Wonder if Hermione will attempt the same ritual with Crookshanks...I can picture his demeanor as a combination of Tim Curry's flamboyance and Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch)'s 'I-Think-Therefore-I-Am-Supreme-Awesome' self-assurance.

Well... Hedwig is British... and Welsh.#SarcasticOwl
That would be amazing...Wonder if Hermione will attempt the same ritual with Crookshanks...I can picture his demeanor as a combination of Tim Curry's flamboyance and Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch)'s 'I-Think-Therefore-I-Am-Supreme-Awesome' self-assurance.
I had not even realized that before!

Always great to hear!
There's a little bit less pulling out of the shell involved than with Harry and the submarines but they certainly are.
It's only sleepwear, what could go wrong?
We now have the owl who can do almost whatever she wants and Harry the sneaky Admiral.

Well, you do a great job.
That... is a very good point.
*Laughs in Kaiju*
Hedwig is going to have soooo much fun.

Walking out of the warehouse, Harry glanced to Hedwig who was looking around curiously as she experienced what it meant to be in a human body. Hands in his pockets, he gave a bit of a nod as he realized something which made the transformed owl look at him, "And what is so funny, Harry-Wizard?"
Lips curling, Harry cocked his head to the side, "Not much... just that you keep turning your head fully in the direction that you are looking towards. That's all."
Confused, Hedwig frowned some, "What do you mean? I have to turn my head to look."
That... made the wizard pause some and look at her, "Wait, what?"
If anything, that response made Hedwig even more confused, "I need to turn my head to look in any direction, Harry-Wizard."
Now it was Harry's turn to look confused, "Turn your head to look in any... wait." Furrowing his eyebrows, he gave her a suspicious look, "Do you mean that you can't turn your eyes without turning your head as well? No looking out the corners of your eyes?"
Hedwig gave a nod at that, "Yes? I am an owl."
For several seconds, Harry stared at her and he was not alone. Gently, Natsumi took Hedwig's wrist and held it up, "Is this an owl's wing?"
Blinking, the owl scoffed, "Obviously it is a wing, not an arm..." Eyes widening, she looked down at her arm, "... I'm not an owl right now..." Moving each digits, she turned her head and boggled at Harry, "Right now, I look and am... human."
Arms crossed, Harry met her gaze evenly before realizing what the issue was. Focusing on the connection between them, he could feel Hedwig's attention as he was once more gazing from her eyes. One thing that he noted, briefly, was that on the darkened base he could see so many stars in the night sky with his vision. More than that, they were in so many colors.
Quickly though, he shook that off and his consciousness poked Hedwig's as if asking for permission, which she gave. Harry could feel her paying close attention as he moved the eyes in her sockets one way, then another, and then another. All of which gave her some idea of how it felt and how they moved. Pulling back, he watched in amusement as she continued doing the same with thing and expression on her face like she had discovered a new toy, "That... is amazing."
Chuckling, Aoba gave her a look, "Not that amazing."
The owl gave her a look, "For all my life, if I wanted to look in a particular direction, I needed to turn my head in that direction. Now..." Rolling her eyes, she grinned, "Now like this, I don't need to do that!"
Only shaking his head in amusement, Harry patted her arm and guided her towards the golf carts, the warehouse locked and clean, "We should get to the mess hall and get some food into us. And I need to get cooking some things for you and Grandmother to eat among other things."
Natsumi shook her head with some amusement, but also disbelief, "I cannot believe that you never introduced her to peanut butter, Harry-Chan! How could you now do that?!"
Much to Hedwig's amusement, her wizard waved his arms around, more than a little flustered, "I said that I'm sorry, Natsumi-Chan! It was just that I was busy with various things around Hogwarts and reconnecting with Grandmother that it fell to the wayside!" Getting a huff from his friend, Harry gave her a sheepish grin, "I am going to correct it, just you watch."
Giving him a moment, Natsumi finally nodded, "Very well."
Just shaking her head in amusement, the transformed owl got into one of the golf carts and away they went. The headlights on said carts were turned down low as they made their way through the darkened naval base. Despite the fact that no Abyssal attacks had happened for a few years now, the base still shut off most of the lights after sunset. Here and there, she could spot the telltale glow of people using night vision goggles to see with due to her vision. Feeling Harry "Knock" on the door to her mind, Hedwig let him through.
Moments later, she could feel him using her vision to also look around, though he was interested mostly in the night sky. Looking up, Hedwig sent a thought his way, 'Why so interested in the stars?'
A chuckle echoed over their link from Harry, 'Because they're beautiful. And looking through your eyes... there is so much to see.' With a slight mental tug, Hedwig turned her head in a certain direction, 'Like right there. I can actually see the Orion Nebula with your eyes.'
Still bemused, Hedwig sent him a slight chuckle, 'I see, Harry-Wizard.'
Both of them were quiet as they simply explored the new mental link between them. Eventually, Harry spoke up again, mentally that is, 'You do realize that elsewhere you can't call me "Harry-Wizard", right? It would bring up questions.'
Hedwig only shrugged at that, 'Perhaps. But it still fits well enough.'
