The last thing Emily knew was hearing Herman say he was human, and then the rest had gone black. Now, Emily was lying on the floor of the classroom unaware of anything that was happening around her. Herman leaped off the table as he saw her fall and ran over to her face.
"Em, Emily, are you alright?" Herman asked but no response came from her.
Herman walked up very close to face and began licking her cheek, hoping to wake her. Herman saw her eyes close tighter and he knew he'd done it. He backed away as she sat up and wiped her cheek.
"Yuck! Who's been licking me?" Emily screamed wiping her cheek franticly.
"Guilty," Herman said raising his paw.
"Gross! Cat slobber," Emily screamed and began running around the room like an idiot.
"Get over it," Herman said, "Did you even hear what I said before you fell onto the floor?"
Emily stopped running and looked round onto the floor where Herman sat staring up at her. Emily nodded no daring to speak. Herman leaped onto her shoulder and said, "Dare I say more to you or will it make you die of shock again?"
"Very funny cat," Emily said taking him off her shoulder and placing him on a desk.
"You are going to continue sometime soon?" Emily asked staring around the classroom.
Herman jumped at the sound of her voice and nodded his little chest breathing very fast. Emily watched him and noticed that this seemed a topic he really wasn't very comfortable with.
"Well-," Herman started.
"Just start at the beginning," Emily said calmly. Herman nodded and began to start on his little story. Herman cleared his throat then he began.
"Like I said before, I'm a human, a human which happens to be one of Tom's friends and-," Herman started again.
"Who are you?" Emily asked interested, "Are you my age?"
Herman narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm younger than you."
Emily shrugged then said, "And you are. who?"
Herman looked anywhere but at Emily then said, "Just let me tell my story."
Emily groaned and nodded. Herman smiled and began to start his story again.
"As I was saying, I'm a human and one of Tom's friends," Herman started, "and on Christmas day I thought I'd go around to his house and give him present. So like, I went around there and when I knocked on the door, his mum answered. She saw me, and it was a joke of ours to dress up as spooky stuff, so I dressed up as a death eater. And well, when she saw me, she thought I was one and you know, turned me into a cat and slammed the door in my face.
"So I sort of gathered that Tom wasn't at home and was at school for the holidays, so I decided to send myself to him, but so far, he hasn't got a clue who I am," Herman said and concluded his story.
Emily quickly shut her mouth and nodded and looked around the room. Herman shook his head and sank his claws into her leg and Emily let out a long, loud scream.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?" Emily asked rubbing her leg when he had taken out his claws.
"It was to quiet," Herman said his whiskers falling.
"Next time, open your own mouth to break the silence," Emily said still rubbing her leg.
Emily glared at the cat, who was just watching the wall like something has hiding inside it, waiting for it to appear. Emily shook her head then said, "Now can you bloody tell me who you are?"
Herman nodded and said quietly, "My real name is Nick, Nick Tytler."
*~*~*~*
The next morning, Ginny was glad to wake up to know it was finally a weekend. Ginny smiled to herself and got out her bed and got dressed. She left her dormitory, quietly but she woke Lauren who looked rather sleepy.
"Where are you off to?" Lauren asked rubbing her eyes.
"A walk, wanna join me?" Ginny asked bending over her bed.
"Nope, to tired, but if you see Laura anywhere, tell her I need to talk to her," Lauren said then laid back down on her pillow and went back to sleep.
Ginny bent back up straight and said quietly, "Yeah, sure Lauren."
Ginny closed her dormitory door behind her quietly and walked down the dormitory stairs and out of the common room. She looked up and down the corridor, but no-one was in sight.
She began walking, not knowing where she was heading and just walked. She enjoyed being able to walk with no-one bugging her. She felt free, until she found Michael sitting on the side of the stairs.
"Gin, I've been waiting for you," Michael said standing up.
"You can still wait," Ginny said walking straight passed him.
"But baby-,"
"Don't call me baby!" Ginny yelled not turning back.
"But you are my baby," Michael said running up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Get off!" Ginny squealed fighting him off.
"Gees, what did I do?" Michael asked upset.
"I'm already taken," Ginny said backing away.
Michael laughed and said, "Well duh, By me!"
"By Peter you mean!" Ginny yelled and run off.
Michael didn't even bother calling her back, at the moment he wanted to find Peter and kill him. Michael clenched his fists and stormed back up the stairs to wait for Peter. But to Michael's dislike, Peter had already left and was busy preparing for what he was going to do today.

"Bit higher dude," Rhys said as he, Paul and Tom were adding the finishing touches to their instruments.
"But this star looks better here, not there," Tom said pointing out.
"Guys forget it! We should be more worried about what we are wearing not what's on our instruments!" Paul shouted.
Tom and Rhys both looked down sadly at the floor. Paul sighed and said, "Don't worry, we'll discuss it later."
