Mental Preparation Before Being a Pet

Hermione breakfasted with the Slytherins in silence. Daphne kept giving her sly looks throughout the meal, both fully aware that Hermione was in for it once the clock struck noon.

After breakfast, Hermione made her way up to Gryffindor tower. She passed the stretch of wall that was the entrance to the room of requirement, where she was no longer able to go, lest she risk dying from the unbreakable vow she had made. She sighed as she continued her way to the Fat Lady, who let her in at the sight of Hermione's spread pussy lips.

Hermione picked up the book on occlumency again and set her alarm clock for 30 minutes until lunch. She decided that if she was going to be near a legilimens for 24 hours, she'd want to have some sort of preparation...

Occlumency was truly difficult. While Harry's attempt at shutting out his mind involved making the mind go blank, more advanced versions of the same magic involved laying a false trail in the mind, a fake memory over the real thing. Of course, Hermione thought, this would make sense. How else would Snape have been able to lie to Voldemort for years? This meant that the idea of half-truths wasn't such a bad one... If Hermione could use them to trick the Slytherins later...

After a few hours, the clock began to ring. It was now thirty minutes until she'd be with the Slytherins for 24 hours as their pet. Hermione braced herself and made her way down to the great hall, leaving her wand and bag in the tower, to await lunch with the Slytherins.

The Slytherins arrived right at noon, Daphne grinning with excitement. As Hermione sat at the table, Daphne called out "Nuh-uh! You're not sitting at the table for this!"

Hermione turned "But- what?"

"And!" Millicent interrupted, "pets don't talk!" Millicent drew her wand and jabbed it in the air towards Hermione while uttering "Silencio!"

Immediately, Hermione found herself unable to speak at all. As much as she tried, her vocal cords wouldn't produce any sound. "Wh-why did you have to do that?" She was able to whisper.

"We did some thinking about how you would be as a pet, Granger," Pansy began. "And we decided we didn't want you annoying us as much. We also didn't want you to just be like this..." Pansy gestured at Hermione's body. "Daph, you ready?"

"I've never been more ready for anything!" Daphne exclaimed. She raised her wand and began to move it through the air, pointing both around Hermione's tailbone and head.

Immediately, Hermione could feel changes come over her. She felt her ears change shape and move up higher on her head. She felt something long and hairy protrude from just above her arse. It was over in less than a minute, but Hermione thought she recognized what had happened.

Pansy flicked her wand and conjured a full-length mirror. "Take a look, Granger," she ordered, a smug smile plastered across her face. For some reason, Pansy sounded louder than normal. Hermione got up and walked to the mirror, feeling slightly off balance.

But if she felt off-balance before, it was nothing to how shaken she felt when she saw that her ears had become large cat ears on her head. The outside of them was hairy, the same color as the rest of her bushy brown hair, but the insides were as pink as her pussy.

But that wasn't the only change. Just as brown and fuzzy as the ears and as bushy as her hair was her new tail, coming down just at her ankles. She found that she had some control over it.

She tried to cry out, but was unable to thanks to the silencing charm.

She spun around to the Slytherins and saw that Daphne had filled up a plate of food and set it on the ground for Hermione, next to her own seat. "There you are, Granger! Now eat up, because after lunch, I'm taking my kitty for a walk!"