The two of them turned to each other and shared a smile before going back to what they had been doing. Soon enough though, they reached the base mess hall and Harry got off in time to see Siusan smile at him. Upon catching sight of Hedwig though, the Irish fox blinked some as she looked the transformed owl over in interest, "And you're Hedwig now?"
With a nod and a slight bow, Hedwig smirked, "That I am."
Much to her surprise, Siusan gave her a hug, "Thank you for this, Harry-Child told me that you did this not just of your own free will, but that you spoke to him through the one named Shiromizu. Just protect him, when I cannot."
Hugging her back, the owl nodded, "You do not even have to ask. I am loyal to my Master."
Part of Siusan suspected that there was more to what she had said than that, but kept quiet. Instead, she looked around the mess area, currently empty but for them, though it seemed like someone was in the kitchen, in curiosity. As Harry gave her a hug, she smiled and patted his head, "Is this where you cook, Harry-Child?"
As he nodded, the wizard hummed, "That's right." Guiding her and Hedwig to a nearby table, Harry sat them both down, "Here, have a seat and I'll make something up."
Nodding, Siusan did as asked and glanced around. When she turned back though, Harry was gone and she blinked before feeling the traces of magic in the air. Remembering what he had told her about the object he had, she simply nodded, 'Ah, of course.'
While she was doing that, Hedwig's nose was twitching as she underwent something close to sensory overload. As an owl, she barely had a sense of smell. Thus, now with a human's sense, she could smell the food cooking in the kitchen. Already, her mouth was watering from what could be smelt there. Spotting Siusan looking at her, Hedwig blushed some, "Is something interesting?"
Only shaking her head, the Irish fox shook her head, "Nay, child. Just taking in things is all."
Voice dropping to a whisper, Hedwig glanced around, using her eyes as well as turning her head, "I am as well."
With a nod, Siusan did not say much more. Mainly because at that moment Harry walked out from the kitchen pushing a cart with food on it. Hedwig's eyes zoomed right in to the large pile of bacon, able to smell it from where she was already. Upon reaching them, Harry began to set out plates for everyone who took them gratefully, Natsumi smiling up at him as he gave her some chicken, "Thanks, Harry-Chan!"
Smile on his face, Harry chuckled and nodded at her, "You're welcome, Natsumi-Chan."
Hers was not the only one to use chicken though, as Hoshi and Siusan both got some as well. Other quickly, though good, cooked food was given to the others. Finally, Harry placed the plate of bacon in front of Hedwig, who took a deep sniff, "Mmm..."
Lightly laughing, he patted her on the head, "Hope that you enjoy it, Hedwig."
The owl turned and gave him a look, "It is bacon, of course I will enjoy it." Picking up a strip, she turned it this way and that to examine it even though she wanted to gobble it down right there. Part of it was that this was the first time that she had ever picked up a piece of food with hands. Hands, that just a short time ago, never existed. A slight smile on her face, she opened her mouth and took a bite.
Almost immediately, taste like nothing she had ever had before exploded across her taste buds. Every one paused as she let out a loud groan and closed her eyes for a bit. At least Natsumi swore that Hedwig trembled a bit when she began to chew. Swallowing, the transformed owl opened her eyes and fixed a somewhat blushing Harry with an awed look, the wizard coughing, "So I take it that it is good then?"
Still awed, Hedwig stared at him, "How is it so much better now...?"
Chuckling, Harry relaxed some, "Because you're human, or close to it anyways. We got more of a sense of taste than owls do, so everything just tastes... more, to you."
For several moments, Hedwig continued to stare at him before looking down at her plate with sadness. When he asked what was wrong, she sighed, "Now when I eat it as an owl, it won't be the same..."
That got her another headpat from Harry, which she enjoyed.
It did not take long for all the food to be gone, with the black haired wizard once more leaving. Though much to his amusement, Hedwig had asked for, and gotten, bits from the others meals. With the result that each time she shuddered and groaned in pleasure from the taste. However, Harry returned with a cart that had some desserts on it, though he placed a plate of peanut butter cookies in front of Siusan, "Here you go, Grandmother. My special chewy peanut butter cookies, fresh and warm from the oven."
Smiling, the Irish fox nodded some, "Thank you, Harry-Child." With a nod, she took one and turned it over in her hand for several moments out of interest, though her nose was tickled by the smell of it. Taking it, she took a bite out of it before closing her eyes in bliss for several seconds at the taste that rolled over her tongue. Siusan took her time chewing that one cookie before finally swallowing it, already missing the taste. Opening her eyes, she shook her head, "That was..."
Hoshi gave her a smile and nodded, "Excellent." Looking at her own cookie, she took a bite and sighed in happiness, "Peanut butter is truly wonderful, a gift to this world."
All Siusan could do was nod in agreement, though she gave a look to Hedwig who looked blissed out after her first bite of chocolate brownie. Something that amused the fox to no end, before she turned back to the delectable treats in front of her. After all, her Harry-Child had baked them and she was going to enjoy each crumb.
Which is exactly what she did, while hoping for more.
Lips curling, Harry cocked his head to the side, "Not much... just that you keep turning your head fully in the direction that you are looking towards. That's all."
Confused, Hedwig frowned some, "What do you mean? I have to turn my head to look."
That... made the wizard pause some and look at her, "Wait, what?"

