He’d just finished carefully folding an old suit — the one that he’d worn to his own father’s funeral — when the knock resounded across the room, and he made sure to leave a note at his roommate’s desk before he opened the door, snakes wound around his form. “Ready,” he replied, Nagini in a cage under his arm, plain black luggage at his side. “Don’t worry about Monty and Sir Nelson; I just fed ‘em, so they’ll behave.”
It must've been the still-fresh cut of grief lining her young heart, but the girl did not even startle with the sight of two snakes wound around the other's body like she would usually do. Instead, she offered him a rather blunt nod, humming once as she fetched her trolley, her other hand finding its way to grasp upon the sleeve of his jacket. "Do you want me to shadowtravel us out or do you want to walk?" Her tone lacked her morning sweetness, but she tried her best to still speak to him with a smile. "First option is faster."
