Chapter 9
"LILLY! WAKE UP!" my eyes opened to Scorpius shouting in my face.
"I'M UP!" I screamed at him, he smiled and threw a pillow at my face, I growled as he left the room. I pulled on my clothes and grumbled down to breakfast.
"Who got your wand in a knot Lil?" Scorpius sniggered as I sat down.
"WHO GOT MY WAND IN A KNOT? YOU!" I fumed, glowering at him.
"Calm down Lil! Jeez!" I scowled at him yeah! Like he doesn't remember last night! Just trying to cover it up like a normal day! I thought.
I was heading down the hall when someone grabbed my arm dragging me to the cupboard under the stairs.
"Look I'm sorry about last night, but you don't need to chuck acid at me!"
"I'm sorry too; I guess we just got caught…"
"…In the moment?" I nodded.
"Lets just never-,"
"Talk about it!" I sighed and nodded again, I walked out the cupboard and ran to my room checking my trunk. An hour later we where at the station the almost kiss completely forgotten. I looked through the distance at a graceful girl bounding towards us.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" the girl screeched to Scorpius, I clenched my fists trying not to scream back at her.
"At our house," I said through gritted teeth, "In severe pain!"
"What do you mean SEVERE PAIN?!"
"I mean those psychos that dragged him out of his house beat him up so bad he almost died!" I couldn't help my voice rising now, "But you don't care do you?! He had his phone on him the whole time yet you don't even try to contact him!"
"Well how was I supposed to know his phone was on him!"
"I don't know RING IT?!" I yelled at her, a large circle had formed around us.
"WHAT IF I WAS TO BUSY TRYING TO FIND MY DAD?" that was it I lunged at her grappling her hair, then something was around my waist pulling me back.
"STOP!" it roared. Sophie sat on the floor a little disorientated. I was standing with Scorpius's arms wrapped firmly around my waist.
"Lilly calm down your acting like a serial killer! And Sophie stop antagonizing her!"
"ME? Who's trying to kill who?!"
"I didn't say stop trying to kill Lilly I said stop provoking her!" Scorpius's mum was helping Sophie up and I struggled trying to get down. Scorpius realized this and let go. Then I sighed heavily.
"Sorry." I muttered, more to Scorpius than Sophie.
"Just stay away from me! You almost-,"
"What? Chipped your nail?" I said acidly.
"No! You almost ripped my arm off!" she held up her arm, it had massive scratches down it. Then I looked at my hands. MY HANDS WHERE CLAWS!
"Ah! I have claws!" I exclaimed; everyone else looked to, all thanks to my BIG mouth!
"Well that was unexpected!" I said blankly. "Great now I'm a cat! What next? A tail and ears to?" I scowled bitterly at them. Then I looked at Scorpius and remembered last night. OH MY GOD! I think I'm blushing?! Everyone is looking at me! Again!
"So what did I do now?!" I asked exasperated. Scorpius pointed to my head. "OH WHAT NOW?!" I touched my head and my eyes grew wide, I HAD EARS!
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" I asked screaming at Sophie, then I felt something brush past my face, it was black and fury?! "A TAIL Seriously?! A tail! I'm not even going to bother saying 'What next'. Great now I'm a mutant cat!" I closed my eyes pushed past everyone. I was about to get on the train when a luggage cart came speeding towards me! I closed my eyes, and then I was in the air; back flipping, and dodging. Subsequently I miraculously landed on top of the train. ON MY FEET! Everyone was gasping in awe blinking blankly at me. My head felt dizzy and I started swaying on the spot.
"Um…. I think I'm gunna…." I fell landing in to someone, great even more humiliating! (Note sarcasm!)
"Lilly…. Lilly are you ok little kitten?" I was woken to the soothing voice of – wait is that Scorpius? Calling me a kitten! There are three possible reasons for this…
a) I've had a traumatic head injury and hallucinating,
b) I'm dreaming a weird strange confusing dream,
c) Everything that just happened really happened and I have a tail, ears and claws.
My eyes slowly opened.
"Scorpius…?" I whispered.
"How is she Professor Longbottom?" I heard his familiar voice ask.
"Scorpius?"
"Lilly!" I saw a blurry figure appear above me. "Are you alright? Why are you half cat? (Still haven't narrowed it down yet but unfortunately I have a hunch it's c) Why did you faint?!"
"I HAVE NO IDEA! Stop barricading me with questions!"
"Sorry! I was just worried!" I smiled, then…
"What was that about being half cat?" I sat up; but instantly regretted it, a pain streaked through my body making me dizzy.