Just a heads-up, guys. In the time since I posted my last snip, I've come to feel like I've written myself into a corner, and I just can't seem to make the next scene to work out so that I'm satisfied with it. So after giving it some thought, I'm going back and deleting that last bit from the snippet, to free myself up to direct the plot line the way I want.
Sorry. I hope you guys understand.

Friends in Need
After a careful progression around Borneo and through the South China Sea, Princess Jingo and Ruiner came to a virtual halt south of Taiwan. To Ruiner, this seemed an odd course of action, especially if their goal was Japan.
"We're waiting for an opportunity," Jingo explained. "I have no intention of trying to sail into the most heavily defended waters on this side of the Pacific without an invitation and escort." She looked to the stump of her arm. "I may fancy myself brave but that is too much of a risk. So what we will do is wait."
"For what?"
"A signal. A distress call to be precise. After all, if we expose ourselves responding to humans or shipgirls in trouble, their friends are less likely to shoot at us on sight. So we keep a radio watch and wait. I do want you to fly your scouts south, just to be safe."
"Right, Boss."
For days they waited until finally, the signal came in. Unfortunately, it wasn't what Jingo had been hoping for.
"Tell me I did NOT hear that," She groaned as the message repeated, the terror in the operator's voice clear even as the signal cut in and out.
"...Th... Passenger F...Elano Five... Lati...Twenty De... Thirty-three... North... Gitude... One Twenty-One....forty-five... East... Under Atta... Repeat... Is...Ssenger Ferry... Belano..."
"They're near Itbayat," Jingo noted. "That's insane!"
"Boss?"
"Itbayat is the Northernmost island in the Philippines. English traders tried to set up a presence there before the Spanish took over. It's a small speck closer to Formosa than to Luzon."
"So what's the value of this place?" Ruiner asked.
"None. It simply is. None of this makes sense, Ruiner."
"Starting with the fact that even a couple of PTs could have killed that ferry and been done with it by now."
"Live bait in a trap."
"So, what are we going to do?" Ruiner knew her Princess's mind already but she would pretend for a moment that they weren't about to take a crazy risk to possibly save some humans who were obviously OUT OF THEIR MINDS!
"You've seen 'Jaws', my dear."
"Great... And they call me 'Bruce'."

