Title: Snape's New Pet

The scathing rant Hermione expected from the Professor never came. He remained seated running his long fingers through the ginger colored fur.

Snape turned to reply noticing her dark aura; she was gaining balance through the loss. He sighed heavily with resignation, speaking deliberately but not to her, "I accepted responsibility for this life. Yes, I will monitor him. However, I need to alter his appearance. I will also add wards to camouflage the dark magic, but they will not endure the force of it over time."

Snape waved his wand, transforming her stocky Crookshanks into a sleek Siamese mix.
