Notes: This is just what I call an „impulse" story (just thought of the
name). It will evolve with time (I hope) and there is absolutely no plan to
it. Its quality may also be , lower, but its just to take my mind of the
one I'm writing for LOTR that I'm REALLLLLY working hard on to make it
perfect and complete before I post it. Once again English is my second
language so do forgive all the mistakes.
I do not own HP and its characters (you know who they are); I do own Catherine, Seb and Tom. Don't know who'll be more in the story the Durmstag 3 or the Hogwarts 3 (just realised its 3 and 3 : ))))) and just a warning Catherine may become a Mary-Sue (Although I'm new to this so I'm not that good at recognising a M-S)
1 March 2004 – ok I have decided to format this a little, I leave chapter one as it was, but next chapters will be shorter and somehow I think this will make it easier to write and read. I have also decided to do a little planning. Seems chapter 2 is much better, at least I "feel" it. Please Review or this story will be soon gone, as its hard to motivate oneself sometimes. :D:D:D
Chapter 1 Meeting Cat, Seb and Tom
Ok just finished writing the first chapter. Don't know what will happen next. If you have any suggestions, than please say. This can evolve in any way you want (As long as I like it)
This is rated R for later use....really if you are under 18 you should not be reading the later chapters (I have this really wicked scene in my head), well ok you can, I mean seriously you don't have to 18 to know good sex right? Ok personal opinion not on the story there..... I'm off.
Cat was not happy, not happy at all. Seventh grade in Hogwarts was not a good thing. She would be far away from home and she would have to "fit in" once again. However Durmstag no longer existed. Most students went to other schools that she did not know. It was only Tom, Seb and she now in Hogwarts. She unpacked slowly thinking of a technique, or maybe more of a plan. "How should she handle people here?" One thing was sure the less they knew the better.
"Hi" a fast voice spoke form the left. Catherine spun around and came face to face with a really bushy-haired girl. "My name is Hermione Granger, and I live here, and you must be the new girl form Durmstag. I read that Durmstag is in a very cold place, how do you like our weather?" Hermione blinked rapidly. Catherine did not mind people that spoke a lot, and she was a gentle person although a little creepy, so Hermione did not annoy her at all, she found her rather nice, although she was still suspicious.
"Eh, yes, my name's Catherine, call me Cat"
"Alright, so, eh I'll let you unpack and then we can go for dinner, how about that?"
Cat put up a faint smile, and nodded. They seem really excited around this place, how strange. She thought to herself.
Oh they were excited all right. As she sat down for dinner, she was almost as excited as all the Hogwarts students were. And what surprised her most; there was absolutely no reason to be excited. Hermione thought this new girl was kind of creepy. She hardly ever smiled, and had that really mysterious look on her face whenever she asked her a question. "So how come your English is so good? I'm sorry but I have met some Durmstag students, and they seemed to have accent problems." Hermione went a little pink, as she just realised the question might offend Cat. Also Cat seemed amused by her question, and smiled. Mysteriously, of course.
"Well, my parents, they were British." She paused for a moment "So, Hermione I heard you have Butterbeer here, and maybe some other interesting beverages, know where I can get any?"
Hermione smiled "You should go see Fred and George Weasly, I'll introduce you after dinner." Cat's mood was lifting, she got up and headed for the Ravenclaw table "I'll be right back" Hermione shrugged.
She approached the new boy Hermione knew as Tom. All she knew was that he was half Japanese and that he was very bright. At least that's what she managed to get out of McGonagall on their Wednesday tea session. Then Cat approached the boy named Seb at the Slitherin table "Midnight, west side, maybe" was all she said. Seb nodded and continued eating.
"This is Fred and this is George" Hermione said pointing at the twins, fortunately she got their names correctly. "This is Catherine" Fred nodded and George smiled widely.
"Whatever you want come to us. Like these...." She stopped him with her hand.
"All I want is a couple of bottles of Butterbeer, and maybe something a little stronger if you know what I mean" Fred and George looked at each other and then nodded.
"Alrighty then, you give us the money and you'll have it in two hours. Be in the common room."
It was almost midnight as Hermione woke up with a start. Cat was leaving her bed.
"Where are you going?"
"Never mind, sleep, just a little meeting that's all" Hermione was just about to protest when she remembered that she promised herself she will not be protesting to any ridiculous and weird ideas people get. She only got in trouble for it and why should she care anyway. Plus she found being naughty quite fun sometimes. She was still thinking hard about the Butterbeers and "something little stronger". She could maybe have a drink, but oh well...
"Fine by me" she put her head down and fell asleep easily.
The ritual repeated itself for 4 nights. Hermione told Ron and Harry about it and they decided to follow Cat, as you could never tell where danger lay. They waited under Harry's invisibility cloak in the common room (an that was quite hard as Ron was now so tall in his seventh year that the cloak could hardly cover them up). "Shhhhh Hermione" poked Harry as he started having a go at Ron for being so big "she's coming". The think that made Hermione uncomfortable with this whole "sneaking out" was how did Cat manage to avoid Snape and Filch. She got her answer pretty fast. As soon as Cat descended the dormitory stairs she quickly started changing shape. In less then a second the three could no longer see Cat. Well they could see a cat, but not Cat. Where Cat stood Hermione could see a big black panther, with glowing green eyes. Eyes just like Cat's. The pushed the common room exit open and jumped out through the hole swiftly. Harry, Ron and Hermione were to shocked to move. "She an animag" Harry turned his head towards his friends. Ron's mouth was fully open and all he could was mouth bloody hell. Hermione looked thoughtful not at all shocked.
"I figured it was something illegal come on. Move!" she shoved the two boys towards the portrait hole.
"A...a-re you sure about this 'Mione" Ron looked petrified.
They walked down stairs however they had absolutely no idea where Cat went.
"Parvati said that she keeps on coming up to that Tom guy and saying things like midnight, west side, defiantly or something like that" Harry looked at Hermione with a stern face waiting for an explanation.
"Well then let's go down stairs and head to the west of the school building. The best idea I got" Hermione started walking.
"Guys, e-hm do we really have to, we don't even know where west is." Ron took his time, making the smallest strides in order to slow them down
"As you wish." Seb's voice was casual "Goodnight"
Cat did not answer. Suddenly she walked out form behind the tree as herself, and swiftly changed into the panther again. The next second they saw a huge white cat join her. It was as huge as Cat, and as they walked together to the castle their contrast looked almost beautiful. However Harry, Ron and Hermione did not notice. They were feeling to shocked. They also felt quite weird.
"These Durmstag people, honestly, strange" Ron spoke without hesitation. Both his friends looked surprised. He did not look scared at all.
