Chapter 13 - Cat People

The bell tinkled as they walked in.

'This is a really bad idea.' Remus whispered.

Y/N glared at him, 'I can contain myself, thank you, I'm not going to buy everything in the store.'

'Anything in the store.' Remus corrected.

'That's what I said. I'm just going to have a look around, it's fine. OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT STOAT-'

'Stoats aren't allowed at school! I knew this was going to happen.' Remus groaned.

'Remus, I wasn't actually going to buy a stoat...'

He raised an eyebrow.

'I wasn't! ... exactly set on buying Sir Winston Snickle but I was consid-' she rushed.

'DiD yoU jUsT nAMe tHe StoAT?' Remus' voice cracked, 'Okay that's it we're leaving and finding the others.'

'No no no not yet!' she whined, 'I'm sorry. I promise I won't buy any.'

Remus sighed, 'Fine.'

She clapped her hands and wove in between S. Starling's many rows, each one stacked with cages where all sorts of magical creatures squeaked and squealed and squawked.

'Looking for anything in particular?' the rather dashing shop attendant asked as he leant against one of the rows of cages, the midday sun glinting on his chocolate eyes, the dark curls and warm glowing skin.

'Uhh I- CATS.' she yelled.

'Cats?' he laughed, 'Just down there and to the right.'

She nodded and had to tear her eyes away from him.

She cleared her throat, his image still in her mind, the bright teeth, warm skin, the curls, 'You heard him, down hair- uh, here, Remus.'

She left the man before she could say anything embarrassing.

Remus smirked and she looked at him, frustrated.

'So here are your CATS.' he gestured to the row of felines as he yelled.

'Oh haha.' she laughed at him sarcastically, 'He was kinda cute, that's all.'

'Kinda? Bestie, you yelled CATS and ran away from him.' he said, unimpressed.

'Shut up. Let me get something.'

'Okay just remember that you're not actually getting any pets, you just came here to look at them, okay?' he said, looking anxious.

'Relax, Moony. I won't get anything, I promise.'

*

'I never said that!' she exclaimed.

Remus laughed incredulously, 'Yes you did! You said, and I quote, Relax, Moony. I won't get anything, I promise, and yet here we are! I'm holding your cat, Y/N, I don't even like cats, I was always more of a dog person. AND IT'S NOT EVEN THE ONLY CAT.'

Y/N glared as she held her other cat closer to her chest and whispered into its ginger fur, 'Shhhh, Achilles, don't listen to the mean boy. Okay, gimme Otto.'

Remus sighed and passed over the cat, looking extremely pissed off.

'That is an extremely cute name.' he said angrily.

'Thanks.' she smiled, before turning away, sadly, 'Let's go meet the others.'

Remus and Y/N began walking back towards the front of Zonko's, where they had left them. When they finally passed Honeydukes, Zonko's just across the road, Remus gave a loud sigh and rolled his eyes. Y/N followed his eye line to where Donna was standing with her back pushed against the doorframe, Sirius leaning over her with a hand on the frame above her head, their lips locked.

'Classy guys, truly, classy.' Remus hollered from across the street, he shook his head, 'Those two, I swear to Merlin.'

They broke apart and grinned from across the road.

Y/N and Remus crossed in front of the store.

'I- WHat?' Y/N asked.

'What, what?' Donna asked simply.

Y/N sighed, 'Nothing.'

'Wait.' Sirius said, 'Did you get cats? Yuck.'

Achilles hissed at him.

'No, I found these two in a dumpster and thought I'd just take them for a walk.'

'Oh.'

She squinted at him, incredulously, 'No, dipshit, I adopted them.'

Sirius looked at Remus and they were silent for a few seconds (heh wolfstar), and then the yelling just broke loose.

'MOONY-'

'Now don't blame me for this!'

'This is animal cruelty! She can't look after cats, she can barely look after herself! She set Julian's hair on fire, twice!'

'Woah, that was a low blow, Sirius!' Y/N yelled.

'And we can't have any pets in our dorms because of the whole were-' Sirius' eyes went wide, '-ing jumpers that are knitted, thing!'

'He can't have cats in my dorm because of his knitted jumpers.' Y/N said slowly.

Sirius shrugged and let out a low whistle, 'Yep, those jumpers are very important to him and you know how cats are with... pulling threads and things.'

'Okay well, who cares. They'll stay in the yard or in my dorm you won't even have to see their pretty faces.' she said as she stroked Achilles' ginger fur.

'Have you got both of them? I don't want you to drop them...' Donna said.

'Who cares if she drops them, then we'll be rid of them!' Sirius said.

'WhAT? What do you have against my kittens?!' she hissed, covering their ears.

'Cats are a waste of space.'

'Much like you.' she muttered.

Peter clapped his hands, 'WELL, let's go have a look around.'

They walked down the alleys and past the stores. Y/N was in wonder of the snow-covered rooftops that painted the town like stars in the only all wizard settlement in Britain.

'Hey, what's that little house thing on that hill?' she squinted and looked at the rickety shed perched upon a bed of dying grass.

'Oh... That's just a um-' Remus started.

'The shrieking shack.' Donna said.

Y/N grinned, 'Shrieking? That sounds haunting, can we go check it out?'

'I wish,' Donna sighed longingly, 'There's no way in.'

'Well there has to be a way in,' Y/N frowned, 'Or else it wouldn't be usable.'

'It doesn't matter!' Remus snapped, 'Why do you care so much about the stupid thing anyway.'

Sirius frowned, 'Calm down, Moony.'

'Don't tell me to calm down. Can we just go?' he said, hysterically, almost laughing in anger.

'...Lets go to the three broomsticks?' Peter said finally.

'YES, wonderful. Let's go.' Sirius clapped, and started walking away.

Y/N turned to Donna but she just shrugged and followed.

A.N: unlike all of its beloved characters Suffragette City is not dead, woohoo! uh well yep just trying to set some stuff up for a few future chapters,  in around two or three we'll have the games night which'll be pretty GOOD AND HEATED (that was weird sorry) but thankyou for easy and I'll try to remember to update!! xx
