When I sat down, it was with the intention of updating Borrowed Life. It really was! But somehow, my muse turned my attention to this little fic I had written one day during class. Originally, I had no plans to continue this, but the words came out just the same…
Hope you like!
Chapter One
The Introduction
Severus Snape sat at his desk, quill scraping furiously on the parchment. He was correcting papers from his 4th year Slytherins, muttering how his own house could be so bloody incabable of writing a simple essay on the properties and uses of Basilisk poison. He had to really restrain himself from decorating entire pages with red inked insults.
Suddenly, a noise raised him from his concentration. It sounded like metal hitting against metal. He looked at his left and sighed, eyeing the cage that stood there. He'd forgotten, again. The paperwork always took so much of his time.
Inside the little cage was his most prized possession. His pride and joy. Pets like his were hard to find and even then, they were extremely expensive. He'd had to borrow a bit from his friend Lucius to be able to buy this one.
It had been worth it.
Snape had taken quite some time to input some manners on it, but it had all paid off in the end. His pet was desired by many people, and Severus himself was often the object of their envy.
Severus was a worldly known Potions Master, and his accomplishments were recognized by the best. However, nothing compared to the feeling of actually owning it.
The way it would fight him, yet obey his each and every command. Even the way it moaned and moved it's body as it was stroked. Like a big kitten.
Yes, that's what it was. A very big kitten. All claw and bite, but it melted and purred all the same.
He stood up, and picked something that had been resting on his desk for far to long. He walked around the cage to the side that had a door. All the while, his pet stared at him, head half bowed, eyes boring into him.
Severus stopped at the front, and stared back. Black eyes looking into green ones.
Warm, intense, green eyes that screamed 'feed me, dammit!', while holding hard onto the chains around it.
