Chariot

Hi everyone ::Beams:: Y'all are blowin' me away with the feedback. Like I said this is my first story so I was expecting ones like "This sucks" not "I love this story." Just keep em comin'.

Sorry this took so long, I had a busy week. My older sister is having a baby, so were gettin ready for that, my little sister had her Senior Prom and is graduating soon. My cousin just got back from Afghanistan so needless to say I haven't had a chance to write much.

Reviews:
Varjo- I love kitty Harry too. I mean who doesn't think that he needs a tail?

lou- Thanks, they should be much longer from now on, I promise (and if they're not you can throw tomatoes at me

Lilith- Harry (in my humble opinion) is depicted with a cat like personality, now he just has the body to go with it ::evil cackle:: I do so like playing with his body. Sirius was one of my favorite HP characters JKR totally pissed me off when she killed him. Remus' well Remus' just makes me laugh.

hieisdragoness18- Isn't he though ::grins:: and as for what happens you'll just have to wait and see (I'll give you a hint, it involves the Norse Vanja Freya). I wouldn't necessarily say poor Harry though, after all he is going to get to be with Draco in the end.

momoko- Thanks, it's always nice to hear your work is appreciated ::takes a bow::

sp- Well after you so graciously praised me, how could I not continue soon

DestinyDragon-Awww...you used the L word ::sniffles:: That's so sweet

Nekoko Cella- I haven't decided if I'm going to make him go into heat or not, I suppose if a lot of people ask for it I will. We'll see, though I do agree it would be funny as hell

picofoxy-I love cookies ( or it could be I just like food, who knows) Thanks bushels

JenaWade- Thanks, I love that L word

foxyval-girly butt swish huh? That could be arranged, I'll see if I can fit it in just for you

LexieMalfoy- Who knows what's gonna happen...oh yeah I'm the author, oops...::sheepish grin::

TatsuTipatico-Your right, no one does write kitty Draco/Harry stories, it's tear worthy really

thrnbrooke- Well Here's Chapter 2, and as for where Harry inherited this from that wont be revealed until chapter 3/4 depends on how I feel as I finish 3.

Last time:

Remus gently put his hand on Harry’s shoulder and gave it a comforting squeeze. Harry nodded to him pouting, he grabbed his trunk, and Hedwig's cage and turned back to his Godfathers. “Alright lets go, but Remus if Dumbledore can’t help me I’m blaming it on you.” Remus chuckled quietly and put his hand on Harry’s Arm. Sirius wrapped his arms around his Godson and gave him a reassuring smile, which Harry tentatively returned. Pulling out a gold chain from his pocket Remus shouted “HOME” and they were gone in a swirl of bright lights that hurt Harry’s eyes. Being a cat sucked.

Chapter 2: Why Me?

Sitting in the kitchen at number twelve Grimmauld Place, Harry was wondering if maybe he should have stayed at the Dursley's. It would probably have been safer, at least to his sanity. Sirius was muttering to himself about all the ways he would destroy whomever it was that had done this to his "dear precious Godson" (most, Harry was quit positive, were anatomically impossible). Meanwhile Remus had what seemed like ever book in the Black library stacked on the table and was torn between researching just what had happened and sending looks at his honorary Godson that made Harry feel like a museum exhibit.

As soon as they had touched down, Sirius had taken Harry to his room to unpack while Remus had left to floo Professor Dumbledore, who, after hearing just what had befallen the wizardry worlds 'savior' had told them he would round up Professor Snape and would join them immediately.

Harry was in NO way happy about the fact that his least favorite professor (the feeling was mutual as Harry was Snape's least favorite student as well) would get to see him looking like a bloody cat.

"ACHOO!"

Remus' "Bless you Harry," earned the werewolf a dark look from the agitated boy.

He couldn't stop sneezing! On top of having cat ears; tail; teeth; nails; and eyes, The-Boy-Who-Lived-To-Be-A-Cat also had all the instincts and senses. The dust, and decaying smell of the run down house agitated his sensitive nose making him sneeze.

The sound of the floo in the study alerted the three to their guests arrival. Harry slumped in his seat, praying to whatever was out there to please let a black hole open up and suck him in. Unsurprising, (as if anything that actually decided to go Harry's way would throw the earth off its axis) it didn't work.

