Dief wasn't faking the bandage on his paw. In an interview Rick Parker, Draco's trainer, mentions that he had the dog on the Canadian Wranglers' grounds when Draco decided to swipe some food from a black jaguar's cage. The jaguar didn't take kindly to this so it grabbed Draco's paw with one of its claws. Fortunately for Draco it only required 26 stitches which all healed nicely.
