Chapter 1

It had been months since Harry's seventeenth birthday and he was still adjusting to the new changes that he had gone through. He kept his inheritance to himself as a closely guarded secret. He didn't want anyone to know, partly because he was afraid of how everyone in the Wizarding World would react. Now he knew what his mother must have felt like when she was a child and that was what led him to remembering his birthday during the past summer.

On the morning of Harry's seventeenth birthday, he had woken up to having a cat's tail and cat ears. He also discovered rather quickly that he also had a lot of other cat-like abilities, for example cat-like agility. Since Harry was now of the legal age to perform magic, he decided to cast a glamour charm on himself to hide his tail. This was, of course, after he had somehow changed his cat ears back into human ears. Under the glamour and with his tail safely wrapped around his waist, Harry set about gathering his things and then he left Private Drive for the last time without a backwards glance.

After Harry had left Private Drive he had flagged down the Night Bus and was dropped off outside of the Leaky Cauldron. From there he went to Gringotts and had made a full inquiry about his inheritance from his family and godfather. It was in one of his mother's vaults that he had discovered a journal that had some information on the transformation that he had gone through hours earlier and what he really was.

It turns out that Harry's mother was actually Petunia's cousin that had been adopted by Petunia's mother and father from a very distant part of their family. Harry had learned from the journal that his mother had been a creature that was known as a neko-jin, which meant that she was like what some people would refer to as a humanoid like cat. Now that had been a real shock to the Boy-Who-Lived. As he continued to read the journal he had been getting more and more confused. It seemed that his mother had been born as a neko-jin, which seems to have been a rare occurrence in the family bloodline, and that he, Harry, had been as well. Later on in the journal it was explained that in order to ensure his safety in case his mother and father died, his mother had developed a charm that would hide his neko-jin heritage from even Harry himself until he legally became an adult in the wizarding world.

There had been other things in Lily Potter's journal that had been very interesting. It turned out that Lily had been the first neko-jin to be born in any of the Evans bloodline in centuries and because of that it had made Lily the heiress to the neko-jin throne. It seems that the Evans family was of the royal bloodline of the neko-jin race and since it had been many centuries since the last neko-jin heir and heiress and been born into the family. It was because of that that Lily's true mother and father felt that it was their duty to protect their daughter, so they had allowed distant relatives adopt her. It also turned out that the Evans were also direct decedents of Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Merlin. Imagine Harry's surprise when he had read that and had also discovered that one of his ancestors had built a castle bigger than Hogwarts in honor of their three famous ancestors. It had been at that point that he had stopped reading his mother's journal for a little while in order to take in all of the information that he had learned. That, and he was sick of sitting on the floor in his mother's vault.

After Harry had grabbed quite a few books and a few more journals he was able to persuade the goblins into giving him the address of the Evans family castle, which he had found out from his mother's journal was called Paradise. The goblins had been more than willing to let the young heir have the address of his ancestral home. It turned out that Paradise Castle was hidden some where in Godric's Hollow under the Fedelius Charm. It was because of that that Harry had a strong feeling that the castle was some where really close to the house where his mother and father had stayed before they were killed and the house had been destroyed.

When Harry went to check out the surroundings of the destroyed family home he was correct in thinking that the castle had been close to the house. The house had been only a few hundred feet in front of the hidden castle and the destroyed house made for a good decoy to keep unwanted people from discovering the castle. Upon entering the castle Harry discovered that there had been yet another secret that had been hidden from him, it turned out he was not the last Potter to survive the Dark Lord. Harry had… but as he thought more about the relative that he had found waiting for him he had to force his mind away from the summer memories before he decided to leave Hogwarts.

Harry had hated to leave his last remaining living relative back in Paradise, which they had agreed to call instead of always having to 'Paradise Castle' all the time. He missed his family member more and more each day, but they had both thought that it would be best for that person to remain hidden until either the final battle or until after the war was finally over. Harry also remembered how that family member said that there was at least another one or two people in their family, if not more, that they would have to try to locate as soon as they could, if it was possible. A couple weeks before Harry returned to Hogwarts was when they had found another family member in a place called Helga's Haven, which coincidentally belonged to Harry as well.

Harry had known since the death of Sirius that he was different and when he had read some of his mother's journal on his seventeenth birthday, it had only confirmed it even more, but he was more than okay with that. In fact, that just made him unique and he was starting to like the feeling of being unique. His newly discovered family accepted him the way he was, so why shouldn't he just accept himself for whom and what he really is? At least that was how Harry was thinking about that subject matter.

