He smelled weird.
That was the first thing Mrs. Norris realised. This new cat at Hogwarts smelled really weird, and really different.
It wasn't a weird different, necessarily. It was just different to how other cats smelled.
It enticed Mrs. Norris.
So Mrs. Norris sought the other cat out, following his owners constantly. She found out that he was named Crookshanks and finally got to talk to him alone one night as he tried to sneak out of the castle.
"Now where do you think you're going?" she asked him, putting her paws up to block his way.
"Out," he meowed at her, trying to bat her out of the way with his paw.
"Not before a get a name," she insisted, pawing back at him.
"Crookshanks," he said, giving her a dark look. "Now, then." Before she could catch him, he slipped by her and started to run away. She followed him, her legs working hard.
"Wait!" she called.
He gave a groan and turned around, looking at her. "I'm busy," he said, giving her a darker look than before. "What?"
"I was just wondering," she said, using her paw to touch his head lightly. "If maybe we could go to the kitchens together and get a free ham from the house elves?"
Crookshanks tail puffed up as he looked at her strangely. "Together?" he asked, narrowing his yellow eyes. "Like on a date?"
Mrs. Norris rolled her eyes. No, not on a date. "Yes," she said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
He faltered for a minute, kneading his paws into the soft dirt in the ground. "I guess we could do that, if you wanted to."
Mrs. Norris meowed, happy, and walked over, licking Crookshanks on the face.
"See you tomorrow," she said, before turning and running away.
She finally got the weird-smelling cat.
