Josh eyed the professor suspiciously but did not move or did not react at the sight of the...wiggling bag??...for he wanted to look brave. Hah! He was a Gryffindor after all. A proud Gryffindor. Nevertheless it was still hard not to worry about what was inside that box everytime it moved. And he was also holding cages. There was no need to be a Ravenclaw to figure out that it was something extremely unpleasant inside that bag, if it came with empty cages.

He looked up when Lawson spoke to him asking if he had anything to say. Maybe he could try some smooth talk and make the professor feel pity for him a little so the punishment might be less severe. But no...what was done was done and he was not going to cry like a baby over it. ''No!'' he said firmly moving his gaze at the bag again.
