Meow.
"That's nice." Andromeda said. She patted the empty spot beside her and the young cat leaped onto the couch and settled beside her. Andromeda saw her daughter do this, and her new pet cat would always leap onto the couch and finally settle on her lap.
"You don't want to rest on my lap Kit?" Andromeda asked. The young cat merely opened one eye to look at her and closed it again. Andromeda grinned and went back to watching the Telly. It seemed that young Kit was only comfortable enough with her daughter and she wondered how deep a bond was forming between the young cat and Dora.
"Hi mum!" Tonks said as she walked in on the sitting room.
"How was your day dear?" Andromeda asked.
"I just submitted my application form the Auror corps." Tonks said. Kit felt that the witch was nervous and he opened one eye to look at the older girl.
"I'm sure you'll get in." Andromeda tried to reassure her daughter.
"I won't get my hopes up." Tonks replied as she sat down. "Unless a veteran Auror chooses me to be his or her apprentice, I don't have a good chance of getting accepted." She noticed kit was sitting between her and her mother and she patted her lap telling her pet to rest on her lap.
Kit sort of knew that Tonks was feeling nervous and though he was quite comfortable in his spot, he stretched and lightly jumped on the older girl's lap. Immediately he felt sweaty palms caress his fur and he lied down and started to sleep again.
Andromeda chuckled when she saw this. "It's only been weeks and you both get along so well."
"We do." Tonks said as she continued to scratch the nape of Kit where she knew he liked. "It's like we were meant to meet. He's a bit of a grouch at times and lazy as hell, but I love Kit."
"Have you ever thought that you finally found your familiar?" Andromeda asked. She knew a wizard or a witch's familiar was very rare, since there was only a very small chance that a wizard or a witch will get to meet the magical creature suited for them. Only a few wizards were lucky enough to meet their familiar, and one of them was Albus Dumbledore.
"Familiar?... I never considered it." Tonks said. She lifted Kit to her chest, waking the sleeping cat.
"Hey Kit, did you hear what mum was talking about?" Tonks asked. The cat yawned and opened its eyes and sneezed as he sniffed the perfume the older girl was wearing.
"You don't like my perfume huh?" Tonks asked. "My ex boyfriend gave it to me... does it smell bad?"
Kit sneezed again and scrambled out of Tonks arms to avoid the pungent scent and the older girl laughed.
"I guess that answers it." Tonks said as she stood up. "Come on Kit!"
Kit moved closer to Andromeda and yawned and flicked his tail in boredom.
"You're such a lazy cat Kit!" Tonks scolded her 'pet' as she crossed her arms. "Pretending to be asleep won't work on me you know."
Losing patience, Tonks scooped up her 'pet' while Kit valiantly tried to hold on by attaching his claws on the couch.
Knock! Knock!
Emma Granger opened the door and smiled when she saw the young boy that saved their vacation in Paris.
"Harry." Emma greeted the boy who lived. "Come in dear. Did you have any trouble finding our house?"
"It was fine Mrs. Granger." Harry said as he looked around the neighborhood. "My Guardian dropped me off at the corner and will pick me up later."
"I wish you would have invited your guardian for a cup of tea." Mrs. Granger said, hopefully looking around for a non-existent car.
"Aunt Penny has some other things to do." Harry replied as he stepped inside the Granger house.
"By the way, Mrs. Granger, I think this got mixed up with my things during the accident in Paris." Harry said as he fished out the roll of film housed in the black plastic cylinder. "I think this belongs to Mister Granger."
"Thanks Harry." Emma Granger said. "I'll have this developed as well. Go on in, Hermione and Padma are in the library room, take the door on the right down the hall."
"Thanks Mrs. Granger." Harry said.
"Hi Padma, Hermione." Harry said as he entered the library room. "Nice place you got here."
"Harry!" Hermione shrieked and she rushed towards the boy who lived. "You came!"
"I promised didn't I?" The boy who lived said.
"You did." Hermione beamed. "So now that we are all here, what do you want to do?"
"I dunno... eat?" Harry suggested. "I'm a bit hungry. Your house was quite a commute."
"You came here by yourself?" Hermione asked.
"I'm used to it." Harry said. He spotted a plate of sandwiches and immediately picked one up. "Is this for me?"
"Go ahead." Hermione said as she sat back down on a comfy chair and looked at her friend. Now that Harry wasn't wearing loose clothes she noticed that he had put on some weight. "You look healthier Harry."
"I'm just eating well." The boy who lived replied. He was eating two sets of meals everyday... either at the Flamels or the Delacours, and his standard two meals of Tuna at the Tonks residence. At first he was hesitant to eat any meal served by Tonks, but she was persistent and soon his instincts for fish and other meat soon overcame his wariness.
"It's a beautiful day, and Hermione the park near your house is absolutely adorable." Padma said. "Can we go there?"
"That sounds like a good idea." Hermione said. The two Ravenclaws gathered their books and trooped outside to read dragging along a reluctant Harry who wanted to continue lounging around the luxurious house.
"You called for me Em?"
"Sit down." Emma Granger said as her husband entered the study.