Speaking of subject matters, Harry really should be concentrating on the potion he was working on since he could feel the dark eyes of the Potions Master on him. He could ponder the past later on. Harry mentally scoffed, 'Really, this is so easy. I learned how to do this properly over the summer with my siblings. I could do this potion blindfolded if I had to, just like my siblings could. We did, after all, receive half of our genetic makeup from Lily Evans Potter.' Harry's potions marks had improved vastly this year and it had not escaped the notice of the resident Potions Master. Harry looked up and met the eyes of Professor Snape as he put the finishing touches to his potion. Snape raised an eyebrow when he saw Harry finish the potion without even looking at it very much during the whole class.

Snape had been watching the Potter boy since he had returned to Hogwarts, especially since the foolish teen had vanished on his birthday and had not been seen until he had boarded the Hogwarts Express. Many on the staff had noticed that the teen had changed since he had pulled off his disappearing act, but they were not complaining since the Golden Boy's grades had shot up past even the Granger girl's usual marks. And now there was this for the Potions Master to ponder. The teen had just been daydreaming and yet he had made a perfect potion while barely glancing down at the cauldron. Severus hadn't seen anything like that since….. Severus's eyes widened in slight surprise as he realized that he hadn't seen anything like that since he had been in school with Lily Evans, she had been the one person besides himself that could pull something like that off.

Severus smirked to himself, his new query was indeed proving to be very interesting. No one, aside from Severus himself, knew that the now seventeen year old Harry Potter was to be that mate of one Severus Snape. Or, so he thought, the potions master had no clue that Harry already knew of that due to his creature heritage. Severus knew that the Potter boy had inherited some kind of creature heritage from his mother. Severus only knew of that due to the fact that he had been, at one time, Lily's friend. That, and Severus had his own creature blood flowing through his veins. This would certainly be an interesting pursuit, that was for sure.

Harry noticed the smirk gracing Professor Snape's lips and felt a shiver of awareness run through him. Snape's smirk got bigger as he caught sight of the slight shiver that had gone through the Golden Boy and the other eyebrow joined the one that was already arched. Both of sets of eyes locked again and they both realized that the other knew about being each other's mate. Harry moistened his suddenly dry lips and shuddered a little. 'Well, that certainly does explain a lot since the start of term. Like how he always seems to find me no matter where I am, with or without my invisibility cloak.' Harry thought to himself. As the bell rang that signaled the end of class Harry smirked to himself because he had just got an idea. It was now time to play a little bit of a game of cat and mouse.

"Potter!" Snape's voice cut through the noise of the students clambering to get out of the potions classroom. "Stay behind."

Ron and Hermione seemed to hesitate a little, but Harry gave then a slight smile. "Go." He told them gently, as if he were talking to his younger sibling. "I'll catch up later." He smirked after his friends left and turned to face the older man. Now it was play time. "Yes, sir?"

"It would seem, Potter." Snape started. "That you have finally allowed yourself to show the intelligence that you received from your mother." It was a simple statement.

"Yes, sir," Harry replied. "I finally decided I was sick of living up to everyone else's expectations about how I should act and be." Harry snorted slightly. "That, and I know a couple people who would have my hide if I didn't let my real self start to show."

"Indeed." Was Snape's response as he continued to survey the teen. "So it would seem that you know…" He trailed off, not really knowing how to finish and unwilling to finish that sentence. Let the brat gather his own ideas.

"You could say that, Professor." Harry said with a smirk. "But that does not mean that I am going to make this easy for you." He couldn't resist baiting the older man, after all, he was in a playful type mood.

Snape's eyes narrowed. "We shall see, Potter, we shall see."

"Whatever you say, Professor." Harry stated in a flippant way, knowing that it would set the older man off in some way.

Before he knew it, Harry was being pinned to the table behind him. "Whether you like it or not, Potter," Snape snarled, "you will be mine." As if to prove his point he leaned down and roughly kissed the teen for a few moments before breaking the kiss. "I knew since the first time you stepped foot in this school that you would be mine when you came of age and there is nothing that will stop me from claiming what is mine. Do you understand me, Potter? Nothing, and I mean, nothing, will stop me from having you." Snape growled.

"Then this shall definitely prove to be interesting, sir." Harry purred as he cocked his head to the side a little bit. "Though, that still does not mean that things will be easy for you when it comes to completely catching me. Because catching me and being able to keep me can be very different things, Professor, or can be the same, it may depend on my mood." Harry added before he ducked out from under the older man's grasp and was gone with cat-like grace.

"Damn brat has more lives than a cat." Snape grumbled to himself. Then his eyes widened in realization. "So it would seem that Potter inherited Lily's feline like similarities and abilities." He murmured, and then smirked. "There is always more than one way to catch a koneko, whether it be by the tail or not." And that was how his plotting began. (Koneko means kitten in Japanese)

A/N: Continue or no? Please let me know what you think, but please be nice about it. I have up until chapter 5 done.
