Chapter-2
Rambling
Harry blinks her eyes and yawns. Slowly it dawns over her that she is not sleeping beneath some tree. She is sleeping in a tent on a couch. She had forgotten how comfortable couches are, not that the Dursleys ever let her sleep on their couches. But still, sometimes when they went out, she used to rest on their couches and beds which were hundred times more comfortable then the closet they forced her to sleep in.
She stretches her paws and yawns before getting down the couch. A peak at Draco makes her realize that he is still asleep. Swiftly, she changes into her human self and checks out if her leaves are covering her properly. Initially, she hadn't been able to keep her leaves intact on changing into a human but practice has made her perfect and now the transformation has become swift and easy for her.
She could go to the nearby villages and steal some clothes but the thing is that she hates stealing and as such, she stays as a cat most of the day. She only changes when she needs to eat or bathe. So leaves do. It's not like there is anyone she needs to be afraid of. She stays out of sight of the people who venture in this forest but that is very rare. Mostly, she rests on a branch of some tree or just wanders around the forest.
She checks out the things he has brought with him, wondering if he has some fruits or not. He has been kind enough to share his porridge with her. Perhaps she can bring fruits for him.
After checking his baskets, she realizes that he hasn't brought much with him. She wonders if he is going to stay for a day or two only because the vegetables that he has brought will last that much.
When she hears him yawn, she transforms again and sneaks out of the tent quickly. She runs towards the trees she often plucks the fruits from and transforms into her human self again.
After gathering a few bananas, apples and oranges on a banana leaf, she binds it and picks it up before walking towards the tent.
From the bushes, she peaks to check whether he is outside or not. He is washing his face. The water is just falling out of nowhere on his hands.
"What is he doing?" She wonders, "Is this some kind of magic. How is he doing this?"
She knows magic. She does but she has tried to repress it. Aunt Petunia said that she is a freak because she does freakish things. She doesn't take help of magic for anything. She doesn't need it. It's strange to see water falling out of nowhere on his hands.
Swiftly, she transforms into a cat again when she notices him turn his face in her direction. Perhaps, she had wondered too loud.
Thankfully, she has already turned into a cat when he looks at her. The banana leaf which she had unbound and placed on the floor is lying in front of her.
"Meow." She murmurs and he walks towards her, amazed.
His eyes look at her and then at the fruits and he kneels down.
"Hey, you brought these for me? How did you do it?" He asks her and she licks her lips, a bit alarmed. She had not thought about this. She had not known that he will get suspicious.
"I am sure that you are some kind of magical creature. Are you?" He says and she looks at him, frozen at her spot.
She doesn't deny and she doesn't accept it. She doesn't know what a magical creature is.
"I wonder how you can understand me so well. You won't if you are really a normal cat. That implies that you are not a normal cat. What are you called?" He asks and she stares at him.
Slowly, it dawns upon her that he could harm her. She has been away from humans for years now and had almost forgotten that humans tend to be selfish. They harm others to fulfill their own desires. She starts backing off, alarmed. She had wanted to stay away from humans but it seemed nice to have company of someone who was like her.
"Hey, I am not hurting you." He murmurs alarmed and she turns around before fleeing away from him.
It had been too good and she should have known that good things don't last in her life. She is not destined to have even a bit of happiness in her life.
She has always found animals to be a better friend then humans. They are faithful. They don't stab on your back. Atleast they don't hurt their own family. Most of the times, company of her animal friends is sufficient but then there are other times when she turns into herself and finds something missing in her life.
She talks to herself just to make sure that she can still talk. There is no-one to talk to. She has gotten used to it.
But Draco... she liked his company last night. He talks so much. Even if her transformation into a cat doesn't let her talk to him, it was nice to have someone who talks to her.
She should have known that it was too good to be true.
She stops when she finds an oak tree and climbs on it. She sits on a branch and sulks, staring at the clear sky.

Draco wakes up and yawns loudly before rubbing his eyes tiredly. Immediately after opening his eyes, he turns his face to check out if she is still there.
When he realizes that she has left, his face falls. He will have to wander alone in this large forest. He is already so bored. Although she is a cat, she is better then most of his year mates. At least she doesn't judge him. Back at Hogwarts, everyone thinks that he is a replica of his father just because he is a Malfoy.
Far from it, he despises his parents from the bottom of his heart and doesn't even want to stay with them. The fact that he is their only son prevents him from leaving them all-together.
He is waiting for a single mistake on their part. He will leave once they do something that is completely against his principles.
He is just biding his time. Perhaps he will stay with his godfather. Severus is really busy these days. He is busy trying to brew the potion that will help him restore Lily Potter's mind. No-one knows what happened that night. No-one knows where their daughter disappeared, their as in Lily and James's. The only fact that is known is that someone had murdered James Potter in cold blood and cruioed Lily to insanity. They could never find their only daughter. It was like she just disappeared. No one could trace her at all.
Severus hadn't lost hope though. He has finally had a breakthrough and the potion is in its last stages. That is why Severus sent Draco to gather these flowers. Draco really wishes that Lily gets well. It seems that she is the sole reason he is alive apart from the fact that he is sure that Lily's daughter is still alive.
