Sirius' legs ached. Sirius' arms ached. Sirius' brain ached. He'd been chasing after these young rapscallions who were practically abusing this scrap of a black, green eyed cat with all sorts of cuts on it . They were tossing fizzy drink cans at it and sticks while it whined for help. It was unbearable.
After leaving the corner shop, Sirius noticed some kids standing in a circle and laughing cruelly. The started sprinting and Sirius saw the cat. While running after the teens, he imagined what it would feel like to be the cat: depressed, hurting, lost. It reminded him of a certain someone. The longer he thought about it, the picture cleared in his head. It was just like Remus Lupin. He kept his eye on the cat and watched how it leapt far, not for one second even thinking about giving up. The cat was a fighter, as was Remus.
"Bug off, you lot! Leave it alone!" Sirius yelled as he quickened his pace. The cat seemed to be losing its pace, it'd probably been running for ages.
"What you gonna do, mate?" The tallest and most burliest of the six said in a horribly grotesque baby voice, standing still and turning to face Sirius.
"I'm not fucking stupid enough to hurt a child like you. I understand though, you need to chase after this poor kitten to feel valued. Maybe go back to mummy and she'll give you a cuppa and a slice of cake." Sirius replied, smiling and nodding. The boy came up to Sirius and grabbed him by the front.
"You fucking-"
"Back it up, little one. Go to the gym if you need to let some feelings out. You're clearly going through a hormonal phase right now." Sirius brushed the boy away with ease. The other five kids just stood their like eggs, mouths agape. The burly boy who was attempting to beat up Sirius, turned his nose and stalked off, leaving the kitten alone. Watching the boys go, Sirius looked for the cat. Behind bushes, near fences, under cars, but it was only when he heard a faint meowing that he realised it was hiding near a bin.
"Come on, baby." Sirius knelt down on the floor and put his fingers on the floor. The kitten looked hesitant at first, but quickly got used to him.Now the kitten was rolling and curling about on the sofa. Remus came home and nearly screamed when he found a kitten at his feet. Being the nice person he is, Sirius gave the kitten a bath, making sure not to get water in its ears, to remove the caked dirt.
"He is rather cute, but we won't be allowed to keep him. Our landlord wouldn't allow it." Remus reasoned, placing a bowl of water and another with some fish on the floor. The kitten, which they soon found out was a boy, seemed very attached to Remus. Nipping his toes and brushing his head up against his leg.
"Tell you what, we'll take a trip to James and Lily's, maybe they'll be able to take him." Sirius suggested, after brainstorming for a couple of minutes. James had an obsession with green eyes (I wonder why) and would obviously take it if Lily wanted it, which she probably would if Harry was okay with the furball."OH MY GOD, HE'S GREEN EYED! CAN WE KEEP HIM LILY? PLEASE, WE NEED HIM IN OUR LIVES! PLEASE?!" James looked earnestly at Lily who looked at Harry.
"Kitty." Harry whispered.
"Thanks you two, I think we'll christen him..." Lily started, she didn't really have a name. Sirius told James, Lily and Remus the dramatic story on how the cat came to be, but Lily still couldn't think of a name.
"Roar." Harry laughed, sitting on the floor next to the kitten, who was settling in to the soft, fluffy rug.
"Tyger. Sure, he's like coal, but he's a fighter. Like a tiger." Sirius smiled, fondling the cat on the floor.shitty filler chapter. i just needed something to write and i really don't like this chapter. complain all you want, i rlly don't care lol. idek if you guys even like this book, because i don't really get any comments, so i hope to produce better work soon.
