I do not own Harry Potter. My very first fanfiction I have dictated most of it.
It has been four hours since the end of the second Wizarding war. He-who-must-not-be-named lay dead and defeated for the last time. The glow and melancholy of the whole affair sat heavy on the shoulders of one Muggle-Born witch, Hermione Granger. It is over she thought. She sat down on one of the bigger rocks in Hogwarts grounds she was alone, or was she. A black cat came into the open it licked it's paw regally.
"Hello there you must be a refugee. Who do you belong to?" Said Hermione
She when over to the cat and and look for its collar. She let out a sigh you belonged to one of the fallen students, Tomis Tams a Ravin Claw. The cat name is Sinclair, Hermione noted. She picked up the cat.
"I guess I will take you in Sinclair." The cat purred in Hermione arms. Crookshanks was given away when her parents went to Australian. Hermione missed the company of a cat and this one needed a home.
Hermione noticed a bit of blood Sinclair was injured. She performed a couple quick Healing spells.
"You should be good now" Hermione Said.
Hermione was tired the stress of the past few months have lifted, but before going to bed she decided to go get some food for Sinclair from the kitchen. It was a long walk but she was contented. There is something peaceful about doing something ordinary after so much extraordinary she thought. She quickly found some meat for the upcoming breakfast and Sinclair aight her fill. Hermione realized that she Had not eaten in about a day. So she had a pleasant meal with her new cat. After they finished she picked up Sinclair and then Hermione smile.
"It's going to be alright for the both of us" said Hermione still smiling.
She went upstairs to one of the lease destroyed dormitories. Harry and the Weasley family both offer her housing. But having traveled over most of the nation with the boys she wanted some time away from them. That wasn't the only reason though she thought, she didn't want to intrude on the Weasley's morning of their lost their loved one, even though she was Ron's girlfriend. She was debating renting a room at the three broomsticks or the hogshead when Prof. McGonagle offered a room and she accepted. She wanted to stay at the castle at least one more time, she would miss it's towers and rooms. As she got ready for bed.
Hermione got in to bed "Good night, Sinclair" She said. The cat hopped up into bed and made itself comfortable.
"Hello, You don't want to sleep alone do you. Neither do I" Hermione said sadly. The nightmares would come eventually Hermione knew. But the one that would stand out would be Bellatrix torturing her. But fortunately no nightmares or even dreams came just exhausted sleep.
It would've been so easy thought the cat. To kill the mudblood girl but why can't she. It was something she said a bit of kindness she needed. It's going to be alright for the both of us. Those words ware the nicest thing the cat have head in a very long time. She would keep up the ruse being a cat. To see if those words could be true for a black which like her, For she was the one and only, Bellatrix Lestrange. Plus when they finally find out she still among the living who would look for her here with there 'golden girl' and it would be devastating when she kills her.
