Draco POV
My body felt like lead as I drug it up to the front door of my modest two story house. Even though nothing strenuous happened at the club that night I still felt drained from all the boredom. Stifling a yawn I walked into the house to see my godfather, who was kind enough to let us live with him after the death of our parents, sitting on the couch. The way his face was consorted into a face of pure hatred would make any normal man piss themselves, but to me it is a normal occurrence. His clothes were impeccable as usual and most notably the work of Blaise's company. Though I find Blaise's work to be boorish and would rather be traipsing around in garbage. I hoped to sneak around him and go up the stairs for some much needed sleep, but instead I stepped on a squeaky ball left behind by my annoying bothers.
I heard my godfather sigh around his cup of tea before he looked up from the paperwork he was reviewing.
"Why do you constantly have to disappoint me Draco? I know it is hard for you to show some sort of intelligence in the presence of you betters but would it kill you to show a little tact." I saw the right side of his mouth up turn into a half smile to let me know he was in a playful mood.
"Well it's your lucky day Severus seeing as I don't see anyone that meets that description here." I heard what could be considered a laugh before it was covered with badly placed coughs.
"On a more serious note I want you to prepare yourself for the party later today you know what it means to turn 18."
"Yes yes I remember you have drilled it into my head every since I could produce intelligent speech." On the 18th birthday of any pack member a celebration was held where the Alpha will decide what your place shall be in the pack. All my actions up this point will decide heavily on the placement which my godfather has reminded me of constantly for 5 years.
"Well I wouldn't say intelligent." he then turned back to reading his documents signaling to me that the conversation was over.
Finally now I can go to bed and forget about how much my life is going to change in a few short hours.
Harry POV
Comfort, warmth and silence were the first things my mind registered upon waking up. I have never experience such sensations before and though I quite liked them it was quite scary. Slowly I opened my eyes only to become face to face with what looked like a rather large pink unicorn plushy. Where am I? When I feel asleep I was in a box in a cold alleyway not far from my uncle's place. Now I am a California king sized bed surrounded by silk draped pillows and enormous plushies. Lifting my eyes from the bed I looked around the room to take in the rest of my surroundings. On the walls there were pictures of fashion icons and displays of fine art, but I noticed that the room didn't contain any windows. It is strange to have a room that gives such warmth and comfort but at the same time feel like a prison. It also contained elegant furnishings such as leather couches and a warm fire place. I think I would like to stay in this room even if it were a prison anything is better than a broom closet. Though I should be trying to find a way out I find that it is really difficult to combat my neko instincts and not fall back asleep.
"Master wishes for me to give you a special bath" said a very small shy sounding voice.
Startled I fell out of the bed with a thump and quickly peeked over a white bunny plushy to see a where the voice came from. To my surprise it was a neko boy in a really revealing maid's uniform carrying a fluffy pink towel and a scrub brush. The boy had similar hair to mine, but lighter and a very pale complexion. My tail curled around my leg as I watch him go into another room and heard the rush of the bath water filling the empty tub. I was startled out of my musings when the boy reentered the room and started to walk closer to me. Scared of what he might do with me I quickly scrambled back into the corner near the bed to put more distance between us. I was trapped as I watched the boy getting closer, but all I could do was watch with scared eyes.
"Don't be scared I won't hurt you so please come into the bath willingly. If you don't I will have to get master and he won't be gentle." The boy said as he down on his stalking covered knees and reaching with me with his dainty hand.
"…okay." I whispered agreeing with the boys request in fear of what his master might do to me. The boy smiled at me beautifully as he took my hand and helped me up off the floor.
"By the way I am Neville. What is your name?" He said as he led me into the small bathroom. The neko boy seemed nice so it wouldn't be so bad to give him my name.
"Harry." He smiled at me again as he slowly pushed me toward the already half full tub. I was startled when I felt small hands start to take of my sweater, but I was too frightened to fight against him.
"Well Harry since it seems you don't know how to remove your clothes let me help you with that okay!" he said finishing taking of my sweater and starting with my jeans. Really this guy is nice, but kind of strange. Not comfortable with being naked around stranger I used my tail to cover myself up. Since the water was high enough Neville turned away from me to bend over to turn the faucet off.
"The water is nice and water for you OHHhh" I turn to look at him to see that he slipped a little on some fallen water hitching his skirt even higher letting me see his black thong. Embarrassed I covered my eyes with my hands hoping he didn't see my blush.
"Ohh how clumsy of me! That could have been dangerous." Brushing himself off he turned back to me and grabbed one of the hands covering my face and pushed me into the tub. I looked up at him as he went over to the counter to grab a white jar and began spilling its contents into my bath water. The smilingly innocent purple power turned my bath water a lime green color and my skin started to tingle. Neville must have seen my shocked face and started to laugh at me.
"You should see yourself you look like a drown kitty! And don't worry about this stuff it helps heal your bruises and wounds." I gave him what I thought was a scary glare before staring back down at the water with wonder. I can't remember a moment when I was not in pain and covered head to toe in bruises. I wanted to express to him how great full I was, but I am not good at showing emotions.
"Let's start with your hair first then we can get to that body of yours" he said as he winked at me and put his soapy hands into my rat nest of hair. His nails felt really good on scalp making it really difficult not to let out purrs. I was torn out of my pleasure filled thoughts when the hands disappeared and in its place a torrent of water. I hissed a little with displeasure and choked a little when some of the water got into my mouth.
"Now we can start on your body." Quickly he started to scrub at my body making it seem only like seconds before he was pulling me out of the tub and wrapping the pink towel around my body. Another smaller towel was placed on my head to cover my hair so that I didn't drip excess water on the floor. He smiled at me once more as he grabbed my hand and led me to the couches to sit down next to him.
"Now we wait for master!"
My heart started speeding up as I heard footsteps and distance voices getting closer to the door.
