Granger ResidenceHarry, still in his feline form was following Hermione to school. He'd seen other students bullying her before, and as her pet he therefore had to protect her. After a quick scan of the area and noticing nothing that could harm her, he waited outside the building for lunch break.

At lunch, Claws' attention was grabbed when he overheard some children talking about Hermione.

"How are we going to get the Know-It-All this time?"

"Lets get some buckets of water and splash her after-school. That should prevent her sending teachers after us."

Immediately, Claws knew he needed to warn her. He ran to her and got her attention.

"Claws? What are you doing here?"

Claws concentrated on getting the warning across.

'Some of the students are going to try and soak you on the way home!'

Hermione was startled at the sudden voice in her head.

"Claws? Did you do that?"

'Yes, I did now are you going to listen to my warning?'

"But how can you talk in my head? And can you teach me too?"

'I'll teach you if and only if you listen to the warning. Deal?'"Deal"

'You have to focus on getting the other person to hear. I think. This is the first time I've done it'"Have you done other things like this before?"

'Yes, Three months ago I turned into a cat.'"Wait, are you not really a cat?"

'I'm actually a human called Harry Potter.'

"Nice to meet you, Harry."

'You are welcome, Hermione. It goes without saying that you must keep what I really am a secret, so please continue to call me Claws. Though, If you can help restore me to human form I'll try to teach you how to change into a cat too.'"Thanks, Claws, I'll see you after school. Bye!"

'bye'

The bullies went along with their plan, but with the prior warning, Hermione avoided getting wet. She got home quickly and soon started on her homework, Claws contributing every now and again.

After her homework was finished, Hermione started with trying to help Claws regain his human form.

"What did you do to become a cat in the first place?"

'I told you, I'm only telling you that after I regain my human form.'

"I was thinking, If you did what you did to become a cat again, but in reverse, maybe it will make you human?"

'Oh, I didn't think of that. What I did was concentrate really hard on being a cat and tada! Instant cat! So maybe if I concentrate on being human...'

There was a loud Pop and suddenly the Cat was replaced by skinny black haired boy.

"Hey, It worked! Thanks Hermione!"

The boy hugged the girl, before popping back into a cat.

'Now to teach you how to do it...'
