Chapter Fifteen – Ginny Learns The Truth

Ginny felt her body become lose again. She slowly gained control of her body and began to move into a sitting position. Dumbledore sat in his chair silently and watched the red cat, wondering who it could be trapped under the red fur.

Truly wanting to be back in her human body Ginny jumped off the desk and ran to the door. Thinking the cat was trying to escape Dumbledore slammed the door shut, leaving Ginny no timed to stop. With a loud thud she crashed into the door.

"Damn!" Ginny cursed. Almost instantly a bump began to form upon her tiny head.

Wanting to get over with the night that was sure to be long, Dumbledore picked up the cat and started to the informatory. There he would put together a potion that would show the true identity of the cat in his arms.

Seeing Harry was awake he stopped and asked him about his current conditions.

"Harry, we have found out what is wrong and will be able to fix it before the week is over."

Harry wasn't listening though. He noticed a red cat in the headmaster's arms and knew right away it was Ginny.

'How the hell did she get out?' He asked.

An angry voice rang threw Harry's head and said, 'Because you didn't close the damn door.'

"Are you listening Harry?"

"Sorry Sir, but I couldn't help but notice the cat in your arms. What is wrong with it?"

"I believe this cat is a human who has been forced into another body." As a look of panic spread across Harry's face he said, "I must make a simple potion to see who it is."

Not wanting Ginny to be discovered Harry said quickly, "I can watch her Sir while you make the potion."

"That would be much appreciated Harry."

Dumbledore lightly tossed the cat on the bed and left the informatory. Once he was out of sight Harry grabbed the cat around the middle and pulled her to him.

A voice filled Harry's head and he became blissfully ignorant. Not thinking about what his body was doing Harry took the struggling cat and wrapped his hand around her neck. When the voice told him to squeeze hard he did.

Ginny freaked out as Harry strangled her. His eyes seamed to have glazed over and his body seemed to be functioning on its own.

"Harry, please stop." Ginny meowed.

Appearing not to hear her he continued to choke her. Becoming desperate Ginny took her razor sharp claws and cut open his hand, letting blood flow down them. It was then that Harry began to come back to earth. The glossy look that use to cover his eyes had disappeared.

He looked down to see himself strangling Ginny and gasped.

He released her and began to apologies.

"I am so sorry," he began. Tears started to slip down his face and blurred his vision. Ginny had to admit that his behavior was shocking. One minute he was about to kill her and now he was crying.

"I never meant to harm you. Its him, he is making me do it."

Cocking her head to the side to show her confusion he told her who 'he' was.

"Its, him, Ginny. Malfoy."

Ginny hissed and thought, "How could he accuse Draco of this when he himself is a cat too!"

"Not Draco," he sobbed. "Its-"

"Lucius." She said, feeling her temper start to rise. "That ass is going to pay!"

At that moment Dumbledore walked in to see a crying Harry with bleeding hands and a distressed cat. Assuming the cat had attack Harry Dumbledore pulled it off the bed and took it to another. After securing the cat in ropes he came to Harry's side to find out what happened.

"Sir, it wasn't the cats fault. He was back," Harry paused before uttering, "He made me choke her."

"How did you know it was a she Harry?"

When Harry didn't answer he persisted. "This is very important Harry. How do you know?"

Looking ashamed Harry confessed that he had been under control while changing her into a cat.

"That's Ginny." Harry muttered.
