Author's Notes: I originally had this written as a short story to this series, but I went ahead and added it as a Chapter in this story. Hope you like it!

Chapter 15: Polyjuice Potion

Harry gently opened the stall door. "Hermione, are you okay?"

Hermione began turning around slowly as she said, "You remember me telling you that the potion was only for human transformations."

.

Both Harry and Ron were stunned. Hermione was a cat!

"Look at my face." Hermione said, sadly.

"Look at your tail!" Ron said, smiling.

Behind him, Myrtle was laughing.

"We can always take you to the Hospital. Madame Pomfrey may be able to help." Harry suggested.

Hermione sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. McGonagall was going to kill her if she found out what they did. She ended up shaking her head.

"We can get into so much, Harry!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Well we can't just leave you like this." Harry said.

"Just go get Madame Pomfrey. I am not walking down there looking like this!"

"Come on, Ron." Harry said.

As the boys headed down the corridor, they stumbled into someone. More of Ron bumped right into him.

"Watch where you are going, Weasley!" Snape said, coldly.

Ron's eyes went wide in shock and fear.

"Ah Harry, Ron, have you two seen my daughter?" Dumbledore asked, walking up to them.

Hermione sighed as she was still a cat. She felt her ears begin to itch so she tried to scratch them, but her paws were making it harder for her. She turned her head when she heard footsteps approaching. That was when she saw Dumbledore and Snape. Harry and Ron were right behind them.

"Hermione, sweet pea, what happened?" Dumbledore asked.

Hermione looked away. Snape already picked up on the scent in the room. Being the Potions Master, he could pick up on the smell of a potion quite easily.

"Polyjuice Potion." Snape said.

Dumbledore took a few steps forward as Hermione backed up. He held up his hands.

"Easy Hermione." Dumbledore said, calmly.

"I am so sorry, sir! I was just trying to help. We…."

Hermione paused as she felt someone scratch her ears. It was Dumbledore! All of a sudden she began purring. The expression of contentment was on her face.

"Harry, Ron, why don't you two head back to the common room. Severus and I will take it from here." Dumbledore said.

Hermione was glad that she was no longer a cat. Although the scratch behind the ears was quite lovely. She was still coughing up hairballs though.

"Are you feeling better, my dear?" Snape asked as he sat down on the edge of her bed.

"Yes I am. Thank you sir." Hermione said, smiling.

"You want to tell me why you wanted to brew Polyjuice Potion?" Snape asked.

Hermione shook her head.

"This wouldn't have to do with the Heir of Slytherin, would it?"

Hermione looked away. Snape sighed. He placed a hand on Hermione's cheek to have her look at him. She was originally born with black hair and green eyes. However, to hide who she really was they used spells and potions to change her appearance. When she became a Dumbledore again, she asked to keep her brown hair. She wanted the green eyes though. The same green eyes as McGonagall.

"Hermione, you are only 12, you shouldn't be putting yourself into this much danger, my dear." Snape said.

"I am scared, Professor." Hermione admitted.

"Let us adults handle this. You just focus on being an insufferable know-it-all, okay?"

Hermione glared at Snape who just smirked at her. She couldn't help the smile that formed.

"Yes sir."
