Title: Understanding Your Task
Snape's elbows shifted, resting on his thighs. He clasped his hands, steepling the index fingers in contemplation, pointing them towards the half-kneazle.
His lank black hair slid across his cheeks as he peered into the cat's eyes, easily discerning the darkness hovering below the benign feline expression.
Snape inhaled sharply, speaking in soft deep tones, "you understand why you are here now?"
The cat swished its tail glancing back at Hermione, before returning attention to Snape.
"I see," replied the Potions Master. "You certainly must comprehend the task you now face," he stated seriously. The cat meowed, genuflecting in supplication.
