Title: Killing is Reprehensible
Severus Snape looked upon the happy Crookshanks in his arms. "Contrary to what you may think, Miss Granger, I find needless killing reprehensible. I do not wish death on innocent creatures. I can do the deed you ask, but it will not solve the larger problem. The demon is linked to you and therefore only you can break that bond."
"But that's cruel! I've never killed anything," she cried.
"You must do it. Now you know why casting the spell has its price, it only delays the inevitable," Snape retorted darkly.
"No, I want proof of this demon!" Hermione demanded.
