owlgirl1998:nyodrite:owlgirl1998:fatima-fati:Because I sincerely believe that even if Dumbledore could leave baby Harry at the doorstep for a night- the Mcgonagall I know would’ve stayed behind, crying silent tears over the loss of her two students, and holding the infant in her arms.In the morning when milkman arrived, he was rather amused by seeing a tabby cat sitting by a small bundle..why am i like this guys@nyodrite okay but an au where the dursleys not only get a baby, but a cat, because that damn stray just won’t leave except for those few months where they think she’s gone, before she’s bACK and Harry grows up with McGonagall watching over him.I refuse to write something for this, but I can’t leave it alone so you get this;When Harry gets old enough to realize that ‘kitty’ isn’t a name, he decides to name her “Specs” for the glasses markings (it was going to be “Glass”, “Glassie” or “Glasses” but McGonacat Did Not Approve)When Harry has a particularly bad day, McGonacat allows him to cuddle her - generally she doesn’t since he has a tendency to hug too tightly, pinching skin and fur but sometimes she makes exceptionsHarry gets his Hogwarts letter and he is so Excited that he can take Specs with him, he’s heart broken when his cat/best friend goes missing and ends up left behind when he takes the Hogwarts ExpressHarry crying when Specs is revealed to be McGonagall, that there was an adult who cared about him and looked after him all this time even if not as a human - McGonagall telling him stories about his parents(Due to these stories, when Harry first sees Remus he bursts into giggles because he gets a sudden rush of memories of all the stories McGonagall told him about the Marauders’ antics)McGonacat kicking up a huge fuss when the Dursleys tried to stick Harry under the stairs - she manages not to change back to hex them, though it is a close call, but she sets off the fire alarm. Frequently.(She also low-key wages psychological warfare against the Dursleys)Toddler Harry learned to walk by chasing McGonacat, his favorite game as a baby was trying to catch her tailMcGonacat curled up with Harry when he was a child, purring until he fell asleepHarry returns to the Dursleys after his First Year and is both shock and overjoyed to find that Specs also returnedConsider: McGonagall functioning as a surrogate family for Harry. After the war he stays with her and meets her brother and family. -- source link
