Harry Potter and the Life of A Neko

Written by Shadowkat87

A/N: i had this idea after reading a few of the Cat-girl/neko stories I found. Hope you like it. This story is also a combination of two challenges form whitetigerwolf and storywriter21. Please read and review. Oh and I don't want to read any reviews about this story being crappy or no good if you don't like it no one is forcing you to read it. I'll take constructive criticism comments though. You'll notice that either challenges are similar except for one or two differences that's why I combined them into one story.

Challenge 2: Cat Girls – Storywriter21

(Accepted)

Luckily, Harry and Hermione, are soul mates and form a soul bond, allowing them to get along very well, but they now share a destiny, and must take the challenges of every year together, including fighting Voldemort and the Triwizard Tournament they are both entered in, all while being part cat part girl and the difficulties to go along with that.

Chapter 1

The Beginning of a new life

Second year Harry James Potter was pacing outside the school's hospital wing. He was waiting for Madam Pomfrey; the schools nurse to come out and tell him he could see his friend. He has been waiting for the past two hours. He brought his friend to see the nurse after a potion accident. He tried to get his other friend Ron Weasley to help but he refused to which caused them to argue for 45 minutes. So, after picking up Hermione's and his school bags he Told her to put his invisibility cloak on and they headed off to the nurse's office which took them another 45 minutes because of them slow walking so they would not bump into others or be heard.

After their failed trip to the Slytherin common room they returned to the girl's unoccupied restroom on the second floor. After returning Harry and Ron knew why Hermione did not go with them the Polyjuice potion backfired on her when she used cat hair instead of human hair. She looked like a cross between a young girl and a honey-brown cat with furry ears and tail. After calming her down and getting Ron to stop teasing her and myrtle to stop laughing he got her to agree to go to the hospital wing to see if Madam Pomfrey could help her. As soon as he got her there Madam Pomfrey saw Hermione she told her to get into one of the beds and asked him if it was a failed Animagus transformation or Polyjuice accident.

He replied with Polyjuice but before he could say anything else she booted him out of the hospital wing.

So here he was waiting to see if she was ok that's when he heard footsteps coming up to him thinking it was Madam Pomfrey. He turned around to see Ron coming towards him.

"Hey Harry" Ron's voice called out loudly.

"There you are, mate!" Ron said, "Been looking all over for you. What are you still doing here?"

"I'm waiting until Madam Pomfrey allows me in to see Hermione" Harry said.

"Harry, she'll be fine! Madam Pomfrey will have her back to normal in no time" Scoffed Ron as he rolled his eyes.

"Madam Pomfrey looked quite worried about her, Ron" Harry said.

"That just what Madam Pomfrey does!" Ron said waving his hand dismissively. "Come on lets go up to the common room and we can play a game of chess or something. You can see Hermione later."

"No, thank you Ron you can go find someone else, I'm waiting right here till I can see her" said Harry.

"Come on Harry you got to be bored out of your mind here" said Ron.

"So what if I am Harry said I'm staying Hermione is my best friend and I care about her."

"You're my best friend too Harry" said Ron.

"True, but you're not the one in the hospital wing right now and she is" said harry. "Anyway you should be here too and you should have helped me get her here but if you care more about chess and having fun then you do about her health, then go" said harry his anger beginning to rise.

Ron huffed. "Guess I'll just go find someone else to play with."

Ron turned and headed down the corridor. Harry glared at his friends back. He knew him and Hermione did not get along all the time but he thought Ron would at least be concerned about her health.

Suddenly, the doors to the hospital wing opened. Harry turned around picked up his and Hermione's bags and ran up to Madam Pomfrey.

"I heard raised voices" she said. "I suppose that was you Mr. Potter."

"Yes, Ron and I had a disagreement" said Harry "by the way how's Hermione can I see her now."

"Yes, you can in fact she just asked for you I was about to send for you when I heard voices" said Madam Pomfrey.

Without a second glance Harry took off and ran to the closed off area where he thought she might be. When he crossed the barrier he saw that Hermione was still part-girl and part-cat and she was crying.

He did not know why but seeing Hermione cry like that hurt him in his heart. He has read stories where people were crying and their loved ones would hug and try to sooth them by rubbing their hair or their backs. He sat the bags down at the end of the bed. He climbed up onto the bed until he was close to her and he hesitated for a moment then he wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on top of her head and held her that way for a bit.

Hermione sat on the bed after Madam Pomfrey told her to get on one and after she booted Harry from the wing she walked over closed the curtains around the bed and asked her to remove her school uniform and to put on the nightgown that laid on the night stand and to get back on the bed.

"I'll be back in 5 minutes" she said. After she was done she then turned back around and left though the curtains.

Hermione sat on the bed waiting for madam Pomfrey to return and now that she was done crying and feeling bad for herself she had time to think. She kept berating herself of how stupid she was in not checking if the hair she had was human or animal before adding it to the potion and drinking it. She was also thinking if this was a permanent thing what her parents would say and do. Those thoughts had her tearing up again. She knew/hoped Harry would help her but the thought of the rest of the school especially the Slytherin's with the worst being Melfoy and Parkinson would do or say. Then she thought of Professor McGonagall or the Headmaster if they would suspend her or worse be expelled. She really hopes that madam Pomfrey could fix her so she could put this mistake behind her and move forward.

Madam Pomfrey returned with a tray full of potions. "Alright Ms. Granger if you would lie back so that I can run a few diagnostic charms."

Hermione nodded her head and laid down on the bed. After an hour of potions and charms madam Pomfrey just shook her head with a sad smile.

Ms. Granger I'm sorry to say but there is nothing I can do I have tried everything I can think of. As far as I can tell I'm afraid that your condition is permanent. I will need to send for Professor McGonagall and the Headmaster.

Hermione knew it she was doomed. Her parents all ready wanted to pull her out of Hogwarts since she told them all about her first year. She could tell they did not like the fact she was a witch because after she finished her winter and summer homework last year they asked her to hide her wand and other magical things. She was sure they'd pull her from the school now and no amount of begging will work. She was never going to see her friends again Harry, Susan and Fay.

"Madam Pomfrey before you call professor McGonagall can you see if harry can come here I don't think I could face them alone" said Hermione.

As madam Pomfrey left the curtain area Hermione pulled her leg to her chest and wrapped her arms around them and started to cry she was dreading the conversation with her head of house and the headmaster. She also feared what her parents would do along with the other students in the school. As she was crying she felt someone hug her in a semi-tight hug and lay their head on hers while she felt them rub her back gently. She smelled the sent mint and licorice and for some reason it calmed her as she knew it was harry giving her the hug.

"Everything is going to be ok Hermione" said harry. "I'm not leaving you and I'll help you as much as I can and in way I can think of."

After hearing that from harry she released her arms from her legs and wrapped them around him as she continued to cry on his shoulders. All the while taking in his comforting scent.

After she calmed down she told him everything that happed with madam Pomfrey and how her transformation might be permanent and that she wanted him there with her as she talked to Professor McGonagall and the Headmaster. He agreed to sit with her in the meeting. He got off the bed and sat in the chair next to her bed and held her hand as they waited for madam Pomfrey and the two professors to show up. She squeezed his hand and gave him a small smile in thanks for doing this for her.
