Harry's POV
It was three days after the Moon Dan pill incident that I completed the change. I screamed in pain as I felt my bones shifting again. This caused a very exhausted Snape and Sirius to shoot up. I was shrinking and fur began to sprout all over. Both men stared at me as my body shrunk to the size of a small kitten, and I had a full coat of white and black fur.
I could see Sirius trying to keep his laughter in. He said," I can't believe this. You a kitten hahaha." I took a swipe of my paw at Sirius' leg. In doing so I almost tumbled over as I overbalanced. Sirius smiled and said gently picking me up by the scruff of my neck," It's okay Harry. I just wasn't expecting that. I guess you will grow into a full tiger."
I growled angrily trying to dislodge his grip. Severus said smacking Sirius upside the head," Release him Black. Tigers don't let anyone but their mothers hold them like that. Unless you want your godson to bite you." Sirius put me down pouting slightly as he did so. My eyes were on Severus even in this form he calmed me. Sirius watched with curiosity filled eyes. He said to Severus after a moment," I think you imprinted on him Snape."
Severus raised an eyebrow as he put me on the floor. He asked sneering at the man for a moment," What do you mean by that Black?" Sirius leaned back against the wall staring at me in contemplation. He said watching as I curled up into a ball on the floor," He's relaxed around you. When I picked him up his animal instincts kicked in. I could feel it. In truth I was trying to imprint on him so that I could stay by his side. Somehow you beat me to that Severus. Whether I like it or not you will be the one to guide him not me."
I watched lazily as Severus froze his face betraying his shock. He asked," How is that possible?" With a slight shrug Sirius said," He did say that he asked you to be his mentor. That is probably what allowed you to imprint on him. In this form he is just a cub so he is vulnerable."
Severus raised an eyebrow and asked," Meaning?" Sirius rolled his eyes," Meaning that if you say he's to trust someone in that form he will. He trusts you completely."
Severus sat on the floor tiredly and was surprised when the small cub got to its feet jumping in his lap. Severus' lips twitched as the tiger cub fell asleep in his lap.
I awoke hours later after I had changed into my tiger form. Stretching I could feel every one of my muscle unclench. Looking up I could see an amused Severus watching me. I cocked my head to the side watching him as he got to his feet putting me on the floor.
I yawned continuing my stretching until I heard a yelp. Looking over my shoulder I saw Sirius jumping and small blue lightning streaks. I grinned and thought,: Oops. I forgot ki flow is harder to control as you change in and out of animal forms. Sorry Sirius.: He must have seen the apologetic look because he nodded. Severus said," Harry you need to listen to Black so that he can help you change back."
I tilted my head to the side in question. I didn't really want to change back so soon. Severus raised an eyebrow making my ears flatten against my head. Sirius said trying to hold back his laughter," I don't think he want to leave his tiger form." I bared my teeth at my godfather and tried to walk off. Severus picked me up by the scruff of my neck and said," Oh no you don't. If I let you walk off I'll never find you again."
I swiped a paw at his nose instinctively and he leaned back so that it missed him entirely. His grip tightened on my scruff causing me to go limp in his grasp. He said sternly looking me in the eyes," You will listen to me and obey. Black is here to teach you how to become human again. I was never an animagus so I can't help you change back." I nodded quietly watching the man closely.
After a moment of contemplation he placed me back on the floor. Sirius said with a smile," I'll take it from here S... Severus." I was surprised at Sirius' use of Severus' first name. They had never gotten along but now Sirius was making an effort. I didn't notice as Severus left the room as Sirius said," First thing Harry you need to do is focus on a small part of your body and picture that as a human part. A good choice is a finger or even a hand."
