Part 1

Once upon a time there was a girl. A "normal", "average", "everyday" sort of girl. At least in the wizarding world. She had three best friends before she got to Hogwarts. Their names were Katelyn, Emily, and Erin.

They were just about to start their fifth year. They wrote each other at least once a week. It was that night that they were spending over Kasey's house. George Weasley showed up. Unbeknown to her three friends, George did this every night.

"Okay Kasey, I'm ready to go."

"Uh, go where George..."

"On our da..."

"George."

"Oopps....I meant to dare you to do something...yeah..."

Right then Fred popped in. "Oh, George, is it true that you're going on a date with Kas...uh-oh."

"I don't know Fred," said Kasey, "is it true that you are going on a date with..."

"DON'T YOU DARE!!!"

"I don't dare, I do. Angeli..."

"SHUT UP!!!"

"George 1. I don't have a dress..."

"It looks like he took care of that problem." said Erin.

"2. I don't like this dress."

"Really George, could it be any shorter?" asked Em.

"3. I don't like this one either!"

"Could it be any shorter or lower?" asked Katelyn.

"It might be arranged..."

"GEORGE!!!!"

"I agree completely Kasey; shorter, George."

"FRED!!!"

"That's it...I forgot to tell you...oh gosh. Angelina is coming over...she...I oopps. Oh yeah. Now I remember why she was coming over. She heard that you might be here, Fred."

"Definitely shorter, George!!!"

"Really, I like that length, but the collar..."

"Ohh...the collar! Oh, yes, we must change that immediately." Suddenly, there was a lot less material on that dress...

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IT!?!?!?!?! THERE'S NOTHING LEFT EXCEPT A PIECE OF CLOTH!!!!!!!! THAT'S IT!!!! I'M GETTING IT OUT!!!!" The three girls in the room stopped laughing. None of them got out their wands unless they meant serious business. Unfortunately for the boys, they didn't know this quite yet; they had never aggravated her this much.

She took out her wand, waving it threateningly close to their faces, and said, "I suggest you put some more material on that dress, boys."

"Okay, Kasey." They added more padding.

"THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" This was the last straw for Kasey. She waved her wand in the air as the other girls left the room immediately (and the boys, even though they tried, were, for some strange reason, were unable to). Kasey said some Latin words, and sent the boys into the air like rockets, making them hit the ceiling hard. She twirled them around a bit, then, seeing they were about to barf, threw them out of her window (she opener her window before throwing them out). There was a loud THUD! outside Kasey's house.

Then, suddenly, as if out of nowhere (which, actually, is where it came from), there came an owl with a letter in its beak. It landed where the boys were. "Uh-oh! You're in trouble, Kasey!" "And the boys aren't?!?!? Look at what they did!" Then, there came another owl, this time into Kasey's room.

Part 2

It read:

Dear Miss Morneault,

We have received intelligence that you levitated two boys, personally for good intentions. As you know underage wizards are not to use magic outside of the school year. Though, I believe you may be forgiven this once. We ask that you do not do it again.

Prof. Minvera McGonagall

PS-Change your dress.

"Owwww...." said George as he came back in. "What's that?"

"An excuse to use magic. On you two."

"Come now Kasey. I promise okay. Here." He changed the dress to a full length blue dress, with an appropriate collar.

Kasey though was still upset. To prove it she turned herself into a baby tiger. She alighted gracefully on the bed and lay down, pouting. "Ohh, come now Kasey. I'm sorry really." She ignored him. "Fine, remember, you made me." He picked her up. "Anyway, mum won't mind one more mouth to feed, cat or not."

Kasey still didn't give in; she wasn't changing back. She just looked at him. "Good, it's settled then. Let's go."

Suddenly, Kasey found herself at the Weasley house. Of course, she was in tiger form, so Mrs. Weasley didn't recognize her. She shouted at Fred and George, "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING WITH A TIGER IN YOUR ARMS!?!?!?!?!" she wasn't very happy. "HOW DARE YOU TWO...I CAN'T EVEN SAY IT!!!!! WAIT UNTIL YOUR FATHER COMES HOME. DON'T GIVE ME THOSE LOOKS AS IF YOU WERE INNOCENT!!!!! I GOT OVER THOSE MANY YEARS AGO!!! STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!" She was looking at the tiger cub now. The tiger cub had looked up into her eyes pleadingly. She was so cute...( she didn't fall over, either). "Oh...all right. You can let her stay. Only for a short time, mind you. She needs her rest." Mrs. Weasley took Kasey the tiger into her arms and held her like a little kitten.

