 Hufflepuff Forever Interstellar Hitchhiker
“Nice to meet you Ari,” the puff said taking the girls hand and giving it a firm shake. Catching the girl’s comment, Em frowned. “Probably because they forgot what it was like being a firstie.” As she said this, she couldn’t help but think back to her first year, when she was a nervous wreck, how Lafay scared her, and her best friends.
But then she caught the other girl’s statement. Did she really just say that? “Well, I don’t think it’s a good idea to ever climb on any train, even the Hogwarts Express. And my experience with owls has taught me that they rarely need saving. They are usually pretty good at staying out of trouble.” Except for Bubba, but that bird was nuts. “And I can assure you all that you were lucky it was student that found you. Any professor’s punishment would be ten times worse I’m sure. And some of them,” like the potionsmistress, the girl though, “would have put you in detention until you were seventh years.” She hadn't meant to get all serious on some firsties on the train ride in, but apparently kids had gotten way crazier in the last few years.
Anyways, Em noticed that the food trolley lady didn't seem to be helping anybody at the moment so she decided to go ahead and order. "Ma'am, can I have four chocolate frogs for my friends here, two pumpkin pasties, a licorice wand, and a pumpkin juice?" she asked, setting her payment on the trolley. "Thanks" she said, placing the bag with the pasties into her messenger bag, and handing the frogs out to each of the kids.