"Sorry I'm late guys," Ginny announced as she entered the classroom.
"You should be," Paul said sourly.
Rhys hit him on the arm and had a look on his face that read 'Don't start it'. Paul rolled his eyes and keep on adjusting the guitar strings. Ginny frowned and looked around at all three of them all busy with everything.
"Only this then next week to go," Ginny said trying to break the silence.
"It's actually three weeks until no more school," Rhys said with a laugh. (A/N OK, so I made them just come back from holidays, I'm about near the end of this story so yeah, and the weeks traveled a bit: P)
"No you dick, I mean until the talent show," Ginny said laughing too.
Ginny then looked over at Rhys and then both of them both started cracking up laughing. Tom rolled his eyes and stuck more stickers on his guitar. And while Paul fixing the other, he watched Ginny, still wondering how her and Peter came about.
"So, guys, are we still going to dedicate this to Peter on the night?" Ginny asked when she controlled her laughing.
Rhys who was still laughing suddenly just stopped at the sound of Peter's name. The whole room went quiet nothing could be heard except for some birds singing outside the window.
"Guess that's a no then," Ginny said sadly and kicked the ground.
"He hasn't exactly been nice to us," Tom said standing up.
"But he's changed!" Ginny shouted pleading.
"What form bad to worse?" Rhys asked his head falling in his hands.
Ginny looked over at Paul for his opinion but Paul wouldn't even look at her. He just didn't have a problem with Peter, it was Ginny as well. Ginny just nodded gathering what their answer was.
Just then, the sound of the creaky door could be heard being opened from behind them and in stepped Peter who had been listening to their whole conversation. Rhys started shaking in his chair and curled up in a ball, he was terrified of Peter.
"Can't you guys forget about the past?" Peter asked trying not to let his sadness show.
"Not when it was hell," Tom said standing up for himself.
"I'm sorry about what I said to you guys and I mean that," Peter said sincerely.
Ginny's eyes lit up when she heard him say that. She grinned and ran over to him and gave him a hug, despite their fight they had had. Peter smiled and hugged her back but still looked at Tom, awaiting his answer.
"You call that an apology?" Tom asked in shock.
"Yeah I do, 'cause I mean it, from the bottom of my heart," Peter said sounding a bit stupid.
"I don't think you did," Tom said.
"Well man, I do OK, so lets just get on with our new lives," Peter said shrugging.
"What, excluding you? I hardly call that new," Tom said glaring at Peter.
"Tom! That's enough!" Ginny yelled pointing her finger at Tom.
"No Gin, don't worry about it, he has a right to be mad," Peter said more depressed than ever.
Rhys noticed the sadness in his eyes and decided to do something that he'd never think of doing. Rhys gulped and went over next to Peter. Peter looked up at Rhys, tears forming in them, and Rhys grinned as usual and put his arm around his shoulders. Peter stood there in shock, he couldn't believe it. Rhys had forgiven him.
"What are you doing Rhys?" Tom asked in just as much shock as Peter.
"H-he's right Tom, we can't live in the past. So why not become friends," Rhys said who couldn't believe what he was saying.
Paul who hadn't said a word this whole time just watched as one of the people he hated Peter's guts forgive him for everything he had done to him. Paul smiled, knowing that he didn't have to stay angry at Peter anymore seen Rhys had forgiven him.
Paul put down his drum sticks and went over to Peter's side as well, which was more like down near his shoulder. Peter looked down at his old little pal smile up at him, knowing that he was back, back as his friend.
"Thanks little matey," Peter said and put a hand on Paul's shoulder.
Ginny smiled as those three became friends again. She then looked smugly over at Tom whose face hadn't changed since he yelled at Peter. He just stood there staring at his friends, turning their backs on him.
"Come on Tom, forget the past," Rhys said walking over to his best friend.
"No Rhys, I don't forget stuff like that to easily," Tom said stepping back from Rhys.
"Tom, come on dude jus-,"
"Rhys get stuffed alright! I'd rather die than become his friend!" Tom yelled watching his best friend betray him before his eyes.
"Fine then, if that's the way you want it," Rhys said trying not to sound sad, "You know where I am."
Rhys took one last look at Tom when went back over to Peter and Paul. Peter opened the door and Paul and Ginny followed him out. Rhys got to the door, looked back at Tom and left the room his hands shaking like crazy and his eyes hurting trying not to cry. Rhys whipped away and slammed the door behind him as he left. Tom was now left alone. Tom nodded and looked around at the instruments he was left with.
"Lets be friends?" Tom said cheerfully.
Tom let out a scream and said, "That's just like sinking to Rhys' level."
Tom shook these feelings aside and left the room as well rather alone and lonely. As Tom stepped outside the room, who else to be waiting to enter, no-one other than Emily who was holding Herman in her hands.
