The Werewolf and The Monster

Chapter 20 - Announcement

Pandora stalked in, Her paw pads gracing the ground as she walked down the centre of the main hall, Everyone was already there and she was alittle bit late. But better to be fashionably late then early. She decided to take the form of an Asian Golden Cat, but her usual black colours running through her fur. When the sunlight hits her fur, different shades reveal her pattern from the species she decided to take. Her gaze flickered up at the teachers table. 

"Nice of you to join us for the feast Pandora." Albus said amused while standing in front of his podium. Pandora just glared at him with a roll of her eyes as a smile tugs on her muzzle. She approached the Teachers Table and slinking underneath before jumping into the arms of Hagrid. Purring softly.

"Aw 'Ello Pandora." He smiled and gently pet her head with a finger. 

Albus smiled and cleared his throat. "As you all may know, Along with the dementors. We have a new protector of the school. Pandora here!" He stated, waving his hand in her direction. 

"Your expecting a small flea covered vermin to protect us?" A Slytherin sneered. She sat rather close to Malfoy, Clinging to his arm. Malfoy very quickly shoved her off and tried to hush her. Pandora simply jumped off Hagrid's lap and approached the table. 

She bent her hind legs and leaped onto the table, But during her jump her form shifted into her large tiger form. The Slytherin's eyes widened and she sat up slightly. Fear flickering through her eyes at the now large black tiger stalking her way towards her.

Pandora snarled and bared her teeth with grunts and growls towards some Slytherins she's seen being nasty to other students. She glared down the Slytherin and stood in front of her, baring her teeth and snarling. Albus watching with his wand out cautiously.

She lied down, her fur pressing against the table and the whole room his deathly silent. Her body shifted and glared at her, putting her head in her hands and staring into the eyes of the Slytherin girl in front of her.

"What is your name Slytherin?" She questioned, sitting up crossed legs, putting her hands in her lap.

"P...Parkinson..." She stuttered out before straightening her back. "Pansy Parkinson." She confirmed, confidence and mockery lacing her tone. Pandora simply clicked her tongue and looked her up and down before locking eyes with her. 

"You remind me of a certain type of dog." She begins to click her fingers as she thinks. "Short muzzled, wrinkly, small." 

"French bulldog?" A random Slytherin spoke up next to her, receiving a glare from Pansy.

"No but I do see the resemblance, good guess." She stared hard at the girl in front of her. "A Pug! Thats it. A Pug, Small hideous yappy little animals." The great hall erupted into fits of giggles and snickers.

"I beg your pardon?!" She shrieked, standing up and drawing her wand, pointing it at the small grim-reaper.

"Beg as much as you want Pugsy, Won't change facts." Pandora purred with a smug grin, Putting the tip of her finger on Pansy's wand and lowering it for her. "Also it wouldn't be in your best interest to draw your wand to a Grim-Reaper of all creatures. Foolish girl." 

The room erupted into laughter as Pansy quickly stormed out flustered. "Bloody Twat." She grumbled as she stood up on the table, turning to Albus. "You can continue your speech. Apologises she interrupted you." Pandora smiled and dropped to the seat Pansy was just on before moving to the ground, approaching Hagrid once again and shifting into her previous Asian Golden Cat form and sitting on the table, staring out to the student body.

Albus simply nodded and turned back to them. "As you have witnessed, They have sharp tongues and rarely caught off guard with arguments, Pandora especially. Grim-Reapers are incredibly powerful creatures and will protect whatever resides within their territory. So that means Pandora here will protect you while you are at Hogwarts, She will protect you from anything, Whether it be a wild animal or another Grim-Reaper, But as soon as she sees you as a threat, She'll attack you." He smiles down at the students who are gaping in shock and awe at her. "Grim-reapers are naturally cold and ruthless and while follow orders, If they find you as a massive threat, they'll ignore the orders given and get rid of you, whether it be chasing you off of their territory or kill you. They won't care if you'll be begging on your knees for mercy. Do not get on the wrong side of a Grim-Reaper."

Harry looked at Hermione nervously before returning his gaze to Albus. 

"She will protect you until she sees you as a threat. Do not give her a reason to."

Pandora looked at Albus and climbed onto Minerva's lap, purring as she ran her hand over her head.