Two men walked into the kitchen, one with a twinkle in his merry blue eyes, and the other with a sneer (that had to be permanently etched) on his face. Sirius glared spitefully at the black haired potions master. The relationship between one Sirius Black and Severus Snape, had not improved since Sirius' return. They both clung to their old feud, refusing to give it up no matter what anyone a.k.a. Dumbledore and Remus, said to them about it.

Immediately both sets of eyes landed on Harry, who was trying valiantly to blend into the wallpaper. There was a long silence as both took in his new appearance. Professor Snape's face lit up like a kid on Christmas as he took in the cat ears resting on the dratted boys head, causing Harry to bristle. Harry was just about to open his mouth and say something that would undoubtedly get him into trouble when Dumbledore gave him a grandfatherly smile causing him to relax some and hesitantly smile in return.

"Well it would seem Potter that when they said Gryffindors were Lions they meant it literally" Snape sent him a smirk, Sirius tried to hex him but was stopped by Remus who sent a disapproving Glare at Snape. Snape just smirked wider as Harry hissed at him.

"Ah Harry my boy, happy birthday, now what have you gotten yourself into this time?" Dumbledore said cheerfully. Ignoring the derisive snort from his companion as well as the indignant "hey" from the boy in question he turned to Remus. "Have you found anything my boy?"

"Hello Professor, no we're still not quite sure what has happened. Harry informed us he woke up this way, and on his birthday no less. Any idea what it could mean?'

"Harry could you tell me exactly what happened? Everything that you remember please."

Harry let out a soft sigh, wondering where to even begin. " I don't really know. I remember my head and my back itched, my nails and gums hurt, and then everything went white and I passed out. When I woke up I looked like this.

"Tell me Harry, is this only in appearance or is there more?'

"No, there's more, all my senses have improved greatly, and I'm craving tuna fish. Professor I don't even like tuna fish." Harry pouted.

"Curious, yes yes, it's curious. That would explain the lack of your glasses. I would almost say it was part of his inheritance, except that usually occurs on a wizard's seventeenth birthday not their sixteenth. Though it is possible. Sirius, Remus did either Lily or James have any creature blood in them at all?"

"Lily was a muggleborn Albus, you don't honestly think this came from her do you?"

"Not everything is always as it appears Severus, so we must look into all possibilities."

Remus and Sirius shared a look before shaking their heads "neither of them ever mentioned having any creature blood Professor." "Neither of them smelled as if they did either" Remus added.

Dumbledore just nodded before turning to Harry "It would probably be best if you stayed here for the remainder of the summer and to not mention this to anyone, including the Weasley's and Miss. Granger for now Harry. I know you had plans to spend your birthday with them and I'm sorry you can not. I'll owl them so they know not to expect you, I'm sure they are quite worried by now. Severus I think it would be best if you were to brew a prosapia cruor(1) potion as soon as possible. That hopefully will tell us just what is happening to you my boy. No worries we will figure this all out in no time. In the meantime it would be best if you were to place a glamour charm on our young Harry if you leave the premises."

"It will take me at least two days to brew the prosapia cruor potion Albus."

"Yes, Yes please start as soon as you can Severus, the faster we figure this out the better. I'll come to check on you soon Harry, but before I go I have something for you" he handed Harry an envelope bearing the Hogwarts crest. "Thank you Professor" Harry said smiling brightly for the first time all day. With a final goodbye, and a final sneer the two professors took their leave.

"What is it Harry?" Sirius was bouncing in his seat trying to see.

"It's my Hogwarts letter."

"Well open in Harry, come on I wanna know how my little Prongs did on his O.W.L.s"

With a laugh Harry ripped open his letter and scanned it.

"Bloody hell" Harry breathed staring wide eyed at the parchment in front of him. He had passed all his O.W.L.s, but what was even more surprising was he had got an O in potions. Snape must have had a stroke.

"Language Harry, here let me see it can't be that bad." Wordlessly Harry handed the parchment to Remus, still in shock over the O next to potions. Remus took it scanning it while his lover did the same over his shoulder. "Harry you did excellent, you passes all your O.W.L.s. Nine in all!" Sirius gave a big grin before reaching over and ruffling his Godson's hair, being careful to watch Harry's new ears. "That's my little Prongs, Betcha Snivillus nearly died when he saw your potions grade." He was cackling now "he'll be stuck with you in his N.E.W.T.s class, imagine all the havoc you could wreak in there."

