Characters: Remus/Severus
Rated: PG


The bookstore cat was rasping her soft fur with her tongue, the meticulous cleaning catching Remus’s eye. She was curled on a stool near Severus, who was nose-deep in a tome called Defensive Hexes.

The initial awkwardness of their dinner together had dissipated. Remus’s suggestion of an after-supper stroll to Flourish and Blott’s was a success, and anticipation was building. They’d been browsing for an hour. It was time.

He sidled up behind Severus, touched his shoulders, leaned in, and ran his tongue along the soft skin below his ear. Severus stiffened, then relaxed.

“It was the cat’s idea,” Remus whispered.

Teehee, a wolf taking advice from a cat. How precious.

Ha! So true. Although the cat would probably be the one feeling miffed a that a canine had been imitating her. Knowing cats.

Awww! So very lovely! *giggles*
Even Severus can't argue with that. :)

Well, I imagine he might try, but not with much enthusiasm. Argue I mean. ;)
Glad you liked it!
