Title: The Job Ahead

Hermione left the boys after they extracted a promise from her to proof their essays.

As she headed towards the library she saw Snape talking to Filch. Mrs. Norris clutched at his shoulders, fearful of falling off. The caretaker absentmindedly soothed his nervous cat, a sight that renewed her concern and grief for Crookshanks.

Hermione scurried by, noticing the shift in the Professors eyes as she passed through the library doors. Thankful she did not have a confrontation with the dark Professor, she headed towards the hundreds of volumes on Transfiguration. It was going to be a very long weekend.
