Default Food Trolley


It goes without saying that everyone's favourite person in the train is the trolley lady. Old, plump, and just as sweet as the food she sells, she can provide you with the sugary delights you desire -- from Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans to Chocolate Frogs to Pumpkin Pasties, it is all there in her trolley! The woman comes around during the middle of the journey and is generally the cause for any traffic jams taking place in the corridor.

When you hear "Anything from the trolley?" be hollered, even from a distance, it would be wise of you to jump up, make sure you have your money in your pocket, and get in the corridor before a long line begins to form. If you are the unfortunate soul that has to deal with an endless line, keep calm and stay put because the wait is certainly worth it. Please make sure you are waiting your turn with patience because the trolley lady is likely to refuse making a transaction with you if she sees you trying to cut in line or pushing people out of the way.

OOC: No one plays the trolley lady, so please role-play receiving snacks and paying on your own.

It was time to go back to school and Natalie was feeling... strange. She had enjoyed her summer and was sad to see it go, yet she was also excited for another year at Hogwarts. She liked the difference school and schedules made to her life and was excited to get back to seeing her friends and classmates all the time. However, there was just something... off about her.

Maybe it was partially because Derf was going to be sitting in his new compartment this time and she wouldn't be able to sit with him. She had been excited for him when he told her he'd received a badge, but at the same time had been a little jealous that she hadn't gotten one. Her mum had reassured her that it was still early and she had time to get one, but... still.

Trying to move past prefect thoughts, Natalie was stalling by getting in line at the food trolley to grab some snacks for herself and her twin brother for the ride.

This was going to be harder than she thought. Summer was the time than she could eat whatever she wanted to and whenever she wanted to. Now since she wanted to try out for quidditch she was going to have to buckle down and not eat as many sweets as she had before. Well she could start that after the start of term feast.

It was probably smarter to start it after a feast like that rather than committing to a plan with all the food in the world in front of her. So a box of Bettie Botts, two cauldron cakes obviously one wasn’t for her and bag of frizzy wizzies. She would probably change her mind about fifty times before she got to the front of the line.

Probably Bel should go find somewhere to sit, but she couldn't help but be distracted by the food trolley. It was wishful thinking on her part that there might be some lollies of the sort she was a fan of, the stuff from back home, but still, in her time in Scotland and England she had at least tried a few of the British sweets and come across a few that were okay. Chocolate Frogs were no Caramel Koalas or Billywiggles, or Bubbling Bunyips, but they were fun at the least.

She hadn't changed into her uniform yet, still wearing a baggy t-shirt that proclaimed 'sunset to sunrise beach party Coolangatta' tucked into the front of tatty denim shorts, along with worn hightop sneakers. She was also riding a pennyboard up the corridor, neatly dodging other students until she reached the line for the food trolley. Bel pulled up short,caught up her pennyboard, and tucked it under her arm, even while trying to crane her neck to examine what was on offer on the trolley itself.

The familiar faces in front of her were an instant distraction though, and the Australian girl smiled brightly at Juniper and Natalie - both in the year above her. She had made friends with boys in their year the previous term - Derf and Abey, and Cam and Liam, but hadn't quite managed to do so with the girls yet, though she'd seen Natalie at Liam's surfing comp of course. "Hi girls! Good Hols?"

Here's hoping her accent wasn't coming on too thick today.

She had only considered the food on the trolley for a moment until she noticed someone else come to the trolley. She was going to hurry and get out of her way, but then she heard the wheels of a pennyboard grow closer and that caught her attention more than the food. Natalie turned back just in time to see Bel halt just beside them. Natalie had decided that she liked Bel. She didn't know her much, but she was glad she and Liam had something in common and she seemed to increase Liam's confidence in his surfing hobby. So, she liked her.

Natalie, too had not changed into her robes and was still trying to cling onto the last of the summer weather by wearing a sundress. Her mother had told her not to because it was likely to rain, but her own argument was that they would be on the train the whole time so it didn't matter.

Good hols, though. Hols? Holidays? Yeah, she was gonna guess that. "Yeah, it was good," she replied with a small smile. She had spent a lot of time playing at the beach and watching Liam surf, so she had gotten a light tan. "What about you guys?" she asked, then looking at Juni to see how hers was, too.

As Anastasie was looking for a place to sit she found herself near the food trolley, she was mostly lost in thought about school. She was very excited to be going back to Hogwarts, she wanted to explore the castle more and learn as much as she can in one school year but she knew that she would have try and make some friends. Why was it so hard to make friends? For her, she knew it was because she didn't really know how to talk to people, being social towards people made her nervous.

The ginger lightly sighed as she looked at the food trolley, she wished she could go and talk to her brother but he was too busy in the Prefects' Compartment. Ana still couldn't wrap her head around her brother of all people being a Prefect, he had to have bribed one of the Professors or something. She wanted to know why him and not someone else? Ana's green eyes gazed upon the sweets on the trolley. She was in her own little world again.

