'Excuse me?' Harry asked blankly, trying to fight the urge to sneeze again.

'I said that I cannot switch back bodies with you.' Crookshanks said as if it were the most obvious of all things.

'I heard you! I just thought you were joking or something....how come we can't switch back?' Harry was beginning to feel a bit panicked, what if he could never get back to his body again? What if he was stuck eating Meow Mix for the rest of his cat life? What if he never got to tell Hermione how he felt about her?

All these 'what ifs' ran through his brain and his stomach began to squeeze up.

'Well Harry, it goes like this, every time I switch bodies with a person, I develop a special link with that person. I am able to feel all their emotions, be it hate, love, happiness, jealousy, sadness, anger or many other emotions, I can always feel it. About half an hour after you left, the link was suddenly broken off. As if somebody had grabbed the invisible rope between us and cut it in half. After that happened I knew automatically that I wouldn't be able to get out of this body.' Crookshanks finished, leaving a bewildered Harry staring at him.

'How do you know you can't switch with me? Can't you try it now?' He asked rapidly.

Crookshanks frowned and nodded his head, the black glasses protecting his green eyes shook ever so slowly.

'I cannot do it, for this has happened before-'

'So then you can get us back into our right bodies! If you did it before and were able to get out then you must be able to switch us back!' Harry said in a hopeful, but the look on his...er...Crookshanks face told him otherwise.

'Harry, it happened back during the time when the Great Merlin was my owner, I had switched bodies with a 17 year old girl so that she find out who really murdered her brother and mother. But just as she found out (for she was able to sneak around in my body) our link was cut off. But thankfully Merlin knew just what had happened and was able to get us back into our right bodies.'

'Well, that sucks for you and me because Merlin is no longer alive.so.what will we do?' Harry asked.

'My only option is to go to Dumbledore.' Crookshanks replied.

Harry agreed and Crookshanks and he left the room.

When they arrived at Dumbledore's office they were greeted by Hermione.

"Harry? Why are crawling on the floor like that?" Hermione asked, looking bewildered.

'Hermione! I thought she was still with Justin!' Harry panicked. But Crookshanks was even more panicked. He tried standing up on his two legs, but he couldn't keep his balance. Hermione helped who she thought to be Harry up on his feet, but Crookshanks just fell back down.

"Harry.what's wrong with you?" Hermione asked.

Luckily they were saved by Dumbledore,

"Ah, Miss. Granger! How nice to see you!" Then Dumbledore looked down on the floor, "You too Mr. Potter."

"Now, Miss. Granger why did you decide to come to my office?"

"Well, I was with a friend in Hogsmead when Malfoy came up to us and insulted us." Dumbledore nodded for her to go on.

"Well usually I don't come to you when he does stuff like this, but this time he threatened me, and he sounded for real and I was just a bit worried." Hermione said.

Harry looked up at her with sad eyes.

'I swear Malfoy, if you lay one finger on her, I'll..I'll bite you.' Harry thought.

"What exactly did Mr. Malfoy say to you?" Dumbledore asked in a soft voice.

Hermione just looked at him and sighed,

"He said that I better watch my back or something bad is bound to happen."

"Oh, my, that does sound like a threat. I'll have a talk with Mr. Malfoy, until then go to your dormitory and rest for a while."

Hermione nodded and walked off, but she suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Harry? Aren't you coming along?" She asked quizzically.

Crookshanks in Harry's body just looked at her.

"Ah, Miss. Granger I need a word with Harry real quick, he'll be along shortly." Hermione just gave Harry a confused look and walked off, but not without calling for her cat.

"Crookshanks, come on!"

But Harry didn't move.

"Crookshanks! Come on, I don't have all day!" Hermione yelled.

"How about Crookshanks stays here with Harry? That way you don't have to worry about him." Dumbledore gave Hermione a reassuring smile. Hermione just sighed and turned and walked off.

"Now Mr. Potter," Dumbledore looked down at Harry in Crookshanks body,

"What seems to be the problem this time?"
