[Harry Potter] What's Wrong with Loving Big Cats?

As Kingsley's colleague in both the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, Phoebe objectively considered him capable, dependable, and one of the rare truly good men in today's world.

But she had never entertained any improper thoughts about him. After all, he was eight years older than her and wouldn't even grow his hair out.

That was, until one time when they were on a mission together and she discovered that his Patronus was a lynx.

The most beautiful one she'd ever seen, too.

So she volunteered to partner with Kingsley on every mission, just to get another look at that gorgeous lynx.

"Kingsley, could you send a message to Grimmauld Place with your Patronus? I lost my wand."

"I don't think we need to use Muggle communication. Why not have your lynx go find Hestia, okay?"

"I can't handle all these Dementors on my own. Hurry and bring out your lynx to help me, please."

Every time she said this, the man would sigh helplessly and let the silver light from his wand tip transform into a lynx and bound away. Phoebe would then watch, perfectly content, as it showed off its agile figure and fluffy paws.

Then one day, she discovered that her own Patronus had also become a lynx.
