"That could be it." Tonks agreed. "That goes to show no matter how cute Kit is, he's still a hunter by instinct."
Tonks stood up as the credits rolled past and scooped up her familiar from the floor. "C'mon big guy, it's time for another bath."
"Tonks... you know cats don't bathe that often." Andromeda said. "And you gave him a bath this morning."
"I know that... but thinking of all those little birds that Kit killed..." Tonks said. She raised Kit so that they were looking at each other eye to eye and asked. "Don't hunt those filthy rats okay?"
"Meow"
Tonks nodded and headed to the bathroom, turning on the faucet on the tub. Kit wondered why she did not stop after a few inches whenever she bathed him and he got his surprise a moment later.
The door sealed shut and Kit's eyes widened when he saw Tonks began to remove articles of clothing and dropped them to the floor. Tonks had just unclasped her bra when she noticed her familiar was hiding under the sink, with his eyes shut.
"Hey Kit, what are you doing hiding there?" Tonks asked. She leaned down to look at her familiar who opened his eyes and shut them immediately when he saw her state of undress.
"You're being silly again." Tonks grinned. She pulled him by his nape and dragged the young cat across the floor, his claws scratching the tiles in a desperate attempt to stay in his spot. She lifted Kit in one arms and secured him in her chest while she prepared the soaps for the tub.
Finished with her task, she looked down on Kit who was looking up at her with wide eyes, his head trapped between her breasts. "Relax Kit."
"Meooooooww"
"Are you scared of bathing with me?" Tonks asked. "Don't worry... I won't dunk your head in the water."
Tonks placed the cat on the ledge of the tub and removed her remaining article of clothing. She tested the water if it was hot enough. Satisfied, she submerged herself on the tub and stared at Kit who was looking at her with wide green eyes.
"Ohhh that feels so good!" Tonks moaned. She lifted her familiar and placed on her two knees that jutted out of the water. "See? There's nothing to be nervous about."
The young cat looked uncomfortable in his spot and Tonks lifted her cat and began to scrub his soaked body.
"Let's do this more often!" Tonks exclaimed as she rubbed soap on Kit's body. The young cat resigned himself to its current predicament and enjoyed the sensations on its body. Tonks always knew the right spot to scratch.
"Is it possible?" Harry asked.
"I don't know... I've never heard of a familiar bond forming between a witch and an animagus." Nicholas said. "Are you sure you both glowed similar colors?"
"We both glowed red." Harry said. "What happens now?"
"Familiar bonds are rare... It allows both animal and witch to feel each other's emotions to a certain degree... but that's it." Nicholas rubbed his chin. "You displayed the characteristics described in my research."
"So what, Tonks just knows how I feel? And I know what she feels?" Harry asked.
"That's about it..." Nicholas said. "I'm afraid I cannot tell you more, since I was not fortunate enough to meet my destined familiar. The only person I know that has knowledge regarding the relationship between familiar and master is of course Albus."
Nicholas laughed when he saw the boy's face at the thought of asking Albus Dumbledore for advice.
"No thanks, that old coot is too nosy for his own good." The young thief said. "I thought I just knew Tonks' personality so well and that's why I could predict what she was feeling. It turns out we feel each other's emotions."
"Nicky... can Tonks and I communicate through our minds?" Harry asked.
"Of course not." Nicholas scoffed at the idea. "There's no such thing... what gave you that idea?"
Harry removed the pocketbook he nicked from Hermione's bag and threw it on the old man's desk.
"What's this?" Nicholas eyed the pink covered book with disgust.
"Apparently... Hermione and Padma like to read those." Harry said. "It says in the back about something regarding soul bonds. Apparently people in love develop those, and as a result, they can talk with each other through their minds."
"That's... that's the most stupid idea I have ever heard!" Nicholas laughed. He wiped the tears of mirth from the corner of his eyes and looked at his young friend. "Harry... when I meant bond, it means you share closeness with the person you are close too."
"Everyone has a bond..." Nicholas continued. "But they just differ from one another. Your familiar bond with Tonks means that you both have the same personalities and line of thought, and that you can judge each other's emotions and feelings accurately. Magic just enhances that."
"What about this soul bond?" Harry asked.
"It's all in the imagination of these Witch authors." Nicholas said. "There is no such thing. Tell me Harry, when this Tonks met you, did you like her instantly?"
"She dunked my head on a bowl of milk." Harry said. "I wanted to scratch her."
"And then?" Nicholas smiled. "What happened when she adopted you as her pet?"
Memories of Kit's adventures in the Tonks residence flashed through his mind and Harry smiled. "I think I tolerated her at first... then she took good care of me... She has a good heart. After the first few weeks I began to like staying with her."
"And that proves the point I'm telling you." Nicholas said. "Bonds don't just form instantaneously... they form through experience... friendship and love. That's what makes a familiar bond so special, because magic itself recognizes that two magical beings are compatible."
Harry smiled. "Thanks Nicky."
"Your headmaster spoke with me this morning." Julian said. The Delacours and Harry were having a late dinner and Harry was busy making young Gabrielle laugh while Fleur discussed with her mother about the latest muggle fashion trends.
