"How bad do you reckon that cat stinks right now?" Hermione whispered to Harry causing him to snort and choke on his laughter. They received glares from Mcgonagall, Potter and Evans for the comment, but Harry swore he saw a slight smirk on Severus’ face even through the shadows that encased the man. Of course Lockhart hadn’t noticed, he was too busy giving useless and unwanted advice, and Filch was softly crying beside Dumbledore. Harry had never thought he would feel sorry for the cranky and terrible mannered caretaker, but the man genuinely cared for Mrs Norris, and was mourning her.
