'Thoughts'

[Kitten speech]

Cat Form

The next morning Harry was awoken by an owl. He noticed that it was Angel, Lucas' owl. She had been hooting to wake him up. He stretched out before he stood and grabbed the letter. Once he grabbed the letter Angel flew off to go give the other to Fay.

Harry on the other hand placed the note on the table before he began playing with toys. One of Fay's rules was to stay in the bedroom until she came to get him. Then she would bathe him and then get him his clothes before going to breakfast.

Meanwhile Fay was awoken by Angel as well. She glared as the owl took off once the letter was removed. She quickly opened it and read the contents.

Dear Mother

I have received the letter from Harry and I am glad that he is making friends. It is great that he is going to have a friend his own age. I was going to wait to visit after he settled in but I am going to visit sooner. May I come over tomorrow?

Love,

Lucas Davet

Fay shook her head. She told him before that he could come over whenever he wanted, yet he still asked if it was alright to come over. She knew that Harry would love it also.

The blonde wrote her response before she got ready for the day. Once she was showered and dressed she sent the letter and made her way to Harry's room.

Fay knocked on the door before she entered. Harry put away his toys before he handed Fay a letter. She opened and read the letter out loud to Harry.

Dear Harry,

I am happy to hear that you have made a friend. I will be visiting you soon. You can tell me all about it then. Have fun my sweet little kitten.

Love,

Lucas Davet

Harry smiled brightly as Fay read it. It may have been short but the promise of visiting was making him really happy. Fay directed Harry to the bathroom and began their routine.

The day dragged on for Harry who was excited about Lucas visiting the next day. Even when he was playing with Fay it felt long. She just smiled since she knew that he was excited and could tell by the way he continued to talk about Lucas.

(Next Morning)

Lucas arrived before Harry had a chance to wake up. He walked quietly to Harry's room and opened the door. He walked over to the bed that Harry was curled up on and sat down.

He placed a hand on Harry's head and rubbed his ears. "Time to wake up, Kitten."

Harry's eyes opened slowly and took in his surroundings. His eyes widened once he noticed Lucas.

"Lucas!" He shouted happily as he jumped into his mate's arms.

"Hello to you too." Lucas said laughing.

"Hi." The neko said as he snuggled into Lucas. His tail was swinging behind him fast in excitement.

"Why don't we get you bathed and dressed before we play, kay?" He handed Harry to his mom who had been at the doorway watching them.

"Okay." He said.

Soon Harry and Lucas were coloring while the child told Lucas about his day with Neville. The blonde was happy for his little mate.

"I'm a herbologist too." He told Harry.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yes." Harry ran to the bookcase and gave him a book before he cleaned up the table.

That was how Fay found them later on. Harry on Lucas' lap listening to Lucas explain the plants in the books. She smiled and took a picture. The flash caught Lucas' attention.

"Hello mom." He greeted her.

"Hello dear. It is time for breakfast." She informed them. 'I should start Harry on his French lessons soon.'

"Okay Fay." Harry put the book away before he grabbed Lucas' hand and they began walking to the dining room.

"Lucas, I have a meeting and since you are here would you mind watching him for a few hours?" She asked.

"Of course I don't mind watching him." He said. 'Just means extra time with him.'

"Good." They ate listening to Harry babble about his new friend.

Soon Fay left for her meeting while Lucas took Harry outside to play in the garden. Fay arrived in her study just as Kippy showed professor Mcgonagall in.

"Good morning professor. I am Lady Fay Davet." She introduced herself.

"Good morning Lady Davet. I am professor McGonagall." The other woman said.

"I know. You wanted to talk about Harry's schooling?" She asked. 'I still think I should send him to another school.'

"Yes."

(With Harry and Lucas)

Lucas was sitting on the ground shocked and amazed. A second before Harry had caught sight of a butterfly and next thing Lucas knew Harry changed into a kitten. The kitten was midnight black with emerald green eyes.

Of course he knew that nekos had two forms. They had a half human half cat form and a cat form. Since Harry wasn't born a neko he didn't think that Harry was going to change into his cat form anytime soon. He assumed it would take practice for him to be able to shift.

'Must be an instinct to change their forms.' Lucas thought as Harry jumped to catch the butterfly. 'I'm going to search our family library to see if there are any neko books there and if not then I will go into town to find some. I need to know what I can do to help him.'

The blonde herbologist was brought out of his thoughts when Harry pounced on him and changed his form back in mid-jump.

"Oomph." He said when the neko landed.

"Sorry." Harry said as he looked like he was about to cry.

