Title: A Safe Way
The several minutes of icy silence unnerved Hermione as she completed the dissection under Snape's calculating regard.

Hermione used the time setting up the equipment to think and gather her resolve. She would get her answers on Crookshanks condition, even if it cost points or another detention. "Yes," she thought, "detention is a safe way to get information from Professor Snape."
