Title: Breached Wards

"Check your potions Miss Granger," stated Snape heavily while absentmindedly petting Crookshanks, who curled up on his lap kneading the woolen fabric.

Snape added quietly, "the forest is viable, but the cat would be uncontrolled. I would anticipate Hagrid or the Centaurs killing him within the week."

Hermione gasped. "No, Hagrid would be devastated if he killed Crookshanks, and there might be questions and I don't want him killed."

"Yes, of course," replied Snape waving his other hand dismissively. "The shack has too many exits. Your inescapable ward on room of requirement was breached from inside; do you know why?"
