(a/n - so this one is for the Weakness Potion – Write a fic under 300 words. And it is a more common pairing this time - mmad. Because who doesn't like something that's mmad, eh?)
Of Letters And Lovers.
Albus signed his name with a flourish, and smiled to himself as the final owl took off with the letter. Now, he could spend an evening listening to music or whatever he desired, until the message came. Delivered by a small, school owl, Albus wondered who was contacting him, and smiled upon opening the letter.
'The wise old owl who lives in the tower, sitting there with so much power, is taunting a wee little pussy, who is actually really rather fussy!'
Albus smiled, and replied.
"My dearest little darling cat, why not play with a dungeon bat? Though that would make the old owl mad, and ultimately really very sad.'
The next letter arrived soon after.
'The cat wouldn't play with that dungeon sulk, so by your side, she will skulk. Until the owl makes her purr, by loving and stroking her fur.'
Albus shook his head at the childishness of the notes, knowing he would be the only one to see such infantile flirting. He replied.
'Your notes make the old owl smile, even for a little while. Your fur he would love to groom, but needs an invite to your room!'
The next reply was almost instantaneous.
'I curl into a little ball, and wait for my owl, so tall. For a while I will wait, so my owl, do not be late!'
Albus rushed to her rooms, where he whispered into the darkness
"Of you I am fond, and our unique bond, An owl and a pussycat together, I hope it is forever."
A figure appeared out of the darkness, and they both smiled. Albus and Minerva, the owl and the pussycat, would spend their evening with one another, as nocturnal beings, just like owls and pussycats do.
(a/n - so what do you think? I managed it in under 300 words! Obviously word count is higher die to these author's notes and the title.)
