Title: Perfectly Normal

Crookshanks immediately relaxed in Hermione's arms. "Sorry Hagrid, he's been behaving aggressively since the incident," Hermione spoke looking to Hagrid with pleading eyes.

"It was nuthin'," replied Hagrid shrugging with his large shoulders. "It's perfectly normal for 'im t' act like that. Animals feelin' threatened will react like that, or run 'n' hide. It's clear as day 'e feels safe wit' yeh and tha's a good thing."

Hermione smiled trying to hide her turmoil. "Thank you, that's a logical explanation. I didn't think of that, and neither did Professor Snape."

Hagrid beamed with pride watching as Hermione and Crookshanks departed.
