Voldemort always occupied the armchair by the fireplace, while Harry had to sit on the couch, which a grey Kneezle with a torn ear, long tail, and sharp mustache was always trying to jump on. Harry would never have guessed that the Lestranges had any kind of animal in their house, but as time went on he realized that the creature was a perfect portrait of its owners: aggressive, vindictive, and cocky. The Bastard, as Harry called him, ignoring his idiotic name of Scipio, never approached Voldemort, but he had definitely made Harry his number one nemesis from the very first second. Harry tried locking the library doors, using charms, closing the Kneezle in a cupboard, but it still always managed to escape and attack him.
