Chapter Text

The front door to Harry and Dracos flat opens with a creak and shuts loudly. Draco slips off his shoes and rests them in a neat line against the wall, setting his briefcase down on the kitchen island before the realization that the house is far too quiet hits him. Harry? He calls, lurking farther into the house.

He passes both the living room and bathroom, turning into their bedroom when a sharp crash breaks through the silence. Wide eyed, Draco takes out his wand, raised steadily in front of him and turns swiftly toward the noise before being met with a smokey grey kitten. What the hell, He mutters, lowering his wand and putting out his hand.

The kitten pauses, unsure of Dracos intentions before reaching out to sniff the boys palm. The animal purrs loudly, rubbing up against his skin and Draco wouldve found it utterly adorable if it wasnt for the fact that he had no idea where the cat had come from.

Howd you get here? Draco asks softly before surveying the room. The crash, he quickly finds out, came from a picture frame the cat mustve knocked over. Draco repairs it with a flick of his wand and sets it back on the nightstand, eyeing the kitten curiously.

Hurried footsteps down the hall alert Draco once again and his wand is back out within seconds. The doorknob twists and just as Draco is about to cast a stunning spell, he recognizes Harry in front of him, hands up with surprise. Didnt know youd be home early, Harry says and Draco scowls, lowering his wand.

What is this? He asks, motioning to the cat behind his suited back.

What? Harry asks stupidly.

This cat, Harry. What the hell,

Oh yeah, Harry says, grinning at the blond. Isnt she cute? He coos, ignoring Dracos glare.

No- Okay, yes but Harry, this is a huge commitment. Who do you think you are making big decisions like this without me? What a pain in the ass!

Harry, who had gone to pick up the kitten from behind Draco, smiles guiltily again. Love, Im so sorry! I just had to. Hermione and I were at a pet shop, she wanted to get something for her apartment with Ron and well I fell in love with this one,

So you adopted a cat without me Draco finished slowly and Harry nods sheepishly. Well Whats its name then? He asks, gripping the bridge of his nose tightly.

She, Harry corrects quickly. Her name is Halley,

Like the comet? Draco asks quizzically and Harry nods, blushing slightly.

She didnt have a name when I adopted her from the shelter and I figured Draco a constellation of stars. Halley a comet Theyre both space things,

And youre just Harry. No relation, Draco laughs, moving closer to rub the kittens ears. Its stupid but I like it, He decides and takes the cat from Harrys arms into his own. I only have one rule, He continues and Harry eyes him curiously. The cat cant be in the room when we fuck,

At this, Harry doubles over with laughter. Done, He grins, kissing his boyfriend lightly. The two lay back on their bed with the kitten on Dracos chest, booping her nose and watching her chase her tail.

Draco had been all for the idea ever since.
