I decided to rewrite my old story, it will be expanded and take a different turn then the last. I tripled my word count and added more detail. If you enjoy please review, it helps me gauge the reactions and improve my writing.


Harry was awoken by a yell and a heavy object landing on his bed. Blinking the sleep out of his eyes he saw Neville standing on his bed with a book raised. Tilting his head Harry was about to say something when Neville threw the book at him.

"How did you get in here? And what have you done to Harry?!" he shrieked

Harry dove away from the book and said

"Neville it's me. Why are you acting this way?"

Well, that's what he tried to say but all that came out was a concerned growl. Shocked Harry backed up and fell off the bed, scrambling up he ended up stepping on one of his tails and yowling. 'Wait? I Have a tail?' Turning around he looked and not only saw one tail but three. 'Three!' Before he could give it any more thought another book came flying his way. Diving under the bed he looked around, he felt like he had to get out. 'There's the door!' one of the other boys had opened the door at the noise and was talking to Neville. Not staying to listen Harry darted out and ran down the stairs from the boy's dormitory. Dashing under a sofa he curled up with his tails wrapped around him and ears flat. 'I have to get out of the common room, It's not safe.'

As luck would have it people were leaving for breakfast, Harry heard a group of girls headed to the door chatting about what their plans were after class. As soon as they opened the door Harry took off at a full sprint past the girls. Ignoring their screams he kept running down the hallways towards the Great hall. 'I have to get to Dumbledore, he will know what to do.'

Approaching the main hall he slowed and stuck to the wall, there were some students gathered in the foyer waiting for their friends before heading into the hall. Sneaking closer he decided to just run for Dumbledore's hall. Students scrambled out of his way screaming, some fired curses that had him bobbing and weaving. One particular spell hit his back paw making him stumble and slow his pace. 'Ouch, that one hurt. Must keep going' The problem was between trying to avoid students and dodging spells he had lost which way to go. Behind a row of legs he could see the wide stairs that led to the dungeon. 'I can hide there till breakfast is over'

He limped towards the stairs as fast as he could. Reaching the top he started to crawl down them when he felt another spell hit one of his tails, feeling no pain he continued down as fast as his body would allow him. After a few steps his back paw stopped hurting. Then, he realized he couldn't feel his back paws at all. 'Oh, Shit.' Harry ended up tumbling down the rest of the stairs whimpering as he hit the bottom. Pulling himself up he looked up at the stairs towards the students still there. None seemed to be following him which was perfectly fine with him. Pulling himself along he crawled behind a statue to hide, as he was laying there he heard Dumbledore ordering the students.

"Everyone please, go back to what you were doing. I promise you a search shall be conducted and we shall find the animal."

Closing his eyes Harry sighed, after the commotion died down he would find his way to Dumbledore. 'A quick nap won't hurt' was the last thing that crossed his mind before he fell into a deep sleep.
