Pets Slytherin House
Chapter 9: That old Familiar feeling

"Did you say something?: Theo asked turning his head to

looking at Draco who was dressed behind him.

"Um not why?" Draco asked confusedly.

"Just checking" Theo said, giving his friend a smile

as she grabs Harry and walks out of the room before leaving the dormitory

Slytherin without the others. Heading into the empty classroom Theo closes

the door and put Harry on the table. "So, are you the

speak Vilu?" Theo asked to take a seat at the table

and stroked Harry's back. Harry had to think quickly of an excuse

why Theo could now understand him without revealing his true identity

or Lady Magic's involvement. Suddenly an idea came to his mind

made him smile at himself.

"I've been comfortable enough with you and a bond has formed

so that I can think of you as my human familiar if it can be you

agree," said Harry trying to sound as official as possible.

"How old are you?" Theo asks Harry

realising his mistake when he remembered that Snape had declared that he had

considered a baby by Kitsune standards.

"According to human measurements, I was fifty-two

season." Harry said do some quick math because

as a magical being he should not understand the concept of years,

"So that means, give me a minute, oh we

age," Theo said with a smile on him. Harry had to smile

a little when she sits leaning against the thighs that wrap her tail around

around his feet as he stared at Theo.

"If you say so humanly, are you willing

become my magical Familiar?" Harry asked, tilting his head and

biting the inside of her cheek to stop herself from laughing.

"I would be honored to consider Vilu

You are already known ... if you don't mind who the real name is.

You?" Theo reached out and clawed Harry downstairs

his chin.

"Um Vilu is right for now" said Harry

while scratching the side of his face with claws. "Also while I

really trust your human package, only to you I deliver

this offer is so that only you can understand my speech," said

Harrys. "What do you call a human name?" her

asked while tilting his head as if astonished.

"Oh sorry, I don't think I ever really

introducing myself. My name is Theodore Nott but my friends called and

you can call me Theo" Theo said almost to Harry's upper laugh

his formality and gave him the idea to have fun again.

"Ah, nice to meet you Theo-human, now

what was the name of her who had white hair and a taller dark-skinned human

from herd?" Harry asked seeing Theo chuckle at the

his description of the others.

"Well, that has fur, which we call hair

by the way, it's Draco, while the other one's Blaise,"

said Theo.

"Thank you for the information but you have to understand

that there are some Theo-human rules that you should tell people

another that you can understand I'm even a member of your group of that,"

said Harry.

"Alright Vilu and you can leave the humans and

just call me Theo" Theo said.

"But one name for a sibling" said Harry

laughing heartily at how funny Theo was.

"What's the difference between a sibling and a bond

familiar?" Theo asked.

"I can't say" said Harry, noticing him

not lying to that question.

"Why not?" Theo asked.

"Um, my ancestors died when I was young,

about four seasons of give or take and I was raised by a few

a normal fox," said Harry involuntarily hissing as he thought

the Dursleys.

"Um this may be a bad topic but when I

finding you you're in bad shape how could that be

happened?" Theo asked.

"The fox did not understand the difference between the Kitsune and the fox

it's normal and therefore a bit rude to raise me" Harry said

light although it could not stop its fur from standing up.

"I understand," said Theo, though not, but

seeing Vilu's reaction to the line of thought and deciding to

cancel it and let Vilu tell him if or when

ready. "How about finding something to eat?" Theos

asking to switch topics.

"Yes, that sounds like a good idea" Harry said

what Theo did and thank you for it. "Although I

it should show that you forgot the strange conveyance," said Harry

causing Theo to blush a little.

"Do you want to go back or straight away

breakfast?" Theo asked.

"If this breakfast is where the food is, let's go

go," said Harry got up and jumped off the table and headed to the

doorway. "Well, you came Theo?" he asked to turn around

looking over his shoulder while wagging his tail playfully at

behind him.

"Alright, I'll come" Theo said with a chuckle

as he got up and bowed to lift Vilu up and headed outside the door.

"Where did you run?" Draco asked when Theo arrived

tabletop.

"Just some more research" Theo answered

Harry laughed at him because he knew because of the time he spent together

they, Draco will believe it.

"And what's so important that you forget

this is?" Blaise asked while holding the Vilu bearer.

"I get a little inspiration at night about

why is Vilu so fascinated with me" Theo said.

"And what did you find?" Fred said when

he and George sat across from them. Harry's character must remain un

knowing the names of the twins.

