show you ferrets and you'd find them utterly cute!"

Harry smiled. "Yes, okay, you are right. I do find you utterly cute!"

And so they continued their journey through the London Zoo, holding hands and stealing kisses once in a while.

But what Harry and Draco didn't know was that a very dangerous thing was walking behind them... ready to jump them and make their lives a living hell.