"Mom's loving the tiger cub, George."

"I'm loving the tiger cub being here, Fred."

"Do shut up, Mr. Romantic."

"Would you rather have me quote Shakespeare?"

"Never mind."

Part 3

"Ron! Ginny! Bill! Charlie! Look and see who's brought home a tiger!"

"A tiger?"

"Is it really a tiger!?"

"What kind of tiger?"

"Where is it, Mum?"

There was a deafening clatter of footsteps ringing throughout the house. The tiger decided to leap into Mrs. Weasley's arms and hide herself.

"Now, now; don't suffocate her! She isn't just something to gape at!"

"Other than she's illegal to own privately."

"She isn't owned by anyone," said George. "Trust me. Sometimes, though, I wish it were possible. I'd love to own her." Kitty hid very deeply into Mrs. Weasley. (This is not really good for the kitty).

"What tiger?" said Harry and Hermione together as they climbed down the stairs. (Yes!!! thought the kitten cub, I'm not going to be killed in three days! Thank goodness for Hermione and Mrs. Weasley! As long as Mrs. Weasley doesn't give me kitty food...) "Here, kitty kitty kitty; do you want some bacon?" Hmmm...bacon...haven't had something to eat for a while...sure, why not? She purred in response. Mrs. Weasley bent down and gave her a piece of...raw bacon!!!??? Ewww...I'm not eating that!!! I feel sick...here comes a fur ball...well, I don't think it feels like a fur ball anymore... She walked towards George, meowing to pick her up. He readily agreed and picked her up. (Not good, George, not good!) She vomited on George. I mean really vomited. Mrs. Weasley immediately took her out of George's hands and tried to calm her down by stroking her back and rubbing her head. It actually worked very well. She wasn't really happy about moving anything right at that moment. Instead, she purred contentedly for Mrs. Weasley.

"George, go clean yourself up. Fred, bring kitty here a pillow. Here, Ginny; hold kitty while I make sure Bill doesn't try to turn the tiger into a person. One moment." She led Bill out of the room, talking to him about different things, such as his work in Egypt. (Bill knew something was up; he just didn't know it was him).

"Hey, kitty. You probably like to be called tiger better, eh?" Charlie was getting really sickeningly sweet at the moment. "You're such a good little kitty; yes you are, yes you are..."

"Ron, this is gross. This is really gross." Harry was disgusted.

"I think she's rather adorable..." Hermione stopped in mid-sentence (something she almost never did); she looked at the tiger more closely, recognizing the stripe that went the whole way around the neck without end. "Uh-oh!

"Ginny, why don't I take tiger for a moment, okay?"

"All right," said Ginny reluctantly.

"Charlie, why don't you go with Ginny?" suggested Hermione.

"Why? I want to play with the kitty a little longer." Kitty decided it was time to forget her charade. Then, kitty had second thoughts. She'd just act as if she were human. "MEOW! Phht, phht, phht, phht!" She was about to claw Charlie when Hermione grabbed her. She ran upstairs, Ron and Harry close behind, sensing something was up (though only faintly).

When they got upstairs, Harry said, "C'mon, Hermione; the tiger was about to give Charlie a good whap with her claws!"

"Yeah! I wanted to see that!"

"You know, I would have too." Harry and Ron turned towards the voice behind them.

Part 4

"KASEY?!?!?!?!?!?!?" They were very surprised (understatement; they were gaping). "How did you get here?" "Where were you?" "What happened to your clothes?" "You're wearing a dress!?!" "Wow; you look good in a dress!" "Yeah, you do, actually."

Suddenly, George came in when Ron and Harry said that Kasey looked good in a dress. That's when Kasey immediately turned back into a tiger and hid. Quickly. Quietly. In the opposite direction of George. "WHERE'S THE TIGER CUB!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Nobody knew (they answered honestly; they had no idea that the tiger would actually hide in Ron's closet!)

"WHERE IS SHE!!!!????!? LET ME SEE HER NOW!!!!!!!!" He was not very happy. "OR I'LL...I'LL...I'LL..."

"Please don't hyperventilate, George. The tiger's nowhere to be seen (boy! That's right!). We can't find her now. Just get out, okay? Maybe Charlie has her."

"IF SHE'S NOT WITH CHARLIE..."

"Well, then, she must be somewhere else, doesn't she? Just go look for her, okay?" George exited the room, very disappointed at giving up that quickly. Yet, before he could change his mind, they had sealed the door shut and locked it tightly.

"C'mon, Kasey. You can come out now."

"Find me." She said, changing quickly from animal to human to animal again.
