Title: Similar to Inferi

"For such a discovery, auditors would claim tampered memories, even under Veritaserum or Legilimens. It has been attempted by dubious fame-seekers before," replied Snape silkily, as he punctured her logic.

Snape laughed at her. "The Headmaster would know as we do, but he is unable to produce hard evidence. If anyone could, it would be the Headmaster. The examination would reveal the cat as a body animated by dark magic, very similar to an Inferi, but warm and alive."
