A Good Kneazle’s Hard to Find
~
Once they brought the kittens inside, Azizi fed them, and they were tucked in for the night, Harry collapsed on the sofa. “Kittens are hard work!”
“Quite.” Severus exhaled.
“When’d it happen?” asked Harry. “We’ve been watching Azizi for weeks. When did she have a chance to run off and, er—” He hesitated. “You know.”
“Fornicate?” Severus snorted. “That’s not the important question. The important question is, who’s the father?”
“Well, I think if we knew where she went, we could figure out who he is.”
“We’ve been several places. We’ll have to retrace our steps, recall our travel history.”
~
Lucius denied all knowledge of Kneazles at Malfoy Manor. “Felines and peacocks don’t mix.”
“Does this mean you don’t want a kitten?” Severus asked.
Lucius hummed. “I’ll see if Narcissa’s interested and let you know.”
Hermione wasn’t helpful either. “Pet’s aren’t allowed at the Ministry. I’ve never even brought Crookshanks to work.”
“I didn’t let her out of my sight,” McGonagall assured them. “Although, of course, there’s always the possibility she somehow encountered a wild Kneazle.”
Closing the Floo, Harry sighed. “Maybe she was magically impregnated?”
Severus snorted. “History suggests otherwise.”
Harry coughed. “We could ask her.”
Severus hummed.”Perhaps.”
~
Azizi and Severus stared into each other’s eyes.
Harry sighed. History indicated they’d be a while, but he felt impatient. The kittens mewling distracted him. “Who’s your daddy, hm?” he whispered. “Do you guys know?”
The kittens, beginning to show distinct differences, crawled towards him and he picked each one up, placing them in his lap. Smiling, he cuddled them, wincing as their sharp baby claws scratched his skin.
When Severus stirred, Harry looked up. “Did she tell you?” he asked, gently placing the kittens back in their basket.
Severus pinched the bridge of his nose. “Not exactly.”
Azizi purred.
~
“Maybe she just didn’t want to tell you.”
Severus looked up from his plate. “Possibly. Although I’m not sure why not. What could I do about it?”
Harry shrugged. “Maybe she’s being coy?”
Severus snorted. “Our Kneazle doesn’t have a history of being coy or subtle. When she wants us to know something, she tells us.”
“So why isn’t she telling us now?”
“I have no idea.” Severus sighed. “But I did tell her we can’t keep seven Kneazle kittens.”
“And?”
Severus smirked. “She agreed. She also said she’ll be determining where they go.”
Harry blinked. “This should be interesting.”
~
“Kneazle kittens?” Ginny grinned. “Can we come and look at them? We’ve been contemplating getting a pet.”
Harry nodded. “Sure. Just be aware, Azizi has claimed the right of refusal.”
Penelope hummed. “Historically, that usually results in the best wizard Kneazle matches, so we agree.”
“Even if she decides you don’t get a kitten?”
“Even then,” Penelope assured him, Ginny nodding her agreement.
Several other people at work expressed interest, and by the time he left MACUSA, Harry had more people interested in Kneazle kittens than there were kittens.
Severus wasn’t surprised when he told him. “Good Kneazles are popular.”
~
That night, after making love, Harry and Severus cuddled, Harry’s head on Severus’ chest. “I’ll miss the kittens.”
“You want to keep one?”
“No. We already have more people interested than there are kittens to distribute.” Harry smiled. “But if Azizi’s unfaithful again, maybe—”
“Or we could get another pet.”
“Another Kneazle?”
“Or a Crup.”
“I wouldn’t mind a Crup.”
Severus snorted. “Yes, you seem the Crup sort.”
“Whereas you’re definitely a Kneazle man.”
“Indeed I am.” Severus hummed. “So, shall we go looking this weekend?”
“Sounds good.” Harry coughed. “Although maybe we should take Azizi with us.”
“Good idea.”