"It's okay. You didn't mean it did you?" Harry shook his head quickly. "Then I'm not mad."

Harry nodded as he snuggled in. He butted his head against Lucas' chest causing him to chuckle and pet Harry's head.

"Can we write a letter to Severus?" He asked.

"Yes we can." He summoned papers, a quill and ink, as well as a hard surface to write on.

When they finished the letter they sent it off with Angel. They then started to play. Lucas had charmed a cat toy to move and Lucas watched as Harry chased it around the garden in his kitten form.

(With Severus Snape)

Severus was in his room grading papers when Angel arrived with a letter for him. He smiled when he noticed the child-like handwriting that belonged to Harry. He had to admit that he missed the child. He couldn't wait to see him at Yule. It was surprising that the child of his bully could worm his way into his heart so quickly.

Dear Severus,

Lucas is helping me write this. I made a new friend a couple days ago. His name is Neville Longbottom. He knows a lot about plants like Lucas does. I really miss you. I hope that I can see you soon.

Love,

Harry

P.S. Do you have any books on nekos? Before this letter Harry changed into his other form and I want to research more about them. -Lucas

The dark haired man quickly replied to Harry's letter before he grabbed a book and wrapped it for Lucas. He had been planning on sending the book to his friend after he finished grading. He sent these off with Shadow before he went back to grading.

(Davet manor)

Fay walked outside with professor McGonagall. They watched a kitten Harry chasing a mouse while Lucas laughed. She quickly got their attention after she took a few pictures. The professor was amused.

"Harry, would you be a dear and come meet a friend of your parents?" The French witch asked.

Harry shifted back and ran over to Fay with Lucas following close behind. The blonde wizard picked him up and Fay introduced them.

"Harry, this is professor Minerva McGonagall. She teaches transfiguration at Hogwarts. Transfiguration is changing one object into another." Harry shook the professor's hand. "Professor, this is Harry and my son Lucas."

"It is a pleasure to meet you both." The Scottish woman said.

"Hello." The neko greeted shyly.

"A pleasure to me you also." Lucas said.

"I have something that belonged to your father and something that belonged to your mother." She then gave Harry the items. "This necklace was given to your mum the day they found out that she was pregnant."

The necklace was beautiful. It was a heart shaped emerald on a silver chain. Both the chain and the emerald sparkled in the sun.

"This was a pocket watch that was given to heirs of the Potter line." The watch was gold and had a large P done with rubies on one side while the other had the Potter crest and motto. 'Good thing James had given them to me before he went into hiding.'

"Thank you." Harry said tearfully.

"You're welcome. I hope to see you soon. Goodbye." She turned and left.

Meanwhile Lucas had put the necklace on Harry. The pocket watch was sent to his room since it was too heavy to put into one of Harry's pockets.

"Time for lunch mistress, masters." Lexy, one of the head house elf, said.

"Thank you Lexy." They went back inside to eat lunch.

After lunch Harry went down for a nap and Lucas went to the library to hopefully find a book about nekos. He knew that there was a large chance that he wouldn't since there has never been a neko in the family before.

Shadow showed up with a book for him and a letter for Harry. He took both and unwrapped the book while the letter was placed into his pocket. Lucas grinned when he saw the book. History of Nekos by Adrian Wolf.

He sat down and began to read the book. He was so absorbed by the book that he never noticed a black kitten with green eyes and a necklace walk into the room and curl up near his feet.

According to the book nekos are very special creatures. They are one of the only creatures who do not die if their mate or mates die. They instead would lose their human side and spend the rest of their lives as cats.

Nekos are very territorial and possessive. If the neko is dominant they do not wear a collar and tend to always have their tail on their mate(s). A submissive neko wears a collar and when they become of age will call their dominant(s) master.

Dominant nekos are easily angered and moody while submissives are calm and shy. Both nekos have two forms. A half human and half cat form. They are born or, like in Harry's case, changed with this form. A few days after they will be able to change into their second form, their cat form.

Nekos also have the ability to use human magic. They have to be trained by another neko since neko can't use wands and are the only ones who know how nekos use magic.

Both also take on both human and feline personalities. The only time it is a complete feline personality is if they are in their feline form.

Lucas shut the book and stared at the fireplace. He didn't like the idea that Harry would wear a collar and call him master when he becomes of age. He was startled out of these thoughts when Harry jumped on his lap and fell back to sleep. He sighed and began petting his feline mate.

Lucas came to the conclusion that he was just going to have to live with it. He knew that there was no way to change it so instead he picked up the kitten and left the library to return him to his room before he went to talk to his mother.
