D R A C O-- Liz(not really), Sophie
Draco saw as a cat jumped down from a tree near where Home was, and thought it odd how fearless she was. Of course, it was full grown, so he couldn't be that surprised.
He watched, approaching a little swifter as Home spun his head around 180 degrees, then trilled at the cat.
Home, why are you so friendly? You and I both know that cats don't understand owl... foolish bird.
Draco let his posture relax, glancing up for a moment to note the time- it looked about time for him to return to his dorm...
Dorm 2, he decided, with seemingly no reason at all.
As he reached the girl, cat, and owl, he inclined his head, showing both respect and a non-threatening air to the girl, and gently spoke.
"Sorry..."
Then, without warning, Draco flung his hand towards the owl, as though he meant to hit it, hissing "Go, Home..."
To anyone listening, it would sound like a command, 'go home.'
The melanistic barn owl, of course, simply launched itself off the bench silently, easily avoiding Draco's hand, before rising into the air and beginning to fly in circles above Draco once more.
With one more awkward bow towards the sitting girl, the dangerous aura he had emitted while hissing gone as though it had never existed, Draco once again turned away and began to walk.
But, before he did so, and without hardly looking, the pale boy impulsively picked up the cat. The movement of his soft hands was incredibly fast, and the cat was lying comfortably in his arms before he finished his unpaused step. Draco's long, slim fingers gently brushed along the top of the cat's head and down to its shoulders.
After a few steps, the boy began to speak gently, and so quiet it could hardly be heard, even to a cat's sensitive ears.
"My... you're a lovely little thing, aren't you? And to be playing outside in the cold... I hope you don't mind that I've carried you, lovely, but I figured you'd prefer not to have to freeze your paws in the cold snow.."
Draco's voice was low, and his eyes were showing nothing but warmth and kindness.
It never even occurred to him that the cat he was holding was not, in fact, a cat at all.
