DRACO MALFOY'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK
CHAPTER 7
Dumbledore raced into the transfiguration classroom with Draco close behind him. Dumbledore watched amused as a large tabby cat, who he knew to be Professor McGonigall appeared to be trying to teach a small black kitten, whom he guessed to be Harry to turn back into his human form. The two cats were meowing at each other quickly but stopped when Dumbledore and Draco entered the room and with a small pop the tabby cat turned back into Professor McGonigall. Harry the kitten let out a woeful meow as he attempted to change but to no avail.
Dumbledore smiled, "can he understand us?" he asked the other professor, "yes," she replied, "but I can only understand him when I am in cat form and was just answering some of his questions." Dumbledore simply nodded and walked over to where Harry the kitten was. It appeared that Harry had only just discovered that he had a tail which he could control himself and he was now swishing it around and watching it in interest but stopped when he realised that Dumbledore was laughing at him. "Well Harry, it appears that your newly discovered powers allow you to become a cat. Most exciting for you I'm sure, however turning back when you don't know how can be quite hard, if I was attempt a spell on you to turn you back there would be a risk that I could get it wrong and you would be a cat forever." Draco looked horrified and jumped up seizing Harry and holding him close, Harry now swishing his tail angrily and hissing. "Calm down" smiled Dumbledore raising his hand, "we are not going to do anything, Harry you will simply have to remain a cat until the spell wears of, it should be about three days and then you will turn back into yourself naturally…I hope…" Dumbledore smiled before continuing, "in the meantime I am sure Draco will agree to look after you and take you along to all your lessons so you don't miss out on too much, I will inform the teachers but it might be best if we just tell the student's that you are sick, ...yes…well go to dinner for now and Draco I will be in contact with you."
With that Draco still looking incredibly worried picked up Harry the kitten and headed down for tea. He took his normal place at his house table and realised it had been quite a while since he'd sat here as he and Harry had been sticking to their private room. Some of his friends said hello but most people didn't look at him still unsure about his new lex-veela powers and the fact that he was now with Harry. Draco sat the kitten on the table next to him and instantly all the girls in sight were swooning at the sight of the tiny black kitten all wanting to hold him and pet him. Draco worried enough about the fact that Harry was a kitten quickly pulled him out of harms way, however Harry had other ideas. If he was going to be stuck as a cat, he decided, he might as we enjoy it! He walked across the table and up to Pansy who was simply delighted and started petting him and fussing over him. Draco was fuming.
It wasn't long before the food appeared on the table and everyone had forgotten about Harry and were busy eating. Harry was hungry as well and walked over to a plate of chicken which he sniffed with interest but someone moved him out of the way. He hissed at them and found himself being picked up again by Draco only moments before a large owl landed on the table with a book tied to its leg and a note with Draco's name on it.
Draco untied the book and note and read it quickly, it was from Dumbledore and the book was about cats and how to understand and look after them. If Harry could have he would have laughed at the shocked look on Draco's face but instead he started to meow over and over again hoping that someone would realise that he was hungry.
Draco looked worried at Harry's behaviour and started madly flicking though to book to see if there was a section on meowing cats. He was relieved when he found a page on cat body language stating that when a cat purred it was happy, when it hissed or wriggled its tail it was unhappy or angry and when it meowed it wanted something. Draco looked away from the book and to the small kitten sitting on his lap now hungrily eyeing the chicken on his plate. "Oh," Draco whispered, "are you hungry?" Harry meowed again and put his front paws on the table trying to reach Draco's chicken. Draco laughed and put Harry back on the table so that he could show him what food he wanted and then Draco put it on a plate for him.
The people around him were disgusted at the cat now eating of Draco's plate as they didn't realise that it was actually Harry, they started complaining loudly and not wanting to have to go into details Draco gathered up Harry and took some of the food with him up to their bedroom.
After eating Draco started his homework and Harry decided he wanted to explore as a cat. He raced around the room and was delighted when he discovered how high he could jump. He walked along the top of the bookshelf and accidentally knocked a few books onto the ground. This caught Draco's attention and he was horrified to see how high Harry was and started trying to coax him down. "Harry don't you think you would like to be on the floor much better?" he asked in his most pleading voice. Harry sniggered to himself and jumped from the bookcase to the ground causing Draco to scream as he flew through the air only to land safely on his feet.
"That's enough!" Draco screamed, "I think its time for bed!" Draco was still quite alarmed by the days events and decided that he needed to lie down and think the situation over so he could decided best how to deal with things. Harry the kitten yawned in agreement and watched as Draco took of his clothes and got ready for bed. Knowing that he was being watched Draco suddenly realised that even though Harry was a cat Harry would still have his own mind and could understand what he was saying as well as what he was doing. Draco blushed at the realisation that Harry had just seen him naked but secretly though this situation could work in his favour. Now ready for bed he gently lifted Harry from the ground and carried him to his bed as well. The small kittens mind began to work overtime but neve the less went along with Draco. Draco pulled back the silk sheets and laid down and the small black kitten stretched out besides him purring softly as Draco stroked his back and head. Harry was pleased when he felt Draco kiss him softly on his furry head and whisper "good night Harry" and he meowed quietly back hoping Draco would understand. Draco smiled and continued to stroke Harry.
Both Draco and Harry (the kitten) were asleep in no time but Harry couldn't help wondering to himself what it would be like if they were asleep like this but he wasn't a cat.