"A funny red-haired man" Harry said as he

walk up to the couple while lifting his chin so that it can be scratched.

"What's so funny Theo?" Draco asked when Theo

he began to chuckle at what he heard Harry call the twins.

"Just think about what I found during the study

i, it seems that Vilu got carried away with me because of the familiar bond that began

growing up" Theo said, surprised everyone,

"Are you sure it's very rare?" Ask

Draco.

"Yeah, sure enough," Theo said with a wink

at Harry who could only roll his eyes before taking a little meat

smoke from one of the plates before he walks into Theo and goes up to the child's shoulder

the tall man and curled up. "How else are you

explaining when he was acting like this," Theo asked as the tail

Harry played around Theo's neck almost teasingly.

Grimacing near Theo's ear, Harry whispered, "What a name

from the twin red feathers and the blonde haired woman who brought me to the group

the older one last month?"

Theo thought how best to answer the question

while keeping his new abilities a secret as he patted Vilu's head. While

smiling she turned her head directly to George's face and asked, "So George

how and you and Fred found him as Slytherin?"

"It's okay even though we do miss the Quidditch,

Marcus told us that Beater had been selected and it was too late for us

we're to replace them" George said as Fred circled

his arms on his twin shoulders and leaning against her.

"By the way about Quidditch, how Wood doesn't

just take over your house but also the lost Potter?" Draco

asked as Harry got up after completely forgetting the Quidditch because

"Well as can be guessed by no good he should

conducting a series of trials to replace us and asking for

the opportunity to coach a new team that leads to the first match between

Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff" George said as he patted Fred's head before

feed.he's a little toast.

"Also there's been a pretty big change in our class,"

said Fred.

"Today's class will be interesting" Luna said as she

sitting next to Blaise grabbed to pat Harry on the head.

"Why did you say it was Luna?" Theo asked

turned to the girl to answer Vilu's question about her name

preceding.

"I've probably heard more than Professor Lupin

has decided to change his lesson today from Hinkypunks to

Kitsunes so he can help the students better in

understanding Vilu," Luna said as she scratched past Blaise to scratch

harry's ear.

"Well, maybe it'll make Granger relax at least

wait a minute" said Blaise.

"A great opportunity" said the twins and Harry

concomitantly.

"It takes more than one answer for him to

relax, maybe a calming draft for years will

it works," said George, making everyone laugh.

"Wait for you to say a lesson like in more than

one," said Draco wiping tears from his eyes from laughter.

"It looks like Professor Lupin also spoke to Hagrid

who agreed to switch from flubber worm to Kitsunes briefly too,"

Luna explained.

"I hope he does better with Kitsunes

than he did with the Hippogriff," Draco said as he rubbed

his right arm was involuntarily where Buckbeak had slashed at him.

"Well we'll find out tomorrow, but today

at least we can tell if Professor Lupin found anything

more than Theo found," said Blaise.

smile as they claim the usual seat taken by "Trio

The gold". Harry sat quietly on the table waiting for the class to start looking

does the Professor have any new information about his current form rather than what

which he had heard from Theo to the others. Seeing it so focused, Theo

bowing and whispering in his ear, "You want to learn about the species

Vilu you?" Harry could only nod as Theo pulled him closer

and hugged him in his chest when he saw Weasley and Granger go into the room

and stared at the Slytherin group with a bad look as it took place

normalised them.

"What are you snakes and your pet rats doing in a chair

us," said Ron stomping to confront them.

"I asked them to take that chair for

helping with today's lesson," Remus lied as he walked out of the room

back with hands full of books. This surprised everyone because

not many teachers were siding with Slytherin against the Golden trio's well duo now,

but here there is a former Gryffindor who lied for them. Hermione

trusting his statement as he dragged Ron a few rows back to

took a few seats as Remus approached Theo and

Harrys. "I assume that you were told about the day lesson

it's based on your choice of seat" the man said slowly so

only the three boys could hear it.

"Yes, sir," said Theo letting Harry go while remaining

hold Harry's back.

"Do you mind if I use Vilu during

a lesson?" Remus asked.

"If he wants to," Theo said as Remus held out

his hand was for Harry to sniff it. As soon as he smelled the man's scent, he

feeling at home as if she was expecting her parents

filled all of him. He was so lost because of the scent that made him

Professor and wrapped himself around the man's shoulder. "It seems he is

mau," said Theo slightly surprised at having never seen Vilu so

getting close to someone so fast. Draco looked like he was biting

his tongue was to prevent himself from saying anything as he looked at Vilu

rubbing himself on someone, told by his godfather,

he was a Werewolf. Harry could not understand why the man had the scent

she wondered if the man knew anyone

his old age because with every sniff his mind would be flooded with sights

people he knew from his parents' photo album.

