A/N: You All May want to reread chapters 1 and 2 I have added some new things to both chapters. I would also like to say please be patient with me I'm trying to write a story that has not been seen yet on this website and with 800,000+ hp stories with new ones added daily it going a little rough. Also, I know I may be mislabeling these chapters if any of you know a better name for them let me know. I'd also like you all to know about the delays in new chapters I've been suffering from brain farts and writer's block. Also, I'm having trouble with how Madam Pomfrey is going to tell Harry about him going from a male human to a female Neko so I skipped putting it in this chapter until I can think of a good way to explain that to him, If any of you have an idea I would love to hear it. I will also be referring to Harry in male terms until he finds out about being female.

Chapter 3

Surprises

Hermione sat and waited as she watched Madam Pomfrey work on her best friend for over an hour. She would try what's left of her potions or some spell she knew. But nothing seemed to work as she would shake her head and then disappear into office.

She waited for just a few more seconds to be positive Madam Pomfrey went in there to call the Headmaster and Professor McGonagall back to the wing or to look up something else to try. She quickly got out of bed. She pulled on the housecoat provided by the wing and made her way over to the bed where her best friend was lying. She sat in the chair next to the bed to watch over Harry.

She had to jump back up with a small hiss because she accidentally sat on her new tail. She gave a little huff and moved her tail to the side. She then sat back down in the chair. She looked over and saw that harry already had black fur and sporting his new cat ears. The area where his scar was, was a dark greyish colour you could barely see it. His black messy hair was longer and looked neater which reached down to his shoulders. His new nose/muzzle had his new whiskers and his nose was black and not pink like hers.

She then noticed small movements under the sheets guessing that it was his new tail. She had to fight the urge to pounce at it. She also noticed his scent of spearmint, black liquorice, and broom polish had gotten stronger, but it was also a little different, which she put to him becoming a Neko.

As she sat and watched over harry. Her mind began to wander and questions began to form in her mind. Things like;

What is her parent's reaction going to be? Why did she not double-check the hair she used? Why would harry drink the rest of the polyjucie with the remaining cat hair? Why would he give up living a normal life to become what she was now? Where would she go cause she simply can't go into the muggle world anymore? Why does my heart pound harder whenever I catch a whiff of Harry's scent? Why do I find Harry so handsome and cute? Where can I get myself some cream or a nice codfish or a nice fat mouse?

The last thoughts bugged her because she had no idea where they came from. but, all that vanished as she heard a groin come from Harry's bed which could only mean he was waking up. She rushed over to his side and grabbed his hand/paw in hers. Why is his hand/paw small like mine? was her last thought before she called for Madam Pomfrey.

Madam Pomfrey was stumped her two recent patients have become creatures that were thought to be myths even in the wizarding world.

Like all Ravenclaws former and current she did not like not knowing something or the solution to a problem. She swore to herself she would find any info for the next time. If it would happen in her lifetime or if not, she would leave notes and the information for the next healer to work here at Hogwarts after her time. She sighed as she walked over to the fireplace and floo'd called Minerva and Albus to come back to the hospital wing. She then returned to her desk.

She sighed in the year and a half since Harry Potter joined them here at Hogwarts she has seen him more than any other student. It seemed that the boy just can't have a normal life. It was always something happening to him. To have him see her and stay in the medical wing.

He was here again and this time she did not think she can help him fully.

Her thoughts were interrupted as the green flames from her fireplace flared up and Minerva stepped out.

"Oh, thank you for returning Minerva," said Poppy. It seems we have a new situation.

"Have you found a way to help Ms Granger Poppy," said Minerva.

"Sorry, No I haven't Minerva," said Poppy. It seems after you and the Headmaster left Mr Potter had some of the leftover polyjuice and another cat hair.

Minerva sighed, "Please tell me, Poppy, He did not drink the tainted potion."

"I'm afraid so Minerva," said Poppy. "It would appear after hearing you and the headmaster talking about Ms Granger's situation and hearing there was nothing we could do to return her human. He took the steps to become like her. My guess is so she would not be alone but I feel there is more to it than that but I'm just guessing."

"There is one more thing Minerva the change Mr Potter went through had a side effect," said Poppy. She sighed, "Mr Potter is now Female."

Minerva sighed again and looked at the office door. Thinking of Ms Granger and now Ms Potter's situation. That boy now girl just can't seem to get a break with him being female she will have more trouble than she could ever imagine with being a girl now and last of her family not to mention no longer being fully human,

They both heard Hermione shout and ran out of the office and to the area where both of the students were.

Harry slowly regain consciousness and as usual, he began going over his inner checklist. Everything seemed to be normal but he did notice some stiffness in his arm and legs and he had a slight headache. He also noticed the feelings he was getting from his new ears, whiskers and tail.

"Man, did someone get the number to the Lori that hit me," said Harry.

Hermione had to stifle a laugh at hearing his question.

"No, Harry the pain and stiffness you have are from drinking the rest of my polyjuice," said Hermione. "Now, before Madam Pomfrey, the Headmaster and Professor McGonagall get here, I like to know why, why did you do this Harry, Why give up on a normal life to become like me."

"I believe we all would like to know the answer to those questions, Ms Granger, Mr Potter," said Albus, as the three adults now joined the two students.

Hearing the Headmaster caused Hermione to yelp and jump out of her seat in surprise.

Harry knew those questions would come but did not know he'd have a full audience when he answered them for Hermione. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath he brings up his Gryffindor courage. He answered them as truthfully as he could.

"Hermione," Harry said. "Before I came to Hogwarts I was alone, sure I lived with my relatives but I was on my own a lot of the time. I never had any friends thanks to Dudley. When I got on the train and met Ron then later I met you and the first thing you did was fix my glasses without even knowing me more than a few minutes, that was the best and most wonderful thing anyone has ever done for me.

