Chapter-3
A decision
Harry's heart is racing wildly inside her chest because her mother is alive. This is such an incredible news. She wonders if he will help her reunite with her mother. But then again, does she even want to reunite with her mother. Sure, she wants her to get well and live happily with Draco's godfather but she doesn't really want to return.
Initially, she had been excited but now she knows that she is afraid to return back. She has not had a good experience with human beings. They have either been cruel or selfish and have always hurt her. Draco is the first person who has really wanted to be her friend.
If she does return at the end, it will be for Draco, not for her mother.
"Do you know where I can find these? He needs to complete that potion quickly, you know." Draco murmurs and Harry looks at him for a few moments. He is rather nice for a human being.
"Do you?" He mutters impatiently. Harry finds it funny because he is looking at her with creased eyebrows. He really wishes that she could speak. She can see that he regrets her being a cat mostly because she can't speak. Harry has never had a friend. She likes having Draco as a friend. She has seen these flowers. The only problem is that they are in the middle of the river. He will need to swim to get them. She wonders if he knows swimming.
"Meow." She mumbles and nods. His face lits up and his lips upturn in a smile. She wants to smile too but can't. Cats don't smile. SO she just turns around and he starts following her.
"So do you have any friends?" He asks and she shakes her head. She wonders if they look funny. A human talking to a cat who is responding to his questions.
"Why? All right. Stupid question. Cats are not intelligent enough to talk." He teases her and she stops in her tracks before kicking his foot.
"Meow." She mumbles and tries to glare at him because she is not stupid.
He starts chuckling. She kicks him again and again.
"Not intelligent. Cats are really stupid little things." He mutters between his chuckles and she narrows her eyes at him before kicking him hard. He falls down on the grass on his back and she crawls upon his chest and stands on all fours.
"Get off." He mutters. She shakes her head adamantly, trying to convey that he has to take his words back if he wants to walk again.
"All right all right kitty, you are really very intelligent." He says finally and she tries to stare smugly at him. Of course, she fails so she just gets off and starts walking.
"Wait for me." He calls and she just keeps on walking. They still have a long way to go and she for one is quite hungry. The first stop is a place which consists of some trees which bear fruits.

Draco follows her towards an apple tree. She stands beneath it and stares at it before looking at Draco.
Draco doesn't complain because he is really very hungry.
"All right. So let's eat. I am hungry. Didn't have any breakfast. I bet you are hungry too." He mutters and summons a few apples for himself and Liz. After washing them and cutting them into smaller pieces, he sits down and eats his part. Liz eats hers.
"Hey Liz." He says and the cat looks at him.
"Will you come with me when I go back? I will not bind you. We could be friends. I have no friends there you know." He murmurs and it's really strange to request a cat to come with him. She is sitting on the grass on her paws and is looking at him. He can't understand as to what she is really thinking though he wishes that he could.
A few moments later, she continues eating the apples he had cut for her.
"Will you?" He asks again. She looks at him and doesn't respond. She only keeps on looking. He really wishes to know what she is. She isn't a normal cat. Hell, sometimes he wonders if she is a cat at all.
"I will leave as soon as I find those flowers." He says and she freezes.
"That doesn't mean that you should hide the location of those flowers from me. You can just come with me. I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise." He says and she looks at him.
The desire to understand her is so great that he can't resist from muttering, "I wish you could speak. I can't read a cat's face. Severus says that Lily was really a very nice woman and that she got tortured in her daughter's stead. He says that if they won't get the potion ready in a few days, it might get too late to save her at all." He looks down at his apples and starts eating, waiting for her response. She keeps on eating without even glancing at him.
When she doesn't respond, he just keeps on speaking, his fingers plucking the grass, "I like it here. But I can't live forever like this. I know that this is perhaps your natural habitat but I wish you would come with me. We will play with each other and you could have friends at Hogwarts. All the students have pets. I just want to have a friend."
He looks up but she is already gone. The apple has already been finished. Draco stares helplessly at the place she had been sitting just a while back.
"LIZ." He calls. The forest is not safe for a cat. He wonders if there are wild animals in this forest. They might eat her and he really really wants to her to be safe.
Why does she have to run like this.
"LIZ WHERE ARE YOU?" He screams after getting up. Desperate and frightened, he searches the trees but she is nowhere.
He walks back to the place they had been sitting and settles down. Perhaps she will come back. If she does, he should be there for her. He will wait for an hour or so at least.
This in mind, he lays down on the grass, his hands behind his head and stares at the sky wishing that the cat stays safe at least. He is going to scold her this time for running away like this.
XXXX
She knows that this is a very important decision and shouldn't be rushed but she has decided to leave with him. She could always come back of course that is if someone misbehaves with her.
She won't be able to hide there forever but perhaps it will be nice to return with him. She will get to meet her mother and she will help her get well.
So she runs as fast as she can, towards the location of the flowers.

Fifteen minutes later she is back, standing behind the tree, gazing at Draco who is sleeping now. He is nice to look at.
She walks towards him and places the flowers beside him before simply staring at him. She has never felt what she is feeling right now and she can't really define it. He is really very handsome.
Slowly she transforms again.
"Meow." She mumbles and nudges his stomach with her nose.
He wakes up at once and sits up before yelling, "Where had you gone?"
She points her nose towards the flowers. He stares at them and then looks back at her.
"You shouldn't have run away. If you are in a hurry to get rid of me, I'll just leave." He mutters and stands up.
He gathers the flowers and starts walking away. She follows him, mumbling, "Meow" softly.
"Such a bad cat. You scared the shit out of me."
She looks at him and hurries beside him before saying, "Meow." again. She is sorry and she wants to tell him. Of course she can't.
Finally he looks at her and she looks up at him, her eyes apologetic.
"Will you run away again?" He asks and she shakes her head.
"I am not even going to ask about the flowers. I wonder what kind of magical creature you are. I am sure that you are not a normal cat." He murmurs and she looks away, walking straight ahead.
XXXX
Draco is so relieved that she is back. The million dollar question is that whether she will come with him. He has to leave now. He has the flowers and he must hurry. Severus is waiting for him.
" Are you coming with me then? "He asks and waits, full of anticipation.
After a few moments she stops walking and he realizes that they are at his tent.
" Are you? "He asks impatiently and she nods slowly.
He laughs in relief and mutters," Thank you. "
Liz starts walking towards the tent slowly. Draco follows her quietly.
