"I can't really take Kitty anywhere. My aunt's a muggle and she knows nothing about magic. Mom didn't tell her I'm a witch because she thought it'd be 'too complicated' for an old lady." That was partly true.
The third year almost jumped screaming when Peyton got up enthusiastically. What the heck... She then got it. "Well at least you've got your dad." She said trying to console the kid.. as well as envy her. Ahem. "My mother's abroad with her husband and kids, and I'm stuck with Aunt Brown for the rest of my life." She gulped at the idea which wasn't one hundred percent right, but you get the idea.
"Yes. I am in Ravenclaw." She said proudly, if only she wore her robes already everyone would see that she was from the eagles. "Are you excited about being in any of the houses?" Louisa asked smiling at her new friend and bringing her feet up on the seat. Not a very appropriate move, but she was just tired.
Ahh, Peyton understood now. Of course the kitty couldn't be healed by magic if her aunt was a muggle and Louisa couldn't either because she was under age. That was sad.
"Poor Kitty." she said, pouting a bit.
"Maybe...maybe my dad can heal hear." she said, her eyes brightening up. But, how would she get her dad to Hogwarts? Hmm.
Wait...her aunt didn't know she was a witch?
"If your aunt doesn't know your a witch does she know you're going to Hogwarts?" what if she ran away and was living a life of adventures. Peyton would love to do that one day.
The girl nodded. She only needed her daddy and not a stupid step-mom along with her son. Peyton had many questions for Louisa like; why would her mom leave or why wasn't she living with them? But, she didn't want to make her sad. It did though, remind her of her mom.
"Kinda like me," not really, but still.
"My mom lives in France with my three sisters," while she lived in the US with her dad.
OOOOHH!
Peyton couldn't believe she just met a RAVENCLAW.
"That is wicked cool." she beamed. If she made Ravenclaw then her mom would be happy, maybe?
"I really want to be in Ravenclaw or Slytherin." like her daddy. It was a hard choice to make, so she'll just let the Sorting Hat do it's magic.
BUT, she will not allow it to place her in Hufflepuff. Her mother had warned her about that house and it was a BIG no-no for her.

"And speaking of beautiful, look at you, Usagi- you are sooo beautiful". She put her hand out for the cat to sniff. In that baby voice that people tend to use around cute animals, Melina cooed, "You didn't like that mean old cage, now did you? It's ok now, no more mean cage, sweetie." Usagi was absolutely stunning.
She opened up her cages and gently reached in. She placed the two puffs between her and Peyton where they rolled over each other playfully. "I just love them!!" Melina sighed. "You can pick them up if you want- they're so soft. They'll like to sit on your shoulder, too." Melina loved having them out of their cages, but she kept a wary eye on Usagi; her puffs might look too much like enticing cat toys.
"I have a bird too- his name is Pinky the Wonder Parakeet. I -put him down with the other birds- I think he'll enjoy the company!"
Melina laughed at her new friend's mispronunciation of her favorite book series. "It's Anne of Green Gables. The books are my favorites! Green Gables is where Anne lives- on Prince Edward Island, near Nova Scotia. The island is unbeilievably beautiful- I got to go once. It's set back at the turn of the 20th century. Anne gets adopted and moves to PEI. She has really red hair, redder than mine, and gets teased about it. But what I like is her spunkiness. When the boy next to her in school pulls her hair and calls her "carrots" she picks up her slate and breaks it over his head!" Melina grinned triumphantly. "Her very best friend is Dianny, and they call themselves "bosom friends"- that's they're way of saying the bestest, closest friends ever! I of course brought them with me. Would you like to read them?"
Melina wondered what it was like to be a pureblood, with very little contact with the Muggle world. She liked having a presence in both worlds. "Oh, I'm half and half. My dad is a retired Auror and my mum works for a huge world peace organization called the United Nations. What do your parents do? I'm an only child. How many siblings do you have?"
She munched on a chocolate frog and watched Peyton dig through the bag for her choice of sweets.
Peyton scrunched up her nose a bit. She didn't really fan the name Pey. “You can call me P.” that's what everyone else she knew called her. “Thanks!” she said, “I was named after my dad.” oh yeah, and she wore that name proudly.
The girl giggled when Mel complimented Usagi. The cat loves compliments and she relished in them, but she was mean. Not to her of course, but to strangers. Peyton, although she doesn't attack, the usually ignores people.
The white Persian purred when the girl complimented her. She already knew she was beautiful, just look at her. She allowed the girl to pet her, but stepped away when she started to coo at her. She was not a kitten, she was a mature cat and deserved to be spoken to properly. But, this girl seemed to understand her pain, maybe she's been in a cage too. Those dreadful witches that had locked her up in a cage would get a very nice surprise when she saw them again.
Peyton squealed when Mel took out the puffs. They were SUPER cute! She gently took one and cuddled it to her chest, not wanting it jump off and having a bad experience happen to it with Usagi. “They are too CUTE.” she said, petting it softly. She was going to have to convince her daddy to get her one. Maybe for Christmas. “I have a gecko that's why my dad won't let me have one of these.” she said, still petting the soft fur ball.
Usagi swung her tail back and forth, not happy with the sight in front of her. Not at ALL. How could Peyton do that to her? Pet another fluffy creature besides HER. WAAAAAHH!!! That was not fair. “Meow.” the cat meowed dramatically and lay on her side. Hopefully this would get Peyton's attention.
Anne got made fun of because of her red hair? Peyton took a strand of her red hair and frowned. What if she got made fun of too? And now that she was mad with John there was no one to beat up those bullies. That thought escaped her mind once Mel told her about the guy getting hit with a slate. “That's what he deserved!” Peyton laughed. She was going to need her very own slate. “She sounds really cool.” P nodded. Of course she would want to read them!
“Really?” that was cool. She probably had much more exposure to the muggle world. “My dad is a retired famous Quidditch player.” she said, smiling proudly. “And my mom is an Auror at the French Ministry of Magic.” yep,
her mom caught bad people, it was weird. Ah, Mel was lucky! “I have three sisters, but they live in France with my mom and I have a step brother.” she so wished she was an only child.
Pfft.