Kimi was hungry and was wanting sweets but he had no idea what to get and saw a girl younger than him looking spaced out and said "You in a world of your own there" Kimi had seen the girl about school last term but he had never spoke to her before till now

Fifth year. It means OWLS. Stress. Study. A lot of study.

Sigh.

Yeah, she's not really forward to OWLs. The Slytherin was wondering around the train after she found herself a compartment. She was just about to go back to her compartment when she saw the Trolley lady. Jackpot! Alyce quickly made her way toward the food trolley. Hmmm...What should she get? Gummy bears? Pumpkin Pasties?

One could NEVER have enough chocolate frogs. Or so this Hufflepuff thought. And while he was fully stocked and ready for the train ride (and honestly the first few weeks of term to be honest), it felt wrong to make the trip to Hogwarts without swinging by the trolley and purchasing a few more. And maybe some other sweets as well. Sugarquills were starting to grow on him.

Ruffling his hair as he strolled - his incorrect but correct in essence badge pinned to his robes although somewhat hidden by his arm that had crossed over his front - the fourth year's attention was first caught by a group of familiar faces. Bright blues instantly fell on Natalie and his smile widened a bit. Even more so when he saw she was talking with Bel and Juniper too. "Hey," he chirped in greeting, raising his hand up high to draw some extra attention his way since there was a gathering crowd around the trolley by this point. "Juniper, Bel! Good summers I hope?" He'd written to Bel a few times but hadn't extended the same courtesy to Juniper and felt guilty about that. Giving his hair one last ruffle, he turned towards Natalie with a sheepish smile. "Did I...er...leave um... anything at your house when I stayed over?"

Actually...this was something he should probably be asking Liam. For reasons.

Too late now though.

Cheeks slightly flushed, Derf averted his eyes a moment and happened upon Anastasie talking to Kimi not too far off - and no, he had not put together that she was related to the crup-in-training named Flynn - and offered them both a wave. His eyes did linger on the Slytherin's hair for a time and while he couldn't properly see it's color...it was still beautiful. Also reminded him one the one and only Alice Lupin who he needed to write to again soon.

Catching himself staring fondly at the color - phoenix shade, you know, it was alluring! - his eyes wandered to...well...another phoenix haired girl in Alyce. He had never spoken to her properly before, but he WAS an admirer of her hair so...that was something. Right?

And now he was kinda staring at her hair. Oops.

Grrrrrrrr

Merlin's beard! Aaron was really craving some candy right now! He was so hungry, the poor boy should have eaten before leaving the house to come here. Because now, his only options was literally candy, and as much as the boy loved candy, that wasn't a meal. Yea, Aaron definitely did have a sweet tooth, but he also ate on the healthier side of things. Typically, he chose things like salads and pastas over meats. That's just how he was.

Upon meandering over to the food trolley, Aaron had spotted a girl who seemed to be contemplating on what to get. Whispering to her, he stated "If you aren't sure what to get, those pumpkin pasties look good right about now."

Law Enforcement
Default She's up for grabs!
Sunflower Girl | Xavier's Double | Dan's Love | Seriously Black

Amara never ate on time. Never. She'd always forget about food until her stomach would growl and she would go running in search of food. Now was one such time. Between the fuss over getting to the station and family dramas, she'd forgotten to grab some breakfast. It was her mother who reminded her to eat all the time, and today her mother had been busy with last minute packing. Just as every other time, she forgot about breakfast. And now her stomach was doing back flips in hunger. Tsk. Tsk.

Running around the train corridors in search of some kind of pantry added to her hunger pangs. Amara sighed in relief when she found the a food trolley at a distance. Her fuzzy head lighted up on seeing the colorful items on the display, wondering how tasty each of them would be.

As she moved closer she looked around for someone who managed the cart, probably someone elderly. She only spotted a few students nearby chatting among themselves oblivious to the wonder, the food trolley, in front of them. This is such a disgrace to that lovely cart! No one is even remotely interested in it! They aren't even buying! What a shame.

Amara's eyes sparkled. She moved slowly towards the trolley and casually traced her hands over the items. She turned and found the students still talking to each other, not giving her even a glance. She took hold of the cart gently, looked around once again before giving it a slight push.

C-R-E-E-C-H

It was a rather low growl. Amara immediately took her hands off the cart and took a few steps back. She surveyed the surroundings. The few people at the distance were still engrossed in their conversations. Woah, they must have had one hell of a vacation! Or they were just that ignorant. Or was she that good? Hehe

Satisfied that she was unnoticed and hoping no one would, Amara slowly and stealthily pushed the cart. Inch by inch, away from this ignorant crowd and towards the front cars side. Where food of this kind will be worshiped. Given it's rightful place in history.

Food was the essence of any train ride, so it was little surprise that Skylar was up by the trolley, recalling some fond memories on previous train rides. Mindless humming along the corridor towards the trolley, it was at the sound of the creech that she took note of where she was going.

