Cat and Dog

A/N – In answer to the Whispers Challenge issued by the good Professor Snape (Delphyne).

He was a dog, well his werewolf self was meant to have descended from the dogs.

She was a cat and a rather fetching grey tabby at that.

It would never, ever work. Mother Nature had decreed cats and dogs should never mix eons ago.

Since taking up a teaching position at Hogwarts', Remus found himself enjoying Minerva McGonagall's company. A love of Quidditch sparked a debate over appropriate coaching strategies during games when fog clouded the pitch. The debate over conjuring sudden breezes lasted until two in the morning and a friendship had been born between the werewolf and one of the wizarding worlds' few female Quidditch coaches.

Lately Remus had been looking at Minerva and wonder what else she was passionate about besides her students, Quidditch, the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and green tea.

He wasn't sure when this feeling began or whether it was a leftover touch of full moon madness. It was a weird feeling, even for a werewolf who thought he wrote the book on weird.

However, the way he was feeling right now over Gryffindor's leading student Hermoine Granger being seen smooching Severus Snape in the moonlight by the lake, Remus Lupin's respect and liking for Minerva McGonagall was about to fly out the window.

Thinking back on "THE KISS" as Remus had termed it. all his self control went into not throwing something at the giant squid and encourage it to lash out at Severus and Hermione who appeared enthralled by each other.

How dare Minerva ignore a blatant romance between a teacher and a student? Why was this behaviour acceptable to her? Had she propositioned the Head Boy Oliver Wood in her spare time?

This cat and dog were going to rumble.
