Harry Potter. Hermione X Male Reader Story

Lifetime Bans and Confiscating From Fans

(Y/N)'s POV

I knocked on her door three times, she opened it and pursed her lips "I was expecting you earlier" I rubbed the back of my neck, "Sorry, I had a...thing" she sighed and we set about to complete the final phase of my transformation.

As we headed off into the grounds outside the castle, she cast some spell on us that meant the rain dispersed before it hit us, which I appreciated, then she led me down to the Whomping Willow, it was at this point I realised what the plan was.

As it was illuminated by the lightning, I realised something I had forgotten about. "Errr, Professor. What about my hand?" she squinted for a second and then nodded in understanding, "Don't fret, I will make the necessary changes to my spell once we see your form" I nodded, trusting her to do just that.

We made our way into the shrieking shack and she double checked everything "You are absolutely sure that you have recited the incantation 'Amato Animo Animato Animagus' at every sunrise and sunset since you entered this phase"

I nodded "Got the dark circles under my eyes to prove it" she sighed through her nose as if she was debating even doing this. "Now, I must warn you that if you are wrong or there are any other inconsistencies in the process the ramifications could be disastrous."

"I will ask you to confirm that this is something you want to do before we continue." At that very moment thunder boomed in the distance and the rain started to pelt the shack "How fitting" I thought.

"YES!" I screamed over the noise of the storm outside, she cast another spell and suddenly all the sound of rain hitting the walls stopped, it was a shame, I found it oddly comforting. She handed me the undisturbed vial.

"Are you ready?" She asked, "No, but I'm doing it anyway, but if I turn into a poodle or a giraffe, I'm afraid I'm going to have to Obliviate you Professor, so you don't tell anyone" she smirked "I assure you (L/N), I doubt that will be necessary."

I smiled at her " Well then... Bottoms up" I raised the vial to her and spoke one final time "Amato Animo Animato Animagus." And put the vial to my lips. The potion did not taste nice, though to be fair it was essentially fermented leaf juice and spit, so I don't know what I was expecting.

I choked it down and looked to McGonagall who mimed what to do next to help me. I closed my eyes from disgust of what I just drank, and suddenly an image was rattling around my head, something stalked towards me from the distance.

It was a cat, at first I thought it was Bones, which would have been very odd, but not unexpected. But as it got closer, I realised why I was confused the cat had golden eyes, same as she did, except this cat was a hell of a lot bigger, it was a panther.

When I opened my eyes they were much lower to the ground and a lot sharper, my whole body felt like pins and needles, it was an odd buzzing sensation, like when you fall asleep on your arm.

"Ok, not what I expected, but I'm not complaining, this is bad ass" I tried to say, what came out was a sequence of growls. "See, neither a giraffe, nor a poodle. Well done (L/N)" McGonagall congratulated me.

The moment was unfortunately was ruined by me tumbling over onto my cat face. McGonagall leaned down and tapped my right front paw, leaving a replica of a panther's paw behind that was the same metallic substance as my human hand.

After a surprisingly simple transformation back to my regular self, I spoke again. "To be honest Professor, I was expecting a housecat, like my patronus" she nodded, "As was I, but Animagi often keep traits of their human form when they change" .

I nodded, "Like your cute little cat specs" she seemed to blush. "Yes. It seems you have managed to keep a defining trait of your own" I grinned happily, "My height. Always typecast" I joked, "I was hoping for something a little more inconspicuous, but I'm just happy it worked"
