AN: Not mine.
This one hurt hurt to write.
The soft patter of paws echoed through the cozy living room of the Granger-Weasley household, filling the air with a sense of warmth and companionship that had been sorely missed. Hermione sat on the couch, her heart heavy with grief after bidding farewell to her faithful feline companion, Crookshanks, who had passed away peacefully in his sleep after a long and happy life.
As she wiped away tears, Hermione felt a gentle hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Harry and Ron standing before her, their faces filled with sympathy and understanding. Without a word, they presented her with a small wicker basket, from which peeked a pair of curious eyes—a tiny kitten, with fur as black as midnight and eyes as bright as emeralds.
Hermione's breath caught in her throat as she reached out to cradle the kitten in her arms, her heart swelling with a mix of joy and gratitude. For in that moment, she realized that while Crookshanks may have left a void in her heart, he had also left behind a legacy of love and companionship that would never be forgotten.
With Harry and Ron by her side, Hermione welcomed the newest member of their family—a symbol of hope and renewal in the face of loss. And as the kitten nestled into her embrace, purring contentedly, Hermione knew that while she would always cherish the memories of Crookshanks, her heart had found room for a new friend to share in the joys and sorrows of life's journey.
Review please.