"I hope the lesson is informative" Remus said

release Harry to his shoulder and return him to Theo. When scents

Professor Lupin left, Harry whining a little.

"Everything okay, Vilu?" Theo asked

unwilling to bother hiding the question because of Draco and Blaise as well

sending Kitsune a worried look at that whimper.

"It sounds like my lost home, but how I

can you remember it after all this time and why?" Harry said

gently.

"Rest now, Vilu, I think so class

starting out, you're gonna feel too much" Theo said as a friend

their classmates arrived and took their seats some were surprised to see

change of seat of three Slytherins and two Gryffindors.

"Well, I've been planning to move to Hinkypunks

but because of our recent visitor to Hogwarts, I thought I would

do the lessons in Kitsunes," Remus said as everyone took

their seats. "To begin with in addition to their coloring, what

distinguish Kitsune from normal fox?" he was put into

classs. As expected, only Draco, Blaise and Theo were

raising their hands which surprised some students saw Hermione did not

try to answer as usual.

"Kitsune has an equivalent or greater intelligence

from humans and able to understand human speech," Blaise said.

"As you get older, Kitsune will grow more

lots of tails," Draco added as soon as he was told to share.

"Is there anything else that's really good?" Remus asked

Kitsunes who can initiate a familiar bond with the Magic Users who let

users can understand it.

"Yes they can make wounds that cannot be healed

by Magic," replied Ron

"That's partly true Mr. Weasley it all depends on

the age of the Kitsune and their tribe comes from some injuries it can actually

poisoning someone leaves them paralyzed or even dead" he said

Remus and looking at the faces of Ron and Hermione were surprised to be happy that Ginny was not

affected by one of these injuries. "Okay, maybe a fact

furthermore this is a bit difficult to know in the short time that you

spend it with him" said Remus, smiling at his son and the third

Slytherins. "It is said that Kitsune is capable of performing magic spells such as

Witch or Witch" said Remus, surprising everyone but Harry,

Theo, Blaise, and Draco are already aware of it, and have even seen it

Harry did some little spells. . "Heir Nott, do you mind

if I see if young Vilu is old enough to cast a spell?" Remus

inquiring.

"What do you think Vilu is ready to try?" Theos

asking while looking at him got an enthusiastic nod from the green fox who

makes some people laugh. Remus extended his arm letting Harry

climb back up and walk to his desk before putting his son in

so that the whole class can see it. Remus then slowly

take out his cane and point it at him make Theo and

his friends tensed up for a moment before seeing Vilu not even being seen

apprehensive. Thought he might as well act like a semi-wild beast he was

it looked like Harry lifted his face to the end of the magic wand and licked it

it caused some students to chuckle and Remus smiled at him. When he

licking his magic wand, his mind was filled with more images

from what seems to be the past the stick is used for

making multi-colored bubbles for a boy.entertainment. He was taken

out of his mind as he felt a wave of magic coming out from the wand

in the spell the man cast as Harry acted on instinct

and create a bubble like from memory to wrap itself around

for protection. When any spell hits the bubble it disappears

causing sounds of shock from the classroom while Harry shifts

his head to look around the bubble before smiling at the

His professor.

"A very good boy .... I mean Vilu," said Remus

while thinking of Harry quickly on non-verbal spells. "Yes Miss

A granger?" tanyanya saw the girl raise her hand from

his chair.

"How can it block your spell even before you

say it?" Hermione asked.

"All of you

see Vilu lick his stick properly?" He asked and accepted

the continued nod of "Kitsunes is said to be able to feel the magic of a person

even if they only met them once even if it was only after

they're born. All Kitsune needs to do is to pick up the scent of the creature

to remember all past experiences with an individual. This too

it can be achieved if Kitsune licks the end of the wand of a Magic user like the one

just done Vilu. " There was a voice of astonishment that was shocked over the news

from the students as Harry wonders what his past is for this man.

