Minerva was mildly amused at Peaches’ antics but had to reprimand Hagrid for letting his pet wander the castle unaccompanied. He in turn built a shack and paddock for her to romp and play in while at the same time curl up safe from the weather. She proved almost immediately why that wouldn’t do for her. One afternoon, while Hagrid was cleaning out her shed, Peaches figured out how to lift the latch on the door and sauntered out, pleased as you could be. Hagrid only knew that something was off when his hearing picked up on the heavy door lock clicking into place with a loud thunk. In the meantime, Peaches took herself for a walk in the castle where she followed a gaggle of first year Gryffindors into their common room leaving behind a spluttering guardian portrait.
