Chapter 1

The ever soothing noise that is MSI (Mindless Self Indulgance) thrummed agsint his eardrums, a soft breeze filtered through the bar encased window and tickled the raven haird boy's skin as he lay on the bed in the corner of the mostly empty room. The only problem was the fact that the bed was more of a ridiculously thin mattress that was placed on a pile of wood and nails that had the nerve to call itslef a bedframe. Coupled with the ach of a loose spring digging into his lower back and the fact that he was at his uncles house instead of school, only served to make one Harry Potter a rather grumpy adolecant wizard. There was a soft scrape agsin the floor that caused the boy to crack open an annoyed jade green eye, that landed on a meeger bowl of rice and tuna that rested infront of the catflap in the bottom half of his door. With a sigh the mass of skin and bones rose from his screaming wooden death trap of a bed and made his way to the bowl with two strides of his long legs. After a short investigation of the meeger meal Harry tilted back his head, opened his mouth, and poured the dry food down his throat, needless to say it was far from satisfying.

Over the summer Harry's hair had grown a bit longer and wasn't as wild any more, but still disorderly, the boy had also lost a great deal of weight too, now looking as if he was nothing more than pale skin stretched over a gangely skeleton. Long hands that any pianist would envy streched above a mop of black hair as he arched his back, making it pop severle times in succesion. Sighing he moved to lean against the window frame, glancing at the empty bird cage that sat on his desk. Much to Harry's dissapapointment Hedwig had long since died, but he wasn't completely alone, not too long after the snowy owl died a black cat began to visit the boy. Harry gazzed out at the slowly setting sun wishing that he was back at school when he felt somthing cold, damp, and fluffy press agsint his hand, apon looking down he saw his new companion.

"Hello Kasumi." he stated, gently scratching the black cat behind her ears, Kasumi purred and leaned against Harry's hand.

"Mrow" she said, before gently biting his hand and bounding silently on to the floor. Kasumi looked around her surroundings and sneered as well as a cat could before leaping onto the bed and washing herself. Harry smiled adn sat down beside the blackfurred beauty, slowly petting her after she finished her cleaning.

"I can't wait till we can get out of here Kasumi, you will love it at Hogwarts, ther will be all the mice you can eat." He laughed softly and continued stroking his freind. Kasumi purred contently and leaned into Harry's hand as he petted her and slowly scratched her ears, in the hall a clock ticked. As he pet the cat at his side his eye grew heavy, he took off his glasses and laid down on the supposable bed, looking at the cat who had found herself on his chest.

"Neeh Kasumi, why do I suddenly feel so sleepy?" The cat smirked, or at least seemed too as Harry's eyelids fluttered shut and he was pulled into the world of sleep.

------------LineBreaker

As Harry's eyes opened they were met with silver moon beams that slanted through the window and bathed both Kasumi and himself in light. He sat up and rubbed the last bit of sleep from his eyes before turning to and picking up Kasumi wich was curled in a ball next to his hip.

"Kasumi, how long have been asleep?" he asked, gentaly cradling the cat agsint his bare chest who in turn just looked up at him and mewled with false innocents pouring from her eyes.

"Neh, Kasumi why are you looking at me like that?" the cat didn't respond to the boy but simpily leped out of his arms, landing gracefully on the floor where she continued to stare at the boy, her tail swishing aginst the floor in time with the clock that ticked n the hall way. Harry arched an eyebrow and looked down at the couriose cat with a puzzled expression on his elfin featured face.

"What are you doing you silly cat?" he questioned after a few minuets of suffering from the cat's intense gaze, the clock in the hall chimed in the arrival of mid night and Harry felt something stirring in his stomach. The stirring in his stomach was quickly replaced by a tingling numb feeling that spread throughout his body, it felt as if his entire being had fallen asleep.

"K.. kasum.. kasumi, wha.. whats hap..happeni.." vilont tremors of pain rushed through his body, making him lerch forward to curl upon himself and fall from the bed with a loud thump. Another tremor racked the boy's slender frame, makining it nessecary for him to bite into his hand to stiffle an ear-peircing screech thtat threatened to escape him. Blood dripped onto the floor from his wounded apendage as he continued to abuse it with his teeth so as to stiffle the screams that whelled within him now, coming out in loud whimpers. Another wave of pain washed over him, it fellt as if something had grabbed his spine and was pulling it, trying to rip it from his body. He felt not only his spine being manipulated but also the rest of they bones in his body, they wer being pushed and pulled fromm all sides making him feel as if he were being crushed. A yelp escaped his blood coated lips as four, now, needle sharp teeth sank into the already bleeding hand, by now Harry had become acustomed to the pain that was coursing through his body and he barely felt the tugging of his ears and scalp.

The pain started to ebb away leaving nothing but a dull ach behind, Harry lay there now with his eyes closed, panting and covered in sweat, something soft pressed asgsin his cheek, Kasumi. The cat gently but firmly pushed her head against his, he opened his eyes a bit and looked into the glowing yellow orbs that were Kasumi's eyes. Kasumi blinked and licked Harry's nose with her small rough tounge, as if saying that it would be alright, just as his vision began to fade, Harry saw something or really someone appear out of the corner of his eye. Kasumi stopped licking him and looked up at the new person with a defiant gleam in her eyes. Her tail began to sway apprehensively as the cloaked figure bent down near Harry, whos vison was almost consummed by darkness now. The last consuse memory he had was the feeling of being lifted from the ground and held agsin a strong but cold chest and the weight of something landing on his stomach before he was over by exaustion.

-------------Line Breaker

Snape wondered how he got into situations like this, as he stormed down the corridor, his robes billowing behind him making him look like and over sized bat. Another thought that passed through his head as he descended into the bowels of Hogwarts, was why he had agreed to take care of the Potter brat after he came into his inheritance. A soft mewling noise came from the bundle of his arms and he remembered why he had givin in so easily, he had a soft spot for cats. The mewling noise came again, making Snape look down this time, Harry was pawing at his faceadn scrunching up his nose as he slept. Cuuuuuute... Wait... Gah!!! Snape sighed and closed his eyes for a breif second, while he shifted Harry to his hip so he could open the door to his chambers. As soon as Snape opened the door, Kasumi lept off of Karry on soundlessly onto the floor. Snape looked at the stow away it a bit of surprise.

"I didnt think you would follow the boy." He said calmly as he walked into the guest room and laid the sleeping boy on the large bed in the middle of the room. Kasumi jumped onto the bed and settled by Harry before glaring up at Snape.

"Of course I came with im you dingy old bat!" Kasumi siad in a flusttered voice as she glanced back at Harry with consern in her eyes. Snape whatched the cat as she worried over the boy.

"He'll be fine you know." he said in a calm, almost bored tone. The cat didn't care though, she still fretted over teh sleeping boy, licking his face and hair, trying to make him as clean as possible.

"I know he'll be fine but I still worry" Kasumi said when she paused her grooming too look up at the potions teacher. A mewl came for the still figure on the bed as he curled around himself. A soft barely visible smile graced Snape's face, the boy might be a griphondor golden boy, but that didn't stop him form being adorable. Snape sighed, this is going to be a long 3 weeks, he thought to himself.
