Here we go everybody, chapter 7 is here! Now that I made it through the writer's block swamp the story is practically writing itself at the moment. Draco also finally shows up and meets Harry. Since this may come to a shocker to somebody, I am not JK Rowling which means I don't own Harry Potter.
When Harry woke up, he was so comfortable he almost fell asleep again. My bed never has felt so comfy before, even the ones in Gryffindor tower did not compare. Realizing that could only mean he was not in his bed or in Gryffindor tower, he quickly opened his eyes and took in his surroundings. His first thought was that the room was huge and was almost the size of the Gryffindor common room but was painted in a dark green instead of a scarlet red. The bed he was laying on was indeed not his, an expensive looking desk and chair could be seen against the wall across from him. Next to the desk was a door that was partially opened and looked like it lead to the bathroom. Looking at the rest of the room, one wall was mostly taken up by a bookshelf and had a window which looked outside next to it. The other wall had only a closed door which Harry assumed lead to the rest of the house. Shit, that woman must have taken me to her house. At least she is a witch, maybe she could figure out that I'm not an actual panther and help me transform back before letting me go. As Harry went to stand up he felt an extra weight around his neck. Looking down at his neck he noticed an emerald green collar on his neck. Hey! I'm not some animal to collar up...ok maybe I am an animal at the moment, but that doesn't mean you can just go and collar me! Unsure about what would happened if he transformed with the collar on and still not knowing who he was with, Harry decided to not trying to transform back into a human. Just then, Harry picked up that he could hear people talking on the other side of the door. Hopping on to the floor and going up to the door in order to hear better, he listened in.
"But mom!" A male voice Harry couldn't place at the moment. "I never said I wanted a freaking panther! Besides, would the old coot even allow me to bring him to Hogwarts?"
"Of course dear," Harry heard the lady who he recognized as the lady who picked him up responded "The rules are that you can bring an owl, toad, or cat to school, nothing says it can not be one of the larger cats, besides, he is only a cub at the moment. Did you really think I would let you go to Hogwarts without some familiar who could stand by your side? You also didn't see him, cold, wet, and somebody had the audacity to wound him in his tail!"
Looking back at his tail, Harry found that it was wrapped up in some gauze. Hmm...guess uncle Vernon did hit me, kind of forgot about that, also surprised I didn't notice that sooner. Of course, I am still getting used to having a tail so...Harry's thoughts were interrupted as he heard the door he was standing by open up. Taking a few steps back ad looking up at who had entered the room, he would have become pale white if it was possible. Instead he turned tail and ran under the bed. Why does this always happen to me, of course Mrs. Malfoy would have to be the one to pick me up, and they are planning on giving me to Draco? Pfftt...as if.
"See? He doesn't even want to be with me" Draco told his mother. Of course I don't, Harry thought to himself.
"Nonsense dragon, you just startled him that's all" Mrs. Malfoy responded. "I will leave the two of you to get better acquainted, and see how your father is coming along in finishing the bonding circle," as she walked out of the room. BONDING CIRCLE! I will have no part in this bonding circle and that is final. Harry thought to himself. Harry then realized he was in, what he know guessed, was Draco's room, with only Draco and him in it. I am so dead. Just then he heard movement occurring next to the bed and looked over to see Draco on his knees looking at him
"Come on cat," Draco said, "we might as well get accustomed to being with each other since that seems to be what mother and father are set on me doing" Then in a voice Harry only picked up because of his enhanced hearing he heard "just like them forcing me to take the Dark Mark"
Curiosity now peaking inside Harry, he slowly walked over to Draco to see if he would say anything more on the matter. When he got close enough Draco grabbed him and brought him to his chest as he stood up. Harry stiffened at being grabbed by Draco but eventually began to relax to Draco's petting that was occurring. Confused at why he was not mauling the blond he heard Draco speak again.
"Well, at least I don;t have to worry about you mauling me since that collar of your stops you from attacking anybody, don't worry after the ritual is done, there would be no need for it anymore. Which is good, kind of hard for you to defend me if you are unable to attack." Well, that explains it Harry thought. Still can't force me to do any bonding ritual...ok...maybe if you keep scratching right behind that ear...this is so humiliating, stuck as a cat in the arms of my rival, and purring as loud as a car engine.
A CRACK! sounding inside the room snapped Harry out of his thoughts. Looking around the room, he spotted a house elf with a plate in one hand. Wonder what he has, it sure smells good whatever it is.
"Master Draco, Itsy brought Master Draco's cat food that Master Mrs. Malfoy requested" The house elf named Itsy said.
"Thank you, put it on the ground and leave" Draco responded.
"Right away master Draco!" Itsy said as he put the plate on the ground and apparating out of the room with a CRACK! Harry then squirmed out of Draco's grasp and landed on the ground.
Mmmm...salmon...maybe staying here a couple days wouldn't be so bad, I could get used to this type of pampering, just have to make sure that they don't do that bonding ritual on me. "Well, I'm glad you like it" Draco commented, "now I just need to think of a name for you, but that can wait till tomorrow, right now, I'm going to get ready for bed." harry ignored Draco for the most part and continued to eat the salmon. When he finished he looked around and saw Draco heading his way in silk pajamas. Of course he has silk pajamas, spoiled prat. Just then he realized Draco was planning to take him to the bed with him and sprinted underneath the bed.
"Fine, you don't have to sleep with me, but it does get a little cold at night so suit yourself" Draco told Harry as he climbed into the bed. Soon after, his breathing slowed as he fell asleep. As the night wore on, Harry realized with a shiver that Draco was right about it getting cold. Realizing there was no way of him getting any sleep this way he sucked up his pride and jumped on to the bed and laid down next to Draco. I'm just doing this because I am cold, that is the only reason I am getting anywhere near him. Harry thought to himself as he fell asleep next to Draco.
If you readers have any good suggestions for a name for Harry I am all ears, I'm trying not to copy anybody else story so the names that come to mind I don't know if I'm making up or just one from a story I have already read, and I have read a lot of them. So hope you guys like it and the early update and will try getting the next one out sometime tomorrow. Also the 1700 views guys is awesome. Thank you for reading!
