Professor McGonagall
A huge and ugly orange cat that Hermione adopts instead of an owl. He immediately gets on Ron's bad side by trying to attack Scabbers in the magical creatures shop, and he spends the rest of the year attempting to follow through on this first attempt. Though Harry and Ron resent Crookshanks for this, Harry begins to suspect that there's more to Crookshanks when he sees the cat outside with the hulking black dog Harry initially believes is the Grim. In the Shrieking Shack, Sirius Black--the black dog--explains that Crookshanks is the smartest cat he's ever met and seems to know that Scabbers isn't actually a normal rat. Crookshanks helps Sirius throughout the novel and even steals Neville's list of Gryffindor Tower passwords for him.

Quotes
Hermione burst into tears. Before Harry could say or do anything, she tucked the enormous book under her arm, and, still sobbing, ran toward the staircase to the girls' dormitories and out of sight.
"Can't you give her a break?" Harry asked Ron quietly.
"No," said Ron flatly. "If she just acted like she was sorry--but she'll never admit she's wrong, Hermione. She's still acting like Scabbers has gone on vacation or something."
