"If you don't like your own character there may be a new one ready-made and waiting for you. The snake sheds its skin with impunity, relying on the same nature which you rely on."

'Awesome.'

Draco Malfoy looked around himself. Everything was suddenly massive, and Draco understood why.

He had managed to transform into his animagus form. Successfully, by the look of it. Now, the only problem was to find out what he was.

He was long, and slender, but that didn't tell him much. Spotting a full-length mirror at the other end of the Slytherin sixth year's dorm, he made his way for it.

It was disconcerting. He was used to walking on two legs, but now he had none. Somehow he managed to make his way to the mirror, and gave his new self a look.

'Excellent'.

In the mirror, looking back at him was a snake. He wasn't sure what kind of snake, but he had seen a picture of it before. The Malfoy heir knew he was now very venomous. But he just couldn't remember the name. Started with 'I'...

'Oh well', thought Draco. 'Now to change back...'

Draco focused on his magic, and then on his human form, and forced himself to change.

Well, that's how it was meant to go. Except, when he tried, nothing happened.

He tried again, but the results stayed the same.

'Oh, shit'.

He was stuck.

As a snake.

No one could understand him. They'd probably kill him on sight.

Except for two, actually.

One of them, he'd never go to for help, as he would definitely be killed on sight. However, the other one... He'd have to go quickly, because the Hogwarts Express would be leaving soon for the summer holidays.

Hopefully, Draco could play to the Golden Boy's Gryffindor's side...

A/N:

Also, can anyone tell me what 'Oxyuranus' mean? And what type of snake is belongs to. I know it, but I wonder who else does. If it helps any, Oxyuranus should mean something in Latin, or maybe it's the entire name... Hm, I'm not sure, but if you can tell me what type of snake Draco is, I can tell you the entire name, and it's Latin meaning.
