Title: Pools of Heaven
Pairings: You really don't want to know…
Warnings: This fic involves weird, twisted love. And Filch.
A/N: Another challenge fic from JiggyNFairPhili. This is going to become a regular thing between us to try and make sure that I don't sink into a huge rut like I did before…so yeah, go check out hers, it's called 'I Plead Not Guilty'.
Disclaimer: I don't own them. If I did, this pairing would definitely NOT be in the book.
"Damn kids!" Filch screamed red-faced, spittle flying from his mouth in all directions, "Get out of here before I chain you to my ceiling! Out!"
The two second years fled down the corridor, tripping over their feet and robes in their effort to get as far away from the livid caretaker as possible. Filch watched them escape, panting and seething. Finally he turned back into his office and closed the door behind him.
Those kids…thought they owned the school. Thought they could run around, doing whatever they pleased. Thought they had the right to run him ragged. He hated them. He hated every last one of them. They made him furious, so mad he felt like he was going to pop.
Suddenly he heard a mew from somewhere near his feet, drawing his eyes downwards. One look from those beautiful big eyes and his anger seemed to melt away. Smiling he bent down and picked the cat up off the floor, cuddling her close to his chest.
"Hello my beauty." he whispered.
Mrs Norris purred and rubbed her head against his chest affectionately. He felt a warm rush of love towards the cat. She was the only one in the whole goddamn castle that he could stand. She was the one that kept him going.
And what a beautiful cat she was. He loved the feel of her soft, gorgeous fur against his fingers and chest. The purrs that vibrated through her chest travelled through into his body, sending tingles up and down his spine.
"Oh my beauty," he crooned, slowly running his fingers delightedly down her spine, "Oh my gorgeous gem…how I do love you."
She wriggled delightedly in his arms, just like she had the very first day he got her. He remembered it so clearly. When he first saw her, curled up in that shop, looking at him with those beautiful eyes, his heart just cracked. The things those eyes could do to him…Filch shivered and hugged her closer.
He knew those kids hated her. They hated his precious darling because she was always on his side. Always sniffing them out, making his job so much more bearable. She had a knack for finding hoodlums who were up to no good. It was like she was born for it. Like she was born to be by his side.
Filch almost sneered at the cliché line. He had never been one for heartfelt declarations. She was the only one who got them from him. He had a reputation to uphold after all. He smiled down at the cat as she yawned and curled a little closer to him, causing a jolt to go down his spine.
"Is it bedtime now, my darling?" he asked softly, "Is it time for us to go to bed?" Mrs Norris mewled and he chuckled. "Your wish is my command, my love…come to bed." And he stood, carrying the cat over to the bedroom, letting the door swing shut behind him.
"Oh my beauty…"
Ramble Time: Okay, well Jiggy was mad cause apparently I gave her a horrible pairing last time (hehehe…) so she gave me THIS pairing! How cruel. Love to you all xxx
