Chapter 1: Merry Christmas

December 25th, 1996

My name is Hermione Jean Granger. I am 18 years old this past September and my favorite Hogwarts Professor has just given me this wonderful journal for Christmas. Wherever you are Professor McGonagall Thank You!

Well, since my beloved Crookshanks doesn't have his own Kitty Journal I might as well use this one to document everything he does and some of the weirder stuff that happens at Hogwarts.

Enough about me. I've had Crookshanks for 3 years now. He was left in a magical pet shop when Harry, Ron, and I found him. He had tried to go after Ron's pet rat at the time, who was actually a runaway wizard for Voldemort. Crookshanks happened to land on Ron's head and since then he hasn't liked my cat.

Sirius, Harry's godfather, used to really like him though. I think it's mainly because Crookshanks tried to save his life while he was still alive. Sadly he died last year during the battle at the Ministry.

Oh well, I'll write more later.
