'Thoughts'

[Kitten speech]


New School Year

It was finally time for the boys to go back to school. They were both excited and a little nervous. Their nerves were due to meeting new people. Last year Alexa took offense to Harry, even though she had been under a few spells. They hoped that they were able to get along with their new house mates this year.

"Well, I'm sure I didn't forget anything." Neville said

"Me too." Harry said after a few minutes.

"Good." He smiled.

"Yup!" He smiled back.
"Let's get going then." He said.

"Okay!" The neko said.

The two went to the living room. Everyone was there so see them off. They all hugged the two boys goodbye before Alice took them to the bank. Once more Professor Gladius was there. He smiled at them both.

"It's good to see you both again." The elf said.

"You too, professor." The two smiled.

"Ready?" He asked them.

"I am." Harry said,

"So am I" Neville chimed in a few seconds later.

"Good. Let's go." He said.

"Okay!" The two said.
"Bye mum." Neville said, still amazed that he was able to say that.

"Bye sweetie." She hugged him. "I love you."
"Bye aunt Alice." Harry said.
"Bye Harry." She hugged him next. 'I just wish Lily and James were here for this.' She thought sadly.
Alice left after that and the boys grabbed the portkey their professor was holding. They were soon at the school. Professor Gladius handed Harry a potion, which the neko gladly drank.

"Thank you sir."
"You're welcome." He smiled at him.
"That's so much better." Harry said.

"Good. Are you ready?" He asked.
"I am." He said.

"Great. Let's get you to your new dorm to settle in." He said.

"Okay." The boys said.
"I'm so glad that you two are so easy." He sighed.
"What?" They looked at him in confusion.

"I said that outloud, didn't I?" He wanted to smack himself.

"You did." Harry said.

"Yup!" Neville said.

"Of course I did." He groaned.

"Is everything okay?" The fairy asked.

"The new batch of first years include Cheshires, imps, and kitsunes." He told them.

"Oh." The two said.
"That is a lot of mischievous creatures." Harry said.

"Indeed." He agreed.
"I'm sorry professor." Neville said.

"Don't be. It's not your fault." He smiled at the fairy. "Now let's get you to your rooms."

"Okay." They said.

Third years were known as the animal year. Their years were based on animals. It was no surprise that Harry and Neville were sorted into the feline house. They were both happy that they were once more in the same house.

"Here we are. Your RA will be Catherine Dusk." He informed them.
"Okay!" The two said before entering the dorm.

Harry and Neville quickly found their room. Once they entered they began putting their things away. Just like the last two years the bedroom was the same. They then waited for the RA to arrive. She did about a few minutes later.

Catherine looked very human. She had long red hair and blue eyes. She was pale and covered in freckles. She was wearing the school uniform only instead of the skirt she was wearing slacks. On her vest was a white question mark, a magnifying glass, and a wand. She was an apprentice for the magical investigation professor.

"Greetings." Catherine said in a monotone voice. "I am Catherine Dusk. I am an RA and a Magical Investigator Apprentice. Please follow me." She said.

"Okay." The two said.
Soon the third years from the feline house were gathered and the RA took them to the dining hall. Catherine waited until everyone had food on their plate. She then stood up and looked at them all. She had no emotion on her face.

"As you all know I am Catherin Dusk. I am an RA and a Magical Investigator apprentice. I am human." She said before sitting down. "You're next." She said to the girl next to her.

"Hello. I am Lola Summers. I am human as well." She waved. "Hi Neville, Harry." She was so happy to finally see them in person.

"Hi Lola." They were just as happy.

Lola sat down and her roommate stood up. "Hello. I am Samantha Base. I am an white were-lion." She introduced herself.

Samantha had short white hair and skin. Her eyes were a light blue with flecks of amber. She was petite but built for speed and strength. She smiled before sitting back down. Neville stood up next.

"Good morning. I am Neville Longbottom. I am a flora fairy." He introduced.
"Nice to meet you all. I am Harry Potter and I am a neko." Harry told them.

"Hi. I am Archibald Fair and I am a poison demon and a were-tiger." He introduced himself.

Archibald was a dark purple with acid green hair. He had amber colored eyes. In the middle of his head was a dark purple horn. He had three tails coming from his back. They were the same color as his hair. He was the tallest of the bunch and smelled like poison.

"I am Gilbert Fair. I am also a poison demon and were-tiger." He looked just like his twin.

"I am Dawn Curious." The girl next to the twins introduced herself. "I am a cat demon."

Dawn had silver-blue fur. She had no visible skin. Her eyes were a bright green. Her tail and ears were the same color as her fur. She also had whiskers and cat-like teeth.
"I hope that we can all get along and if not please no fighting. I will not tolerate it." Catherine said. "Mr. Potter?"

"Yes?" He looked at her.
"Please come to me if any student gives you trouble." She said.

"Yes ma'am." He said.

"Good. Now let's finish eating." She said.

"Okay."

"ENOUGH!" One person yelled from across the dining hall, gaining everyone's attention.

"What?" A light gray girl looked very confused.
"You are bullying another student and I will not have it." Amanda Birch sternly said.
"But it's Alexa-"

"I don't care who it is. I understand what she has done but that is no excuse to bully her."

"But-"

"I mean it." She practically hissed.

"Yes ma'am." She sulked.

"She's back." Samantha groaned.

"Yes she is." Dawn glared.

"Children." Catherine warned.

"I don't plan on bullying her ma'am." Dawn said. "I'm just preparing for her rude comments."

"So am I." Samantha sighed.

"You will be punished if you bully her and she will be punished if she bullies." Catherine promised.

"Yes ma'am." The two said.

"Good." She said.


(With Alexa)

'Not again.' Alexa internally groaned.

"Alexa." Her roommate sneered.

"Hello Claire." She greeted her.

"We need you to get out." She told her.

"Okay." She didn't even fight it.

"What?" Her roommate and her friends were shocked.

"I said okay." She grabbed her things and left.

"What just happened?" She heard Claire ask.

Alexa shook her head sadly. No one was giving her a chance. She didn't blame them. She had been really awful to most of them. Still it would be nice if they knew the truth. The reason she wasn't going to say anything was that she felt like she deserved it.

The neko went to the library. She figured she would get a head start on her homework and then if there was time she would study. She would do this until dinner and then she would go to bed. Too bad the other students had other plans.

"What are you doing here?" Another student sneered.

"Homework." She answered.

"Not while I am here."

"That's enough." Harry said.
"E-excuse me?" The girl was shocked.

"Alexa has every right to do her homework here." He told her.

"You're defending her after how she treated you last year?" She said in shock.

'Why is he defending me?' Alexa wondered.

"I am." He said.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because she apologized to me and has yet to be a jerk. So far you are the jerk here." The neko told her.
"What?" That pissed her off.

"What is going on here?" The librarian assistant asked.

"Kelsie is bullying Alexa." Kelsie's friend said.

"Cherry!?" The girl was shocked.

"You were." She shrugged.

"What about Mr Potter?" She asked.

"He was defending her."

"I see." She was pleased by that.

"Traitor." Kelsie hissed.

"Enough." The assistant barely refrained from rolling her eyes. "Let's go."

"Yes ma'am." She grumbled before standing and following the woman out.

"Thank you Harry." Alexa said. "Thank you Cherry."

"You're welcome." The two said.

"I have to get back to my group." Harry said.

"I have to get back to my homework." Cherry said.

The two left and Alexa quietly. Kelsie was punished for her bullying ways and she left Alexa alone. After that no one bothered Alexa.