In this case anyways.
Yes, yes she has.
Indeed!
Which is what makes it hilarious to be honest.Harry is going to have the only owl in the known world that is addicted to chocolate.
Actually, for some odd reason I can't help but see him taking it in stride.
:lol
This looks to be interesting...

Yes, she has.And yes, Hedwig discovers what a shipgirl goes through when she's made human...!
Owls do shit actually, and she's observed enough humans that she is not completely helpless in this case, though it would be all new to her.

Not an issue just keep up the good work. Another thought though. If these are FoL hatchlings they were born after the US regained control of the island correct? Would that make them defacto US citizens as well?

Snippet 23: Harry Leferts

Suave Shadow Cabal Kaiju
Eyelids twitching, a soft groan came from between two thin lips. After a few more moments, two eyes the color of molten gold opened and stared at the ceiling in confusion before their owner suddenly sat up, "What... where...?" Looking around, Hedwig frowned some, "Why am I sleeping on my back..." Feeling her hands on the ground, she turned and stared at them, "Oh, right." Flopping back down, the transformed owl looked at one of her hands by holding it above her, "I'm... human. Or close enough."
Turning her hand, she considered it for a few seconds. She wiggled her fingers with a small giggle as she watched them. Part of her still could not believe what had happened the night before. Her, Hedwig, was now a fully fledged familiar to her wizard. Even now, she could feel the link to him in the back of her mind, his magic ebbing and flowing across the connection that they now had.
And she was never happier.
Lips curling upwards, she let her hand flop down onto her belly and just laid there. As an owl, she would never have been able to lay on her back. Or, rather, it would have been extremely uncomfortable to say the least. But as a human? It didn't bother her much at all. Looking around the room, her Master's room, she took a deep breath and held it for a few moments before letting it out. Stretching, Hedwig let out a sigh of relaxation before sitting up again, something that amused her at how easy it was to do despite her being an owl.
Still stretching, she let out satisfied grunts as various joints popped before chuckling. If anyone had been there, they would have seen some dark amusement in her eyes as she looked herself over, "Wonder what Mother would make of the fact that I can take human form?" Once more, Hedwig let out a chuckle as she imagined the cursed woman's reaction before frowning, "Though... now that I am able to do this, I need to plan. She will not take this laying down and she could threaten Harry-Wizard..."
Moments later, her hands clenched until the knuckles were white and her fingernails nearly drew blood. However, she let out a breath and relaxed some, "No, I will not let her. And I will make sure of it..."
With a shake of the head, she stood up before walking to a mirror and looking herself over. Twisting in this direction and then another, Hedwig slowly nodded to herself. While she did not know much about human mating, she did know that the form she was in currently was one that would have attracted human males and others. Not that she was too concerned about that for the moment.
That could wait until after a certain problem was no longer a problem.
Until that point though, Hedwig was not looking for such. And she also knew that as a familiar, she could look forward to a very long life. For she could only die when Harry did or he released her, and she suspected that her wizard would live for a long time yet. With a slight smile, her clothing shimmered and became the grey tank top and jeans that she had wore the night before she turned for the door. Opening it, she entered the apartment where she was met with the smell of cooking and Harry at the stove, "Harry-Wizard."
Looking over his shoulder, Harry gave a chuckle and gestured at the table where Siusan was sitting, "Good morning, Hedwig. Just have a seat and I'll have breakfast done soon." He then tilted his head some, "Is eggs alright with it? Or do you want something else?"
In reply, the transformed owl snorted, "Eggs are fine, Harry-Wizard. I've eaten other birds before and it is not much different." Once she sat down, Hedwig glanced at the various things there in curiosity. There was a small bowl of fruit on the table, and a pitcher of what she recognized as orange juice. Considering that, she nodded and poured herself a glass before examining it, "Hmm..."
Just glancing at her, Harry chuckled some, "I think that you might like that, Hedwig."
