I own Harry Potter just about as much as I own the moon (and last time I checked, I didn't own it!) No copyright infringement intended, and no profit is being made from this story…
IMPORTANT A/N: Sorry about the REALLY late update. It really was not my fault. For some reason someone was looking at a website that had a lot of images on it, so we exceeded our 'downloading' limit. It wouldn't load ANY pages. Then at school the sever was logged and so it wouldn't work. tear So loads of sorry and now it begins. AND then they decided to make it work they had to reimage our computers. SO I lost EVERYTHING!! Life is soo hard! LOL

RECAP
"You can't take revenge on a person's child. He doesn't even know what he has done to deserve such hatred. It's a lesson you should learn, and learn it well."

Poppy made her way back to the hospital wing, thoughts weighing heavily on her mind.
' That poor boy. Everything always has to happen to him. I feel so bad for him. I don't think that I've ever had one child visit the Hospital Wing so many times in all the years that I have been here, the poor dear."
Poppy slowly opened the door, and made her way to Harry's bedside.
" Poppy, what is it? What is wrong with me?"
"Harry, dear, you are a Cattus Cattus."
"A Cattus Cattus, huh? Remus said I might be something like that…. What are they exactly?" Harry said, sort of worried.
"Well, Harry, Cattus Cattus are very rare creatures-
"Creatures?" Grimaced Harry.
"Yes, Harry, the Cattus Cattus are magical creatures, and are distant relatives to the Veela. They also are very rare. They must have very strong magical fields to completely manifest. I am not sure which parent was a Cattus Cattus, but we can always check in The Book of Records: Magical Creatures. It is a magical book which automatically updates itself whenever a magical creature, or anybody with creature blood is born. It will pin-point us to who in your family was a magical creature. It is kept in strict watch at the ministry, and only someone with magical creature blood can look at it."
"Poppy? May I say, that I am not looking forward to going to the Ministry of Magic looking like this."
" Oh, don't worry, dear, you won't have to. Eventually, you will be able to have control over your ears and tail, to the point that they will only come out when you are very emotional or your mate is near. However, you will soon find that your normal senses are enhancing. Have you noticed anything unusual lately?"
" Well now that you mention it, when I was walking over here, I could smell several smells that I hadn't smelled before. Also I can hear a lotbetter."
"Ah yes, those will only be the beginning. You will also be getting sharper, stronger, nails, stronger taste buds, and sharper sight. I dare say your sense of smell and hearing will be getting even stronger than what they are now. I will be having you come in weekly until the full "transformation" per say is complete."
" So, how long will it take for my full 'powers' to come out?" Harry asked.
" Well I am not sure… It usually depends on the strength of the magic. Also it depends on the actual strength of the Cattus Cattus. Not much is actually known about Cattus Cattus, since they are so rare. I dare say, that if you were to go to the Ministry of Magic as is, there would be quite a bit of commotion. I don't believe that there has been a full-fledged Cattus Cattus in the last hundred or so years…"
" ONE HUNDRED YEARS??" Harry screeched.
"Yes, Harry dear, one hundred years. Now may I please continue?" Poppy asked
"Now lets' see.. Where was I.. Oh yes.. Retracting the ears… Okay for this to work you are going to have to calm down, dear" Poppy chuckled. "Now concentrate on a thought of yourself without the ears, tail, etc. After a while it should just come naturally. Come here in front of this mirror… It will help you see what happens when you finish transforming, and let you see what traits you will have even when the obvious cat-like traits are gone.
Harry closed his eyes, trying to remember what he had looked like before the whole fiasco had started. He realized that he never really looked too much at himself before. Yeah, he saw the scar, the messy hair, green eyes, etc. but never had he really studied himself before. He imagined himself then, the hair and the scar and before he realized what was going on, he felt an odd tingling sensation. It felt like his whole body had gone to sleep. When he felt the tingling stop, he looked in the mirror. What he saw amazed him.
He had to be at least a foot taller than he had been last night. His hair was longer, and his eyes (if he looked close enough) seemed greener, brighter, and his pupils were slitted. When he went to look closer, he also saw that his hair had changed colors. It was now streaked with browns and reds. Also his finger nails were rather quite longer than what he thought was normal, even though he had the habit of biting them. On the upside, his tail and ears were gone.
'Very good, Harry!' he heard from behind. He was surprised, and turned rapidly around, a hiss escaping from his mouth.
"Harry! It's okay, it's just me…" Harry saw Poppy and immediately relaxed. "You may want to work on your control, though, look in the mirror, Harry."
Harry turned and the image in the made him groan. He was part cat again.
A/N AGAIN : Sorry about the long update but I couldn't do squat without my computer. I know this may be a little short but I promise longer updates soon!! I am already working on an outline for the next chapter.
R&R please it makes me smile !
