A.N. this was my first fanfic I ever wrote so treat it nicly. Some of you may recognise me from Death-curse(?) , my name is Monika but somebody had already taken that one so I reverted to my chat room name,Galixia, you might also know me from the DC forums where I'm Ryu-chan( yeah that name was also already taken) ,I'm the one who keeps on starting new storys but never updates the old ones... but what can I say, I have a brain overflowing with ideas ( nasty visual image, that) and I have written, to the count 30 odd fanfics most of wich have only 1 or 2 chapters. Then they were heartlessly abandoned. Sniffle may they rest in piece on my harddrive. But back to the story at hand. Right now, it consists of 7 chapters, two of wich you can read on FF right now. You can either try your luck on this story wich will deffinatly be updated till chap7 and hope that I come out of my writers block/hiatus by the time I post that chapter( updating once a week) or you can go try another story. Just don't say I didn't warn you. This story has been chosen over my others cos its got the most chapters...I can post some more if you like but the most I've got to offer is two four chapter storys wich have been discontinued cos I'm a lazy bum.cheers.

Disclaimer( grumble, grumble, didn't have to do these on DC) I don't own Harry Potter and any characters associated. --.--; Do I look like J.K.Rowling to you? Huh ?huh ? Do I ?

A cats perspective Chapter1

It was the beginning of the gangs sixth year at Hogwarts. Well, not really, that is to say, it hadn't as yet begun. Harry, Hermione and Ron were camped out in a compartment on the Hogwarts express with Ginny and Neville. Hermione was in a bad mood. She had been practicing certain complicated spells in the holidays, but couldn't quite seem to get the hang of some of them. Also Malfoy and his gang had frightened poor Crookshanks senseless by turning him into a snail. The reverse spell had been easy enough but Crookshanks still refused to come out of the cat carrier.

10min later Hermione left to go to the bathroom. Neville was asleep and the others were so deep into their conversation that they didn't even notice her go. As she made her way down the isle she mulled over the new spells she had learned in the holidays. Suddenly she bumped into something, or someone as it turned out. "Aaaaahh, if it isn't the little mudblood, come to tell me that your cat feels a bit sluggish? Hahaha" Malfoy chortled at his own stupid joke. "If I squash him he'll just be slimeshanks! Hahaha" HeheheheSlimeshanks! –Author laughs at mental image of furry slime with whiskers

At this point Hermione just snapped. No rational thought – she just saw red. "Right, that does it, that does it! I've had enough of your crap!"She snarled as she pulled out her wand from her cloak.

Malfoy looked slightly panicked "What are you- "But it was to late, before he could stop her, she was mumbling a spell.

"Let's see how you like being a cat! Felus catisempra, comorue humano, parle avec moi, sajanke monde...(she did a complicated little movement with her wand) she then pointed her wand straight at Malfoy.A bright light engulfed Malfoy and before her eyes he changed shape.

When Hermione looked again Malfoy was gone. In his place was a cat. It looked quite normal- it had whiskers, a long tail and slate blue eyes (a color rather unusual in cats but still not that special) But the special thing about him was his color. His fur was smooth and snow white. This made his eyes stand out even more.

"Wha...whats going on?" the cat asked in a shaky voice." You, my dear Malfoy, are a cat! Hermione said with a grin.

Malfoy looked at himself in shock."I'm a...a ...a cat?"he yelped.

" Yup, and I'm the only one that can understand you or change you back."the triumphant look left her face."Uh-oh, I guess I'm the one that's gonna have to look after you then..."

"Are you crazy, woman? Turn me back this instant!" Malfoy insisted.

"No can do!"( errr..what was the spell to turn him back again? Hermione couldn't remember. Oh well, I'll look it up later, she thought to herself.) "Nobody's going to recognize you, so you might as well come with me," she declared. When he still looked undecided (cats do have expressions you know), she added "Don't worry I won't let the others harm you, although I should! But seeing as you're so defenseless now..." Draco silently fumed as he followed her, neatly stepping over the clothes which he did not need as a cat. The nerve! A Malfoy turned into a household pet!

As Hermione walked back into her compartment,she announced "Look what I found!I think I'll keep him 'cos he seems to be a stray. Isn't he sweet!"

Malfoy walked in ,tail held high. " Sweet!" he sniffed "I am handsome and elegant not , sweet!And I am definitely not a stray!"

"Aaaawww, isn't he adorable" Ginny said, running over to pet him. But Malfoy avoided her by quickly jumping onto the seat next to Hermione."Hands off!" he snarled." "Better Granger than a Weasel,"

"Sorry Ginny, I think he has had some bad experiences in his life."Hermione said. Granger doesn't know how true that is,Malfoy thought to himself.

"But I wonder how he got on the train,"Neville squeaked.

"Well I sure didn't fly here, Longbottem" Malfoy sniffed.

"I think he must be a magical cat" Hermione said slowly" although I haven't seen him doing anything worth mentioning ,"Hermione added this last bit with a smirk.

"Ha ha, aren't you funny." Malfoy replied sarcastically.

Harry looked on curiously," You sure it's not a female? It seems to be putting on a lot of feminine airs!"

"WHAT? How dare you! I'll scratch out your eyes! I'll-"Malfoy tried to launch himself at Harry but found that he was being held down. He struggled and scratched but Hermione held him firmly. "Lemme at him!"

"Now calm yourself, I'm sure Harry didn't mean it."Hermione said "Now Harry, take my word for it, this is definitely a male Author wonders if she should add 'smirks knowingly' but then remembers that Hermione still hates Malfoy at this point. "She added as she turned towards Harry, still holding the struggling Malfoy down. (While everybody was talking about Hermiones new cat, nobody noticed Ginny slip out of the compartment silently)

"Fine! Whatever!" Malfoy turned his back on Harry sulkily and decided to take a catnap.

" That's right, just take a little nap," Hermione said, automatically stroking him as she usually did with Crookshanks. Malfoy was about to tell her to stop when he thought to himself: this isn't so bad...she's got nice hands...I'll tell her to stop later...And he fell asleep.
