"Love Thy Pet for It Is Your Heart"

Chapter 1: I want to be a pet

"Are you absolutely sure that this is what you want?" Albus Dumbledore looked ancient as he slouched in his large, wingback chair. He was currently in his office having a rather strange discussion with Professor Snape.

After all of these years, Voldemort was finally dead. The war had ended and people were returning to their lives and ambitions. However, it was the odd ambition of Severus Snape that had him feeling old beyond his years.

The potions master nodded, his expression serious yet tired. As if he didn't have the energy to properly explain his request. "I assure you, this is not some unthought outwhim of mine."

The headmaster smiled at his friend's never changing attitude. "Severus, I know that you would never even think about something like this without putting serious thought into every aspect of it." He, himself, still couldn't believe the big change that Severus wanted to make in his life. "How about this? Let me talk it over with Minerva and harry. Oh, you don't mind if I tell them, do you?"

Severus shook his head. Harry and Minerva had become close friends with him ever since the fall of the dark lord. War had pulled them all together. He had even become civil towards Potter. He and Harry could sit for hours and talk.

With a forced smile, Albus said, "You are free to go to your rooms if you wish. We'll talk this over and I promise to get back to you on it as soon as I can."

After giving a small bow as a goodnight, the potions master quietly left the room. Albus had seen the look of doubt on his friend's face. When he realized the courage it must have took the man to come to him with something like this. Something so personal.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Dumbledore rose from his chair and made his way over to the hearth. He firecalled Harry and Minerva, asking them to come over immediately. After a few minutes, a young man and an old witch stepped out of the fireplace.

"What is this all about, Albus? It's been a while since you last called a meeting," said Minerva as she agitatedly dusted the soot off of her emerald robes.

Harry spoke with more calm. "Yeah, what's up?" His bright green eyes were shadowed with worry.

"It's Severus," replied Albus as he sunk heavily back into his leather chair.

This made Harry tense up. He and the professor had been getting closer ever since the end of the war. Harry had come to the point of seeing Severus as a friend. "What is it? What happened to him?" he questioned worriedly.

Albus held up a hand to calm the boy. "He is fine, but he has asked a favor of me."

"What is it?" asked Minerva wearily.

After letting out a heavy sigh, Dumbledore answered, "He wants to be a pet."

Want more? Then please review.

I haven't been getting many on my new stuff and it's worrying me. If my stories suck just tell me.
