Walking along the corridor he barely looked up from the ground. He narrowly dodged many members of the ministry, although the closer he got to his destination, the less the staff around. He came to the door of the department of mysteries, and took a deep breath, then turned the handle. As he shut the door behind him, it closed and the room span. When he looked back, the door was gone. This was it... no turning back.
Severus looked down to the map, trying to figure out which door he was supposed to choose. The map showed that there were two black doors and a white one in the middle, yet there were two white doors with a black one in the middle. Having had to go through the leftblack one, he cursed, unsure which door to attempt. He pushed the black door, after taking a deep breath, and when he saw what was inside, he gasped. Around him were ar least 15 doors in a circular pattern, and when he looked back the door he had came from had disappeared. The map showed that there should just be one door at the end of the corridor, so he realsied he had gone through the wrong door and must get back - yet which door? Snape cursed, and finally decided to just choose a door at random. He took a deep breath, and decided to go through a yellow door with black spots. He turned the door knob slowly, and looked inside with a deep sense of woor and regret, as he was sure he would get it wrong.
He closed the door quickly, since the room was for some reason filled with badgers. What were badgers doing at the Ministry? Snape was confused. He glanced around the room at al of the creatures running about, and finally noticed a white badger that stood out among the rest.
"Hmmm..." mused Snape..."white animals mean "pay attention", but to what?" The white badger noticed Snape staring at it, and it wandered over to where Severus was standing.
"Professor," said the white badger, "this is really embarrassing, but I´m Draco, Draco Malfoy!"
"Malfoy? What are you doing here" Snape hissed.
The badger looks like it sneered. "It was the Dark Lords orders, but some idiot messed up with the transfiguration spell, and I turned into," he hesitates, "A badger!" he spits the word from his mouth and looks like he wouldn´t believe his bad luck.
Snape sneered, not even trying to hide the fact that it was funny. "What did he send you for?" he asked, not nothering to even offer to change him back. |
