With her trunk packed away in the luggage compartment, Trixie made her way along the aisle of the train, peeking into each compartment as she went by looking for someone that she knew or perhaps someone new to talk to.
She shifted the box she was carrying, a going away gift from her father, from her left hand to her right and slowed to a stop when she spotted one Ariadne Greingoth looking rather indecisive.
"Hey Ariadne." Trixie greeted the girl. They didn't really know each other but they had a couple of classes together. The third year glanced into the compartment they were standing in front of. "Did someone let off a dungbomb or something?" Is that why she wasn't going in?
Ariadne was just about to feel really awkward about standing in the middle of the corridor, when she heard her name coming from somewhere beside her. Shifting her gaze, she saw a Gryffindor girl she knew was named Trixie. They were both third years, so they pretty much had most of their classes together.
"Hey, Trixie!" she greeted.
"What's up?" Ariadne peered into the compartment the girl was looking into, and for a moment, she had no idea where the dungbomb reference came from. Was something smelling?
...and then she felt dumb.
"Oh, right!" she said, and then she kind of opened the door of the compartment and walked just instead the doorway.
"No, I'm just being indecisive. I was trying to figure out where I wanted to sit, and I guess I was just overthinking this." She was getting to that awkward age where appearance and her peers' opinions meant a lot.
"You want to hang out?" She gestured inside the compartment.
"So what's in the box?" Please tell her she had just invited someone into a compartment who had with them a box full of cupcakes!
