"Open the book and read the preparation," Snape commanded in a voice deceptively smooth.
"Alright," she responded exhaling the breath she was holding.
Hermione's face twisted in concentration. "The language is cryptic. The ritual requires a wizard and witch; one of day and one of night. Is that correct?"
She watched as Snape removed Crookshanks from the crate. He held the cat in the crook of his arm, running a finger lightly through its soft fur.
"I think you already know that Miss Granger," replied Snape in precise tones, his dark hair covering his profile as he preened the cat.
