Chapter 29 – The King of the Cats

'Harry?' Larissa asked Harry the next morning

'Yeah?'

'We haven't had a DA meeting for ages.'

'We had one last week,'

'But that was ages ago.'

Harry grinned, and then he took out his coin and changed the date, they went along to the Room of Requirement, along with Ron and Hermione, and they started to set up.

Students started to arrive, and Hermione looked at the list, to make sure that everyone was there.

'Hi everyone, now there's only three months left of the term, and it's going to be very busy. Fifth years have their OWLs and of the few seventh years that there are, they are doing NEWTS, so I will teach you as much as I can in as little time as I can. We can't take your study time away, but at the same time, we can't be unprepared, it's nearly been a year since Voldemort returned, and he is getting stronger, so we'll begin.'

Harry taught the seventh years some advanced spells, while Hermione taught the sixth and fifth years some NEWT spells, that they would be able to get the hang of, Ron taught the fourth, and third year students some OWL spells, and the second and first years did their best.

Soon everyone had mastered at least two new spells, and Harry was going over everything, with everyone.

They had a few more meetings, that month and it was nearly the end of March.

Back in the common room, Nero came flying through the window, and landed on Larissa's lap.

'Nero, what are you doing here?' She untied the letter, wondering why it hadn't come at breakfast, it read,

Larissa,

Sorry we haven't been able to reply sooner, it's been really busy here, you know why.

Leave Snowbelle with Pomfrey, until she has her kittens, if she is pregnant.

We'll send you a longer letter when there's more time,

Love you,

Mum and Dad xxxxxx

She went up to her dormitory and picked up Snowbelle carefully. She looked at her cats stomach, she definitely was pregnant. She took her to the hospital wing and explained to Madame Pomfrey, who said that she wouldn't have kittens being born at Hogwarts, but she would make an exception this just this once, so it had better not happen again. She took Snowbelle, and Larissa made her way back to the common room.

After a few days, Larissa was called into the hospital wing, and she was greeted by Snowbelle, who rubbed around her legs, and purred. She then dashed back off to wherever she had come from, Larissa followed her, and gasped. She saw five, tiny white and ginger, kittens lying down on a blanket, Snowbelle licked each one in turn, and Larissa knelt down beside them.

It was obvious that Snowbelle wasn't happy with anyone close to her kittens, even if it was Larissa.

'They'll have to stay here for the week until they're a bit bigger, but you can come and visit them, your cat will have to stay too.' Madame Pomfrey said, noticing that Larissa was there, she nodded, and reached out to stroke her cats snowy fur.

Larissa came back to visit them, at least twice a day, every day, for the next week until they opened their eyes. She carefully picked one of the kittens up, and placed it on her lap, Snowbelle sat in front of her, watching her every move.

'It's alright Snowbelle,' Larissa said

'You can take them now they've opened their eyes, but they'll have to stay in your dorm. I've got a piece of parchment with what to feed them here, come to me for the food and stuff.' Pomfrey said, coming in, and handing Larissa a sheet.

Make a nest out of blankets, and put a heating charm on one side, so that they can go to the cold side if they get too hot.

At 3-4 weeks you can give them small amounts of moistened kitten food 4-6 times a day, along with milk replacement. 6-12 weeks, 4 times a day. 3-6 months, 3 times a day.

'Thanks Madame Pomfrey, for everything.'

'That's okay, I've put a thread of pink wool around the girls necks and blue around the boys, keep them on there until you have named them and can tell them apart, they will grow with the kitten, so they wont get too tight.'

'Thank you.'

She handed Larissa a basket with a few blankets in, she carefully placed Snowbelle inside, followed by the small kittens, and she took them back to her dorm, and put the basket on the bed. She put the basket down, in the corner, next to her bed, and gently heated one side with a charm. She stuck the sheet above the basket, and made the blankets into a sort of nest, and then just sat there looking at them trying to think of names.

She picked one of them up, and looked at it, it had a blue thread around its neck, and was ginger with white socks, and ears.

She decided to see if she could borrow Colin's camera, so she wouldn't forget. She placed him back in the basket, and went down to the common room.

She returned a second later, with Colin's camera. Colin had wanted to see them, so he had come too.

'That one looks like a lion.' He said, pointing to the one that Larissa had previously been holding.

'He does,'

'Do they have names yet?' Larissa shook her head. 'You should call that one Simba.' She gave him a quizzical look, 'From the movie,'

'What movie?'

'It's a Muggle movie, called The Lion King, and there's a baby lion called Simba, and he looks just like him

'Simba, I like it.' She picked up Simba, and Colin took a photo of him, and she wrote it down on a piece of parchment, with the number one next to it.
