Summary: Sometimes, Draco is too feline for Harry's taste.
Harry puttered about the kitchen putting the final touches on the pot roast he was prepping for the oven. While he worked, Harry stole frequent glances out the window and smiled at the antics of the white cat at play in the garden. In between leaping and frolicking, the cat would stalk and pounce. Harry surmised he was chasing insects and leaves. He turned away from the window to put the roast in the oven.
A throaty meow at the open window garnered Harry's attention, and he glanced up to see the cat peering in through the screen. He was balanced on his hind legs on the back of a wicker chair outdoors, front paws resting on the sill, with some hapless creature dangling from his mouth.
Harry was appalled. "You are NOT bringing that in here!" he squawked. There was another plaintive meow from the cat. "Take it back into the garden and release it at once," Harry ordered. "I know you haven't killed it, because you can't stand the sight of blood."
The cat's ears flattened, but he obediently hopped down and trotted back along the garden path. Harry watched to be sure the catch was released. The cat lowered his head and dropped the animal he had been carrying. He sat back on his haunches and licked his muzzle.
Harry held his breath. What if the small creature really was dead? The cat pawed at it, and the animal wobbled to its feet and scurried for the cover of the undergrowth. Harry saw the long white tail flick. "Draco!" he yelled out the window. "Leave that poor thing alone and get back in here!"
Draco turned his head and sneered at Harry in the fashion only a cat could manage. He then ignored Harry completely and began washing his paws.
Harry scowled and set the oven timer before walking outside to sit on one of the wicker chairs where he could keep an eye on the cat. Draco trotted up and began winding his slender body around and between Harry's legs. "You're getting fur all over me," Harry sighed.
Draco changed tactics and rubbed the side of his face against Harry's legs.
"Don't scent-mark me!" complained Harry. "I belong to you, and everyone knows it." Draco meowed and stood on his hind legs to place his paws on Harry's thigh. Harry rolled his eyes, but he scratched the top of Draco's head, under his chin and behind his ears. Draco's delighted purr rumbled forth, and his claws dug into Harry's leg as he kneaded his boyfriend. "Ouch!" Harry hissed. "Stop sinking your claws in!"
Draco hopped onto Harry's lap and shifted into human form. His hands settled onto Harry's shoulders, and he tucked his head beneath his boyfriend's chin. Harry couldn't control the soppy smile that settled on his face as Draco resumed purring for him. He ran one hand up and down Draco's back and leaned his head back with a happy sigh.
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"Do we have time for a shag before dinner?"
Harry opened his eyes and grinned. "We have plenty of time," he replied. "Why don't you go in and wash-"
Harry's words were cut off when Draco angled his head to snog him. He responded for two full seconds before wrenching his head away. "Ugh!" Harry cried, swiping the back of his hand across his lips. "You just kissed me after you had an animal in your mouth!"
