Trunks with the Slytherin crests. THEIR trunks.
Oh so they weren't the only ones? Okay. Kat gave the Slytherin, who she remembered actually shared the sixth year girls' dormitory with her, a polite nod. You know, just to acknowledge her. Wasn't she supposed to be at the common room with the others? Kat better not catch her roaming the corridors and halls at night.
And then the patronus. That was useful.
Shuttling the trunks. Lots of spellwork then? Well, how can three Slytherins take all of these over to the dorms? "Isn't this too much trunks to shuttle to the dormitory with just the three of us?" Or they could wait for them to come over and find their trunk. I mean, that'd be a better option.
"Oh you wanna stand here and guard them then?" West looked up from his efforts (still hunting for his besties trunk)
"Me and Sky could take ours and go tell everyone to come get their own, but aren't they starting on the common room?" Or... they should be. That'd suck if they were just still standing there talking.
"I was thinking we could...."
He stopped suddenly. He had several ideas but that wasn't the problem. Would they have to pay a knut for EVERY one of these trunks to get them past the turnstiles? Or did it only block living things? And if it blocked living things... West eyed his trunk. His trunk would totally be blocked. Maybe.
"How are you at banishing spells?" He asked instead.
And then someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Which... okay, you don't tap a snake on the shoulder when he's holding a wand. You just don't. West, by reflex, dropped the trunk he was in the middle of levitating, right where said shoulder-tapper's feet were, and jumped back, wand at the ready.
Oh.
Oh.
Err... Hi Peyton.
