Disclaimer: I don't own HP!
A/N: Okay I decided this morning (more like 12:00am) that this would be like the first part of my Potion Series. So I'll be making more fics about potions and such. New characters will be coming out too. I think one from Egypt or something. We'll see in the next one. This chapter is going to be a little or a lot longer then the others. Sorry
*Felinious Potion*
Flying in the wonderful fresh breeze, the snowy white owl owned by the Gryffindor Beater, flew to Gryffindor tower to awake it's owner once again. It flew down to the pillow and nudged its owner wide-awake. She smiled at the young owl and gave him an owl treat before he flew off to get the mail. Yawning lazily she pulled back the curtains and wished it were Sunday again. She grabbed her robes and such and walked to the bathroom to change into her school clothes. Still yawning as she walked to the shower and turned it on, her emerald eyes closed and listened to the flowing of the water as it hit the tiled floor. Lifting her arm and letting it feel the boiling water upon her skin, wishing to wash memories and a few things out of her mind. Sighing quietly as the water was warm she stepped in and closed the door to the shower. Closing her eyes still as she leaned her head onto the wall with the faucet and all, allowing the water to fall upon her back and into her auburn hair. It felt good to get rid of things she dislikes in her mind. Her mum wouldn't have liked it is she worried too much about anything. She never even told her brother that their mum had died a while back, she was still in their hearts, but their mum had left her father and took Sakura when she was only a little girl watching her little brother learn to crawl. That memory soon faded away and tears threatened to break free in her emerald eyes. She promised her mum that she wouldn't tell her brother till he was old enough to know she was gone. She felt so bad for having to keep such a big secret from him. She lived with her father now, but it was hard to keep the secret. Shaking her mind free of the thoughts and finishing with her shower, she dressed in her robes and went back into the dorm room where she might be able to lay in before for a good long while. Lying in bed, after using a charm to style and dry her hair, she looked up at the scarlet velvet canopy. She closed her eyes and listened to the waking of her roommates and the rain outside.
"Sakura? Are you alright?" A voice spoke to her
"What? Oh yea, I'm fine." She replied to her friend, Hermonie, after recognizing her voice.
"We have the potion project today, remember we have to make the potion, test it out, and then we'll get graded." Hermonie said.
"I know that, you better change or you're going to be late for breakfast."
"What? Oh no!" She rushed away into the bathroom with her things.
Getting up lazily, she made her way down to the Great Hall to have a quick breakfast, read her animagus book, and head down to the dungeons for potions. Of all places she wanted to be was in the dungeons. She liked the fact it was quiet, but hated the fact it was cold during winter. She grabbed her bag and headed down to the Great Hall. What would she do today? She was off after Defense Against the Dark Arts, which was after her Care of Magical Creatures Class. She sat down near the middle of the Gryffindor table and took out her book as she ate some toast and eggs, which was always what she ate, since she saves the bacon for her little owl Desert to eat as a reward for bringing her mail. Being as curios as she was, she study about Animagus in her spare time and asked her teacher about how to become one. It was so complicated to her, but she got it once Professor McGonagall explained it to her in a calmer voice.
"Sakura? Hey Sakura?" A boyish voice asked.
Looking up from her book, she saw a raven-haired boy with a scar on his forehead as well as wearing glasses to hide his boyish eyes.
"Just fine, I'm just reading up on Animagus'."
"You always do that every time I come down. You must really want to be one."
"Yea I do, I told you my mum and dad are Animagus." Oh how it pained her to talk about her mom.
"I know, but how many books have you read already?"
"Not sure, my dad and Professor McGonagall give me books. Professor McGonagall is going to go with me to take the test to register as an Animagus."
"That's good, she'll get you some good marks. She's a great Animagus."
"I know, that why she thought she should come wi…" She stopped her words as she watched her owl come swooping into the great hall along with others following him.
He glided down to her and landed on the table, perched on top of a package wrapped in parchment. She untied the item from him and allowed the owl to eat off her plate. She unwrapped the parcel and found a small little box waiting to be opened. She opened the box and found a small little unicorn stepping out of the box after she had placed it on the table. She watched as it moved over to a strawberry on her plate and started to munch on it.
"I've never seen one of those before. I mean small figurine that moves around."
"Neither have I." She took out the little card from the box and read it to herself.
"Who's it from?"
"My dad, it's just like my mum's pet unicorn. She had a bunch of them, but when I saw them in the little bird cage I thought they were fake."
"They're like little toys…at least you didn't play with them."
"I couldn't, my little brother would run around the house screaming for his little puppy." She said with a smile remembering the moments.
She looked happy when she saw Harry laughing. It was pretty funny to thinking about it too. They both got up and headed to Potions class early. Usually no one would be up early and down to the Great Hall when the first set of owls came in, so they were always able to get through breakfast and get to their first class quickly. They had potions 3 times a week, and a special world wide magic study. This was probably Sakura's favorite class. Her Uncle taught this class and it made her happy to have family around now and then. Her Uncle had traveled the world and he always had exciting stories to tell and more magic to tell a well. They both walked to class and got their things ready as people began to file into the classroom. They all got to work quickly and watched Professor Snape walk around the classroom spying on the class as they worked. Some people had failed to even test out their potions when they had the whole day to come to the potions classroom to try. He continued to walk around for a good while.
"We just have to wait 3 minutes now." Draco told his partner, Sakura.
She nodded and watched people in her class watch their potions either explode or melt their cauldrons. This was something Professor Snape though Neville Longbottom to do, but he had made the potion correctly for once. After the three minutes had gone by they both took a vial and drank their potion. It made them have a tingly feeling that Transfiguration Potions always do. They both thought about being a feline, soon enough they were sitting on the stools with fur, ears, eyes, tail, claws, and the body of a panther. They looked at each other and were happy the other hadn't gone crazy much like Sakura did before. They looked around the class and saw a mountain lioness walking over to them. She recognized the scent; it was her friend, Akari. As a panther before it was easy to remember who was who. She pounced on the mountain lioness and played with her friend for a while before Draco broke them apart because Professor Snape was coming. She hopped back onto the stool and changed back to her normal self, robes and all. Draco has done the same as her and watched Professor Snape walk over and looked at them with a bit of anger in his eyes.
"Well? Did your potion work or did you fail like the rest of the class?" He said still with hints of anger.
They both looked at each other and changed back to a panther, and then changed to halflings, part feline meaning ears, eyes, tail, and claws of a panther. Professor Snape looked a bit happier to see that at least 2 groups, not including Hermonie's group, had completed the potion.
"What's next? Professor Snape breaks a table in anger?" Draco questioned.
"You spoke too soon." Sakura replied as they saw one of the stone desks was broken into halves.
"We're going to get it now…"
And now the world goes 'round and 'round with Snape yelling as usual.
"5 FOOT ESSAY ON THE DRACONOUS POTION WITH YOUR PARTNER! DUE ON MY DESK NEXT WEEK! YOU BETTER TEST OUT YOUR POTION BEFORE CLASS OR ELSE IT'S GOING TO BE A 10 FOOT ESSAY NEXT TIME!"
On second thought…
"I guess we got another essay to do…"Sakura and Draco said at the same time as the class groaned.
