With a light squeak, Peyton bounced back as the trunks fell on the floor. She would have giggled, but West had his wand out. Right, right. You don't sneak up on a Slytherin. But...she did it. Not even sorry. "Didn't mean to startle you, West," she said, walking past him and patting his shoulder as she went.

She stood by Kat and nodded, smiling at her. "Okay. Dylan said I should for precaution, you know." The disillusionment charm made her feel like a really cool ninja, but it was time for business. Though this wasn't the last time she'd be under the charm, she decided.

Glancing at the pile of trunks, Peyton spotted a pair of bright yellow eyes at the bottom of the pile.

Ahhhhh!

Running toward it, she shoved everything aside, pulled the golden cage toward her and tapped her wand on the lock. "My poor babyyyy," she cooed as Thor the kneazle peeked out of the cage and pounced on her, snuggling her neck. She cradled him in her arms and turned to face her housemates.

So she found her stuff. Could they go now?

Probably not.

"Why don't we shrink the trunks? It'd be easier to carry them if they were tiny," she said, hauling her trunk up.
