- Unregistered animagus cat Eric Bittle prowling around Hogwarts in tiny fluffy cat form after dinner when he has nothing better to do
- closet cat-lover Jack Zimmermann finding him
- Jack: [soft gasp]
- Bits vaguely recognizing him as a Quidditch captain (which house? who knows) and padding over to see if he can get some ear-scratches
- He gets the ear-scratches
- From then on, Bits finds Jack once in a while (in the library! in the dorms! in the hallways!) and gets the love and attention that small cats deserve
- Jack finds petting cats very therapeutic and calming. Win-win
- The small fluffy sunshine cat is very friendly in particular
- Jack feels a little bad for essentially kidnapping what he thinks is someone else’s pet cat for hours every week but the cat seems chill with it so he figures it’s fine
- Shitty: whoa i didn’t know you had a cat
Jack: neither did i- Bits grows to really like Jack!! Too bad he’s a cat and Jack would probably freak out if he suddenly wasn’t a cat
- Jack really likes his unofficial cat but he’s also had his eye on this tiny blond seeker for a while now (from which house? who knows)
- EVENTUAL REVEAL of cat-seeker double identity
- Defensive reasoning for why he’s animagus in the first place (everything is easier as a cat. no cat bullies)
But also:
- Bits the small cat loaf
- Jack scooping him up so they can go to a better environment for cats and people
- Bits the small cat napping in the sun
- Jack sitting beside the puddle of sunlight to study while small cat does not study and sleeps instead
