[It's early afternoon at this point when Hermione sits down at the dining room table and opens her journal. It's started recording as soon as she tells it to, but the sound of something near the door distracts her.]
...Who left the door open?
[There's a little shuffling as she goes to shut the door and then sits back down in her chair. A little more as she takes a breath to speak and then-
-there's a sound that's very much a cat's meow. That's definitely not Hermione's voice. She looks down at the floor-]
CROOKSHANKS?!
[Cue one delighted Hermione practically squealing as her lap is now the territory of
a very familiar cat. The recording keeps going for a few minutes before she finally remembers to shut the journal. Housemates are welcome to come in to see what she yelled about. Seriously? Best birthday ever.]
(ooc: I'll have a
permissions thing up for Crookshanks, since he's highly intelligent. Not a requirement to fill it out, but helpful for me.)
