Title: Nothing But Trouble

Hermione was surprised that she saw Crookshanks but no Professor Snape, and soon became incredulous, as she didn't read anything mentioning animals could use the floo independently.

"Crooks," she hissed, but the cat only acknowledged her and shot towards the direction of Mrs. Norris.

"Oh no!" she thought desperately, "Oh God I am in so much trouble." Because Snape would wake up sans cat and she didn't want to think about that reaction. She had to return him now.

Mrs. Norris had her nose and paw stuck in the crack trying to investigate the mysterious liquid and ignored Crookshanks approach.