"Now there are also more complex topics than Kitsune uses

sorceries. To be safe I would throw invisibility around myself and

Vilu during the next bit," Remus says adjusts the action to

words as a clear bubble surround the teacher's desk and partner

so that students can see and hear what is going on but not

will be hit by a stray spell. "Well Vilu a Kitsune use tail or

the tail is like a human using a stick" Remus said as he twisted

his wand was on his fingers in front of his son's face. By tilting

his head, Harry willed his green fox tail up and moved it

just like he did to his wand when he chanted the first spell

which crossed his mind. There's some gasp as Lumosdia

throwing creates a ball of light floating above its tail as it

the inspirational mind uses its tail to wrap the ball slightly to

found it solid as a lantern. When he felt the ball of light not break

on his tail, Harry threw him into the air and without intending to start

juggling him forget the class until they start clapping. That voice

his surprise made him break his concentration and caused the ball to fall

and about his nose. With a little annoyance Harry hit the ball away and

sending it unintentionally towards Remus whose face looked surprised and

swooping out as the ball flew past and hit the bubble. Yang

to Harry's surprise, the ball exploded in a bubble as if it were one

mini mini bangs that Dudley would sometimes buy. "It was almost like

you've just seen Kitsune who can't be influenced by her spell

alone but it is best to avoid the spell itself, "said

Remus while taking out a worn handkerchief and wiping the sweet from the

his eyebrows.

"Professor, does it make them dangerous to be

around around? ' Hermione asked without bothering to wait when called

this time.

"Not more dangerous than most small magical creatures

Miss Granger. Kitsune's ability to cast spells is like a cat's claw

when used to defend themselves and their herd.

"Sir Professor?" Theo asked.

"Yes, Kitsunes are social creatures who prefer what

called Packages of various sizes. Some sources I found

the Kitsune Package found in Japan that has more

of the two hundred members in it," said Professor Remus.

"Does the size of a pack indicate any indication,

Professor?" Pansy asked while thinking that Vilu had been found

completely alone with no sign of the other Kitsunes around Hogwarts alike

once.

"No need for one Kitsune to be out looking for a partner or

if someone as young as Vilu was here, he could have been forced out by

change in leadership or be abandoned for his health or safety

alone," said Remus.

"How can you tell the difference between male Kitsunes and

the lady?" Crabbe asked.

"Now

I will leave that question to Professor Hagrid, who will also

discuss Kitsunes in its own lessons if you don't take classes

that, I will still ask him," Remus replied with a smile

for not wanting to put his son through it in front of everyone. Subsequent to

more questions, Harry is handed back to Theo when Professor

Lupin began to talk about the history of Kitsune from the point of view of a man

sorceress. At the end of the lesson, Remus, like his normal style, gives points

classes to answer questions but also in some cases on

the questions they ask. Theo, Draco, Blaise out of class with

shocked to never get so many points from a Professor,

other than Snape, after obtaining a total of fifty points between them. Harry

just glad he could perform even more powerful magic back then

that night Harry entertained the whole house of Slytherin as he

conjure up some low-powered light spells, so as not to injure anyone

if they stay away from him. Theo and the others also warned the house

it was to not touch the magic ball. Harry has also learned he can

cancelling spells using simpleMantra is limited to

the ball so he doesn't have to worry about it blurring and hurting someone.

Through this Harry has made a small play by calling Lumos who

more robust right when Snape walks into the room for weekly study sessions and

throw the ball at the man just to undo it just one foot away

that guy's. He also learned that other people cannot influence the ball

because some older students use some equipment

protection try to play a game catch with the ball when

they tried to use the hovering spell to cast the spell back

just to have their spells disappear just like Lupin did against

harry's shield he made in class that made him undo the spell

before someone gets hurt. Decided then to call it a night so that he

not careless and accidentally injuring someone, Harry rushes into the

third-year male dormitory and plunge into his lair.

"It's okay Vilu nobody gets hurt" Theo said

arriving and without warning pulls Harry into his lap and begins to move

his hand comfortably against Harry's back.

"I was too careless so I could hurt

someone," said Harry annoyed at himself for his actions

careless.

"Ah but you acted on time so it wasn't

it happened," Theo said and seeing it didn't work to pull Harry inside

hugs.

"I hate anyone who gets hurt especially by

my hand," said Harry as close as possible to Kitsune to crying in

shoulder Theo.

"Don't you mean claws?" Theo said with a touch

humor tries to lighten the mood and calm Vilu.

"Yes claws" said Harry, letting out a shy laugh

surprised that he made such a clear mistake.

"Do you want to sleep with me tonight to

comfort?" Theo asked.

"Nnn-no," said Harry feeling as if

still a complete human being, he would blush his entire body at that suggestion.

