Draco had thrown himself on the couch as soon as they'd gotten back to the common room.
"what was that noise?" He asked, hearing something that sounded like a meow.
"probably just Crookshanks." Hermione said, going to her door and opening it slightly.
"no, it sounded closer than that, besides I put that thing out of the common room before we left."
He said getting up to investigate.
"what do you mean you put him out?" Hermione asked, going to the entrance to the common room and opening it.
"he's probably gone outside," he supplied, "into the dark forest to get eaten." He added under his breath. He knew that the fur ball hated him almost as much as he hated it. He walked into his room for the first time to see a big ball of fur laying on his bed, he'd tried to get it off but the blasted thing bit him.
"I can't believe you Draco! He's my pet. I wouldn't do that to your pet!" Hermione said, she looked rather hurt.
"I don't' have a pet so it would be impossible for you to do that even if you wanted to." He said rolling his eyes to the ceiling.
"you're impossible!" she fumed, glaring at him.
"well if the thing hadn't scratched me it would be nice and cozy in your lap by now, I'm sure."
He said pulling up his sleeve to show the red scratches that lined his arm.
"Sorry." Hermione said, looking embarrassed.
"Yeah well, you should get rid of the blasted cat." He growled at her before feeling a set of tiny claws latch onto his leg. "Ow!"
"What?" she asked, watching him jump up and down.
"Something's on my leg!"
"What?" Hermione asked, walking over to him and looking down at his robes. There was a slight bulge in the back of his right calf.
"Ow!" he said again, glaring at her when she giggled again.
"Oh stop being a ninny! Now stop squirming or I won't be able to help." Hermione said,
kneeling down in front of him and lifting up his robe. "Taber! How did you get here honey?" she cooed to the kitten before detaching him from his leg and cradled it to her chest.
"The thing mangled my leg and you're cuddling it! That should be my leg in your bleeding arms!" he exclaimed throwing a glare at the small kitten, that was still in Hermione's arms.
"I feel your pain, Draco, really I do but I'm sorry, I don't feel all that sorry for you! You get what's coming to you buddy." She said standing up and going to her room. "Come on Taber, I'll keep you safe from the crazy person." -
After a slammed door, and an hour alone, Draco calmed down enough to see Hermione's side of the whole deal. It didn't change his opinion but he saw it her way.
"Hermione? Will you open the door?" he asked after listening to hear if she was awake.
"Just open the door, Draco." She called.
He followed her instructions and opened the door, to see her laying down with the ball of fur she called Taber curled up on her stomach.
"I'msorryforactingthewayI did." He said as quickly as possible.
"wait, what?" she said sitting up, causing the sleeping kitten to fall into her lap.
"I'm sorry for acting the way I did. I hate it when people need it spelled out for them." He said sighing. (A/N: got that from Dogma lol.)
"fine, I'm sorry too, I should have at least healed it." She said waving a hand to his leg
"I wouldn't think of it that way, but if that's how you take it, then that's how you take it." He said going over to sit on her bed.
She sighed and laid back down, knowing he wouldn't be leaving for a while.
