SHATTERED REFLECTIONS, theodore nott

Cats and Notes | Pg 1

Pollux' POV:

The first thing I heard when waking up was the meows coming from Retzi, my cat, "Retziiiiii!" I whined at him as he continue to meow loudly while rubbing his head against my shoulder, "Give it a rest." I told him while I lightly pet his head while he purred.

It was actually quite the story on how I got Retzi, well, not really but whatever, It was a couple days before I had to go to Hogwarts for the first time ever, we were in Diagon Alley searching for the stuff I would be needing in the first year of my stay at hogwarts, if I didn't already have hand me downs from my older siblings, but we were walking to go and get me a wand when all of a sudden a black cat comes lunging in my arms, it had a collar on it with the name Retzi, we had tried to look for his owner but no one had known, so I had convinced my mother, Molly to let me keep him, after begging her for an hour.

"Come on ret, I bet you're hungry." I inform him as if he could comprehend what I was saying. I picked him up and looked over at my little sister Ginny, and my brother, Ron's friend, Hermione Granger, I don't think she liked me much after one of my best friends, Draco Malfoy called her a mudblood in second year, of course I never agreed with what he believed in, and we usually clashed heads about it when speaking of it or other beliefs we didn't agree on, he was a jerk, but also my best friend.

I was cut off my train of thought when Reggie began meowing again. "Okay, okay, I'm going." I say as I walk out the door from mine and Ginny's shared bedroom, seeing my brother, George, walk out his and Fred's room, "Good morning Georgie." I say smiling at him as he smirks back, me and the twins relationship was okay, they were my older brothers and I were their little sister, but we weren't really close, if I was being honest, I wasn't close with any of my siblings. "Mornin' Polly." George says back using my nickname, everyone calls me Polly besides my mother who uses my real name and my boyfriend, Theodore, who calls me Pol. God I missed him, but luckily we left for Hogwarts tomorrow.

Once I walked into the kitchen I found Retzi's food and placed it in his bowl before giving it to him before walking over to my mother, "Good morning mom." I say to her as she lightly smiles at me.

——

A little while later we were at Grimmauld place, where Sirius Black lives, my parents were downstairs along with Sirius, Remus, tonks and some other people, they didn't tell me what they were doing down there though, they told Ron and the twins and Ginny, but not me, I don't know why, I guess it could have been I was a Slytherin but really what would I do? I don't even know why we were here, but I did know that a couple people had went to go and get Harry Potter, Ron's other friend, who hated my guts, again I don't know why, I've only talked to him a couple of times in all my years of knowing him.

But I was told to stay in my room and that my mother would bring me up some dinner. But obviously I wasn't going to stay in my room the whole time, this was my first time at this place so I have to go exploring. "Come on Retzi, let's go look around." I told him as I sat up from the bed in the guest bedroom I was staying in.

As I opened the door Retzi bolted out causing me to run after him, "Ret, slow down." I whine as he slows down actually listening to me, now trotting around a corner with me at his heel, but then he suddenly stoped making me almost step in his tail, "Go on Ret." I say lightly nudging him but he only looks at me and meows softly, "What?" I ask him, and in response he walks up the door in front of him and rubs his head on it. Looking up I see a black rusted up door with the initials R.A.B engraved in it, who's that? Right as I was about to open it a house elf appeared, a old one at that, his face was engulfed in a scowl, "Excuse me sir, but do you know who's room this is?" I ask him as he just mutters something while glancing at me before going to walk away before he suddenly stops and slowly turns around looking at Retzi and then slowly at me, "Eh, you don't know? That is Regulus Blacks room." He informs me while strangely looking at my cat, "Oh, ok, thank you." I tell him, "Your welcome miss Black." He answers. Confused with his answer I go to question him about it but by the time my mouth is open he is already walking away.

"Must have thought wrong I guess." I muttered as I picked Retzi up and go to open the door when all of a sudden I hear foots treading down the hall, looking up I had to hold in the eye roll that was threatening to come out as I see Harry Potter walk down giving me a rude look as he walks past me.

"Come on Ret, we shouldn't be snooping around a strangers room anyways." I tell him as he lets out an cry like meow, "Yes, I know you want to go exploring but I am not tying to get in trouble, so let's go, gotta finish packing anyway." I say while picking him up and walking back to my room, running into Ron, Hermione, Harry, Fred, George, and Ginny leaning over the stairs, "Hello." I tell them smiling as they shush me sending me dirty looks for making noise, well more like Ron Hermione and Harry. I just roll my eyes in response and walk past them and into my room.

Sitting Ret down I hear pecking at the window, and look up to see the Nott's family owl at the window, smiling I walk over there and open the window letting Sammy, the owl, stand on the ledge of the window. I grab the note that was tied to his leg, seeing Theo's handwriting on the front, opening it I read,

Dear, Pol,

  Sorry I haven't sent you a note here lately, my father has been on my ass so I've been busy, but not too busy for you love, so here I am writing you a note.

   I can't wait to see you, you have no idea how much I've missed you. But, what you mentioned in your last note, about how you've been feeling like you're missing out on all the time the gang has been over, I can insure you that you haven't missed a thing, Draco and Pansy have been flirting the whole time, Nina only ever talks about that Hufflepuff boy, I forgot his name, Blaise has just been smoking my cigarettes and Enzo has only been staring at Nina, so you haven't missed a thing love.

Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow darling, I love you.

                                         Love, your one and only, Theo

I smile sadly as I read the last part, I wasn't allowed to go and hang out with them because one, my parents would never let me go, and two, Theo's father doesn't even know he's dating me, a blood traitor and Weasley, but it's fine because I get to see them tomorrow, and with than in mind, I put the note in my box full of little sentimental things, go lay in my bed and drift off into oblivion.

First page done!!!!
