What’s New, Pussycat?
Severus came around the corner to see Draco with his wand pointed at a black cat with very green eyes.
“I always knew you were a pussy. Rict…” The cat hissed and clawed at his leg.
“What are you doing?” Severus asked, coolly.
Draco jumped. “This cat was going to attack me,” he said defensively. He clearly didn’t think Severus knew that this was Harry Potter.
The cat glared at Draco as he walked past and leapt into Severus' arms.
Severus arched an eyebrow. “And you needed magic to defend yourself? Ten points for being the real pussy, Mr. Malfoy.”

When they returned to Severus' room, the cat transfigured back into Harry.
“I don’t think you can take points from Professors,” Harry laughed.
“It was worth a try. What were you doing?”
Harry blushed. “I got caught up chasing a rat. Turns out it was Draco’s new familiar.”
“How appropriate,” Severus sneered.
“Draco’s not that bad.”
Severus didn’t answer. He disliked that Harry’s ex was now teaching at Hogwarts. Severus and Harry were too new to feel secure.
“Jealous?” Harry teased.
“Not as long as you tell him you’re my pussy.”
“…cat…you mean pussycat,” Harry added.
“Of course I did.”
