"The bloody thing winked at me!" Draco said, looking disgustedly at Snape. Afraid the animal might sense his badgerly adverntures of the past, Draco hurridly held it out to Snape. Rolling his eyes, Snape grabbed the animal and, after conjuring up a bag, gently tossed it in. He then motioned Draco to do the same with the other three badgers. Draco disgustedly picked up a badger and threw it in , shivering at the wet touch of it. After much disgust, Draco finished and demanded, " There I'm done. Now what?"
"Well, leaving would be a good idea," Snape grunted and turned on his heels tp stride out of the door, but was held back by Karakov.
"Now, Now, Severus. No need to be nasty to the boy."
"Well, there are certainly times when a bit of nastiness, as you so cleverly put it, is in order", Snape responded with a smirk.
Draco rolled his eyes at the two 'grown-ups', collected the bag containing the bagders and marched towards the door.

Draco leered with disgust at both adults as he finally sauntered through the door, closing it softly behind him.

Now it was to get all three of them plus the four badgers out of the Ministry unnoticed. Snape frowned. The shortest way wasn´t the safest one, that much he knew.

"I´ve got only this one invisibility cloak," Severus said thoughtfully. "So maybe we ought to transfigurate you again?" he sneered at Draco.

Draco stared at Snape in disgust, "Maybe you should transfigure yourself!"
"Quarreling will make sure the Ministry notices us," said Karkaroff severely. "On the other hand ..." he stopped and looked slyly at the other two. If he let them fight, he might get all the glory and become the Dark Lord's favourite."

"I know Karkaroff," Snape said, staring at Draco, "That's why we must make Mr. Malfoy here be convinced that he must be transfigured."

Igor looked a tad disappointed by this, but then asked: "He´s merely a student, where´s the problem? At Durmstrang we have this thing called discipline ..."

Karkaroff and Snape took off at a brisk walk, their wands out and ready, Draco reluctantly following. He knew he had to somehow escape without the two adults...but how?

Karkaroff and Snape took off at a brisk walk, their wands out and ready, Draco reluctantly following. He knew he had to somehow escape without the two adults...but how?

Suddenly, an idea started coming to him.

He would have to time it very carefully, though, if he had any chance of succeeding. Perhaps the best move would be to throw them off guard, right....now!