Noticing that Siusan was watching her with some amusement, Hedwig took a sip of her drink and her eyes widened before she closed them with a hum. If there was one thing that she was not used to, and hoped never to be used to, it was the sense of taste that her new form gave her. Said sense made everything she had eaten before seem bland by comparison, flavours bursting in her mouth every time she ate or drank something.
And there was now so much for her to discover.
Eyes opening, Hedwig nodded some, only to blink as Harry set a plate with some sausages, eggs, and of course, bacon. Smiling, she began to dig into the meal after thanking him, making happy noises. A chuckle escaping him, Harry gave her a look of amusement as he sent a message over their link, 'Well, you seem to be enjoying yourself.'
Glancing at him, the owl nodded some, 'Of course! This is all... so delicious. How do humans not eat all the time?'
Softly snickering, Harry shook his head, 'Some do.' Ignoring her hum, the thirteen year old turned to Siusan, "Is there anything that you wish to do, Grandmother?"
The Irish fox blinked at that and considered the question before frowning, "I... am unsure, Harry-Child. All this..." She made a motion around her with a fork, "Is so very strange." Yawning, Siusan shook her head some, "And I am yet still a bit tired."
Pausing for a moment, Harry considered that before nodding, "If you want to have a bit of a lay in, that would be fine. I have to report in to Teitoku about some things as well. And also see Niiyodo-Chan about my recovery efforts."
While somewhat curious, Siusan smiled, "That sounds lovely, Harry-Child. And it has been some time since I have had a long, sound sleep." Looking at the food, her tone became one of amusement, "Especially with such food filling my belly. Before you know it, I shall be less a fox and more a ball."
A grin stretched across the wizard's face at that, "Well, then I'll roll you around, Grandmother.'
Eyebrow raised in amusement, Siusan poked at him with her fork, which he easily dodged, "I think not, Harry-Child."
Lightly laughing, Harry grinned at her before taking a bite of his sausage and humming, "How about later we visit the hot springs, Grandmother? I think that you might like that."
Blinking, the fox cocked her head to the side, "Hot springs? You mean springs that have hot water?" When he nodded, Siusan frowned in thought, "Well, I have never been to one to bathe. And back in Britain, well... it has not been common for families to bathe together."
Harry shrugged at that, "It's not like that here in Japan actually. Skinship and all that sort of thing, no one really minds it all that much. Besides..." A smile appeared on his face, "I think that you might like it."
Considering that, Siusan finally nodded some, though she still looked unsure, "Very well, Harry-Child, I think that would be nice."
If anything, that made Harry smile at her before turning to Hedwig who just finished her breakfast, "Oh, right!" His smile became a grin as Hedwig looked up, "How about you deliver a letter for me to Jane? I can use my time turner to help you go back an hour or two while you take the train to get close..."
Slowly, Hedwig gained a grin as she realized what he really wanted, "I think that I can do that, Harry-Wizard..."
From where she sat, Siusan gave them amused looks before shaking her head some, 'Yes, Harry-Child truly does have the strong blood of a fox in him... I am looking forward to seeing what else he shall do.'
Three hours later, or twenty minutes in real time, Hedwig left the train station close to Sasebo and glanced around with a nod. Taking a high speed train as a human was... different. Shaking off her thoughts, and ignoring the man walking out gripping his bruised wrist, she ducked into an alleyway. Said man glared at her and ran after her shouting, only to stop as there was no one there, not seeing the owl taking flight. Later, said man would be unable to do his work for the day and get yelled at by his boss for it.
Meanwhile, the snowy owl flapped her way the short, for her, distance from her train stop to Sasebo. Spotting the Richardson Household, she landed on a sill and knocked on it with her legs, the window being opened moments later by a happy Jane, "Hey, Hedwig! Nice to see you, want to come in?" Hedwig bobbed her head and flapped to Jane's chair before holding out her leg where she held a letter. Taking it, Jane gave a nod after reading it, "Okay, I'll get in touch with Cuz then about this."
Grabbing a piece of bacon from her plate, she held it out to Hedwig. Meanwhile, Hiei was sipping her coffee as the others ate when a voice spoke up, "I do hope that Hiei did not cook this morning."
A frown on her face, Hiei grumbled a bit, "No, I didn't cook this morning. And I am not that bad."
The same voice spoke up once more, "So you claim, while others say differently. Facts speak for themselves after all."
