An Ill Wind

The attack was silent, deadly. Severus staggered to his feet, cupping a hand over his nose.

“Merlin, can’t you smell that?”

Remus looked up from his reading, unperturbed. “Relax, Severus. It wasn’t planned.”

Severus, eyes watering, was gasping for air. “It’s trying to kill us.”

Remus sighed. “It’s perfectly natural...”

“No, it’s perfectly toxic! What are you feeding it?”

Remus stroked their Kneazle’s fur. “Leftovers, as you suggested. That specialized diet was ‘too expensive’. Remember?”

Severus swept away muttering about toxic fumes.

Remus smiled. “I think Papa Sev will be managing your diet from now on,” he whispered with satisfaction.
