A/N: Panthalon -I can't kill Crooksbecause then I would have no story! Thanks to Slytherin Husband (mine) and Samhaincat for excellent victim suggestions. Hedwig, hadn't thought about that. (Muhahah-Droxy the evil death eater)

Title: The Room Of Requirement

She clutched Crookshanks close, and spoke aloud to the stone and mortar, "I need a safe place to keep my Crooks." Before her eyes emerged a doorway and she grasped the brass knobs leading to the room of requirement. The room was cat heaven stuffed with plants, toys, and old furniture.

"You must stay here Crookshanks, I'll get you later tonight after my detention with Professor Snape," she ordered while placing him next to some catnip.

Hermione left to deal with a Saturday packed full of studying, and Crookshanks quickly learned the room provided him with the prey he wanted.
