Disclaimer: JKR owns it, it's a pity I don't. No cats were harmed in the creation of this fic. The author loves cats and owns two lovely black strays. Adopt a cat from a shelter because it is the Thing You Should Do if you want a cat. I happen to love Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris and that's why I borrow them so much from JKR. I AM NOT MEAN TO CATS! Dang it!

Title: Stupify!

The hellacious yowls and screeches thundered through the halls and all Hermione had to do was locate the source. Fur was flying everywhere and Crookshanks raised his bloody paws to slash them across the throat of Mrs. Norris. Hermione didn't hesitate and pointed her wand at her cat and yelled, "stupefy!"

Still wrapped in the invisibility cloak she ran towards the animals praying to God that Filch, or worse Snape had not heard the racket. However, every nearby portrait awoke abruptly and their gossip soon escalated through their network as Hermione surveyed the brutal carnage realizing she had little time.
