"And your reflection gave you the stone since you weren't thinking of using it, only recovering it." Nicholas added. "That has to be Dumbledore's idea of secure protection. Only an insane wizard would do such a thing."

"Well it is kind of witty..." Harry began but stopped when the old man shot him a dark look.

"Fine... it was dumb... but seeing your own reflection move independently from you is wicked." Harry admitted.

"Now since you are successful in recovering the stone for me, I have a reward for you... and a request." Nicholas said as he placed a flask filled with silver potion on the desk.

"Really?" Harry perked up, eager to see his reward.

"How far are you with the tome I gave you? I am curious." Nicholas asked.

"I did manage to sprout of fur in my hand... but that's it." The boy who lived said.

"This will accelerate your progress... it's a new invention of mine." Nicholas said. "Within an hour of drinking this you will complete the transformation."

Harry's eyes widened as he looked at the potion with hunger and anticipation in his eyes. "Can I drink it now?"

"Later perhaps... but first you must return your Christmas gift to me Harry. Although I appreciate the thought, the fat lady is not really suited here as she constantly disrupts my work." The Alchemist said.

"Fine... I'll do it right now..." Harry said. "And I think I may have an idea where to put that back. Just make sure you have that potion ready for me, as I really want to see my form."

"What is your form?" Nicholas asked curiously.

"A Jaguar." The boy who lived said proudly.

Professor Quirrell warily looked around and waved his wand to open the door to the third floor corridor. Immediately the defense professor heard the booming barks of the Cerberus and he immediately conjured a harp that started playing soothing notes.

The barking immediately stopped and the large three headed dog slowly drifted to sleep beside the Trap Door. Quirrell grinned in triumph and grabbed the handle of the trap door when a loud piercing shriek made him drop the handle.

"Aaaaa AAAAAAHHHHH!"

CRASH!

The defense Professor immediately straightened up and turned around to look for the source of the sound. Quirrell was dumbstruck as he stared at the portrait of the Fat Lady who wore a caught in the act look on her face while she held a broken wine glass.

"I was practicing... the music from the harp was inspiring..." The Fat Lady giggled. "Look I broke the glass with my marvelous voice."

Quirrel made to draw his wand and incinerate the irritating painting when he felt drops of liquid fall on his neck. He looked up and saw a large jaw filled with large teeth before he felt incredible pain and then passed out.

"AHCKK!"

The Fat lady passed out as she stared at Fluffy's newest chew toy. The Cerberus was happy since its three heads could easily rip apart the limbs unlike the Troll it fought earlier.

"KSSSSSS!"

"Jaguar indeed..." Nicholas struggled not to laugh out loud as it stared at a relatively young black kitten with green eyes.

The kitten snarled cutely as it raised an adorable paw in an attempt to scratch the old man who was sitting behind his desk.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Nicholas let out a deep joyous laugh unable to contain the mirth bubbling deep within him along with Franz the sorting hat.

The kitten narrowed its eyes and leapt to a chair and finally to the desk to confront its tormentors.

"Aw! AW! Harry! Not the thread! I'm a thousand year old magical artifact!" The Sorting hat said as the kitten clawed it. "Nicholas! Help!"

The kitten looked as if it didn't care if the hat was a thousand years old or not as its paws let out tiny sharp claws. It raised the hairs on its back and prepared to pounce when it was suddenly picked up and cuddled.

"OHHH! Nicky! He's sooo cute!" Penny said as she held the struggling kitten on her arms. "Is this Harry? Oh you're so adorable!"

The kitten pushed down its ears in annoyance as it snarled(cutely) at its captor but it soon succumbed to a strange and satisfying sensation as Penny tickled his nape.

"Oh he's purring! Oh isn't that sweet!" Penny giggled.

Nicholas let Harry endure the ministrations of his wife when he soon felt pity for the boy. Perenelle sometimes took things too far and the Master Alchemist waved his wand to reverse the animagus transformation.

"GRRRIIIIIIIRRRRRR"

Harry immediately transformed but he still continued purring while he was still in Penny's arms. His eyes widened and he immediately faded and appeared well out of reach of the woman.

"You still need to learn about changing back... the first transformation is always the hardest." Nicholas said though his lips continued to twitch in amusement.

"I know... I couldn't transform back no matter how hard I tried." Harry said as he scowled at Penny and the sorting hat.

"Well you should be able to do it now, and it gets easier when you get used to it." Nicholas said. "Harry, you... you said you were a Jaguar."

The boy who lived shot the old man a filthy look. "I thought that too,"

"Well let me tell you, you're a very adorable young housecat." Franz added.

Harry turned to the sorting hat. "Do you want to be turned into a ball of yarn?"

"Why don't you practice again Harry, and after that you can go back to Hogwarts. Your friends might be looking for you." Nicholas said , distracting Harry when he saw the boy really meant to deliver the threat.

"Alright... one more try." Harry agreed and he closed his eyes and concentrated. His body suddenly shrunk as black hair sprouted along his face and body, and a moment later a black kitten stood where the young thief was standing a moment ago.

"Meow"

The black kitten stared at its paw as it tested them flexing its claws in and out of its sheath.

"CUUUTEEEE!"

The kitten immediately looked up and its brilliant green eyes widened when it saw the rampaging Penny headed for him. Panicking the kitten ran out of the room, slipping through the crack on the door.

Harry is a cat animagus, and he is a kitten since he is eleven. He'll grow eventually.

Logic behind that ( Harry's young by human standards, and if transformed to a cat, he would be kitty sized.)