Opening her mouth, the Battleship turned and was about to tell off whoever was talking when she paused. Jane's jaw was dropped and everyone was frozen and staring at Hedwig, 'Wait... that wasn't one of them. So who...?'
She got her answer moments later when Hedwig made a shrugging motion with her wings and spoke with a Welsh accent, "After all, one sees odd things happen when one eats your cooking. Thus, it is best to be careful when there is a chance of such." Cocking her head to the side, the owl looked directly at Hiei, "Just good advice."
Very slowly, Arizona sniffed her coffee with a frown before turning to the only man there, "John... did the Lieutenant Commander prepare the coffee this morning?"
For his part, Richardson shook his head some, while ignoring the shout from Hiei, "No, it was Jintsuu."
When everyone turned to her, said Light Cruiser shook her head, "No! I swear, it was just normal coffee this morning! Not... something that does this!"
Poking her head over the table, Albie blinked, "You're talking."
Head tilted to the side, Hedwig blinked, "Am I? Why, I never would have guessed. Perhaps though you are just thinking that I am talking, in which case, can you really understand me? Can I understand you? Are we able to understand one another in the end, when we communicate with noises while not really understanding what the other is saying? Are we just talking past one another?" Eyes becoming hooded, she gave the Submarine a look, "Though you are a Submarine in the shape of a girl who is talking and that is truly strange when one thinks of it."
Now poking her head up, Archie gave a nod, "A very snarky talking owl."
Meanwhile, Shimakaze tilted her head to the side while humming with her eyes closed, "Though she does bring up a good point."'
Unknown to them, back in Yokosuka, Harry was cackling at the reactions as Hedwig continued to confuse the bunch of them.
Turning her hand, she considered it for a few seconds. She wiggled her fingers with a small giggle as she watched them. Part of her still could not believe what had happened the night before. Her, Hedwig, was now a fully fledged familiar to her wizard. Even now, she could feel the link to him in the back of her mind, his magic ebbing and flowing across the connection that they now had.
And she was never happier.
Lips curling upwards, she let her hand flop down onto her belly and just laid there. As an owl, she would never have been able to lay on her back. Or, rather, it would have been extremely uncomfortable to say the least. But as a human? It didn't bother her much at all. Looking around the room, her Master's room, she took a deep breath and held it for a few moments before letting it out. Stretching, Hedwig let out a sigh of relaxation before sitting up again, something that amused her at how easy it was to do despite her being an owl.
Still stretching, she let out satisfied grunts as various joints popped before chuckling. If anyone had been there, they would have seen some dark amusement in her eyes as she looked herself over, "Wonder what Mother would make of the fact that I can take human form?" Once more, Hedwig let out a chuckle as she imagined the cursed woman's reaction before frowning, "Though... now that I am able to do this, I need to plan. She will not take this laying down and she could threaten Harry-Wizard..."
Moments later, her hands clenched until the knuckles were white and her fingernails nearly drew blood. However, she let out a breath and relaxed some, "No, I will not let her. And I will make sure of it..."
With a shake of the head, she stood up before walking to a mirror and looking herself over. Twisting in this direction and then another, Hedwig slowly nodded to herself. While she did not know much about human mating, she did know that the form she was in currently was one that would have attracted human males and others. Not that she was too concerned about that for the moment.
That could wait until after a certain problem was no longer a problem.
Until that point though, Hedwig was not looking for such. And she also knew that as a familiar, she could look forward to a very long life. For she could only die when Harry did or he released her, and she suspected that her wizard would live for a long time yet. With a slight smile, her clothing shimmered and became the grey tank top and jeans that she had wore the night before she turned for the door. Opening it, she entered the apartment where she was met with the smell of cooking and Harry at the stove, "Harry-Wizard."
Looking over his shoulder, Harry gave a chuckle and gestured at the table where Siusan was sitting, "Good morning, Hedwig. Just have a seat and I'll have breakfast done soon." He then tilted his head some, "Is eggs alright with it? Or do you want something else?"
