Title: The Cat Remains

It took Hermione over an hour to finish and bottle her labors, and when she finished she collected Crookshanks who sat vigilantly by Snape' door.

Crookshanks purred in her arms as she leaned towards the frame. She could hear the clicking of Snape's boots as he paced floor. "Professor, I've completed the cheering potion," she announced.

A few minutes later the door flew open as Snape marched into the room. Once he inspected the potion he dismissed her.

As she turned to leave the Professor grabbed her shoulder, his voice firm and commanding, "The cat shall remain here, Miss Granger."
