Unfit

Chapter 11

It was only a couple hours after Ana arrived back at the townhouse with Harry that they were all called down for dinner. The walk down was filled with high spirits even after the information that got dumped on them. Harry was thankfully surrounded by those that believed in him but also believed he shouldn't have to do this but they won't step back and let him go through it alone. That is why Ana told all of them, Harry's connection to the younger Weasley's and Miss Granger are what will help him come out on the other end of this.

Before they all traveled down, Harry decided that he was going to change into one of his new outfits. Just to get out of the old clothes he was wearing. The act itself made all of his friends smile with him when he came out in his new clothes. They were on the punk rock side of style. But he also had normal casual and many other styles to choose from because he doesn't really know what he likes yet.

"You know who he reminds me of?" Remus questioned as they were walking down the stairs.

"Sirius at 16," Ana chimed before Sirius could even think about feigning innocence. "But I do think Sirius would still look good in that style, if he went shopping that is."

"Are you forgetting that I'm a known criminal in both the wizarding world and the mundane world?"

"Did you forget that you are a wizard that can wear a glamour in the mundane world to not be detected? I didn't realize that spending so much time as a dog would affect your intelligence," she joked.

"Oh, and you spending your extra time as a large cat is supposed to make you smarter?"

"I specifically remember that time you spent in school wandering around making a petition with the other cats in Hogwarts to try to get Severus removed for not being liked amongst the castles cat population?"

"That was genius, and none of the cats in the castle at that time denied it. I'm pretty sure one of the those cats was Minerva, not that she would admit that. I earned respect in the feline community for that," Ana tried justifying her past actions. She was only 15 at the time, but for a 15 year old it was genius. Most of everyone found it funny when it got published. With all of the paw prints of every cat in the castle, Severus was not liked amongst the cats because he was always kicking them away or spiting terrible words at them. You would think that if he didn't like a certain animal that he would just pretend that they didn't exist.

"Had it been anyone else they would have been sent home for a week, but not you. That was very cleverly executed, no one even knew who did it."

"Then how did you guys?" Ron asked Remus and Sirius.

"We knew she would do something, not what she would do. But one day, we were using an old classroom so we all could hang out together during the weekend and she comes bursting in fuming mad. Ranting about how she saw Snivellus toss one of the younger Hufflepuffs cats out of one of the open castle windows. Luckily it wasn't a higher up floor, so the cat was fine. But she had started watching him all day from the shadows after that and witnessed him kick Mrs. Norris and fling a seventh year Gryffindors kitten towards a wall. She stopped it from hitting the wall, but she was fuming. James knew that she wouldn't let it go, and we all waited to see the impending doom of Snivellus before seeing if we should do anything." As Sirius was relaying the tale to them they had made it to the kitchen and were sitting down. So the story was basically being told to everyone staying at there.

"It only took her a day of tracking down all of the cats on Hogwarts grounds and getting them to place their paw print on the parchment she put the petition on. Even Mrs. Norris did, I was there for that one. Quite amusing. Especially when presented to the entire student body as an official petition from the cats, it was the first and last time I saw all of the cats in one place. Not to mention that the petition had those counts that Ana witnessed listed as reasons for the making of the petition, let's just say Severus got hexed a lot more that year because he had any cat owner in the castle turn on him. Even Filch, who is obviously hateful towards most students was extra descriptive of torture ideas for Severus when he lost 100 points and gained detention with Filch for a month. All from our favorite Transfiguration Professor. It turned out better than any prank we could have pulled on him," Remus finished off the story. It was dead silence with everyone looking at Ana until she said,
