I only own Kabu.

I have to admit, the castle was as nice on the inside as it was on the outside. Dumble-dude tolled me to put my stuff in a hallway with other trunks, and then we made our way to the Great Hall, which is apparently were they eat. He told me to wait outside the doors while the first years were being sorted, then he would introduce me and I would be sorted.

"You will have that time to decide weather you wish to enter as a cat then go to human or enter as a human. I will not tell them that you are a cat and that you have different powers. That will be you job, if you want them to know at all. I must leave you now. You will have about half and hour to decide, but when I call you, you must be ready. What name do you want me to call you in by?"

"Kabu Cats."

"Good. Then you understand what to do?"

I nod my head. Of course I understand. Why wouldn't I? He walks into the hall and I think things over.

Cat to human or human. Don't want to become totally human, so I'll enter with cat appendages. My tail is a definite, probably my ears and claws. No, not the ears. They always looked weird with human features. Maybe I could do the lower half of my body as a cat, and the upper part as a human. Yah, that would work, except I would elongate the legs, make it so I'm the same height as I am in human form. And grey hair. On my head of course; semi long hair, with the tips brown. That works. And keep the eyes. I think I'm ready, just need to make a good entrance. Even though these are humans, I still have to look good. This should also shock them. Probably teleport in. from what I remember, it's the same as using Floo powder to travel, at least, in effect it does. Now I just have to wait here until he calls me in. Opps. Forgot my earring. A fine silver sliver through my right ear. I use it whenever I come across a werewolf. There. I'm ready.

"Kabu Cats."

And that's my cue to enter. I teleport in, and for some reason, I come to see that everybody was staring wide eyed at me. Gee, I wonder why?

"That was very interesting, Mr. Cats. What spell was that?" the speaker was a very small man, about the height of a goblin. He had a curious look on his face.

"I didn't do a spell. I just teleported. You know. Natural magics. And you can all shut you mouths now. It's like you people have never seen somebody teleport."

"That is because we haven't. Nobody here can teleport." said some lady standing by a hat on a stool.

"Really? Nobody of your species can teleport? How sad." They're confused. They are all confused. Except Dumbledore. I think it was when I said 'Your Species'. Yep. That has to be it. I'm getting bored now, so I'll just continue. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Oh, ah. Please sit on the stool so we can sort you." The lady by the stool said as she picked up the hat.

I can tell you now; the hat has seen better days, days which it probably won't see ever again. Apparently, the students or the teachers haven't seen my legs or tail yet, as they have calmed down. Though, I'm not surprised, as I have my hands in front which are holding the front of my robe together. Oh well, time for them to be amazed yet again.

I've never seen so many mouths drop or so many people squeak as I have then. Eyes were bulging; one or two people fainted; a few fell off their seats; and a few stood up to get a better look. The teachers weren't much better. A teacher with greasy black hair spit out the drink he was drinking at the time. Dumbledore seemed slightly amused.

"I didn't expect you to come in with that appearance."

"Well, you said come in how I wanted. I just changed how I looked. Simple, really."

"Does that mean you are going to tell them?"

I had not thought about telling everybody I was a cat, but I had a better idea in mind.

"I'm going to let them guess. Whoever gets it right will have all their questions answered and more, but until then, I won't answer any questions about my self. Including to the teachers. Excluding you, Prof. Dumbledore."

"When will they be able to tell you what they think you are?"

"Whenever they want. Except, of course, during class and a night."

A girl a one of the tables stood up. She had big-ish hair and was around the age of sixteen.

"You are a cat."

I was dumbfounded. How could she know that?

"Well? Am I correct?"

"Ms. Granger seems to have found out your secret Kabu. Though I'm not surprised, as it is not hard to come to that conclusion."

I thought I wasn't that obvious.

"Yes, you are correct Ms. Granger. I am a cat. Well have to arrange a good time to meet so I can answer your question, and you can help me out with a few of mine, also." Turning back to the stool, I sit on it and the hat is put on my head.

"Interesting," it said. "you are very curious. Curiosity killed the cat, eh?"

"Actually, it was curiosity that got this cat banished from the Forbidden Forest and sent here as punishment. And curiosity has never killed a cat before. That's just an old and very stupid saying."

"Hmm, bravery and a thing for breaking rules. I believe you will fit very well in Gryffindor."

"Which one is that?"

"It is were Ms. Granger is sitting at."

Great. I have to sit with the smart girl. Lucky me.
