The park was crowded.

With the crickets singing their summer song and no clouds decorating the blue sky, every dog owner apparently decided it was the best time to spend the afternoon in the dog park.

After being stuck behind his desk all day, staring at his laptop and wishing his paper would write itself, Draco had needed a breath of fresh air.

And what better way to do it then to go for a walk with his adorable white Pomeranian, right?

Right.

The one time Draco decided to walk a little further than a few streets from his apartment and go to the dog park, had to be when almost everyone was packed underneath the trees, trying to find some relief under the cool roof of leaves as their dogs ran around, playing in the small pond.

Donatella gave an excited little bark in his arms, her fluffy body squirming to be set free.

“Stop moving, you little worm”, Draco mumbled, placing his satchel down on an empty bench.

Donatella, however, did not stop moving. So Draco put her down, taking her leash in his hand so she could explore the area around the bench.

He didn’t trust the other dogs enough to let her run free. She might be a small, yappy thing but those big dogs running around could easily overpower her.

Taking a deep breath, Draco sat down on the bench and took out his laptop to resume writing his paper.

The words flowed from his mind, his fingers floating over the keys of his keyboard. Every now and again, his eyes would flicker to one of the textbooks he had brought with, scanning for anything useful.

He was so submerged in writing his paper, he almost missed someone yelling “Alpha, no!” followed by a familiar, high-pitched yelp.

Draco’s head snapped up, his eyes widening as he saw Donatella running towards him, tufts of grass sticking to her white fur. She pressed herself against Draco’s legs, whining softly.

“I’m so sorry about that”, someone said from Draco’s left, “he’s normally not that… enthusiastic towards other dogs.”

Putting his laptop aside and picking Donatella in his arms, Draco turned to look at the person standing next to him, eyeing the still happily panting husky next to them with a look of disdain. “Your dog almost killed mine!”

The other man raised a dark eyebrow, his green eyes glinting in the warm sunlight. “He didn’t. He just… pushed her over.”

“He almost killed her!”

“He really didn’t.”

Draco huffed, annoyed, as his fingers combed through Donatella’s fur, removing the blades of grass from it.

“Alright then.” The other man sighed, though Draco swore he saw amusement pass over his face. “How about we go grab a drink to make up for my dog almost killing yours?”

“I…” Draco felt his cheeks turning red, the warmth spreading all the way down his neck. He blamed it on the sun. “Yeah, sure. Why not?”

A smile, one that easily matched the enthusiasm of the panting husky, spread across the man’s face. “Great!” he said. “My name’s Harry, by the way and this—” he gestured to the husky “—is Alpha.” He extended a hand for Draco to take.

“Draco”, Draco said, accepting the offered hand.

“Draco”, Harry mumbled under his breath. Draco’s cheeks warmed even more. “I bet Alpha and…?”

“Donatella.”

“Donatella are going to be great friends.” As he said that, Harry reached out to pet Donatella but quickly pulled his hand back when she snapped at his finger.

A snort escaped Draco’s mouth, one that quickly changed into full peels of laughter. “Oh, they'll definitely be good friends, alright.”

Lotf characters as pet owners and the pets they own

Jack - Probably owns a mutt and he totally names it Jack. The nickname is “Jack Jack” and he regularly calls out “Jack attack!!!” when the dog meets new people. He’s a very chaotic dog owner and actually enjoys spending time with Jack. The dog is very well trained and spends the nights in Jack’s bed, curled up against his back. Which is unfortunate because Jack’s a heatbox so he burns up every night.

Ralph - Definitely owns a golden lab named Boomer, who he routinely says “ok boomer” to. The dog wears a blue bandana with an anchor on it around its neck. It also gets along very well with Jack (the dog) and Jack (the human) and will jump on Jack the human and wrap his paws around him to give him a “hug”. Ralph, of course, is trying to train the dog to stop doing that. Boomer really likes running around so during winter months he speeds around the apartment squeaking his ball and Ralph’s like pLs iM sO tiReD- However, the dog also curls up at Ralph’s feet when he’s reading in front of the fire and Ralph remembers exactly why he got a dog

Simon - Doesn’t actually “own” any pets! However, there are 3 stray cats near his apartment complex that he regularly feeds and takes care of and basically owns. One of the cats is a black cat and his elderly neighbour gasped and clutched her heart while he was feeding it and he was like: :|? The cats literally only like Simon and will attack anyone else

Roger - he owns dogs AND cats. He owns the black cat Nastya, which was his parents. She’s a cuddly cat and curls up on Roger’s lap when hes eating at the table. She’s older and very well behaved. However, he also owns 2 Pomeranians who are like Satan reincarnated. They bite him, they snarl, they rush around in bursts of energy. And their names are Death and Destruction. And he loves them selectively. And Nastya doesn’t put up with their shit, she will hiss at them and she hisses at nobody

Piggy - owns like. fish. he doesn’t want the responsibility of a pet because he’s really busy focusing on work and academics. He did have a hamster when he was younger, but the hamster passed from old age.

Bill - THE FUCKING BIRD. OML HE OWNS A PARAKEET OR SMTHING AND IT SWEARS SO VIOLENTLY AT HIM AND INSULTS HIM. still bird bros tho

Samneric - Sam owns no pets because he never found himself drawn to actually keeping an animal. However, he does technically “own” a sea turtle because he adopted one once. Eric on the other hand, owns one of those really cute white snakes that he scares other people with. It’s usually around his neck like an expensive piece of jewellery. also the snakes name is Alfredo because i saw that name somewhere and i stan it so hard.

Maurice - owns a hamster named Hammy!!! he watches it in the cage with great worry because he just constantly stresses over whether it’s okay or not. Like gets so nervous he monitors the hamsters eating habits and such. He really just wants a happy healthy pet

Robert - FE R R E T..,.,, MY GUY OWNS A FERRET AND 100% BRAGS ABOUT IT. HES LIKE WOW LOOK AT MY FERRET AND EVERYONE IS IS LIKE I DONT GIVE A FUCK ROBERT. THE FERRETS NAME IS DRACO BECAUSE HE RLLY LIKES HARRY POTTER ((not jk rowling, she can suck it))
