Title: Grasping at Straws

Snape rapidly twisted his body, slamming his fist on his desk making Hermione jump. "Tell me what you know about the cats. How did you get Crookshanks out of my chambers?" he demanded harshly using a tone just above a whisper.

Hermione shook her head violently. "I didn't let him out! I swear." she protested. "He just darted into the library from the fireplace. Did you use the floo and not check?"

Severus' left eye began to twitch and he snorted with incredulity. "You expect me to believe the cat used the floo? You are lying and grasping at straws."
