Chapter 85: Astoria's Tiger Ride
"Harry!" Harry heard a voice call, he turned around to see the youngest Greengrass sister walking towards him.
"Hello, I remember your name, Astoria right?" Harry asked as she stopped in front of him.
"Yes, I am." She smiled, looking pleased that he remembered. "Are you going to the great hall?"
"It is breakfast time so yeah." Harry nodded, he watched as her face shifted from happy to embarrassed.
"Um...I...I was out exploring and...I...uh..."
"Got lost?" Harry guessed.
"Y..yeah." She said, lowering her head slightly.
"Come on then," Harry said as he tapped her on the back and signalled her to follow him. Harry began walking with Astoria quickly following after him and walking alongside him. "don't worry about it, you are not the first and you probably won't be the last person to get lost."
"Thank you." Astoria said in a quiet voice.
"So Ravenclaw huh?" Harry asked as the two walked together.
"I think I am smart." Astoria smiled.
"Suppose we will see won't we? If you don't mind me asking, yesterday you looked a bit weird about being sorted into Ravenclaw."
"I thought that I was going to go in Slytherin like Daphne." Astoria confessed.
"Don't suppose it matters either way." Harry replied. "A house is a house." Harry said, earning a smile from Astoria.
"Oh can I see your animagus form now?" Astoria asked, remembering her conversation with him from the train. "You promised remember?"
"I did promise, didn't I?" Harry nodded just as he stopped with Astoria stopping next to him. "Alright ready?" Harry asked.
"Yeah!" Astoria nodded as her face took on an excited look.
"Stay ready." Harry grinned right before he shifted into his tiger form.
"Whoa!" Astoria gasped as she jumped back, her eyes were wide and disbelieving as she looked at him. Harry looked quite amused despite being a tiger, he greeted her in the form of a chuffing noise. "Wow!" Astoria breathed out. "You're so beautiful! Can...can I touch you?" She asked hopefully. Harry nodded, Astoria tentatively raised her hand and placed it his head. "Wow." She said before she began petting him. "That feel so nice. Oh, can I ride you?" Astoria asked, however as soon as the words came out of her mouth she began looking apologetic. "Oh I am sorry, that's probably rude and..." Astoria found herself cut off as Harry laid down on the floor. "Oh, I guess that means I can ride you?" She asked, Harry nodded and Astoria smiled before climbing on Harry's back.
Harry slowly rose up as he did not want to throw the girl off, Astoria giggled as Harry began walking towards the hall. Previously Harry was going to keep his animagus form hidden or at least not bring attention to it but he realised that after Ron let it slip then there was no real point in doing so. Might as well own it. Harry slowly walked towards the great hall with Astoria holding onto his neck and doing her best to not pull on his fur. The duo attracted more than a fair share of stares and shocked looks, apparently a first year Ravenclaw riding a white tiger was not a common sight, who knew?
When the two arrived at the great hall everyone in the hall stared at them, as of the moment only a few students had woken up and the only teachers currently at the teachers table were all the head of houses apart from Snape. Two of those students were Daphne and Tracy who were sat at the Slytherin table with gaping mouths. Everyone watched as Harry calmly walked over to the Ravenclaw table, he got down onto the floor and allowed Astoria to climb off.
"Thank you!" Astoria smiled as she got off, she was slightly embarrassed from all the attention she was getting but was more happy just because she was able to actually ride a tiger. Harry shifted back into his human form and smiled at her.
"You're welcome, now you go and enjoy breakfast." Harry said as he ruffled her hair before he headed to the Slytherin table, he glanced back and saw many Ravenclaws quickly trying to sit next to Astoria. He sat at the Slytherin table, opposite Daphne and Tracy with a smirk on his face. "Hello ladies." Harry smiled at them before he started eating.
"I...what was that?!" Daphne blurted out.
"That was me making your sister cool, you are welcome by the way." Harry said after swallowing.
"Your animagus form is a tiger?! That's so cool!" Tracy exclaimed.
"Thanks." Harry replied before turning to Daphne. "Your sister was lost and we met as she was trying to find her way to the great hall, she reminded me how I promised to show her my animagus form and it just went from there."
"Hmm, well...thank you for helping her." Daphne said eventually.
"You're welcome."
"By the way, not that I mind but why are you sitting here at the Slytherin table?" Daphne asked. "Shouldn't you be sitting at the Gryffindor table?"
"As far as I am aware there are no rules against sitting at other tables, besides I would like to think that the three of us are friends so why can't I sit with my friends?" Harry asked.
"Potter!" A voice stopped any reply from the girls, the trio looked up to see Malfoy standing there with Crabbe and Goyle behind him as usual.
"Hello Malfoy, you look the same as usual." Harry said in a sad voice.
"Shut it Potter! What are you doing at the Slytherin table?" Malfoy glared at Harry.
"I am sitting Malfoy, if the act is too complicated for you to understand then I can explain it to you." Harry replied.
"You don't belong at the Slytherin table Potter!"
"Malfoy you have your entire life to be an arse, just do us a favour and take today off." Harry replied in a bored voice.
"Leave Potter!" Malfoy ordered.
"I don't see why I should, there are no rules against sitting at other house tables plus I am sitting with my friends." Harry said as he gestured to Daphne and Tracy.
"Freinds?!"
"Malfoy I am truly losing all hope for you if you do not even know what friends are. It is basically like your relationship with Crabbe and Goyle except the girls don't suck my cock." Harry replied in a dry voice, Malfoy's face turned an almost Weasley shade of red.
"What is going on here?" A drawling voice interrupted, stopping Malfoy from saying anything. They all turned to see Professor Snape stop in front of them.
