Chapter 1:: I Just Wanna Live

Sastaliki Kanino Aquamarine's luscious scarlet fur rustled in the harsh autumn winds of London. Her piercing green eyes scanned the dark streets searching in the fog for Ron Weasley. She pulled her coat tighter around her sleek, feline body. She flattened her ears to her head in anger, he was supposed to be here by now!!!!!!!!!!!! Sastaliki was supremely beautiful in the eyes of everyone she met, even now in her new body. Sastaliki used to be a human, until last summer when, while walking in the forest, she was suddenly changed into a cat-person (?). "Sasta" as she was known to her best mates, used to have ivory pale skin that glowed in the moonlight and long, wavy aquamarine hair that tousled carelessly in the wind (that is how she got her name.) But most beautiful of all was her gorgeous, green eyes that shone into whoever's soul they peered into and instantly enamored the viewer.

Sasta wore a long, navy blue pea coat to mask her appearance and totally cute silver snakeskin ankle boots so she could still look fashionable even in her current state. She huddled behind a building, she didn't mind her new streamlined body that much. She had a heightened sense of hearing and sight, as well as a certain 'sixth-sense' however, she really hadn't tapped into that one just yet. She had a long scarlet tail with orange stripes that was quite beautiful, but she hated all her fur! There was so much! She'd never been this hairy in her whole life, but she'd have to get used to it, it was her curse. The only thing about her that had remained unchanged, was her beautiful green eyes that still enchanted whoever looked into them.

She thought back to the summer, before she was a cat-person(?). She was sitting in the Three Broomsticks, all by her lonesome, thinking deeply about how lonely and sad she was. Her parents had went to research Muggles in their natural habitat. Apparently a bunch of non-magic persons are more important that their own DAUGHTERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But anyway. She was so sad.

THEN. Ron, the boy she had been acquainted with through her parents ever since she was little, walked in. He stole a glance at her, sitting in the corner, and quickly averted his eyes. He ordered two Butterbeers. That was strange, she thought; why on earth did he order two? He must be really thirsty.

He took the two possibly alcoholic drinks and slowly strode across the bar, eyes locked with hers. He sexily asked "Is anyone sitting here?"

"No…" she said, full of wonder at his astounding gingerness. He slid one of the butterbeers across the table. It stopped, right in front of her.

Ron slid into the chair across from her ; he casually leaned his arm on the table, and took a long swig of butterbeer, all the while never once breaking eye contact. After he has finished his butterbeer, he sat the glass down, looked into her eyes, and said:

"So, I heard you were alone this summer…?"

"Yeah," Sasta replied, "what of it?" She didn't want to let her guard down just yet.

"Well, my mum heard that your parents were leaving to go and study in the field…so she suggested that you stay with us until school starts back up, since you are a family friend and all. What do you say?" He smiled at her.

Sasta thought for a second, Why is Ron being so nice? When we were kids he always taunted me and played tricks on me! Why the sudden change of heart? She gave a sideways glance at him, his sparkling blue eyes, just like the midnight ocean, his toned physique and of course, his gingery-ginger hair of gingerness. He was getting quite cute as they neared their fifth year. "W-w-well," she stammered, "I don't see why not. Whose room will I be staying in?" A look of pure joy shone in Ron's visage.

"We'll talk about that when we get there, let's go!" Ron took her hand, "Fred and George knew you'd say yes, so they are packing your things as we speak!"
