I do not own Harry Potter. I only own Tiffani.

Story Start

At least today I wasn't confined to Severus' desk during the whole lesson. I did enjoy walking around the room and looking and smelling different things. I stayed away from the students as much as I could though because I had a feeling he would stick me back on his desk if I bothered them. I didn't want to be a distraction, especially since some of their cauldrons were bubbling in a scary way. I didn't feel like being turned into something other than a cat or worse.

I tried to figure out how I could explain to Severus that I'm actually a human stuck inside this cat body now, but nothing was really coming to mind. I could try to grab a pen and use my paws to hold it and write with it, but I doubted that would work really well. Maybe if I could spill some ink, I could use it to spell out my name with just my paws but then I would have black paws. I would also probably make him mad since I would most likely spill ink on a table or the floor.

"This is difficult," I meowed and put my paws over my face since I had made my way over to a corner of the room. Classes were going by faster than I thought so I must have fallen asleep for a nap. "Cat nap," I thought and chuckled at my own corniness. I lifted up my head from my paws and looked to see the students leaving again and Severus was using magic to clean the chalkboard. I stood up and stretched when he turned towards me.

"Lady, it's lunch," was all he needed to say and I happily started walking to the door of the classroom. He chuckled when I meowed loudly when he picked me up and carried me through the secret way to get to the head table of professors again.

He set me on the table when we entered the dining hall. I happily ate the food quickly because I wanted to wander around the room some. He became involved in a heated discussion with one of the other professors. I walked to the edge of the table and quickly jumped down when no one was looking. I looked at the four long tables and decided to go over to the table with the students that had the green serpent patch on their robes.

"It's Professor Snape's cat," I heard one of the students whisper when I walked closer to the table. I stopped walking and noticed a group of students looking at me. One of the students had platinum blonde hair. It was so bright, it was almost white.

"Draco, is the cat friendly?" one of the girls around the boy with bright hair asked him.

"I guess we'll find out," he said and next thing I know his hands are coming towards me.

"Please don't hurt me," I thought and decided to maybe trust the teenager. He gently picked me up and set me on the table. I couldn't help the sigh that escaped me when I was safe on the table. "Good teenager," I said but it came out as a purr and he chuckled before scratching behind my ears and then my neck.

"It seems she's friendly," Draco said and he kept petting my back as one of the girls around him reached out and pet me too. "I wonder why he finally got a familiar. He's never had one before," Draco said and he stopped petting me. I noticed he went back to eating some kind of chicken dish, which smelled amazing. He noticed my staring and tore off a little piece of the chicken. "Favorite student at this castle," I thought as I happily ate the chicken.

I continued to enjoy little bites of chicken from the students as they talked about Severus and why he now had a familiar. I wasn't too knowledgeable about familiars since I knew nothing about magic, but I could only guess it was another word for a pet. My enjoyment of being pampered with chicken was cut short when I saw Severus approaching the table. I knew he had spotted me because he was staring me down.

"It seems your lunch has been disturbed," Severus said and he seemed a bit surprised that the students told him that I was no bother at all.

"Your familiar is very sweet, Professor Snape," one of the girls said and I purred happily when she pet my head.

"Well the bell is about to ring, finish your lunch so you will not be starving later," Severus told the students, who seemed happy with his words. He then looked at me again and he smirked when I just meowed at him. I was asking him what he wanted, but he couldn't understand that. "It's time for classes, Lady," he said and held out his hands.

Some of the students chuckled when I jumped past his hands and ran up his arm to his shoulder. I liked sitting on his shoulder. He was a tall man. I mean I was about 5'8" as a human, but he was definitely a good head taller than me. He looked over at me and rolled his eyes when I purred and nuzzled his face. He left the student table and walked down the secret teacher way to get back to his classroom. I jumped off his shoulder and onto a clean shelf so I could take a nap during classes. I had way too much chicken from the students at lunch.

Students started entering the classroom a few moments after the bells sounded through the castle. I noticed a few students point at me but Severus quickly got their attention on the chalkboard for their next potion.

"How am I going to tell him I'm not a cat?" was my final thought before my nap.