"Lilly, you need to let yourself lay down for a bit, um did you know you got stabbed with a dart?"
"A DART?!" Scorpius fumed.
"Clam down! And in answer to your question, no."
"Um well good news, no claws. Bad news you still have the ears and tail, except they only come out if you're angry, freaked, sad, or embarrassed."
"WHAT?! You got rid of the claws! Get rid of the rest of it!"
"Look if extract even more it will kill you." He said slowly.
"BUT I'M A MUTANT KITTEN!" I shouted.
"I know! That I'm trying to figure out Lilly! If you let me have some of these blood samples I got earlier then I can see what has happened to you." I sighed and slowly sat up, turning and leaning against the seat. I took in my surroundings, I was on the Hogwarts express and I was with Scorpius and Anna, James and Albus where no where to be seen.
"Hey Lilly." Anna said shyly.
"Hey, I don't suppose you could tell me if I still have a tail or not?"
"Um…" she pointed and I looked; nothing. Phew!
"So getting self conscious are we?" Scorpius said sniggering. Yay guess what that made me angry! GREAT! Note sarcasm! My tail and ears popped up and then I exploded in anger.
"SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY! You know this just keeps getting better! First I'm a mutant cat, then I find out its half permanent then when I try to make my self feel good about it you go and MAKE ME ANGRY! WHICH TRIGGERS IT AN YOU KNEW THAT!" I almost screamed at him.
"Calm down!"
"NO THAT IS THE SECOND TIME TODAY YOU HAVE TOLD ME TO CALM DOWN! I WILL NOT BLOODY CALM DOWN!" I felt my cheeks go red from anger.
"What is wrong with you ever since last night you've been acting funny!"
"Well from what happened YOU CAN'T BLOODY BLAME ME!" I screeched I fury.
"Well if you weren't crying for no particular reason then it wouldn't have happened!"
"WELL MABEY IF I'D NEVER ET YOU THEN YOU WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE BEEN AT MY HOUSE!"
"WELL I'M STARTING TO REGRET MEATING YOU NOW!"
"Well- I- ME TOO!" I shouted.
"Ohh!" a crowd had formed out side our cabin, blocking in the escaping girl and professor.
"What happened last night?" Someone from the crowd asked turning everyone silent.
"NONE OF YOUR BLOODY BUSINESS!" I shouted.
"I bet it was something serious!" said a girl. We both burst out laughing, with embarrassment.
"No way! That is creepy!" I sighed. "Well nothing happened! We just I don't exactly know what happened I was a bit out of it at that moment." I shrugged and growled at my tail thumped the back of my neck. Then a butterfly flew in through the window. My eyes grew wide and I followed it round the compartment, chasing, my tail thrashing with excitement, and with one last pounce I caught it.
"What the hell?" someone said.
"I think she saw something." Another person said.
"SHH! Can you hear that?" everyone when quiet and stared at me.
"She's PURRING!" said someone. My head snapped from my pray and I felt a weird sensation in my throat that I hadn't noticed before.
"Lilly you are purring." Said professor Longbottom, then I got the strange urge to be petted Scorpius saw I was irritated by something.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Can you stroke my ear?" he looked at my like I'd gone mad.
"Please?" he reached down and started stroking, I instantly felt sleepy.
"Aww! That is the cutest couple moment I have EVER seen!" I immediately looked at the people still staring at us, many girls.
"You two are the cutest couple!" I jumped back, my face reddening.
"No! No, no! It's not! We're not! We're just friends!" I protested.
"I don't think so! I KNOW you two have something special!" the girl smiled and battered her eyelashes in his direction. "But, slow and you loose sister! He is on the market and so am I!"
My eyes narrowed and I felt an impulse of jealousy pang inside of me.
"Just so you know he is right here," Scorpius said irritably.
"Well, just so you know, watch out for competition kitty cat!"
"I'm not competing!" I said acidly.
"Well keep saying that and you might believe it yourself puss." She flicked her hair and stalked off just like a proud cheetah would. As the crowd scattered I death glared anything in my way.
"The NERVE of her!" I seethed, "She is so ….. Nauseatingly irksome!" I cried throwing my hands in the air speaking to no-one in particular.
"Someone called, I believe Nauseatingly irksome is here!" Scorpius sat down on the seat and smiled at me.
"I was talking about Corina, you know the girl who called my 'kitty cat'!" I growled and sat down; this was going to be a long day….
