Mr and Mrs Filch, of number 9, Queens Street, were proud to say they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. Well, as normal as any other wizarding family, living surrounded by muggles in the middle of London. Mr. Filch worked for the Ministry of Magic (no surprises there), while Mrs Filch helped out in the Apothecary in Diagonal Alley. They had two children, Argus and Arabella, and were perfectly happy.
That is, till Arabella's 11th birthday.
Neither of the children had been showing any distinct magical behaviour, but both Mr and Mrs Filch were hoping that they were just late bloomers.
But the letter never came.
Two years later, the family's hopes were up once again. Argus was turning eleven and he had once made the family cat fly across the room.
But the letter never came.
Mr and Mrs Filch, however, were not disappointed or ashamed of their children. They decided that no matter what, even if they were unable to perform magic, they should be educated and experienced.
After finishing muggle school, Arabella went on a tour around Europe, learning about different magical animals and where they could be found. On returning to London after a year, she even met a certain Mr. Scamander, who helped her in opening her own little business selling various a animals, especially cross-breed cats and kneazles.
She later went on to marry a muggle with whom she had studied, a certain Athelstan Figg.
Argus, even after completing school was unable to find a job that suited him. However, his mother was on good terms with the then potions master Professor Slughorn, seeing as he bought all his supplies from her. He managed to get Argus a job at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, first as an assistant and later as the caretaker, when Apollyon Pringle retired in 1973.
Hearing about Argus's new job, Arabella insisted on giving him a small gift. A tiny, dust coloured kitten with beautiful yellow eyes.
Argus loved Mrs Norris.
A/N: Something weird happened the first time i posted this, so here it is again.
The idea popped into my head at like 2 in the morning and I woke up thinking I'll make it a funny little piece, and ended up with this again.
If you like it, please tell me, I can try and write more!
