! Family-focused, includes James/Lily, a touch of ensemble cast, with the main story told mostly from Harry's perspective.
After I finish my original danmei novel, I might post this one on Aifadian. The romance is undecided, and the other supporting characters might get thrown together in any combination. Everything depends on how it turns out once I start writing.
Third year. Hermione bought a cat. At their first meeting, the huge ginger cat was chasing Ron's Scabbers all over the place when it crashed right into Harry's feet. It stopped moving, looking like a mess of fluff from a Puffskein.
Harry scooped him up, with Ron's loud swearing and Hermione's worried questions ringing in his ears.
Green eyes met black ones.
Harry: "Hey, you little rascal, why weren't you watching where you were going?"
James: "Meow!"
James: Sorry, kiddo! I was in a hurry to catch that traitor!

Good news: Reunited with an old friend--
James Crookshanks, pampered and spoiled Potter: "Meow!"
James Crookshanks, pampered and spoiled Potter: Hey, mate, I knew as soon as I saw the newspaper that you must've escaped as an Animagus. I'm a genius! How long has it been? Let's have a proper drink together!
Sirius Black, escaped from prison and starving: "..."
Sirius Black, escaped from prison and starving: What is this cat meowing about?
Bad news: They don't speak the same language.

Lily: How did you manage to run straight into Harry without recognizing your own son?
James: Sorry, I wasn't wearing my glasses.

*There is more than one resurrected character, so any animal in this story might end up possessed by a soul. Animal fans (?) proceed with caution.
Theme: "It was all Crookshanks's doing. He loves playing with Dungbombs," Ginny said without blushing.
