"He could be an undiscovered breed of a magical cat." Edward mused. "Do you mind if we borrow him for a few nights? Just to observe him of course."
"Absolutely not." Tonks frowned. "I just want to get confirmation that Kit's my familiar and have him registered, if possible."
Edward's face fell with disappointment. "I see... I'll just check the compatibility for Familiars then."
"How do you determine if a magical pet is a familiar or not?" Hestia asked.
"It's all in the color of both master and pet." Edward explained. "If both owner and pet glowed the same color, or at least near to it, chances are that the wizard or the witch just found his or her familiar. Of course familiar bonds don't start right away... it takes years of friendship and trust between master and pet."
Edwards began to wave his wand in a complicated zigzag pattern and Kit's eyes followed the tip of the wand that glowed yellow.
Suddenly he glowed bright red and he looked up and noticed that Tonks was also glowing the same color.
"I'll be..." Edwards whispered. "Congratulations Tonks... you're the seventeenth witch or wizard in recorded history to form a familiar bond."
"Hear that Kit?" Tonks asked in excitement.
Meow.
Tonks squealed in delight and hugged her familiar, while Hestia and Emmelline offered the trainee auror congratulatory pats on the back.
"You must go home at once!"
"Gaah! What are you doing here?!" Michael Corner looked at the house elf that suddenly appeared at the foot of his bed.
"Dobby came to warn you sir... grave danger in Hogwarts." The house elf said.
"What are you talking about?" Michael asked.
"A plot... there is an evil plot to harm you sir!" Dobby bounced on the bed. "You must return home!"
"Why would anyone want to harm me?" Michael asked.
"You defeated the Dark Lord Sir!" Dobby said. "His servants seek to harm you!"
"You think... I'm Harry Potter?" Michael sighed in relief. "I'm not him... he is on that bed."
"Dobby apologizes!" The House Elf vanished and reappeared on the other bed. Michael immediately dropped the book from his lap and listened to what the house elf was saying.
"Harry Potter must return home!"
"Great Harry Potter Sir?"
Michael Corner opened his curtains and found the house elf staring at the empty bed of Harry Potter.
"Monsieur Delacour"
Julian looked up from the stack of sheets of paper and smiled when he saw the head of Albus Dumbledore in the fireplace. He had been expecting the old man's floo call since he released to the press about his daughter's betrothal to Harry Potter.
"To what do I owe this pleasure Supreme Mugwump?" Julian asked.
"I thought we had an agreement about keeping secret regarding Harry Potter's betrothal." Dumbledore said. "Harry does not need more attention... he has trouble enough handling his fame."
"Our agreement is that I would withhold that information from the press until the need arose." Julian replied. "My daughter insisted that we announce her betrothal since she has been having problems with suitors in Beauxbatons."
Albus frowned. "That excuse does not warrant the release of Harry's betrothal to the press."
"Supreme Mugwump... I think I know why you called on me today. I ruined your plans to regain custody of my future son-in-law." Julian Delacour said.
"Excuse me?"
"Do not think for a moment that I am ignorant of what is taking place in the International Confederation of Wizards and Witches. You submitted a proposal to the Wizarding body to repeal the earlier treaty to regain control of my ward." Julian said his tone colder. "The release of my daughter's betrothal to Harry complicates things for you."
"You are well informed." Albus replied. "I have to ask that you allow Harry to stay in Hogwarts during the holidays."
"No." Julian said immediately. "As his guardian, I have full legal rights regarding where Harry chooses to stay for the holidays. My daughter insists that she needs more time to get to know her future husband."
"But the security..."
"... is sufficient in my home." Julian said. "We have discussed this before Supreme Mugwump."
"This is not the end of this matter." Albus Dumbledore replied as his head vanished from the flames.
"Look... I am your father."
"It can't be... it's not possible!"
Andromeda looked on with amusement while Kit watched the cartoons in the telly with excitement. The young cat's tail twitched with pleasure as explosions and lights flickered on the screen. Kit sat feet away from the screen, and his head moved up and down following the sudden movements in the movie.
The screen turned black and the young cat hissed in annoyance and looked back at Andromeda who was feet away from where the remote control for the VHS was supposed to be.
"Isn't anyone going to greet me?" Tonks asked. She tossed the remote down on the couch and jumped to the spot beside her mother.
"How was your day dear?" Andromeda asked.
"Moody's going to take me out for patrol next week!" Tonks said in excitement.
"It isn't dangerous now is it?" Andromeda asked.
"C'mon mom... this isn't like the day during the war. We won't be fighting death eaters, just catching some smugglers and illegal traders." Tonks said. She patted the space beside her, beckoning her familiar towards her.
Kit narrowed his eyes on his companion and moved towards the couch, and to Tonks' surprise he leapt into Andromeda's lap.
"Kit!" Tonks said, slightly amused at the cat's actions. He was obviously displeased with her earlier actions since he even refused to acknowledge her presence.
"I think the little guy's annoyed with you Dora." Andromeda said. She scratched the cat's nape like she had seen her daughter do so many times and smiled when she felt how soft his fur was under her fingers. "Turn on the player dear, it's nearly finished anyway."
Tonks pushed back the play button and smiled when Kit perked up and jumped off Andromeda's lap and ran to his previous spot in front of the telly.
"He's getting bigger." Andromeda said, observing the young cat who was again twitching his tail in excitement.
"He is... and I'm surprised at how fast he grows mum." Tonks said. "He doesn't even finish his meals."
"Maybe he's hunting small birds and rats?" Andromeda asked. "What else could he do for hours outside?"
