Hermione let herself into Harry's house, juggling the keys with the doorknob and the designer fruit basket that filled her arms. She kicked the door shut behind her, and hustled to the sitting room, dropping the keys on the coffee table and setting the basket gently next to them. She'd move it to the kitchen before she left, but she wanted to see to Scratch first.
Scratch was Harry's cat. Whenever Harry went out of town on assignment, Hermione watched Scratch for him. She supposed he trusted her because she'd had Crookshanks all these years, but for his stay at the Burrow during what should have been their seventh year of school. Scratch was a bit more typically feline than Crookshanks, but Hermione liked the cat very much all the same. He was a good sort, and a good pet for Harry.
Today she had some special treats for Scratch, since it was her last day watching him. Harry was due home tomorrow, which was why she'd brought the fruit arrangement for him. Parting gifts all around.
Hermione rummaged in her bottomless bag, coming up with the treats. She gave the canister a shake, hoping to summon Scratch, but had no luck. Odd. Usually he came running at the mere hint of treats. With a frown, Hermione tossed her bag on the sofa, and began to make her way around 12 Grimmauld, shaking the canister and calling for Scratch. Finally the feline came padding out of Harry's bedroom on the second floor, yawning as he came to Hermione.
She shook her head, crouching down to give Scratch a good petting.
"What were you up to in there, hmm?" she asked, running her fingers over the kitty's head. "Let's go down to the kitchen, shall we? I've got nice surprises for you and your human."
