Theme # 12: Charms


Crookshanks had not had a happy day. Some other cat had pounced on his breakfast before he could make his move; his owner had not petted him, in the common room, because she was distracted; and the boy with the glasses had accidentally stepped on his tail. Of course, Crookshanks had sunk a claw in the boy's sock, but that had not been of much help.

The cat eyed the girl with the big book of Charms in front of her, as he stepped into the library, then leaped into her lap because she looked all warm and happy.
