I am so sorry I didn’t get this out sooner. I was distracted by shiny objects and time wasting games. *hangs head in shame* I will do what I can to have 2 chapters out tomorrow.

Thanks so much for the reviews. This story is actually finished, I’m just going through and editing bits of it. I am trying to update as often as I can. But there’s life, and work and shiny things that get in the way…

Hope you continue to enjoy!

Oh and mjd – it’s just Ron and Hermione.

Chapter 5

A knock on Severus’ door a little while later pulled Harry from the unpleasant remembrance of past events that still plagued him, even as a Kneazle.

He didn’t think he had ever been so glad to see Draco. Except for maybe that time at Malfoy Manor when he and Neville had saved Harry from Bellatrix, just before he’d defeated Voldemort.

Severus didn’t look up from his work but Harry watched the blonde as he dropped into an ungainly heap of lanky limbs into one of Severus’ deceptively comfortable chairs across from the older man.

Draco watched Severus as he finished what he was working on and didn’t say anything.

Severus set his quill down and looked at Draco, ‘And what has brought you to my office fifteen minutes before curfew?’

Draco sighed and watched Kit before answering, ‘It’s Potter, I haven’t seen him in a few days.’ He stared at the ceiling as he spoke, ‘when I did see him, he wasn’t with the Weasel and the Know-it-all. Finnigan and Longbottom were with him and they seemed more at peace then the others had been and the she-weasel would be with them and she looked like she still liked Harry and well I just… I’m worried about Potter, what if something happened to him?’ Harry gaped at the blonde, this was not the Draco he knew, not that he knew him well but he had been getting to know Draco who’d been trying to shake whatever his mother had kept him under. No matter what he was or wasn’t influenced by, Draco didn’t babble. ‘And Granger what happened to her, she’s been so wrapped up in Weasel and totally ignoring Potter and when she does acknowledge him she belittles him and not that I didn’t do it but she loves him, I know I’ve heard her. And her cat’s been with you and something isn’t right with her, Sev. I just want to apologize to them!’

Severus listened to the blond with mild amusement.

Harry couldn’t help but think that if either of these two men found out about him being a Kneazle, he was going to be used in potions. If he was he hoped it was something nefarious.

‘So when did you decide to get a cat, a Kneazle, of all things?’ Draco asked, clearly over his mope-y rant about things he couldn’t control.

Snape raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything about the rant Draco had just executed. ‘When no one claimed the beast after Granger attacked it,’ he replied.

‘Why did Granger attack it?’ Draco asked his concern evident though Severus wasn’t sure if it was for the cat or the girl.

‘Because it was with her own mangy beast,’ Severus replied. Crookshanks, who’d been curled up in the other chair, practically launched himself out of the chair and at Severus.

Draco yelped and tried to scramble out of the chair he was in. Crookshanks landed just in front of Severus who had remained still and unimpressed.

‘Yes, we are all very impressed with your display of feline finesse.’ Severus drawled as Draco calmed down as he realized that the cat meant no real harm.

Draco snatched Kit off the desk as he settled himself in the chair opposite. ‘Aren’t you a pretty kitty?’ he crooned as he scratched at all the right places on Harry.

Harry was too busy being boneless to care about being “pretty”.

‘Why was Granger attacking this little guy?’ Draco asked, getting that one spot on Harry that drove him to lick the air, or maybe Draco’s arm since it was closest to his tongue.

Both Draco and Severus couldn’t help but to laugh at the poor kitten. ‘I don’t think she’d ever seen a full blooded Kneazle before,’ Severus replied.

‘For all her book smarts, she’s useless in the real world,’ Draco commented.

‘Yes well,’ Severus trailed off, wanting Draco to get whatever was bothering him off his chest.

‘I’ve thought about it, and I want you to adopt me,’ the blonde blurted suddenly.

Severus sighed. ‘We’ve been through this, Draco,’ he began to reply.

‘I know, but you’ve been more of a father to me than Lucius has been and now that you’ve been cleared you can!’ Draco blurted as his hold on Harry tightened just a little bit too much, causing Harry to squeak.

‘Your father didn’t have a choice,’ Severus stated.

‘You don’t know that!’ Draco insisted. Harry had a feeling they’d had this conversation about a million times before. ‘Please Sev!’ Draco whined.

‘Not until we know for sure that Lucius is dead or that Narcissa really did make him a death eater,’ Severus said, with a note of finality.

Draco harrumphed, ‘so does he have a name?’ he asked, playing with a tuft of fur on one of Harry’s ears.

‘Kit,’ Severus replied, hoping he didn’t look as embarrassed as he felt.

Draco lifted the kitten so he was eye level with it, studying the ball of fur. ‘It suits him,’ he finally declared after a moment. He settled Harry back onto his lap and looked back to Severus. ‘What about that one?’ he nodded to the ginger beast on the desk.

‘It’s Granger’s, he won’t go back to her and he refuses to leave that thing alone for any length of time,’ Severus replied with a weak glare at Kit.

‘So he’s become the little one’s pseudo-parent.’

‘It would appear so,’ Severus replied. ‘He did save him from a potentially fatal encounter.’

‘I just wish first year had been different,’ Draco suddenly blurted.

Severus simply raised an eyebrow.

‘I was such a jerk to Potter, to all of them. I didn’t mean to be but I couldn’t help myself,’ Draco declared, and Harry, who’d been kneading the blonde’s thigh, dug his claws in a little deeper, though his victim didn’t seem to notice. ‘Everything could’ve been so different,’ he mused.

Harry wondered what it would have been like if he’d been friends with the blond rather than the irritating redhead who wouldn’t shut the hell up about anything.

‘It’s not your fault, Dragon,’ Severus stated as he moved around his desk. Crookshanks claimed the chair that Snape had just vacated, glaring at the two humans. ‘If anyone is to blame...’ he began.

Draco cut him off with a vehement, ‘no!’ He calmed immediately, ‘you had no idea she was going to steal it and use it on us, on me,’ he set the kitten on the other chair and reached for the older man.

Harry wanted to know what this was about so he perched as close to the edge as he dared and listened.

‘If Fudge wasn’t a bumbling idiot then the potion that you created to make the criminals in jail more complacent-’

‘Don’t Draco,’ Severus snapped before he sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

‘I’m sorry, uncle,’ Draco mumbled. ‘I should go,’ he said softly.

Severus pulled Draco into his arms. ‘I’m sorry, Dragon,’ he whispered into the blonde’s hair.

Draco nodded against Severus’ chest.

‘Give Lucius a chance, should he show up,’ he insisted.

Draco nodded again, only to pull away when there was a knock at Severus’ door.

‘Good night, Uncle,’ he said softly.

‘Good night, Dragon,’ he replied, the blonde slipped out of the office as Filch appeared in the doorway.

‘I thought I’d inform you that the student,’ the older man sneered at the word in distaste, ‘that should have been in detention tonight, never showed up,’ he informed him with no small amount of glee.

Snape scowled; there was only one student who had detention at the moment. He scooped up the kitten before storming up into the castle.
