Title: Explain Why?
Crookshanks jumped on the desk and meowed, lightly pawing Severus' arm. He collected the cat and plopped into his desk chair. The cat gazed at Snape while he stroked its fur muttering softly, "I am sorry, I should have been stronger."
Death commented quietly, "I see you now understand the gravity and cost of this possession, the first one you experienced was not as evil. You can release the cat to me, you have the power."
"It is not for me to do," replied Snape with resolution.
"Please explain why," asked Death.
"That job is Hermione Granger's," answered Snape softly.
