—————————————————————

As you opened your eyes, you noticed the dark haired man in the bed next to you. For a moment, you had forgotten that you had spent the night with Severus. You smiled to yourself. If only this could be every night. You gently placed a kiss on his shoulder.

Yawning, you slinked out of the bed trying not to wake him and grabbed a shirt off the floor. Slipping it over your head, you slowly walked to the small kitchen adjacent to the bedroom.

"I would love some coffee right now." You thought to yourself.

The coffee pot slowly dripped and it's aroma filled the small room. Pouring yourself a cup, you looked back to where Severus still lay in bed. You wondered what exactly he had planned for you today. Luckily, it was a Saturday, so there were no classes to be taught.

You decided to sit on the sofa to drink your coffee. After what felt like an hour, you heard a yawn and a small grumble from the other room.

"Good morning, y/n." He mumbled groggily.

"Good morning, Severus." You smiled back at him.

He also poured a cup of coffee and came over to sit next to you. Sighing heavily, he plopped down.

"Perhaps, today we can focus on your abilities. Maybe we can even get you to transform into and back."

"You really think we will be able to?" You asked him enthusiastically.

He nodded at you around his cup.

You began to get excited. Your ability to transform was so new to you. You couldn't wait to try and figure out how to use it.

As you both finished your cups of coffee, he motioned for you to stand up.

"Now, concentrate on a memory. Preferably a good one, something that will motivate your energy to morph. It can even be one that invigorates you." He smiles at you.

"Okay... let me think."

You tried so hard to find a good memory, but at the moment you couldn't think of one. You wanted this memory to be something special.

"It could be something similar to the memory that helps you produce a patronus. However, it should be something that encourages you to be better at the same time." He interjected into your thoughts.

Something that encourages me to be, better? Hmmm.

Immediately, you thought of how Severus made you feel. Whenever he was around, you wanted to be a better person. You wanted to be the best that you could be, so that you could encourage him also. You always enjoyed bringing a smile to his face.

"I think I've got one." You smiled happily at him.

"Good, now focus. Control your emotions."

As you meditated on this feeling, you once again felt a warmth build up inside you. It was similar to the one you felt when Severus had given you the potion to turn you back into a human. You tried to focus harder, not wanting to screw this up.

Slowly, you began to feel yourself morphing once again. As you opened your eyes, you saw Severus smiling at you. Looking down, you noticed that you had paws again. You looked back up at him and wagged your tail.

"Good! Very good! Impressive, most people don't get it on their first try. Now, try and turn back." He encouraged.

You sat down and closed your eyes. Again, meditating on the emotions you felt for the man before you. Warmth built up inside you again, transforming you back into your human form.
