"You're just like my Ted." Andromeda smiled fondly. "He was just a big kid inside, still watching those silly shows."
A black tail smacked on top of Andromeda's arm and she found Kit giving her a glare with his narrowed green eyes. She chuckled and continued massaging Kit's soft fur near his head, making the young cat partially close his eyes in pleasure.
The two enjoyed the silence as they watched a new commercial, when a loud crash in the backyard signaled the arrival of Nymphadora Tonks. Both cat and human shared an amused look before Andromeda stood up to prepare dinner for her small family.
"Dora! What did you break now?" Andromeda asked, walking into the kitchen to open the back door for her daughter. The Metamorphmagus trainee auror gave her mother a quick hug before she dropped her bag and cloak messily on the floor.
"Nothing mum." Tonks grumbled, dusting a few blades of grass from her trainee auror robes. "It's that stupid lawn chair you just bought, it keeps getting in my way!"
Used to this type of argument regarding almost all the furniture in the house, Andromeda ignored her daughter's complaint and proceeded to prepare dinner for the three of them.
"Dear, please don't leave the telly on for Kit." Andromeda sighed. "I know he has you between his paws, but watching the telly all afternoon could potentially damage his eyes."
"Huh?" Tonks asked after swallowing a bite of bread. "What?"
"I found him this afternoon watching the Telly." Andromeda explained. "He couldn't possibly open the switch on and press the power button on the remote control, could he?"
"Kit's pretty smart." Tonks replied, looking at her familiar in the living room. "He could learn that eventually, from watching us."
"Yes, he's unnaturally smart, even for a familiar." Andromeda mused. The Tonks matriarch opened the fridge and paused, and saw boxes of what she could tell, were expensive chocolate from France and Switzerland. Puzzled, she grabbed one of the boxes and glanced at the packaging, and then looked up at her daughter who was busy making tea for the both of them.
"Where did you get this?"
Tonks looked up and her eyes widened seeing the chocolate madam Delacour gave her Kit.
"Uhhh..."
"And this is pretty expensive too." Andromeda continued. She opened the box revealing stacks of thin chocolate shaped like squares and found one stack almost empty. Andromeda eyed her daughter for a moment and smirked.
"Who gave this to you?"
"Uhhh..."
Andromeda waited patiently for her daughter to come up with an excuse, knowing full well for the reason of the boxes of chocolates on her fridge.
"Well?"
"I have a friend, he gave it to me." Dora said slowly, watching her mother's expression carefully.
"And who is this 'friend' of yours?" Andromeda asked, tapping her show on the floor. "A suitor perhaps?"
"Mum! I don't have a suitor!"
Andromeda laughed at seeing her daughter's face. "Relax dear, I was just making fun of you. You are so easy to tease. This friend of yours must think highly about you, giving you all these expensive chocolates."
"Yeah right. He doesn't even share." Tonks muttered under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing mum." Tonks replied. "Kit still watching the telly?"
"He is." Andromeda nodded. "Why don't you get him from the couch, we're about to start dinner."
Tonks nodded and stood up from the kitchen and headed towards the living room, knowing full well how hard it was for her very unique familiar to relinquish his spot in the couch.
Mrooowrrr!
Kit yelped when he was suddenly plucked from the couch. He didn't even have time to sink his claws on the soft cushions before he found himself in the familiar arms of Tonks. The young cat flattened his ears in annoyance, the action was just picking in the show he was watching when he was rudely interrupted by Tonks.
"Mum! I'll freshen up first!" Tonks yelled as she headed up to her room, her familiar valiantly trying to get a last look at the Telly. That Cheetara sure was something...
"Okay dear! Hurry up!" Andromeda answered from the kitchen.
When Tonks reached her room, she closed the door and immediately placed Kit on her bed.
"Harry! Why are the chocolates that Madame Delacour gave you all stored inside my fridge? Mum found them!" Tonks asked.
Where a young cat was once sitting near the side of Tonk's queen sized bed now sat a young man, swinging his legs and seemingly unconcerned with what he had done.
"I remember you telling Apolline that you have a place to store up all those chocolates. I thought you were going to put them in your place at the Flamel's!" Tonks exclaimed. "Now she thinks I have some rich suitor giving me gifts!"
"The old man keeps eating my stash, so I figured the safest place was to hide them here." Harry shrugged. "No wonder he keeps on putting on weight... wait your mum thought you have a suitor?"
Tonks huffed at seeing Harry's amused expression. "Not funny Harry. I'm going for a quick shower, why don't you head down and annoy mum."
"Sure." Harry replied. He was about to leave the room and transform when he stopped and looked back at Tonks who had just removed her auror vest and trousers. "Hey Tonks?"
"Yeah Harry?"
"Could uhmm ... could you grow a tail with your Metamorphmagus skills?" Harry asked.
A moment later he ducked as a very sweaty shirt flew past the spot where his head was a moment ago. The young cat quickly ran down the stairs, before his familiar started throwing nasty curses that she had recently learned from Mad Eye Moody.
Auror Headquarters, Ministry of Magic, London
"You were considering retiring a year ago." Amelia Bones sipped her tea, watching the latest batch of auror trainees in their practical exams.
The auror trainees were split into two groups, the first group having distinguished themselves with their skills and talents and had attracted the attention of the senior aurors. They would soon be part of the elite Auror force, hunting dark wizards and witches for a living.
