I just realised...

Hedwig was killed off early on, but whatever happened to Crookshanks?

Ron was still holding a grudge against Crooks over the whole Scabbers incident and didn't care much for Hermione's scruffy, grouchy familiar. So Crooks, being half-kneazle, saved Snape's life by pulling a Lassie so that he (Severus) could get together with his mistress.

Kneazles are pretty smart like that. :D

lol I like that theory!

Crookshanks strolls through the debris the giants left behind. It smells badly, there is a sticky substance on the ground that makes a constant licking of paws necessary, it is loud ( ... )

I loves it!!! Severus will appreciate Crookshanks far more than Won-Won ever would. Thanks for posting. Now slap a title on it and post it everywhere!

Re: Me, too! dream_labyrinth July 25 2007, 19:14:57 UTC

*g*
Glad that a few minutes of silliness brightened your day!

I'll see if I can find a title, and then I'll put it in my fanfic journal tospareyou, see what people say.
It's not really archive material though, is it...

Re: Me, too! sabrebabe July 25 2007, 19:46:58 UTC

It certainly is archive material! It's just a little drabble-y thing, but it's a perfect jump-off for post DH SS/HG fanfic!

Maybe even a challenge!

Crookshanks get an Order of Merlin for saving the life of a hero!

*giggles*

Re: Me, too! dream_labyrinth July 25 2007, 20:56:37 UTC

*gg*
The hero would hate that, he still hasn't got one for himself...

Thank you, I'm glad you think the story's archive worthy. :-)

Oh, I love Crookshanks fics. Nicely done. Whaddya mean not archive material?

Re: Me, too! dream_labyrinth July 25 2007, 20:58:18 UTC

If I keep saying that, it'll look like I'm fishing for compliments.
But I just jotted it down in about five minutes, it's not as if it's the next fanfic of the century...

Glad you liked Crookshanks! I've never written him before, actually.

Re: Me, too! hope_24 July 25 2007, 21:16:28 UTC

Hee. You rule. :)

Re: Me, too! dream_labyrinth July 26 2007, 04:06:17 UTC

:-D Thanks!

Re: Me, too! themoreyouclean July 25 2007, 21:57:10 UTC

Brilliant! Cats (especially Kneazles) are very intelligent creatures.

Re: Me, too! dream_labyrinth July 26 2007, 04:05:58 UTC

So we're told.
Though JKR apparently isn't a cat person. Crooks only played an important role in PoA.

Re: Me, too! themoreyouclean July 26 2007, 15:03:48 UTC

True. She doesn't seem to be a dog person either based on Sirius' death in same. Trevor's still alive at the end, though, isn't he?

Re: Me, too! dream_labyrinth July 26 2007, 21:52:26 UTC

He hasn't been around in a while, has he? Maybe wandered off somewhere.

Re: Me, too! bluestocking79 July 25 2007, 23:33:54 UTC

You know, I really like this. It might not have taken you much time, but I think it's perfect as a drabble. As others have noted, it would be an adorable starting point for a longer fic.

I like the way Crookshanks' little cat-mind works. I especially like his realization that Snape is too skinny, and his resoning that Snape's feeder must be lying down on the job.
