Chapter 6: Grizabella the Glamour Cat
As Tugger started dancing to a remix of his song with the other cats playing with his antics as the heroes watched, his eye suddenly caught something as he stood on the trunk. An old female cat appeared before them. Tugger fixed his mane and walked off. "Who's she?" Sarah asked. "I don't know." Carmelita said. As the old female cat approached, as Quaxo approached her, Munkustrap shoved him off, glaring at the old female cat. As Jemima tried to touch her, Skimble brought her away. Bombalurina circled the old female cat while glaring. Electra tried to touch her, but Jennyanydot shooed her away, shaking her head at the old female cat. Alonzo gestured her to come to him. But as she got close enough, he scratched her. Demeter approached to touch her, but then she shied away out of fear and discomfort. Bombalurina comforted her sister.
"Why are they acting so hostile around her?" Kaz asked. "Wait a minute. I think I know this cat. Yes, I recognize her. She's an outcast." Harry said. The others were shocked to hear this. "An outcast?" Parvati asked. "Yes." Harry said. "But why is she an outcast?" Maxxor asked. "Shh. Let's listen and find out." Harry whispered as the old female cat started to sing.
[Grizabella the Glamour Cat]
Grizabella: Remark the cat who hesitates towards you
In the light of the door which open on you like a grin
You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand
And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin
Demeter: She haunted many a low resort
Near the grimy road of Tottenham Court
She fleeted about the No Man's Land
From The Rising Sun to The Friend at Hand
And the postman sighed as he scratched his head:
'You'd really had thought she'd ought to be dead
And who would ever suppose that that
Was Grizabella the Glamour Cat?'
Bombalurina: Grizabella the Glamour Cat
Both: Grizabella the Glamour Cat
Chorus: Who would ever suppose that that
Was Grizabella the Glamour Cat?
As Grizabella left, the heroes walked up to Munkustrap as they stared after her. "She looks so sad." Hermione said. "Don't be fooled, my friends. Grizabella is not to be accepted by anyone. Hopefully you understand." Munkustrap said. But Harry continued to stare after Grizabella disappeared, feeling a sting of resemblance between himself and her.
