I have a curse. I always get endless story ideas in my head, but on the rare occasion that one actually gets typed or written, I for some reason can never finish it. "My Beloved Ferret" is my latest failure.
I realise that seeing as I've already written a little start it may look more like the beginning of a Round Robin, but I actually want to see what single authors do with this.
Before I get into my very vague plot plan, here is the beginning I actually wrote down (*gasp* big achievment for me!):

It was not funny, he would have been very quick to reassure you of that fact. It seriously was not funny. Things just weren’t supposed to turn out this way. It was twisted, it was cruel, and it was just plain wrong. A person of his character and stature should have had the Animagus form of a wolf, a snake, or most ideally (he would think with his trademark smirk) a dragon. Yes, a dragon. That would fit a particularly fine specimen such as himself just perfectly.
He was not supposed to undergo all the preparations expecting some magnificent creature, undergo the transformation expecting some magnificent creature, turn to the mirror expecting some magnificent creature, only to be faced with… with… my goodness, he couldn’t even think it. It was total embarrassment, complete humiliation. He could never face the wizarding community again, not knowing that his inner animal was a… was a...
Damn that Mad-Eye-Moody. Damn Potter, damn Weasley, damn Granger, and damn that insufferable Creevy just for good measure. And Finnegan. Oh and that annoying little 2nd year in Hufflepuff… actually her whole little group of friends, too, and… but that was beside the point. The point was that he was a ferret, and he just knew, knew that somehow that unbearable Golden Trio was to blame. Or perhaps just bad luck, they were all the same to him in his state of fury.

Basically what I thought would happen then is that Ginny finds him in his ferret form (perhaps for some reason he can't change back? I don't really know how all the Animagus business works) somewhere in the halls or Diagon Alley (it can be set before or after Hogwarts), and as she's always wanted a pet of her own she takes him in. Not one to forget something like the "Amazing Bouncing Ferret" incident, she could even name the ferret some ridiculous name that alludes to Draco, one with which he's very much not impressed.
Obviously this is intended to be humorous, hopefully with a healthy dose of fluff, but I'm not setting any requirements other than it has to have a happy D/G ending. You don't need to use my start, though I'd feel honored if you did. You also don't need to use my very vague plot plan. I just want to see something to this effect get written since I'm so incompetent.
I hope somebody takes up this challenge, and enjoys it!
