Audrey's foot pounded on the cobblestone streets of Diagon Alley. Her boots were damp from the puddle she had accidentally ran through. She pushed through a gaggle of gossiping witches until she heard a soft mewing. She stopped and looked down at a small white kitten, with patches of brown and black,curled up by the side of the building. She bent down to get a closer look at the shivering animal. "Well, hello there," she said as the kitten inched closer to the human.

As much as Audrey hated to admit it, the small kitten was abandoned. It needed an animal. She wouldn't have any luck finding the kitten the witch or wizard it belonged to. If she didn't take the animal home, it would starve or be trampled to death. She would be able to take of the kitten easily. "Poor kitten, I wondered what kind of mean person would leave you here," she said as the kitten flicked her tail under her chair after it climbed onto her shoulder.

She decided she needed to find a pet store to buy a litter box and cat food. If she bought cat supplies and brought it home, Percy would have to accept the kitten as part of the family. "I wonder what we're going to call you little guy," she cooed and stood up. She walked down the streets until the kitten leapt from her shoulder and scurried away.

"Oh no," she muttered as she chased after the kitten. On her way, she crashed into a tall thin red-headed man. "I'm so sorry," she said catching her breath. "I just found this kitten, and it ran off, and I was trying to catch it."

"It's fine," he replied looking down at the young woman. When she looked up into his blue eyes and scarred face, she realized she had crashed into Bill Weasley. Unfortunately, this only added to her embarrassment.

Bill had found work to be an escape from his overly-hormonal wife. As much as he adore Fleur, he was exhausted and needed a break from her bizzarre cravings. To be honest, he didn't feel like going home just yet. He asked, "Do you need help finding your kitten?"

Audrey nodded and answered, "Yes, thanks. I'd like that." The two looked high and low for the small kitten. Finally, Bill found the small kitten by a puddle of water. The animal was crouched over the puddle and drinking from it. "Oh, there you are," she said scooping the kitten into her arms. "So Bill, what do you think Percy is going to say about it?"

Bill remembered when Percy found Scabbers. He brought the rat into the house and looked up at his older brothers. His eyes were wide and pleading as he asked, "Do you think mum will let me keep him?" Bill found Audrey's hazel eyes just as pleading and the tone just as worried.

"Yeah, I'm sure he will love it," he replied.

"Oh good, thank you," she answered with a huge brilliant white smile,"I better get this kitten some food. I guess I better get going. Thanks for helping me out." Bill nodded as he watched the young woman with a cat perched on her shoulder. He couldn't pinpoint what he found so endearing about her. Perhaps, it was her sincerity or her genuine love for the small animal, but he hoped that she stayed with his brother. He decided to return to his pregnant girlfriend. He was sure he'd hear about the kitten's adventures at the Weasley's Sunday dinners.

"Here's your new home, kitty," Audrey said when they arrived at her flat. She closed the door behind her and placed the feline on the floor. "Go explore your new home," she said as she walked into the kitchen. She put a large brown book on the counter and pulled out a silver small metallic bowl. She placed it on the floor and opened the can of cat food. She put half of the cat food in the bowl as the kitten walked into the kitchen. The small animal began eating its food while Audrey pulled out a bag of cat litter and a litterbox.

She went to the bathroom and began preparing its litter box. She heard a pop then Percy say, "Audrey, why is there a kitten in the kitchen?" Her head jolted up before she quickly finished preparing the litterbox. She got off the floor and walked into the living room.

"Well, I found it on the street, and I didn't want it to starve to death so I brought it home," she explained. She bit her bottom lip as she brushed some auburn hair out of her eyes.

The curious kitten journeyed into the living room. It released a soft meow as Percy bent down. The kitten ran its small body under his outstretched hand. "Well, have you named it yet?" he asked.

"No, I didn't know if you were going to let me keep it," she replied with a mischevious sloppy grin.

"If he's going to stay, he will need a name," he said looking into Audrey's reflective hazel eyes, "how about Leo?"

"I think that's a little overused for a kitten," she retorted as she watched the kitten climb onto Percy's head. The feline buried itself in Percy's abundant red curls, and she stifled a giggle. "How about Biscuit?"

Percy replied imitating Audrey's objection, "I think the other kitten will judge him too easily. We don't need him feeling insecure about his fur."

Audrey shook her head in mild disbelief although she wanted to laugh at him. "How about Mungojerrie?" she asked.

"I like it," he replied standing up, "Mungojerrie it is."

"Welcome home, Mungojerrie Percival Davis-Weasley," she said standing on her tip toes to pet the small animal snuggled in Percy's locks.

Percy smiled and handed Mungojerrie to Audrey. Although he was fond of the cat's full name despite its length, he was mildly troubled by the Davis-Weasley. They had been together for two years and two months, but Audrey seemed to see herself apart from him. He hadn't proposed to her yet, but he didn't want to pressure her into marriage. He wanted her to be ready when he was going to propose. Unfortunately, he had a feeling that the red velvet box in his pocket would remain unopened until he was a decrepit old man. Luckily, he would be able to talk to his family about the matter.

"Thanks Percy," she said kissing him on the cheek and bringing Percy back to reality.

"For?"

"Letting me keep the kitten."

"Darling, I'm sure you would've whether I liked it or not. Personally, I'm glad you didn't leave the kitten to rot in the streets. I think little Mungojerrie is a perfect addition to our little family," Percy said. Audrey caught the gleam in his eyes. She smirked as she wondered if her impulsive decision brought them closer together than expected.

Later that night, Percy watched his girlfriend sleep because he couldn't. Her long hair fell over her shoulder as she turned over onto her side. In fear that he would wake her, he refrained from touching her. He crept out of bed and snuck into the living room. He sat down on the sofa and decided to send a letter to Bill and Charlie. They would be able to tell him what to do. He needed to ensure that Audrey wouldn't discover his plan to propose. He didn't want to scare her away, but a certain kitten was watching him and had plans of its own.