"Alright Vilu but the offer remains open whenever you

want to join me," Theo said as he lowered it as he

start getting ready for bed. Harry only knows that if Theo knows him

the offer will not even be considered. Feel sad

thinking Harry accepted the offer to see Theo getting ready for bed

for the first time. Admire the shape of the lean muscle of boys

that's. Although when Theo started changing her underwear quickly

throwing his face away as he was not ready for the sight, as he buried

his head to his claws in shame and courage.

Harry finds that Hagrid's lessons in Kitsunes are lacking

informative compared to Professor Lupin's lessons. He made sure to stay

close to Theo in case anyone asks how to tell

the sex of Kitsunes again and Hagrid decides to use him as

live example. If that happened, he would protect himself with magic

if he had to do it, otherwise he wouldn't have left Theo's shoulder.

Grateful he did when the question was asked and Hagrid grabbed it

Harry growled at him in anger his fur stood on edge until Hagrid

moving hand. Theo had to laugh understanding a little bit about why Vilu

don't want to show off like that. Hagrid's lesson is about taking care of Kitsune

but since Harry was currently Kitsune himself, he ignored the whole

the class that actually fell asleep on the shoulder of another boy.When he woke up

back, Harry finds himself in Draco's arms with a face on

the blonde man's chest. "Draco?" Harry wondered at

where Theo was as he looked around.

"Halo Vilu, Theo decided to talk to Hagrid

about something he refused to tell me and Blaise,"

said Draco. "Do you know what that is about?" Draco asked

whisper conspiracy.

"Sure he wants to know how you take care of all your hair

stay in place despite being windy" Harry jokingly learned that

Draco won't understand it.

"Yes, maybe it is," said Draco nodding his head

as if she knew what Harry was saying made Harry laugh softly at her.

Even though he was starting to like Draco and the other Slytherins, he couldn't help but

try to tempt Draco at least once a day. "I hope he's soon

come by. I have to practice" Draco told himself. Harry

eager to see how Slytherin cooperates and wonders

marcus is a tougher captain than Oliver. Let go

his body, Harry placed his claws on Draco's shoulders while looking at the silver eyes

the blonde screamed as she begged to go practice. "I

don't know when he'll be back don't worry" Draco said

harry's back made Harry pout at him. "Now don't give me a look

like that Vilu, I can't make it back any more

hurry." hurry."Getting the idea to convey his point Harry raised

tail and use spell spells to make sticks on adult flies

around Draco's head before adding six other sticks and making them

fly in a formation that the winning team flies around the field afterwards.

matchment. "You want to watch us play Quidditch?" Ask

Draco.

"Yes at last" said Harry with a nod of his head.

"If you want to see it, I'll tell Theo to

take you to the game this weekend," Draco said to Harry

panting, but at least it was a Quidditch.

Harry regretted his desire to see the match

came on the weekend because it turned out to be a bit windy. Make it

glad that he's stuck in Kitsune's form rather than having to play inside

this storm. Also as an added bonus to make sure he stays warm and

dry Theo had placed him inside his robe so that only Harry's face was

peeked. Harry inevitably wagged his tail to be comfortable and

the warmth that would sometimes make Theo laugh when the soft fur was

stroking his underwear. Theo was shocked during the match because Vilu was going to be

complained about how bad the performances of both teams seemed to have been

a good understanding of the game makes Slytherin high

wondering how long Kitsune has been in the field without being found.

Because it seems neither of the two seekers, nor Harry for that matter, are there,

I could see the information because of the heavy rain.

There was suddenly a movement through the storm as the two seekers started

fly over the field after a ball that usually wins the game and

illusory. As Theo and the others watched the two seekers fly away

chasing the ball, Harry's body stiffened as he felt a cold flood

overreaching into his system and he starts hearing voices in his head

like he did on the train when the Dementors went upstairs. Knowing what

as things stand, Harry uses his magic to try to create a shield

the biggest he can. There was a gasp of shock as the checkered bubble

large pink and green colors surround the field withstanding the rain. However,

Harry had acted too late because from the sky a shape seemed to fall

like a meteor right in the middle of the field. No one wants to get hurt and

with his eyes shaky, Harry raised his tail as he took a breath

deep as he exited Theo's cloak, and cast a drifting spell

on the falls from slowing them down so they don't get hurt while

disembarking.

"Vilu," Theo said his voice was full of worry

when Harry starts to falter due to two powerful spells that are on him as the Seeker

the one that fell down was only one story from the field, he couldn't hold it any longer when

he fainted. canceling both spells at once.