Remus smacked him. "Oww...Moony, What was that for?"

"There will be NO havoc wreaking Sirius Orion Black, N.E.W.T.s potions is dangerous, the last thing Harry is in need of is more danger."

"Aww Moony you know I was just kidding, I would never do anything that could hurt Harry. I just was thinking of all the things he could do to Snape is all." He sent a pair of puppy dog eyes in Remus' direction trying to will him to believe him, unfortunately for Sirius, Moony was more than used to this tactic and was immune.

"I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth Padfoot so give it up." Sirius pouted at that, Harry just laughed at him.

"So Harry, what do you want to do for your birthday?" Remus asked.

"PRESENTS!!!" With that Sirius scrambled out of the chair and out of the kitchen leaving his two companions blinking after him.

"Apparently presents" Harry said dryly, earning a smile from Remus. A loud crash and a yelp caused them both to burst out laughing. Which was how Sirius found them as he walked back into the kitchen carrying boxes and rubbing his ass. He gave them both a sheepish smile before placing the pile in front of Harry.

"There you go Harry, I even got the ones from your friends since Hedwig brought them" he beamed at his Godson.

"Thanks Padfoot, Moony" Harry gave them both a bright smile before picking up the first brightly wrapped package.

From: Hermione
To: Harry

Happy Birthday!

Tearing open the wrapping Harry (unsurprisingly) uncovered a book 101 most used healing techniques. Harry let out a laugh remembering all the time he had spent in the hospital wing over the years. Both Remus and Sirius grinned, they too knew of Harry's frequent jaunts with danger. Setting the book aside Harry picked up the next one, this one was from Ron, in it he found a new broom cleaning kit and chocolate frogs. Opening one, Harry viciously bit the head of the squirming treat and continued open his gifts. From the twins he received (as he knew he would) some of their latest products to test out, Mrs. Weasley sent him some treats (she was convinced he was far to skinny), and Hagrid had sent him some rock cakes (which he had No intention of eating, but it was the thought that counts). Next Harry picked up a Remus' gift, sending the man a smile that was quickly returned Harry ripped it open. Remus it would seem had had the same thought as Hermione for he had gifted Harry with a magical medical kit. The kit included potions for anything from a stomachache to a hole in the stomach, as well as magical bandages, smelling salts, and anything else Harry would ever need on one of his many adventures. "Thanks Moony, this is awesome! It's just to bad I didn't have it sooner, it would have saved me many trips to the hospital wing."

Remus smiled "I'm glad you like it Harry, I remember Hermione mentioning that you had taken an interest in Healing, are you thinking of becoming one after you Graduate?"

Harry gave him a thoughtful look "I haven't really decided yet, I was going to talk to Madam Pomphrey about it. I kinda like the idea that I could be helping people for a living." Remus' gave him a small nod.

By then Sirius was practically bouncing in his seat, as he waited for Harry to open his present. Harry rolled his eyes at his hyperactive Godfather before he open his last present, and Harry's eyes went wide. Nestled in Black velvet was a pendent of a silver stag, with inset emeralds for eyes. "Wow...Sirius...It's, It's beautiful." Harry's eyes went to his Godfather for an explanation for such an extravagant gift even as he ran his fingers over it reverently. Sirius just gave him a smile and picked it up from the box, and gently slipped it around Harry's neck. "Don't give me that look Harry, your my Godson I'm allowed to spoil you. You haven't had enough people who did in your lifetime. It has protection charms on it, and only you can take it off. It's a Portkey, so if anytime you need to get away just say the word 'Prongs' and it will bring you straight here." With tears in his eyes Harry jumped up and gave him hug, before rounding the table and giving one to Remus as well.

"Thanks you guys, your the best Godfathers a orphaned cat boy could have" Harry gave them both a cheeky smile.

"Damn straight" Sirius said giving him a grin. "The 'cat-boy' part was a bit unexpected and unusual since me and moony are canines and all, but then again you have always been a bit prissy like a cat." Harry aimed a swat at his head as Sirius danced out of the way with Remus laughing in the background. Maybe being a cat didn't suck that bad after all.

I Know It's not as long as I promised but the next chapter should be much longer "don't hurt me!!!"{ ::runs for cover::
