"Coogie poo!"
"Meyyyow meow!"
"Suu weee!"
Kit eyed his front two paws as his claws slowly appeared. He flexed them against the stone floor and spared the two paintings a glance. As he experienced many times, not everything could always follow the plan, but the this was the most annoying wait he had ever endured.
"I wonder why it's just standing there?" Violet mused.
"It's obviously waiting for its master." The Fat lady replied. "But obviously its new to Hogwarts, and doesn't know where the pets' entrance is."
Kit's ears perked and his claws immediately retracted as he faced the painting. He eyed the fat lady expectantly, hoping that she would guide him to the entrance.
"Oh so you want to know?" The fat lady giggled when the cat nodded. "It's just around the..."
"YOWWWWL"
Kit was rudely picked up without warning by a strong pair of unfamiliar hands and he tried to scratch the assailant when he heard a familiar voice.
"And who is this?" Minerva McGonagall asked. Kit struggled from her strong grip, to no avail. The women in the paintings were so noisy that he hadn't even heard his transfiguration teacher's approach.
"It's a lost pet of a Gryffindor Deputy Headmistress." The painting of the fat lady answered dutifully while Violet curtsied. "It's obviously new to the school, and we were about to guide it to the pet entrance."
"Thank you." Minerva nodded at the guardian to the entrance of the Gryffindor common room. "I think I'll take it from here."
Minerva turned the stunned young cat to get a better look at him, and to Kit's horror the Deputy Headmistress rubbed her nose with his.
"Such a cute cat." Minerva said softly. "And your master obviously takes care of you."
Kit continued to stare at his strict transfiguration professor, still stunned at what happened. He snapped out of it after a moment and quickly looked around, hoping no one saw him getting nose rubbed by Minerva McGonagall.
A few seconds later, he realized that no one in Hogwarts knew about his animagus form, even the twins and he relaxed. McGonagall gently lowered him to the ground, and a moment later a large tabby cat with gray fur and black stripes stood in front of him.
It was McGonagall's animagus form and it was obviously trying to follow him.
"Mrooowrr..."
Kit observed his fellow animagus as it headed down the stairs. After three steps, McGonagall stopped, and stared expectantly at him, obviously she wanted him to follow her. Kit shrugged and followed his professor down the stairs, curious about a secret path for pets that led to the Gryffindor tower. If there was such an entrance to every common room, then Harry had another way to sneak into his classmates' dormitories.
A tail smacked into his face and he realized that he had stopped near a suit of armor and McGonagall was trying to get his attention. He glared at the tabby cat but received an even more intimidating glare in turn. He realized that even in her animagus form, Minerva McGonagall's glare was still as potent.
Trying to save his pride, Kit let out a small hiss but it came off more like a cough and dutifully followed his animagus professor towards the pet's passage.
Lavender Brown sat on one of the arm chairs near the fireplace while her best friend Parvati sat in the other on the other couch reading the latest muggle fashion magazine.
Usually the two Gryffindor girls wouldn't be able to sit at preferred chairs in the common room, but now that most of her house had left for the holidays, she used the opportunity to experience what only the seventh year girls used during the regular school days.
She glanced at the other end of the room near the bookcases, where the younger Weasley siblings were playing a game of chess. Nearby the strict Gryffindor prefect Percy Weasley watched his younger siblings while he wrote a letter to his girlfriend Penelope.
It looked like young Ginny was winning over her brother Ron, again. Ronald's face was scrunched up in concentration, determined not to lose for the third straight game.
A small painting of the forbidden forest, hanged near the ground opened, revealing a young black cat that warily stepped in and took a wary glance at its surroundings.
Lavender was tempted to approach the cat and pet it, but her friend Parvati beat her to it. The Indian girl knelt near the cat who bravely petted its head.
"Do you know whose pet this is?" Parvati asked. She tickled the cat behind the ears and smiled at feeling its soft fur under her palm.
"I haven't seen it before." Lavender replied. She knelt beside her friend and tickled the cat's chin. She tried to pick the animal up and bring it to the couch, but she was rudely warned by a strong hiss.
"Someone must have left it behind for the holidays." Parvati mumbled. Lavender tried her luck again to pick it up but was rebuffed by a swat of a paw.
"Ouch!" Lavender held her hand to her chest. "It doesn't look too friendly now."
"It's best to leave it alone." Parvati said.
Lavender nodded and followed her friend, giving one look at the cat that was now making its way to the boy's dorm.
"Let's go, I heard Oliver was going to start a snowball fight with the Puffs." Parvati said.
All thoughts of the cuddly cat vanished from Lavender thoughts at the prospect of seeing Oliver Wood. The two girls giggled their way out of the common room while the black cat disappeared among the shadows.
The cat quickly made its way to the second year dorm room and poked its head through the partially opened door of the dorm room. Confirming that no one was inside the room, he backed out and quickly transformed, eager to catch his prey. This was his first kidnapping, and he wanted to do it right despite the setbacks that he encountered earlier during the start of his mission.
Harry scanned the map, and once he spotted his target, he quietly entered the room, this time with his wand drawn.
