Mrs. Norris was never fond of stray cats. She did not appreciate bratty little homeless kitties that could find themselves an owner using just their over-sized eyes. And most of all, she hated felines that were not First-Class, like herself.
That would be why she was out to rid the world of them.
Mrs. Norris drew herself up proudly. She was queen of this school, and no scruffy kitten could overthrow her. She patrolled the corridors and expected respect, otherwise the criminals in question would answer to her henchmen – henchman – Argus Filch.
What she never predicted was a stray cat to actually have the nerve to bump into her.
A low growl rumbled deep inside her. Her ears tawny ears perked up, her steely eyes narrowed. Adrenaline surged through her. She felt like a fierce lion. Like she had said, no scruffy kitten would overthrow her.
Mrs. Norris crept away. The feline had disappeared as quickly as it came, so she never got the chance to get a good look at him. Not to worry, she would catch him, no doubt. At least she knew that he was still on the same floor as her. If he tried to retreat to another level, he would be caught in the trick staircase. Mrs. Norris, you have done it this time, she congratulated herself. Her plan was all worked out. Now to find the bastard.
Mrs. Norris followed the distinct scent that the cat carried leading her past twists and turns when suddenly, she spotted him. She backed up a little to be shielded by the last corner he had led her past, only to see that the cat was totally vulnerable, which was strange for a stray. Usually they would have been through enough to know that they should never let their guard down.
She pounced into action at once, not wanting to let the culprit escape her clutches. The cat's black fur was distinct against the tan walls, making him very easy to trace. Mrs. Norris could see, from her angle, that the feline had vivid green eyes and a bit of white fur at the tips of his paws. The rascal leaped onto a staircase, taking Mrs. Norris by surprise. Which was even stranger was that the cat knew about the trick step in the middle of the staircase. Mrs. Norris shook it off. It was probably a coincidence, anyways. She skidded to a stop and then jumped back into pursuit of the mysterious cat. She hopped up the steps and crept along the railing. She was going to take this monster by surprise and-
But the feline was nowhere to be found. At least, not on the ground, anyways. Instead the cat was being picked up by a blonde-haired boy. She had seen this boy before, usually surrounded by his pack of friends that followed him everywhere. His skin was pale against his steely eyes, which flicked in her direction. He shooed her away with his foot and stalked away, carrying that idiot cat off with him. Mrs. Norris glared coldly from a distance at the two. Oh, well. She would get him next time.
…what she also did not know was that that worthless stray was Harry Potter.