I'm so sorry the first couple of months I ignored you. But, when that troll entered that bathroom and I heard you scream my heart sunk to my feet. Then I came in and saw that you were terrified I did the only thing I could think of, I jumped on its back just so you could escape. Well you know the rest we became the best of friends after that. I could not stop smiling because I just knew that I made a best friend for life.

Since then we have practically done everything together except sleep and go to the loo together he chuckled at that. Then when we went after the stone together and we were in the potion chamber I remember you said I was a great wizard. That there were more important things than books and cleverness. Bravery, friendship was just two. But, I don't know how but I feel like you were going to say something else. But, then you hugged me, the first hug that I could remember. That was the second-best thing that happened to me and they were both from you.

When I went into the next room to face snape but turned out to be Quirrell with Voldemort on the back of his head. They had me look in the mirror, This time instead of just my parents and my other family members you were there as well standing next to me. I first thought of when I woke up here afterwards was of you and Ron, hoping that you both was safe. When dobby was withholding my mail this summer it hurt a bit because I thought you and Ron forgot about me.

I thought that the whole of last year was a part of my imagination or was a big delusion of my mind. Then there was Ron and his twin brothers there to rescue me and I went to the borrow. I got my first letter that summer from you. I admit it, I still have it in my trunk come to think of it. But, I'm getting off-topic here.

Why I did this was after I heard the headmaster and the others say, you would be like this for the rest of your life and you would be alone. I could not help but promise myself that you'd never be alone. Ron has his family. But, you only have your muggle relatives that would not understand what was going on or how to help you. I could not let that happen to you not ever again.

When I heard that your parents might want to pull you out of this school. I tried to imagine what it would be like without you here and I did not like it one bit. I don't think I could ever imagine you not in my life. I know it sounds kinda selfish but it's true. You are important to me. You saved me from a lonely life. So I thought I do the same for you.

Then I realized something I know we are a little young. I came to realize that I can't live without you in my life that I can't lose you, the rest of the world could burn. But, if I had you next to me I could go on happily. If I were to lose you that would destroy me. I can't go on without you, you have been there for me since we've met. You've been my best friend someone I could come to if I had any problems you'd help me.

Saying all this aloud right now, I also realized that this is not normal that my feelings for you go beyond that of friends. I don't understand these feelings. I was hoping to figure them out, then confess them to you. With what happened I figured it was a good time to tell you, maybe even you could help me to understand them. That's if saying all this does not scare you off.

Harry opened his eyes to see four shocked faces looking back at him.

Hermione stood there shocked. Her brain going over everything he said once it completed that. Her mind gears came to a screeching halt. She had no idea harry felt that way about her. By the end of his speech, she had tears falling down her face. The fur got matted from how much she was crying. With her higher brain function currently frozen. She did what came naturally. She ran up to him wrapped him in a tight hug and without any thinking on her part planted her lips to his for her first romantic kiss ever.

At first, Harry was shocked not by the hug but by the kiss. As the shock wore off. He returned her hug and began to kiss her back.

The three adults just stood there shocked at what they heard this twelve-year-old young lad say but, the shocks were not over as they watched the two preteens hug and kiss each other, a soft golden light began to circle them.

Minerva heard in stereo, "Oh, bollocks," coming from both Poppy and Albus.

"Ok, you two I know I'm missing something here. But, could one of you explain what just happened with that glowing light." Said, Minerva.

"I believe poppy you should explain what we all saw," said Albus. "I also believe we should wait until the two youngsters could also hear the explanation.

"Oh, goodie that will let me give my explanation now, to how I became what I am now." said a new airy musical voice from behind the three adults.

The three adults turned around and gasped standing behind them was another cat-girl but she had soft light blond fur and silvery-blue eyes with a pink nose. Her tail was two feet and fluffy. She was dressed in a Ravenclaw uniform.

"Ms Lovegood explain why you are now a cat-girl," said, Minerva.

Ok, Professor kitty, said luna. While we wait for Hay... I mean Harry and Hermione to finish with their soul bond. I'll tell you how I became this way. You see yesterday morning after I woke up I got a visit from my nargle friends. They told me I would need some polyjuice potion and cat hair. So I sent a letter to my daddy telling him that I would need some polyjuce from my mummies stash of potions, along with a cat hair from my mummies cat Hilda.

He sent them to me and I got them in the post last night right before I went to bed. My nargle friends told me to wait to take it until two hours ago and that I should wait two hours to come to the hospital wing because it was important to my future along with my three new friends. We all will have to wait for the fourth person to appear because she will help the three of us with our future. I do hope she arrives soon. I've been waiting to meet her for three years now.

Again the three adults were stunned they could not understand what is going on. None of them has even heard of cat-girls or Nekos. Now there was three, if the young blond was to be believed there was soon going to be a fourth.

As the adults' brains began to recover from all the shocks they all heard a noise almost like someone tearing a sheet of parchment. Everyone that was not occupied looked over to see a bright light in the shape of a doorway. As they looked at the doorway a young lady of twelve or thirteen walked out of it and as expected she was a catgirl.

She had fur as black as the night. Her hair was long going down to her hips, it was as black as her fur but had a purple streak down the middle. Her eyes were olive green with a ring of gold around her pupil. She wore a black crop top with the neck, arms and bottom edges purple with an image of a silver bat on the front. She also wore a black Harajuku belt skirt with black knee-length boots. She also wore a black witches hat that had two black belts around the top of the hat. But, What stood out about her appearance was what looked like a set of three-foot black and silver wings. Her tail was two feet long towards the end it split into two.

"Oh, goodie you're finally here," said Luna.
