It is no secret that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy simply do not get along. They are always at each other’s necks although most of the incidents between the two ar instigated by Malfoy himself. This year, Draco Malfoy has decided that he is going to pull the prank of all pranks on Harry Potter, right before the Thanksgiving Day Feast. As always, his hopes are to terrorize, victimize and embarrass the brilliant and courageous Potter, and to get a good laugh at he and his friend Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley if he can. Why not kill three birds with one stone right? Draco’s plan was to transfigure Harry Potter into turkey, very befitting for Thanksgiving right? Well, as Hermione, Ron, and Harry were coming down the hall toward the dining hall, Draco popped out from behind a hidden corner and began to recite a spell with his wand aimed steady. However, he must have had his wand turned the wrong way and his words all wrong because instead of turning Harry into a turkey, he turned himself into a Tony Little Gazelle! It took Professor McGonagall all afternoon to get him back to his original form!
But Malfoy wasn’t finished yet. He still had one more trick up his sleeve. He decided to try and make a death potion for Harry Potter. After all, Potter had just embarrassed him in front of the entire school once again. So Malfoy concocted a potion. He slipped some into Potter’s drink at dinner time and waited. He must have read the instructions wrong again because Potter grew about 30 feet into a giant and nearly crushed Malfoy, except that Professor Dumbledore was there to bring the situation to a hault. Apparatently Malfoy had given Potter some Human Growth Hormone instead of the death potion.
