Theme # 54: Dare


Crookshanks was in a pretty smug mood. The orange cat leaped up lightly, and climbed on the window-sill of the Gryffindor common room. He could look down, into the grounds, from here, but that was not the point. The point was that this window, reminded him of another, the one he had curled up on, earlier today -- the one where another cat, some inferior sort it was clear, had had the cheek to dare him to jump!

He had not completed the dare, of course. He knew he was perfect, and no cat was allowed to question his judgement.
