Harry screamed out a high pitched wail as the pain shot through his bones from where he lay in his small bedroom at the Dursleys. He could feel his body physically changing before the small crowds very eyes. He begged and begged for someone, anyone to help him but no one moved a muscle and he was left to suffer; not even his best friends whom he had relied upon all these years moved. He didn't want them here; he didn't feel safe, like something or someone really important was missing. The Order had shown up just a few minutes after his first scream, luckily the Dursleys were out or he'd have an even bigger problem on his hands than turning into an unknown creature.

"What are we going to do? He's a creature!"

"Could he infect us mom?"

"God get him away from me can't believe I fancied him… well his money anyway"

Unknown to them he could still hear them loud and clear, the people he once thought of as close friends were now nothing in his eyes and there was nothing they could do to change that. He didn't know what creature he was or why but he had a sneaky suspicion that James and Lily Potter were not his biological parents. All the pain continued to swirl around his body like a tornado bent on destruction, but it hurt most at his heart. It felt like death's cruel fingers were squeezing it ever so tightly, he couldn't breathe fast enough to get any air into his body and he was immobilised on the bed… for his own protection he thought mentally rolling his eyes before succumbing once again to the agony.

Merlin only knows why I haven't blacked out yet, maybe someone out there wants me to hear what they have to say he pondered.

"We'll have to dispose of him"

"Kill him"

"He's a filthy creature"

It was in that moment that Harry finally realised he was nothing but a toy to them. Just someone they could pin their problems on and blame when the time came. Cursed from the very moment he was born up until his death; which by the sound of it would happen earlier than he thought. The pain slowly began to retreat and he almost breathed a sigh of relief until he realised it was all being collected at one place. The silence in the room was deafening, all eyes were on him shining with judgement. If something couldn't be done about him then he'd have to die… for the greater good. He could do nothing but continue to twist and turn from where he was restrained, his only comfort being his godfather dabbing his forehead with a cold flannel. He'd only just arrived after being sent out on Order business and therefore hadn't heard what they'd said about him. Oh my godfather, such a naïve man Harry thought relaxing slightly into Sirius' hold.

"Ssh Harry Ssh it's nearly over lad nearly over"

The comforting words of Sirius could do nothing to stop the pain from converging at his heart; it almost felt like it was going to beat out of his chest. His screams were now just pained whimpers as his transformation neared its end. Sirius never even questioned why he was being restrained, probably just thought it was to stop him to hurting himself or something. But Harry knew they weren't for his protection but for theirs, so escape would impossible before they made a decision on what to do with him. The pain suddenly doubled with his heart at the epicentre and his chest rose a foot of the bed before everything stopped. His harsh pants of breath were the only sound and they seemed to echo in the small room. As he opened his eyes he winced at the brightness as they adjusted. To his surprise his vision was crystal clear compared to his bat like vision from before, he was mesmerised by the little specs of dust floating majestically into the light shining in from the window.

"Harry my boy?" That soon snapped him out of his own thoughts. He moved his head so quick he almost gave himself whiplash. He wasn't surprised by the weary looks he was receiving from the others in the room, from the way they were talking about him it was obvious what would happen.

"Headmaster" He greeted not wishing to give away his new thoughts and feelings knowing that it would only cause more havoc for his already negatively inclined life.

"Do you know what you are?" What was the only man playing at? Of course he didn't know what he was. He looked down at his hands to see sharp black claws were his nails once were, they glistened in the light like the nights sky.

"No headmaster" He answered sighing at the same time his gaze focused on his first found new features. As he spoke he noticed something a little different about his mouth and lifted his hand up to investigate but was stopped by the restraints. He twisted his hand slowly looking at the fabric used to see if it was breakable. Unfortunately the Order had spared no expense; dragon hide leather.

"Just so you didn't hurt yourself my boy. We have some pressing matters to discuss Harry; you see due to your new… form shall we say you will no longer be allowed to study at Hogwarts. Of course I wish for you to stay but the other students might not take kindly to an… urm creature and parents would complain about their safety. You understand my boy?"

"Yes Headmaster, it wouldn't be fair on the others," He answered obediently praising his acting skills. He had suspected that was what the headmaster was going to say; he knew there was no way he would be allowed to stay there. But it wasn't for the reason the headmaster said; he knew that the headmaster's reputation would be ruined if he were allowed to go to Hogwarts destroying any of Dumbledore's future plans.

"We should just kill him he's a filthy monst—OW mom" Ron whispered but Harry still heard. How quickly people turn on you when you aren't what they wanted you to be he thought looking down at his hands for the second time.

"He's a Neko," A deep said from the back. To Harry surprise Draco Malfoy had entered the room and if the looks of the others gave him was any indication he wasn't invited.

"A What?!"

"A Neko, a half cat, half human hybrid. Look at the ears and claws, he probably has a tail as well under the blanket" He strolled over to Harry and Sirius perching on the side of Harry's bed near his head. He began to stroke Harry's new ears shocking him and making him purr. Harry wrenched his head away from him glaring at him under his hairline. Or at least he tried to all he really managed was moving an inch before he caught Draco eye line and stopped almost in a trance like state.

"A submissive one by the looks of things" Draco noted carrying on with his now accepted petting under the disgusted gaze of everyone else accept for Sirius who had a strange look in his eye.

"Great so not only is he a creature he's also gay" Ron shouted from the back making Harry whimper and press his head more firmly into Draco's hand in order to muffle the sound.

"I'll take him to a special place I know of. He'll be safe, far away from here and he can be happy unlike he is now restrained, badly if I might add" Draco snarled before ripping the restraints off of his wrists and picking Harry's exhausted form up bridal style. Harry did nothing but curl further into the comfortable embrace not really thinking that it was Malfoy who was holding him, just that he was safe with a dominant…Wait dominant? Malfoy is a creature to! He thought blinking himself out of his haze and staring up at the larger male who merely winked at him before making his way out of the room.

No one bothered to stop them still in shock at the day's events. All Harry's belonging were packed and placed at the bottom of the stairs for immediate removal; Draco's house elves had taken care of it. Harry's head fell onto Malfoy's shoulder nuzzling slightly as his feline instincts began to immerge. Harry would have loved to say he was embarrassed to be doing such a thing but in that moment he didn't care. He wanted comfort and so he took what he needed from the nearest dominant.
