Harry was walking outside of Hogwarts a tad late when everyone was already inside and were getting ready to go eat, but he wasn't that hungry he wanted some time alone to think about everything. Suddenly he heard some people coming, for a moment he didn't care because he wasn't doing anything wrong but the moment he heard some familiar laughs he immediately knew that those people were Goyle and Crabbe and, of course, he wanted to avoid them, well it was too late for that.

"Oi, if it isn't the gay chose one, who can't get a girlfriend so he decides to try with boys," said one voice

"Fuck off," said Harry turning to face them, to Harry's surprised they weren't accompanied by their usual leader; Draco, they were all alone bothering Harry.

"Oh, what are you going to do, flirt with us?"

Before Harry could say anything something jumped out of the bush next to him and went straight for Goyle's face, when Harry got a closer look he noticed it was a cat, a big white cat. The cat attacked both Goyle and Crabbe, to the point in which they went running away crying. The cat looked at Harry and for a second he thought the cat was going to attack him too so he started to walk away until the cat actually got close to him and Harry saw that it had no intention of harming him. Harry sat down and the cat made itself comfortable in Harry's legs, only then did Harry had a closer look at the cat, it was white and with grey eyes. Harry could have sworn he had seen those eyes before but couldn't remember where. Harry spent his remaining time outside with the cat until it was time to go inside. When Harry got up and started to make his way to the castle the cat followed him, Harry was thinking of taking the cat with him but as soon as they entered the castle the cat disappeared.

The next day Harry told Hermione and Ron about the cat and both had the same opinion.

"There were two things out of place last night: Crabbe and Goyle were not with Malfoy and you were saved by a mysterious cat." Said Hermione giving Ron and ugly look when she noticed he was getting bacon for the fifth time

"Yeah, also...no one has seen Draco since last night... he is not here...did you notice?" reply Ron trying to swallow and speak at the same time. Harry had noticed, indeed that Draco wasn't there, he thought that maybe because it was a Saturday he'd be sleeping late but truth to be told he was always eating early because he had practice on Saturdays. Harry tried to pretend like he didn't have any feelings for Draco but it was nearly impossible and he couldn't help but notice Draco every time. Harry finished his breakfast early and went to the field to see if Draco was there practicing, of course, he did it with his cloak on, but Draco wasn't there. Harry put the cloak in his pocket and made way to the lake on the way he met his fellow friend from the night before, the pretty cat was again walking next to Harry.

"Oh well hello there," said Harry picking up the cat.

And so it happened that the two of them; Harry and the cat had become friends, every time Harry found himself in some type of trouble in which Hermione or Ron weren't there to help him out, the cat was. Harry also noticed that the cat was always there when Crabbe and Goyle tried to bully him, yet Draco was never with them anymore and Harry didn't see him as much as before, on one occasion they crossed paths in the library and the second Draco saw Harry he ran the other direction while Harry could have sworn he saw him blush.

Harry kept telling all of his adventures with the cat to his two friends, who were also trying to figure out who this cat belonged to until they came with a plan. Harry was going to take the cat to his room if the next day, no one claimed him, Harry would keep him if someone did claim him Harry would have to live without the cat, although the cat was very close to him now, Harry found it easy to talk to the cat about his feelings for Draco. Every now and then the cat would sneak into Harry's dorm and be there until he had fallen asleep but the next morning he'd be gone.

The day of the plan had come and so Harry took the cat with him at night, at first, the cat was anxious and would try to escape but then he just kind of resigned to the idea. Harry had prepared a little bed next to his for the cat but the cat wouldn't sleep in it instead he lay next to Harry on his bed, Harry allowed him and went to sleep.

The next morning Harry woke up to Ron's scream coming from the other side of the room when he opened his eyes he too began to scream because what he saw he could not believe it, Draco was lying next to him curled in his arms naked. Then it all came to his mind, the cat, Draco not being around much, last night with the cat. Harry gave Draco some clothes and went to the lake to talk. 


Don't worry there is a second part coming up, sorry for the late update though.
