Hi guys!
I am really enjoying writing this fic and the fic itself is getting heaps of attention so I am probably going to continue this fic for quite some time. Just so you can get a good idea of the moon cycles, Harry has been here for a month, and it's almost time for another full moon…
Enjoy
It was sunrise, and there was a cat outside the house. Harry stared at the cat through his window, confused. It had a strange marking around its eyes and it was grey. Harry got up and rushed to get dressed, wanting to see the cat up close.
Harry went outside as soon as he was dressed, and ran out onto the driveway. He looked around, looking for the cat, as it had moved. Finally, Harry spotted it, and he walked towards it cautiously. The cat didn't run away, it simply looked at him strangely, as though it was thinking very hard.
Harry held out his hand and the cat came towards him. He patted the cat on the head before picking it up and carrying it inside.
Yay, I have a pet cat now! Harry thought cheerfully, before wondering if this was against the law. He quickly shook the thought out of his head, the cat was right on his driveway, how could he not take it? In his six year old mind this seemed like the most natural thing to do.
Harry walked inside and quickly ran to his room. He was about to put the cat in his toybox when he heard foot-steps, followed by a voice. "Harry, what are you doing?" It was Remus. Harry quickly grabbed the cat and practically threw it into his toybox.
"Nothing!" He said as a tired-looking Remus came into the room. "Okay." Remus said, although he didn't seem entirely convinced. Remus pulled Harry into a hug, and as he did this, Harry kept glancing at the toybox, hoping that the cat wouldn't somehow get out.
"Is there something wrong, Harry?" Remus asked, noticing Harrys' speedy glances. "Um…" Harry hated lying, and he couldn't handle it anymore. "No, I found a cat and now it's in my toybox." Remus looked shocked for a second, before he smiled. "Oh."
"Sh-should I show you?" Harry asked nervously. "Please do, Harry." Remus replied. Harry walked over to the toybox before pulling it open. The cat jumped out as soon as it was opened and looked around annoyedly. Remus burst out laughing.
Harry, taken aback, whimpered slightly. Had Harry done something wrong? Was Remus laughing at him? But apparently not, as Remus crouched down to the cat's size, and said, "Hello, Minerva. Long-time no see!" To Harry's amazement the cat nodded, as though it understood what Remus was saying!
Then, to Harry's continued amazement, the cat transformed into an old woman! Harry sared at the tall woman in shock. She was a cat! No, she was a human. But she was also a cat! Harry then thought of something. "Are you a werecat?" He asked seriously. The woman smiled, and Remus burst out laughing again. "No, Potter, I am an animagus. I am sure, now that you live with Black, you know what an animagus is?"
Harry knew that word. Of course! That was what Sirius was! He nodded in reply to the woman, who, satisfied with Harry's response, walked out of the room to talk to Remus.
"So, how is the boy doing?" McGonagall asked Remus as they both walked through the hallway towards the kitchen. "Ah, so that's why you're here is it?" McGonagall nodded. "Harry's doing great. We've taught him all about magic, and we've told him the truth about his parents."
"And I assume that you have told him about your condition?" Remus looked at the floor. "Yes. We haven't gotten into details yet, but he knows the basics." That was when Sirius walked around the corner, holding a packet of biscuits. He looked in shock for a second, amazed that his old professor was at his house. The Professor who he had had many detentions with. So many detentions.
Finally, Sirius found words. "Would you like a biscuit, Professor McGonagall?" He held out the packet of biscuits he had been eating. McGonagall took one politely. "Oh, don't be modest." Sirius told her. She took another.
The three adults sat down at the table, ready to talk about important matters.
I hope you guys liked this chapter! The next chapter involves the full moon, so stay tuned as things get… messy.
