I do not own Harry Potter. I only own Tiffani.
Story Start
I put on the shirt first before pausing at the sight of the pants. I looked back at my brown cat tail, which was the same color as my hair, and then back to the pants. "This is a problem," I thought before making my way to the bedroom door. I opened it just enough to stick my head through and coughed to get the attention of Severus, who was now sitting in the armchair while Minerva was pacing the room.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I have a little problem. My tail won't fit comfortably in the pants so I was wondering, may I cut a hole in the pants for my tail to go through?" I asked quickly at the end since it was a bit embarrassing. Minerva stopped her pacing while Severus stood from his seat.
"It would be easier if I used a spell to cut the hole for you so the pants do not start having threads come loose," he said and motioned for me to hand him the pants through the door without showing myself.
"Thanks," I said and handed him the pants. I stepped back in the bedroom until I heard him say a spell and then pass me the pants back through the small opening in the doorway. I closed the door again and slipped the pants on around my ankles. I slowly pulled them up my legs and put my tail through the hole in the pants, which was actually the perfect size, and then I finished putting on the pants. I chuckled when the pants started sliding down my hips. I poked my head back through the doorway. "Sorry again, but I need a belt," I said and smiled at how awkward this whole situation was.
"Oh here," Minerva said and used magic to transfigured one of Severus' older quills that I saw him write with a lot into a belt. She handed me the belt with a gentle smile. "Here you go, dear," she said.
"Thanks, just a minute and I'll be done," I said and closed the door again to slip on and tighten the belt. I looked at the robe before shrugging and grabbing it before heading out to the living room where Minerva and Severus were still waiting. "Thanks again, this is still so crazy. One minute I'm on a vacation to London and then the next I'm a cat in a magic school. By the way, I have so many questions that I hope you can answer now that I'm part of this world," I said and took a seat by Severus, who was once again sitting on the couch.
"Well I need to get ready for my classes for the day, but I will be glad to speak with you at lunch. I will let Dumbledore know about Tiffani, have a good morning class, Severus," Minerva said and disappeared in the fireplace in green fire.
"That's still so strange," I muttered before feeling Severus staring at me. I looked over at him and saw him staring at me in a critical manner. "Do I look weird? I mean, I haven't even looked at myself yet," I muttered and ran a hand over my pointed ear and pulled some of my hair in front of it. I froze when I felt Severus' warm hand gently move my hand out of the way and he moved my hair behind my ear so he could gently run his finger on the point of my ear. A shiver raced down my spine and before I knew it, I was purring at the sensation. A bright red blush appeared on my face as I opened my eyes, which I didn't realize I had closed. Severus was now smirking at me and his face was a lot closer to mine.
"You look beautiful and do not think otherwise," he said in a soft voice and a small smile graced my face before I leaned back a bit.
"Thanks for letting me stay with you. I know that's not an easy thing to do since you really don't know me. You only know me as a cat," I said and played with my tail, which was curling around my waist.
"I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at first, but even when you were a cat, you saw me for the real me and yet you still accepted staying with me. You also helped me when I was hurting last night, so I look forward to getting to know you, Tiffani," he said and my heart seriously skipped a beat.
This man may scare the daylights out of his students but he was seriously tall, handsome, and mysterious. I felt the blush appear back on my cheeks as I smiled at the smirking Severus.
He stood from the couch and called for a house elf to bring me some breakfast. "I will be back after my morning classes so we can go to lunch together. I will happily introduce you to Dumbledore and if you would like, once you have gotten more comfortable transforming back and forth between forms, I will let you rejoin me in classes as Lady if you wish. You may also roam the castle in your human form whenever you want. You do not have to hide yourself here. However, I would prefer you be a cat during my classes so students will not bother you with questions," he explained and I appreciated his thoughts about me.
"Thanks, have a good class," I said and smiled when I saw actual breakfast food on the tray that the house elf appeared with. "Bacon," I cheered and happily grabbed a piece to enjoy. "No more fish and water," I grumbled while eating another piece of bacon before grabbing a piece of toast. "Now if only I had coffee," I mumbled before jumping in surprise when the house elf appeared again with a nice cup of coffee. "You're the best," I said to the elf before the elf disappeared. "Best, weird day ever," I cheered and took my first sip of coffee in so long. "I've missed you," I said and kissed the coffee mug.
