Title: A Visit

Snape thrust Crookshanks into Hermione's arms smirking. "I do not expect to see you until Saturday," he commented derisively.

"Good day to you too, Sir," she replied coolly to his departing cloak disappearing into a shadowy narrow passageway.

Hermione continued to Hagrid's hut. The half-giant was returning from the forest.

"Well 'ello Hermione. I see you've got your little friend wit yeh," he beamed.

"Yes Hagrid, that's why I am here, I know you are really good with animals and I need your counsel. Can we go inside?" she asked respectfully.

Hagrid stood even taller with pride at her compliment.