"What-?" Tom was going to ask.
"No time to explain, just come on," Emily said and dragged Tom off with her.
*~*~*~*
In the warmth of the common room, Ron and Hermione sat doing one of Hermione's favourite pass times, reading. Ron sat there with his arm around her while she read. When Hermione read the interesting parts out to him he just nodded and grunted. He was to busy thinking, thinking about Emily.
When he saw how sad she was yesterday it showed Ron how much she really did care about him. Ron just shook his head. That couldn't be right, he had the girl he wanted right in his arms so why would he care about Emily?
'I'm over Emily now, I got my Hermione,' Ron told himself.
But not matter how hard he tried denying it, deep down inside of himself, he knew that he still liked Emily, just as much when he first meet her on that day in Diagon Ally. Ron smiled as he remember that day they meet. Emily was so cute when she giggled at him. Remembering this, Ron's stomach gave a weird lurch. Ron looked glumly at the ground. Despite having Hermione in his arms, Emily still had a place in his heart.
Ron jumped out of these thoughts when the porthole opened with a loud 'BANG!' Ron looked over to who to yell at, and of course it turned out to be Emily and Tom plus his cat Herman. Ron gulped and turned away blushing.
"Err, mind us," Emily said and continued running up the stairs dragging Tom behind.
"She's still nutty since yesterday," Hermione whispered shaking her head.
"No she's not Hermione," Ron said his eyes widening as he heard what he just said.
"Ron, are you, do you-,"
"No, no! Course not Hermione! Don't you worry," Ron said who couldn't look in her eyes.
Hermione just smiled and snuggled closer to Ron and continued on reading happily. Ron could feel his heart beat twice as fast. He couldn't handle lying, and it was even worse when it was to their face.
Up in her dormitory, Emily sat Tom down on her bed, placed Herman next to him and began flicking through a big book of spells. Tom watched her oddly and asked what all this was for.
"What kind of spells does your mum use Tom?" Emily asked and scanned the pages.
"What do you mean what kind of spells?" Tom asked shrugging.
Emily groaned then said, "Damn there's a whole four pages on it!"
"A whole four pages on WHAT?" Tom asked beginning to get annoyed.
"Turning people into cats," Emily said and looked through the spells.
Tom made a face and looked over at Herman who was trying to act cat-like so he didn't suspect anything. Tom raised an eyebrow and said, "What's going on here Em?"
"What kind of human turning into cats spells does your mum use?" Emily asked looking up from her book.
"Have you gone completely bonkers?! Last she did one of those was on Ben," Tom said shocked, "God I miss my brother. He's not the same as a cat."
"Were you there when she did that?" Emily asked eagerly.
"Yeah, I was five so it's a bit blurred though," Tom said, "But I can still remember it."
"So do you remember how she performed it?" Emily asked, "Because it says here that the only difference between the spells is all how you use your wand."
Tom pulled another face and said stupidly, "She mainly causes spells with her wand flicking downwards."
Emily grinned and gave a quick glance at Herman. She then marked the page, stood up and threw Tom out of the room. When she going to close the door Tom stopped it and asked, "All that and your throwing me out?"
Emily thought about it then quickly said, "Yeah."
And she then shut the door in his face. Tom sighed and mumbled, "Girls what nutters they are."
Behind the door, Emily turned around and went back to the book. Herman hopped down from the bed and sat on the floor next to her. Herman watched Emily quickly scan through the spells until she shouted, "Found it!"
"You did, Terrific!" Herman said and leaped into the air.
"Oh no," Emily said reading it more carefully.
"What, can't it be reversed?" Herman asked worriedly.
"Yeah, of course it can. The bad thing is, it won't be ready until another two weeks," Emily said reading through the spell.
"Two weeks? You've got to be joking! Are you sure it's the right one?" Herman asked pacing the room.
"Certain, there's only one spell that uses a downwards movement," Emily said and tore the spell out of the book.
Herman stopped pacing and sat on the spot of the floor. Emily shut the book and crawled over to him. Emily picked him up and placed him in her lap.
"Don't you worry Her- I mean, Nick, you'll be back to normal for the talent show," Emily said looking on the bright side, "which means you can see Tom and the others perform."
Herman looked up at Emily and his little kitty cat lips curved into a smile. He purred and nudged Emily on her arm. Emily giggled and patted the cat on the head. Emily picked him up and looked at the spell again.
"The potion to reverse it doesn't look too hard," Emily said, "The ingredients look harder."
Herman grabbed the paper out of her hand and read through the ingredients. She saw his mouth grin with glee. He looked up at her and said, "You leave the ingredients to me."
Emily nodded and placed the cat on the ground, and he was off. Emily smiled and closed the door behind him.
"Please don't get caught," Emily said quietly and lent against the door.
