Author's note: Written as a birthday gift for veritas03, who requested ferret!Draco. Also written for Prompt #31 at hd_pots_n_porn, which is blueberries. This is from my Scrub verse but can be read as a stand-alone.
Summary: Draco's greed overcomes his common sense.
As soon as Draco walked in the house, he smelled it--fresh blueberry pie. Harry had been baking again, and Draco's mouth watered at the tantalizing aroma. He loved blueberry pie, and Harry baked the best pie he'd ever tasted.
Draco dashed into the kitchen and pulled up short at the sight of the beautiful pie holding court behind the glass front of the pie safe. On the door of the pie safe was a padlock, and a note had been left on top of the pie safe. Draco snatched it up and read:
Draco, I had to make a quick trip to Tescos, but I'll be home soon. Don't touch the pie. I baked it for Ron's birthday. If you want a piece, you'll have to accompany me to the party tonight.
- Harry
Draco snorted. As if. He had already informed his boyfriend that he had no intention of going to the den of weasels. None of them liked him, and Ginevra in particular hated Draco. He'd rather sit at home and watch the telly.
Draco's eyes wandered over the mess Harry had created while baking and moved on to caress the pie that was languishing behind the glass, beckoning him. Draco's jaw firmed in determination. He drew his wand and aimed it at the padlock.
"Alohomora!"
Draco's spell bounced off the padlock harmlessly, and he scowled. Obviously, Harry didn't trust him and had employed the use of wards as well. Draco paced and plotted. He considered attempting an 'Accio, pie!' but was afraid shards of glass would end up in his prize. No, this mission required finesse.
Draco grinned an evil grin.
~*~
The white ferret worked his slender body between the pie safe and the wall. He kept low to the floor to avoid the bottom edge of the wards Harry had set. Once behind the pie safe, it wasn't difficult for him to worm his way inside through the open back.
Draco climbed onto the shelf the pie was on and dove in. He plunged his pointed muzzle through the crust and began devouring blueberries. Draco sat back and licked his whiskers. The pie was good, but it wasn't up to Harry's usual standards. Draco's hide twitched in a ferret shrug. Perhaps Harry hadn't put forth his best effort for Weasley.
Draco used his paws to pry at the crust and reveal more of the delicious blueberries. By the time he'd eaten his fill, his face, paws and chest were sticky and stained. Draco rested back on his haunches and licked his chops. Harry might return at any moment, and Draco knew he'd do well to hide until his boyfriend calmed down.
He went to exit the same way he'd come in, only to run afoul of an invisible barrier. Draco bounced off it, shook his head and tried again. Once more, he was thwarted. Only one person was both clever and cruel enough to lure Draco into the pie safe and trap him there.
Harry!

Harry returned from running his errands and ambled into the kitchen. His eyes automatically went to the pie safe, and he smirked when he saw the ferret inside the glass. "I see your greed overwhelmed your common sense again."
Draco stood up and banged his tiny paws on the glass, chittering curses. Harry ignored him and began putting groceries away. When Draco halted his tirade, Harry turned his attention to his fuming boyfriend.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist mucking about in my pie out of spite," said Harry. "I have news for you, however." He opened the small cupboard above the oven and withdrew another blueberry pie. Harry's grin widened. "This is the pie I baked for Ron," he announced. "You ate the decoy I bought earlier!"
Draco bristled and threw the granddaddy of all ferret tantrums. He squeaked and chittered, banged against the glass front of the pie safe, pried pieces of pie loose and scattered them all over the inside of his prison and smeared blueberry filling on every surface he could reach. When he finally ran out of steam, Draco flopped down beside the remnants of the pie and panted for breath.
Harry approached the pie safe and peered at Draco's white form through the besmirched glass. He crouched down to his boyfriend's eye level and taunted, "You're just angry you've been outfoxed by a lion."
