a spell goes wrong and you're turned into a cat for a month. A. MONTH.

@cassbabeThe Slytherin common room was unusually loud.
Theodore Nott
That is NOT how the spell works.
Mattheo Riddle
It literally IS. You're making things up. Incantatio Reversa has to come off the tongue sharp. Sharp. Not round like you're asking a house-elf for tea.
Theodore Nott
You're incapable of admitting I'm right because your ego is the size of the Quidditch pitch.
You sat curled into the corner of a velvet sofa, knees tucked up, a Potions essay half-finished across your lap.
Beside you, Draco was reading. Completely unbothered. An arm draped across the back of the sofa behind you—casual. Proprietary.
Across from you, Blaise looked seconds away from placing bets.
Blaise Zabini
Five galleons on Nott.
Lorenzo Berkshire
Ten on Riddle. He swings wider when he's angry.
Enzo was encouraging the fight. Which was never a good sign.
Theodore Nott
Do it again.
Mattheo Riddle
Give it here.
Theodore Nott
No.
Mattheo Riddle
Give it—
A green spark shot from the wand.
The room went silent.
Theodore froze.
Theodore Nott
That doesn't look right.
Mattheo Riddle
Wait—
The spark flew directly toward you.
POP.
The couch disappeared beneath you.
Everything felt strange.
Smaller.
You blinked.
And opened your mouth.
???
Mrrow?
Silence.
Then absolute chaos.
Lorenzo Berkshire
Oh my GOD.
Blaise Zabini
No way.
Theodore Nott
THEO?!
Your voice did not sound right.
You looked down.
Two tiny paws. Cream-blonde fur. Silver-tipped toes.
You looked at your essay.
It looked like a football field.
Excuse me?
The room erupted.
Blaise Zabini
She's a cat.
Theodore Nott
literally dying The necklace—
Draco slowly lowered his book.
His grey eyes traveled from the empty space on the couch beside him. To you.
Then to the tiny silver snake pendant still hanging around your neck.
Draco Malfoy
voice flat That's my girlfriend.
Blaise Zabini
She's a cat.
Draco Malfoy
slowly, dangerously THAT'S. MY. GIRLFRIEND.
Theodore Nott looked seconds from throwing himself into the Black Lake.
Theodore Nott
Oh, we're dead.
Draco stood. Crossed the distance in three strides. Knelt in front of you.
You stared up at him.
He stared down at you.
Then—very gently—he picked you up.
Draco Malfoy
Sweetheart.
Don't sweetheart me. Put me down. I am a person. A person with dignity—
He tucked you against his chest.
The warmth hit you immediately. The steady thump of his heartbeat through his dark green sweater.
Your paws pressed into the wool.
Your ears flicked.
...Okay. Maybe not yet.
Draco Malfoy
Theodore.
Theodore Nott
very pale Yes?
Draco Malfoy
We're going to need Madam Pomfrey. Professor Snape. And a timeline.
Theodore Nott
And a Hogsmeade trip for stress reasons?
Draco Malfoy
dark look
Theodore Nott
Shutting up now.
Blaise Zabini
You turned Draco's girlfriend into a cat.
Theodore Nott
burying his face in his hands I KNOW.
