Lucas and his mother walked into Harry's bedroom only to smile at the sight before them. Harry was once again curled up like a cat in the middle of his bed. His pillow was under him and the blankets were snuggled around him. Fay summoned a camera and took a picture. Lucas shook his head at his mother's antics.

He walked up to Harry and shook his shoulder gently. Harry looked at Lucas sleepily.

"It's time to get up, Harry." He said to the neko.

"M'kay." Harry said and then proceeded to stretch out across his bed in a cat-like manner, much to Lucas and Fay's amusement.

"Harry, this is my mother, Fay Davet." Harry looked at the women.

"Nice to meet you, ma'am." He said politely.

"Oh what a sweet one." Fay said. "Sweetheart you may call me Fay."

"Okay."

They went to the dining room to see that Severus had again beat them to the table. When they were all seated, lunch had appeared. Severus served Harry first and then himself. He would give Lucas and Fay a list of foods for Harry to eat later.

"Thank you, Severus." He said.

Severus smiled. "You are welcome, Harry."

They all smiled when Harry started to eat the fish that Severus put on his plate. Harry was in heaven when he tasted the fish. It was delicious.

When they finished they went into Severus' study to talk about what they were going to do with Harry. Severus sat behind his desk, Lucas and Fay sat on the chairs in front of the desks, and Harry sat in Fay's lap. She rubbed his head and was rewarded with Harry purring.

"Harry, since you are my son's mate it isn't wise for you to live together." Fay said.

"Why?" Harry asked.

"You need a parental figure right now and my son can't fill that role since he is your mate." She explained.

"Oh, but if I don't live with him will I be able to see him?" He asked, worried.

"Yes Harry. I will visit you, but we want to figure out where you will live." He said.

"I wish I could take you with me, but in a week I will return to Egypt for my job." Fay said as she cuddled the young neko.

"Severus can't take you since he has to return to school in two months." Lucas said.

Severus was silent this whole time and was thinking over solutions. As he listened to his best friend and his mother talk to Harry he had gotten an idea.

"Fay, how often do you get called out on a job?" Severus asked.

"Once in a while, why?" She looked at him in confusion.

"I can take care of him for the next two months. I can assume that your job will be over by the time I go back to teaching. You would take over then. When you do have to go out on a job you could take him with you and have one of your house elves take care of him until you come home for the day." Severus explained. "The house elf will only watch him when you are at your job. You would still be able to take care of him."

"Oh, so a house elf would be my babysitter while Fay is at work." Harry stated.

"Yes." He said.

"You're a genius, Severus." Lucas said.
