I do not own Harry Potter. I only own Tiffani.
Story Start
I woke up later to someone calling my cat name. I opened my eyes and looked down from the shelf to see Draco standing there calling my name. I looked around for Severus but I didn't see him. "What's up with this?" I thought and stood up to stretch some. I sat at the edge of the shelf and looked down at Draco again. "What do you want?" I meowed but of course he didn't understand.
"It's time for dinner. Severus said that you could go with me tonight to dinner," Draco called up at me again.
"Fine," I meowed and jumped off the shelf and onto Draco's shoulder. He actually didn't stumble when I jumped onto his shoulder. He reached over and scratched under my chin before he started walking out of the classroom. "I'm still surprised my godfather has a familiar now. When did he get you?" Draco asked himself but I wanted to answer anyways.
"He didn't get me. He found me after I was transported here after being turned into a cat," I meowed and Draco chuckled at me.
"I'm surprised he has a familiar that meows so much," he said and stopped when I used a paw to mess with his hair. "Silly cat," he said and scratched my chin again before he kept walking to the dining area.
He walked past other students with different color patches on their robes. I heard a couple of the students whispering about me being on his shoulder, and it was clear that the students gave him a lot of room. "Either he is one of the popular kids or the bullies," I thought while getting a free ride to the dining area. "Or maybe they're just jealous of his hair. Such a pretty color and it's natural. Seriously, what is up with the magic genes," I thought as I kept batting at his hair as he walked over to sit at his table from earlier.
I jumped off his shoulder and onto the table before he took his seat. I got a few pets from some of his friends, who were sitting around him earlier. I was about to eat a piece of food from one of the students but I heard Severus' voice. I looked up to see him standing behind Draco.
"Did Lady give you any trouble?" Severus asked Draco.
"No trouble at all," Draco answered and pet my head.
"Lady, time to eat," Severus said and he scoffed when I jumped off the table and ran to the teacher table before he could grab me. I jumped up on the teacher table and then jumped into his chair. I heard Draco trying to hide a laugh from his godfather, who was scowling at me when I looked over the table from the chair.
Hagrid and the older man who usually sat on the other side of Severus were chuckling at me. Severus walked up to his chair and motioned for me to move, but I just stretched out on the chair and looked at him. He sighed and picked me up, put me back on the table, then sat down in his chair. He was almost pouting at me but he was hiding it behind a scowl. I couldn't help but snicker at him.
"I do believe she is playing with you, Severus," the older man said with a chuckle.
"It seems to be that way, Albus," Severus said with a snappy tone but he gave me a gentle pet on the head.
I ate quickly after my food and water appeared. I wanted to explore the teacher table and check out the other professors. Thankfully, Severus was once again caught up in a discussion after I finished eating. I quickly walked away from my food bowls and went down the table to where the other professors were sitting. There was one woman with really large glasses sitting by a shorter man. They were caught up in a discussion so I stayed away from them. There was another woman who looked like some of my favorite teachers. She looked really strict and strict teachers were always my favorite in school because I learned the most from them.
She set down her glass when I stepped closer to her. For some reason, she smelled like another cat. How my cat brain just knew that, I have no idea. The point is she smelled like a cat. "Are you a cat person too?" I meowed at her, but she just tilted her head at me before reaching out to pet me. "You're not," I meowed a little sadly.
The other professors looked cool, but for some reason I liked staying by the strict woman teacher. She also gave me a treat from her plate but we won't tell Severus about that. "I need to quit being a cat," I thought as I leaned into her hand again since she was petting my head.
"There you are, I should put a bell on you, Lady," Severus said and I looked up to see him standing behind the strict woman's chair.
"Oh she wasn't any trouble," the strict woman said.
"See, I'm not any trouble," I meowed at him, which made him narrow his eyes at me. I just flicked my tail a bit at him.
"In that case, I have a favor to ask of you, Minerva," Severus said and the strict woman looked at him in interest.
"What is this favor?" Minerva asked back.
"The students in my first few classes are brewing a volatile potion and she does not need to be in there breathing the fumes. Would it be alright if she stays in your classroom during the classes before lunch?" Severus asked.
Minerva sat quietly for a moment before nodding. "That will be fine. I'll also make sure none of the students decide to use her to demonstrate Transfiguration," Minerva replied and Severus picked me up from the table.
"Thank you, you can take her to your classroom after breakfast tomorrow," Severus told her before we left the dining area.
