Cat Nip

Draco picked up the small carrying case and left it on his godfather's doorstep, Apparating away from Spinner's End with a sharp crack...

-PoV-

Severus groggily awoke, wiping a hand over his face as he rolled out of bed and onto his feet. The days after the Dark Lord's defeat had been rough; at least for HIM, anyway. He'd almost died of Nagini's snake venom before the Potter brat had summoned Fawkes to him and ordered the rare bird to heal him with his tears. Now he owed the missing brat a life-debt...

He grumbled as he wandlessly fixed himself a cup of strong black tea, mixing a single spoonful of sugar and milk with it. Generations of Princes'd had their tea in much the same manner. It was what had gotten him the immense Prince fortune after the Second War. Now he was content, brewing potions until the hospitals had lessened their demand; yes content, but not particularly happy. Draco annoyed/informed him of thing going on outside his Muggle home at Spinner's End. In only a tanktop and sweats, he opened the door to see his copy of the Daily Prophet and a carrier that had a sticky-note on it in Draco's scrawl.

Dear Sev,

Take care of him. I found him at the edge of the Malfoy Manor wards, injured and barely breathing.

Your Godson,
Draco

Scowling at the note, he picked his newspaper and the carrier, astonished to see how light it was. He set his newspaper down on his coffee table and proceeded to open it. The cute cat meowed at him, limping out and curling up in his lap, almost blending in with his sweats. Green cat eyes looked up and he absently checked the sex; male, was it? Severus sighed, then scowled at Draco's face when it appeared in the fire.

"So?"

"Draco, bring your sorry arse here, now. And no excuses." He added sourly as Draco's lover laughed in the background. "Really, Mr. McLaggen? That's beneath you, Dragon." He cancelled the fire-call, petting the cat as he gently examined the bandage his godson had placed on its paw. The bandage covered an extensive dog bite and the paw was almost crushed. Severus soothed the cat as he straightened the paw out and the cat yowled, digging claws into his thigh. "Ouch, you little furball! I am not a pincushion..." The black cat froze as his voice rose in volume. He lowered his voice and the cat visibly relaxed against his thigh, obligingly stretching out the injured paw as best he could. Tapping it with his wand a few times, the cat squirmed but didn't freak out, which meant it was a magical cat and therefore someone's familiar. It was a shame, really, since he was particularly fond of black cats... The cat yawned and curled up to sleep in his lap.

-PoV-

A few hours later, Draco cautiously entered his godfather's house. McLaggen had tagged along and he wasn't too keen on the idea of entering with a disapproved boyfriend. What came into his sight, he would never forget. There, on the couch, his godfather was sleeping with the cat tucked close to him, chest slowly rising and falling.

"Awww... It's adorable." Draco looked at Cormac like he was crazy. "The cat, not your godfather. Although, he is pretty hot. Who was chasing after his tail?"

"My grandfather, the Dark Lord, Sirius Black, James Potter, Lily Potter née Evans... The more apt question, my dear Lion, is who wasn't?" Cormac whistled lowly.

"Wow. Poor Professor... And he probably was happy that none of his students approached him."

"Three did and they were sent back in tears; a Slytherin, a Hufflepuff, and a Ravenclaw. The Gryffs kept their affection distant, which is a surprise, mind you."

"There was a rumor floating around that Harry Potter had an eye on him in Gryffindor. Did you know that?" Draco chuckled quietly.

"No, and thank you for that tidbit, love. Now, to leave without him noticing you were-Eep!" A calloused hand dropped onto his shoulder and he was staring up at his godfather.

"Going somewhere, Dragon? Mr. McLaggen, pleasure to meet you outside of my classroom. Now, what is the meaning of this?" He lifted the small cat with a long-fingered hand, cradling it as the hand on his shoulder tightened to the point of pain. The fact that his godfather's voice was not raised promised agony if he did not answer correctly. You did not, under any circumstances, piss off a former Death Eater; especially a spy by the name of Severus Snape.

"You have a Degree in Animal Care. I do not... I did the best I could. I'm a Healer, not a Creature Expert." He said shortly, keeping his tone neutral.

"Ah. Your note," Here Severus waved the sticky note after letting go of him to retrieve it, "did not say who he belonged to."

"No tags, Uncle Sev, no chip, nothing. He's a homeless cutey, so I left him with you." He said, shrugging and petting the affectionate cat as it rubbed demandingly against his hand, purring up a storm.

"Traitor." The cat looked up and meowed at his godfather, butting the slim fingers that hovered just above his fur. Uncle Sev chuckled softly as he also gave in to the cat. "I thought I petted you asleep the first time around. Did I not give you enough attention?" His godfather stood there, speaking with the small cat as though he understood him. To his, Cormac's, and his godfather's everlasting shock, the cat shook his head no. Instantly, Uncle Sev Summoned a large, thick tome with runic writing on it, flicking through the floating book with frightening speed. "Nundu. You left a NUNDU CUB on my doorstep. Did you not learn anything in Care of Magical Creatures or did you fool around?" Draco's eyes widened as he heard the disgust as well as the animal being held by his godfather. Oh hell, he'd fucked up royally!

Ending A/N: Anybody wanna take a crack at who the kitty/Nundu is? Mwahahahaha! Virtual cookies and Chocolate Frogs for those of you who get it right. PM me if you think you have the answer. ^~^ Yes, there will be more of this, so don't ask. R&R, please? With a kitty on top?
