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

Story Start

"Excuse me, Professor McGonagall, but Professor Snape asked that I bring Lady to his classroom," I heard Draco talking near me. I raised my head and let out a big yawn. I looked up to see Draco standing in front of Minerva, who was standing in front of her desk. All the other students around Draco's age were leaving the classroom.

"So the volatile potions for animals are done for the day?" Minerva asked as she reached over her desk to pick me up and hand me to Draco.

"Yes Professor," Draco said as he took me into his arms. I butted my head gently against his chin before snuggling into his arms.

"Please tell Professor Snape that if he ever needs me to watch her again, I will be glad to do so. She was no trouble," Minerva told Draco before he left the room so he could get to his next class, which I guessed was potions.

"Why does everyone say I'm no trouble? It's like they expect me to be trouble in the first place. I am offended," I meowed up at Draco, who just tried not to laugh at me. His friends joined him as soon as we were out of the Transfiguration classroom and they did chuckle at me as they walked to the dungeon's potion classroom. I hid my face in Draco's chest when he stepped onto the moving staircases. I didn't move my face from his chest until we were off the staircases. I glared at the things too. I didn't like them at all.

The walk to the dungeons was relatively quiet until we were almost to the classroom. Three students were standing in the way with some other students around them. They were all wearing the red lion patches on their robes. I felt Draco tense and I looked around to see his friends were tensed up too. I meowed questionably before looking back at the red patch students, who were glaring at Draco and his friends.

"Oh I don't like this," I thought and glanced between all of the students.

"Didn't think Snape was the type for pets or are you and Snape torturing the animal, Malfoy?" the red head spat out as he tried to look intimidating, but really he just looked like his face was trying to resemble a tomato.

"Is he an idiot?" I meowed even though no one understood me. I shied back a bit into Draco's chest and hissed when the brown haired girl with the boys stepped towards us.

"You have no idea what you're talking about, Weasel," Draco snapped and I felt him hold me a little tighter with one arm as his other arm disappeared into his robe.

"Look at the poor thing, give her to me. You and Professor Snape shouldn't be hurting her like this," the brown haired girl snapped and she wasn't even looking at me, just glaring at Draco.

Her hands reached out for me again and before Draco could aim his wand at her, my claws flicked out and scratched her hand. I hissed angrily at her and her friends. Bullying was always something I could not stand. I especially didn't appreciate these three thinking Severus and Draco were harming me when I was perfectly fine and happy. I wasn't happy about the fact that I'm still a cat, but I'm at least I'm cared for by Severus and his godson.

A door slamming open stopped whatever the red haired boy was about to say next. Severus was standing in the doorway to his classroom and he was not looking happy about the scene in front of the classroom. He sneered down at the students before seeing Hermione trying to grab me again and I was hissing at her. "Miss Granger, I suggest you keep your hands away from my familiar unless you would like more scratch marks to match the ones you already have," Severus snapped when he noticed the scratch marks already on her hands.

Severus stepped away from the door and motioned for the students to enter the room. Draco and his friends entered the classroom last, and Draco walked up to Severus' desk so he could set me down on it. I thanked him with a little meow, but of course he didn't understand what I said. He gave a small smirk to me before going to his desk.

Severus slammed the door shut behind him and stalked into the classroom to be at the front of the class. He waved his hand and new directions appeared on the chalk board for the students to get to work. I paced around his desk as I watched the students rush to get the ingredients and tools they would need for today's potion.

"Hello, did you miss me?" I meowed up at Severus when he walked over to stand in front of his desk. He didn't pet me, but that's ok because I rubbed my face into his hand, which was near me. He didn't move his hand away so I had a feeling that he wanted me to rub my head against his hand anyways. "Strange, silly man, just scratch my ears," I meowed and snickered even though he kept his focus on the students around the room. I was ok with him paying attention to them because I didn't feel like seeing an explosion or any other problems in the potion classroom.

Class ended without any problems, but Severus did end up taking house points from Gryffindor, the red patch students, and he assigned detention to the girl that I scratched earlier and her two friends. I had jumped off the desk to be away from them when they brought their potions to the front of the classroom.

"Mr. Malloy, stay after class," Severus called out before Draco and his friends left the room. I jumped back on the desk to see Draco take a seat back at one of the desks and Severus used magic to make the door close behind the last student.