He gets out of the bed and walks outside the tent to wash his face, wondering all the while as to why she left. He likes rambling in front of her. At least she listened to him. Apart from Severus he has no-one to talk to and Severus is almost always busy in his lab.
Draco likes the work of making potions but he dislikes the work of gathering the ingredients, mostly because he has to go alone.
When he feels someone looking at him, he turns around. Perhaps he had just imagined the flash because it's only Liz standing near the bushes. There is a leaf on which fruits are kept just in front of her.
He stares for a few moments, stunned. She can't be a normal cat. How can a normal cat collect so many fruits just by herself.
"Meow." She mumbles. She is really very cute. He is glad that she is back. She can accompany him during his hunt for those flowers. He can ramble some more.
"Hey, you brought these for me? How did you do it?" He walks towards he kneels down before asking. She doesn't respond. She only licks her lips and stays frozen.
"I am sure that you are some kind of magical creature. Are you?" He asks and again she doesn't respond.
"I wonder how you can understand me so well. You won't if you are really a normal cat. That implies that you are not a normal cat. What are you called?" Immediately after the words escape his mouth, he realizes that he has committed a big mistake because she starts backing off
"Hey, I am not hurting you." He says alarmed and stands up but she starts running away.
He follows her but bloody hell, she is really fast. His legs are aching by the time he reaches the tree she has climbed. She is curled upon a branch and is staring at the sky.
He sits down on the grass. It's an oak tree and is really very big. He wishes he was a cat too. Perhaps then he could climb the tree and explain her.
How do you explain to a cat that you just want a friend, that even a cat will do because at-least cats don't judge you because of the mistakes that your father has done.
He sits down and spreads his legs in front of him, tired from running. He really should find those flowers and leave because he had brought clothes and supplies for only a couple of days but he thinks that the fruits that she brought will last for another few days.
"I am sorry." He calls her. She doesn't look down. She is only a cat. He knows that he can't expect too much from her.
Still he continues rambling in the hope that she will listen to him, "I won't hurt you, you know. Apart from the fact that you are a very cute little cat, I am a vegetarian. Moreover, I like brewing and do it for my godfather but only because he pays me in exchange. I don't like taking money from father. So I use the ingredients that he has but I don't harm anyone to collect them. I don't want to be a potions master. I think that I want to teach at Hogwarts. I could teach DADA. I am good at dark arts and defense against it so I could impart my knowledge. I am still studying you know."
He rambles and peaks at her. Her face is turned towards him and she is looking at him with her green eyes, her small face on her front paws. She is a beautiful little thing. Why would anyone hurt her at all.
"Severus sent me here to gather Red Ferocia's flowers. he needs them for a potion he has invented to heal his Lily Potter. I-"
"Meow." He hears and Liz climbs down the tree. Startled, he crosses his legs and stares at her. She is standing in front of him now.
"Meow." She mumbles again and he wishes he could understand her but unfortunately, he can't.
"I am sorry I scared you. I am not here to hurt you. I just wanted to be your friend and I was just surprised. You don't need to tell me what you are. It doesn't matter to me. You are a good friend and I really have no friends at all. My father is a bit of bastard you see and they think I am his carbon copy so they don't want to be my friend. I know that I am rambling and maybe you can't understand me at all but all the same, I find it relaxing. I don't have anyone who would just listen to me."
She settles down in front of him, her front paws folded beneath her and looks at him.
"So I was telling you about Lily."
"Meow." She mumbles again and Draco stares at her. What's with her and the name Lily.
"She is Severus's best friend. One unfortunate day, something happened at her place. Her husband lost his life and she was crucioed to insanity. Her daughter Harry Potter has been missing since then."
She is looking at him. Her eyes are frozen at him.
"So, Severus had always loved her and he was trying to find his daughter too but couldn't find her. He has been trying to heal Lily for years now. Finally, he has a breakthrough. I need to collect those flowers for the potion that he has invented for Lily."
Just then his stomach grumbles and he chuckles at her, "I have not had breakfast today. Come on, let's eat those fruits you gathered for us. I bet you are hungry too. All this running is bound to tire you out."
Thank god, she nods a bit and walks beside him as he gets up.
"So, I won't scare you again. Please don't leave again 4like that. I do wish that you can understand me and I have not just gone crazy. After all you are only a cat. Cats are not so intelligent."
She kicks his foot at that and he stares at her. It seems that she is glaring at him. Her face is lifted towards him and he is so very sure that she is glaring at him.
"They are not." He mutters and she kicks his foot with her paws again before mumbling, "Meow." "Meow" and how he wishes he could understand her.
"This has got to be the first time I am teasing someone. It's nice to have a friend. I wish you could talk to me." He murmurs as they resume walking. She doesn't respond to that and he walks ahead, partly sad and partly happy that she is not leaving again. At least he doesn't have to be alone anymore.
He wonders how his family and year mates would react if they see him talking to a cat and eating fruits with her.
She meows in satisfaction and he stores the rest of the fruits in a basket he had brought with him.
"So I will show you a picture of those flowers. Just point out the direction in which I could find them if you can recognize them at all." He murmurs and she nods her little head, standing at the entry way of his tent. He takes out pictures and kneels in front of her before placing the pictures in front of her paws.
