"The story is good, but I'm wondering what role the cat is playing." (First thoughts from my girlfriend when reading this chapter.)

Mirror
A few hours after both James and Lily had fallen to sleep, a small black cat entered the common room. The cat walked over to the fireplace and sat down next to the glowing remains of the fire from the last day. At first the cat looked around a bit, but then she put her head between her paws and started to sleep.
In the early morning James stood up because he was too nervous to continue with his sleep any longer. Today he would go on a date with Lily. He would walk next to her, maybe even with her hand in his and it would be a date! A date, after so many years he had the feeling of reaching nothing, now he would really have a date with her. He sat down at one of the sofas near the fireplace and tried to calm himself, he had been on many dates with around half of the female population of Hogwarts, he should definitely be more relaxed about this. But she said this would be his only chance so he must not mess this up.
He was just about standing up again, when a very small black cat jumped on his lap and made herself comfortable there. She meowed and seemed to be very happy. James stroked her a bit and asked himself where this cat might come from. He had never before seen it anywhere around.

At around nine o'clock Lily stepped down the staircases from the girls dormitory's and saw James siting with a small cat at the sofa near the fireplace. She smiled and thought: I didn't know he is fond of animals, that makes him a lot more interesting.
