Disclaimer: Go look at Chapter One! Go on!

Notes: I will finish this if it kills me!!! It's nearing an end. Crookshanks and the other members of FWTO step up their actions to take over the school. The Slytherin student gets a temporary name. Snape gets free. And this chapter is short because I'm low on motivation and inspiration. T.T

If Cats Could Talk

Dumbledore and the Slytherin student-turned-cat walked through the halls swiftly, the students on their way to breakfast nimbly stepping out of the way with a polite and respectful nod for the headmaster. She was the only cat in the hallway, which could not be a good sign.

"So for the meantime, we'll call you Kat, if that's alright with you." He glanced down to see his small, furry companion nod absently. She was scanning the hallways for other cats. "The first thing we'll do is take you to Professor McGonagall to transfigure you back to human. At least then we can work through what you remember before you were Obliviated. I have the entire staff on the lookout for Argus and Severus."

-I hate my life. Did I say that already? Because I do.-

"Crookshanks, sir..."

"Yes, Sugar?" The one-eyed kitten glanced over her shoulder at the two human captives gagged and bound to chairs. Crookshanks' three big toms were pawing at the humans, big stupid-grins on their faces.

"I'm having second thoughts about all this. Isn't this rather inhumane?"

"My dear Sugar, they're only dumb humans. Besides, we'll release them once we have complete control over everything and they'll be the better for it. Now, we're going out to start phase two, so I think it would be best if you stayed behind." He smiled kindly at the calico before him. "We won't be long." With that he took up the greasy-headed human's wand and led the squad of felines out to the unsuspecting castle.

Sugar, Remus Lupin's slightly-psycho kitten, sat upon the teacher's desk and watched the two dirty humans. Her wolf-monkey was more wolfy today, the day before the full moon, so he was gone for a while until his severe PMS problem was over. She was deeply troubled by this rather cruel treatment of humans.

"I mean, I know they're not cats, but they still don't deserve to be treated like this," she muttered to herself. "We've been doing fine as we were for a long time. What's wrong with the way things are?"

She shook her head. "That's it. I can't help this anymore. Call me a monkey- lover, but..." She jumped down from the table and pulled the knots loose in the black-dressed ape. He shook the ropes off and stood stiffly. Then he turned a black fire gaze down on the six-month old kitten. He sneered.

"Time for revenge you little hairball!"

"AHHH!"

"Come back here! Once I get my wand back, I'll hex you into the Abyss!"

"No! Quit chasing me! I freed you!"

"That was your last mistake! The first being crossing me!"

"I'm too cute to dieeeee!"

Professor McGonagall sat at the staff table in the Great Hall as the students filled the large hall. Breakfast was coming to an end, and soon people would begin to leave to go to their classes. She spoke softly to Professor Dumbledore, occasionally gesturing to Kat, who sat on the table and ate from a large plate of bacon.

"Of course we can make her human, again, but it will take a few days at the least, Albus," McGonagall was saying. "But she may never be the same again. She can't even remember her own name. I don't know what it will be like for her as a human."

-Mmmm, bacon!- Kat thought to herself.

Dumbledore frowned and looked at the ecstatic feline beside him. She was completely clueless. The last thing the wizard wanted was for one of his brightest, if rather unknown, pupils to be lost to humanity.

Then the double doors to the Great Hall burst open and the league of talking cats entered the room. In the lead was Crookshanks, a wand in his jaws. He waved it about and muttered, "Expelliarmus." As one, every wand in the room flew up from its owners' robes and flew over to the squadron of cats. Crookshanks set the wand down so he could speak more clearly.

"Hello apes!" he called. "Welcome to the new world order."

The doors closed behind him and locked, leaving the staff and students trapped in the Great Hall, with a small horde of armed cats with a purpose.
