Prompt: (116) Cat
Written for the If You Dare Challenge (REVIVED!)
Prompt: (8) "Never bite the hand that feeds you."
"Ron? Could you feed Crookshanks before you go to work, please? I'm in a rush and need to get going."
I force a smile while cursing under my breath at the very thought. "Sure, Hermione, no problem. I'll see you later, love."
She hurries over and kisses me before dashing out of the door as if someone had lit a fire behind her, and I turn to the devil cat, who is staring at me with equal disgust. We've been getting along OK since my fourth year at Hogwarts, but since I started dating Hermione, I swear the little bugger is jealous.
"Alright, Crookshanks, let's get you fed."
As I turn around to go into the kitchen, the fiery little demon goes for my foot and digs his claws in. I growl and shake him off, and he runs off to his usual hiding place behind the shoe rack.
"I guess you've not heard of the saying, Never bite the hand that feeds you.
I feel him brushing against my leg and purring like we are old friends as I spoon some food into his bowl, the two-faced git. I bend down and stroke him, making him purr louder. Somewhere along the way, I have ended up quite fond of Hermione's cat, but it will be a long time before I will admit it out loud.
