I do not own Harry Potter. I only own Tiffani.

Story Start

"If his last name is Snape, then I wonder what his first name is?" were my thoughts by the end of the class. The students in this class were doing ok on their potions and Professor Snape didn't seem as hateful to them like he did the students with the red patches earlier. "Not good to be bias," were also my thoughts since I was completely bored and hungry at this point. "Need food," I muttered which of course came out as more meows.

"Professor, is your cat alright?" one of the students with yellow patches questioned Professor Snape, who was walking around the room.

I looked over at Professor Snape at the same time that he glanced at me. "Food," I meowed out again and it was louder this time, which made some of the students snicker. Professor Snape stared me down again before looking at the student.

"The cat is fine. Focus on your potion," he said and the student quickly went back to working on the potion at her table.

"I'm not fine. I'm starving," I grumbled as I started pacing around the desk to at least have something to do, even though the pacing made me hungrier. "Being a cat sucks," I grumbled and once again felt myself flying through the air as bells tolled through the castle. I hissed angrily as the man held me and the students put their potion vials on his desk. "I do not appreciate the whole flying through the air. I'm not meant to fly," I snapped which came out as more disgruntled sounds and hisses.

My hisses and angry meows immediately stopped when I felt Professor Snape pet my head and scratch behind my neck and ears. "Ok, ok, I change my mind, being a cat is bearable," I thought and enjoyed the scratches, which my loud purrs showed my appreciation.

The students put the vials of unknown potions onto his desk and left the classroom. Professor Snape kept his hold on me as he left his classroom. I once again watched different students rush by while giving Professor Snape plenty of room. I couldn't help but giggle, which came out as a sneeze, when I saw his robe billowing behind him as he walked. "Strut man, strut," I thought in my head as he kept walking upstairs back to what I guessed was the main floor of the castle. He was walking towards a noisy area. He entered a large dining hall and kids of all ages were sitting at four large tables. He walked past the tables without glancing at any student, but I noticed some students look at him curiously, or more specifically me in his arms.

I ignored the students since he kept walking up to a large table at the head of the room with a bunch of other adults in really interesting outfits and robes. One man looked like a giant compared to everyone else. Professor Snape took a seat beside the giant man and a really old man with a long beard.

"I didn't know you got a pet, Severus," the old man said to the man holding me.

"So his first name is Severus. I like it," I thought as Severus set me on the table next to a bowl of fish and a bowl of water. "Food," I cheered in my mind as I purred happily before digging into the food.

"She's not mine. I found her in the courtyard and the student who lost her will serve detention," Severus explained as he started eating his own plate of food which was grilled chicken and looked so much better than my bowl of fish.

"I see," the older man said before eating a bit of his own food.

"She's a beautiful little calico," the giant man said now and I saw his hand approaching me. He didn't seem to have bad intentions so I let him pet my back while I ate.

The older man stood up and cleared his throat which silenced the students in the room. "Students, Professor Snape has found a lost pet. Please step forward if this is your cat," he announced and pointed towards me. I looked up and wanted to scoff. I wasn't any of these students' pets.

None of the students came forward. I yawned and jumped down from the table to sit in Severus' lap. He looked down at me before looking back at the students.

"Well it seems she is a stray," the older man said as he sat back down after instructing the students to continue their meal.

"I can take her if you want," the giant man said and went to grab me but I meowed unhappily and snuggled more into Severus' lap.

I didn't know the giant man and Severus hadn't hurt me. If I was going to be taken care of I at least wanted someone who had earned my trust so far. Hopefully I could somehow tell him that I'm not really a cat.

"I believe I will keep her, but if I have any questions, I will let you know, Hagrid," Severus said and I relaxed when I felt him put his hand on my back. He pet me the rest of the meal and then carried me from the dining hall to the dungeon area again. I watched in shock as he said something and a portrait moved to reveal an entrance way.

"Don't make me regret this," Severus said with a sigh as he sat down on a couch in front of a fireplace. He released me and I jumped off his lap to sit on the couch. I meowed and looked up at him as sweetly as I could as a cat.

He waved his wand and I watched a litter box with litter appear in the corner. He waved the wand again and a bowl of water appeared in another area of the living room. "There, now I need to finish those papers before bed," he spoke to himself. He stood from the couch and left me alone in the living room.

I looked at the litter box and shuddered. "That's not happening," I thought and jumped off the couch to look for the bathroom.
