AN: I don't own any of the character I just own the silly story idea.
"Its okay Hermione I don't really care about my Potions grade we don't have to bother the Professor," pleaded Neville as Hermione dragged him towards the dungeons. Crookshanks in her other arm. Normally she wouldn't have brought him, but he had been pestering Ron's owl, so she figured it would be better to take her cat away from the tower for a little while.
"No Neville this has gone to far. I helped you write that essay and it was fine Professor Snape should of given you a better grade!" snapped Hermione not paying attention to how nervous her companion was.
"He will just get mad and take away points and give us detention," mumbled Neville.
"How can he? It's the end of the year. We are all leaving in a few hours." Replied Hermione as they entered the Potions classroom where Snape was working on a potion while doing inventory to see what they would need to restock on.
When he heard the door open he glanced up for a second before going back to his potion. "Is this about the essay grade, because I already finalized everything."
"But Sir Neville really. . ." Hermione never got a chance to finish her sentence as two more people entered the classroom. Both glanced at the two Gryffindors before sticking their noses in the air and passing them.
Snape's eye literally twitched as they walked towards his work bench, "What is it Lucius?" he asked as politely as he could, which made it sound like he was being strangled.
"Draco sent me his grade on this essay you assigned," said Lucius calmly.
"What about it?" asked Snape as he pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to concentrate on the potion he was working on all while having to recheck for the 3rd time if he had counted the inventory right.
"He should of gotten a higher grade," Lucius stated in a matter of fact tone.
"No he shouldn't of," Severus snapped back. "His paper was worst then Longbottoms!"
"Maybe this shows that the essay was to difficult for our grade level," piped in Hermione as she saw an opening. "A lot of people didn't pass it."
Lucius glared at her, but took the hint and went right back to complaining to Snape. "See they agree," he snapped as he went around the desk and made Snape turn to look at him. "This little essay of your was ridiculous if no one could pass it."
"Ms. Granger passed it," said Snape dully.
"She doesn't count!" yelled Lucius. He was about to yell something else, but suddenly Crookshanks jumped out of Hermione's arms and onto the work table; knocking over the potion and making it spill all over the mess of potion ingredients that were on the table. Before anyone had time to think there was a huge explosion that blasted the three students back.
"Are we dead?" coughed Draco as he stood up slowly.
"No," Hermione coughed back. Neville just groaned as Hermione helped him up off of the floor. The three of them glanced towards the work table but didn't see the Professor or Mr. Malfoy anywhere.
"Dad?" called Draco as he walked to the table and looked over it trying not to touch any of the ruined potion that was still all over the table. "Oh this isn't good," said Draco suddenly.
Curious Neville and Hermione walked over to see what Draco was referring to. Both gasped as they looked on the floor behind the table. To the right was a little blond boy about 3 years old sitting in a pile of clothes way to big for him. His blonde hair seemed to have something of a striped quality to it if you looked close enough. However that wasn't very noticeable compared to the cat ears and tail he now had in the same white and golden striped color.
To the left was a similar sight only the child had black hair and had more of a spotted quality to his hair and tail, but it was difficult to see since the spots were only a slightly darker shade of black. Crookshanks walked past the little black haired boy, but the boy grabbed the cats tail and attempted to bit it showing his little sharp teeth. Crookshanks growled at the boy and he stopped mid motion and let go of the cat, and looked around in an innocent matter as if he had never planned on biting the cat.
"Ever heard of anything like this Granger?" asked Draco in a shocked tone.
Hermione just shook her head before walking behind the desk and pulling some children's clothes from her bag. "Why do you have those?" asked Neville.
"I made them for the house elves. Luckily I have a couple sets," answered Hermione as she dressed Lucius in brown pants, a green shirt, and a grey hat to cover his ears. She then took out a pair of black pants and red shirt for Severus, but it was hard to keep the little back hat on Severus's head since he kept pulling it off so he could put the little red pom-pom, that was on the top, in his mouth. In the end she gave him a different hat that had a pom-pom on it to him so he would keep the first one on his head.
"Sh. . .Should we take them to Ms. Pomfery?" stuttered Neville as the reality of the situation started to dawn on him.
"And tell them what?" asked Draco in a sarcastic tone. "Oh we accidently turned my dad and Professor Snape into human cat toddler hybrid things. You have any idea what this will do to their reputations!"
The two Gryffindors were quiet for a moment. "Well I could probably figure out how to reverse it," said Hermione slowly. "But it would take research and in short, time. I can't change them back right this second."
"What if you had everything you needed how long would it take you?" asked Draco seriously.
Hermione thought for a moment before replying, "figuring out how to fix it, probably a week or two, but brewing the antidote could take a little while. Some potions take weeks to brew. Then there is the fact that we can't do any wizardry outside of school." While they talked Lucius had curled up in a ball on the floor and nodded off, while Severus had decided that the pom-pom was no longer interesting and crawled over to Hermione, and tugged on her skirt before making a little squealing sound.
She looked down a moment before picking him up. This at least seemed to make him content for the time being. As the was going on Draco was passing around the destroyed table. "I got it!" he said suddenly. "We have a summer cabin that me and my dad were going to go to anyway. My mom wont be there because it was just going to be a father son get-a-way. I can contact the Ministry and get permission to do underage wizardry at the house. I can tell them my dad is tutoring us since we haven't been doing very good in our studies."
"That could actually work," said Hermione.
"What about me and you though Hermione?" asked Neville. "What will we tell our families?"
"I can just tell my parents I am spending the summer with Viktor," replied Hermione. "And you can just tell you grandma that your in a summer school program since you haven't been doing well in school."
Neville nodded, "alright that will keep her happy. The next problem though is getting to the summer house with our stuff and those two."
"Well Draco can say his father is his little cousin," said Hermione. Draco nodded in agreement as Hermione continued, "and you can say Professor Snape is your cousin or nephew or something."
Neville made an uncomfortable grunting sound but nodded. "You should probably hold him then," said Hermione as she tried to hand Severus to Neville; however Severus didn't seem to like that idea as he grabbed onto Hermion's hair and screamed "no" over and over until she stopped tugging on him. Once she stopped he glared at Neville and hissed.
Draco let out a snort of amusement and said, "somethings just wont change." The two Gryffindors didn't find it as amusing, but Draco ignored them as he picked up his father and said, "we can get to the house by flu powder and we can tell the Hogwarts house elves to send our things there."
After that it was agreed that, that was the best course of action they put their plan into motion.
AN: So ends chapter 1.
Review and tell me what you think. If you don't review I might not finish the story, (why finish if no one is reading it kinda thing). So please, please with all my little black heart tell me what you think of it.