No, no rather WHO was going?

UH ....... She wasn't a Prefect, but she was technically a student leader, even if her primary focus was on quidditch and seeing a TINY girl moving the cart - actually, she almost missed seeing the girl moving the cart. But why was no one else paying attention to it? Were they just standing on lines just because they liked standing on lines??

Quickly thinking, she went and put her foot on the front wheel so she wouldn't be able to push anymore. Because she wasn't the trolley lady. Had a first year managed to knock out the trolley lady? Or the lady had gone to the loo?

"Uh, the lady will be back shortly. No need to steal." She was friends with the Head Boy and Head Girl if this small child wouldn't listen and quit trying to steal the cart.

By the time Juni had gotten to where the end of the line was the line had gotten longer. She didn’t notice anyone who was in line right away. She was busy counting her money, to see how much she had.

It wasn’t until she heard the sound of wheels somewhere behind her that she realized that someone had gotten behind her. She slipped her money back into her pocket. As she turned around to see Bel behind her as well as Nat, Liam’s twin sister. This wasn’t going to be awkward right? Zita was her friend too. Honestly she was just hoping to stay out of the whole thing anyway. Nat seemed okay though like Bel she didn’t have much interaction with the girls. ”Mine was great. Too short though.” With a little grin. It has seemed to fly by this summer.

That was when Derf joined them. Suddenly Juni started to feel bad. She has almost forgotten how good of friends her and Derf used to be.”Hey Derf. Yeah one of the best. How was yours?” It was sad how friendships drifted as you got older. She decided that she wasn’t going to let that happen to them.

O_O

What do he say again? She glanced over at the others and held a giggle in. Okayyy. She did not want to know.

Bright blues instantly fell on Natalie and his smile widened a bit. Even more so when he saw she was talking with Bel and Juniper too. "Hey," he chirped in greeting, raising his hand up high to draw some extra attention his way since there was a gathering crowd around the trolley by this point. "Juniper, Bel! Good summers I hope?" He'd written to Bel a few times but hadn't extended the same courtesy to Juniper and felt guilty about that. Giving his hair one last ruffle, he turned towards Natalie with a sheepish smile. "Did I...er...leave um... anything at your house when I stayed over?"

Actually...this was something he should probably be asking Liam. For reasons.

Too late now though.

Cheeks slightly flushed, Derf averted his eyes a moment and happened upon Anastasie talking to Kimi not too far off - and no, he had not put together that she was related to the crup-in-training named Flynn - and offered them both a wave. His eyes did linger on the Slytherin's hair for a time and while he couldn't properly see it's color...it was still beautiful. Also reminded him one the one and only Alice Lupin who he needed to write to again soon.

Catching himself staring fondly at the color - phoenix shade, you know, it was alluring! - his eyes wandered to...well...another phoenix haired girl in Alyce. He had never spoken to her properly before, but he WAS an admirer of her hair so...that was something. Right?

And now he was kinda staring at her hair. Oops.

Natalie turned back just in time to see Bel halt just beside them. Natalie had decided that she liked Bel. She didn't know her much, but she was glad she and Liam had something in common and she seemed to increase Liam's confidence in his surfing hobby. So, she liked her.

Natalie, too had not changed into her robes and was still trying to cling onto the last of the summer weather by wearing a sundress. Her mother had told her not to because it was likely to rain, but her own argument was that they would be on the train the whole time so it didn't matter.

Good hols, though. Hols? Holidays? Yeah, she was gonna guess that. "Yeah, it was good," she replied with a small smile. She had spent a lot of time playing at the beach and watching Liam surf, so she had gotten a light tan. "What about you guys?" she asked, then looking at Juni to see how hers was, too.

By the time Juni had gotten to where the end of the line was the line had gotten longer. She didn’t notice anyone who was in line right away. She was busy counting her money, to see how much she had.

It wasn’t until she heard the sound of wheels somewhere behind her that she realized that someone had gotten behind her. She slipped her money back into her pocket. As she turned around to see Bel behind her as well as Nat, Liam’s twin sister. This wasn’t going to be awkward right? Zita was her friend too. Honestly she was just hoping to stay out of the whole thing anyway. Nat seemed okay though like Bel she didn’t have much interaction with the girls. ”Mine was great. Too short though.” With a little grin. It has seemed to fly by this summer.

That was when Derf joined them. Suddenly Juni started to feel bad. She has almost forgotten how good of friends her and Derf used to be.”Hey Derf. Yeah one of the best.

As much as Bel obviously was more focused on her own very excellent, very short, very over, summer, she was incredibly pleased to hear that Juni and Nat also had good summer hols, and had no particular reason to believe they'd say so but it not actually be true.

"Its always too short!" She agreed very much with Juni there, and smiled excitedly at Nat. She knew at least part of the other girl's good summer, if it was about Liam and the surfing and generally spending time on the beach. Wasn't that ALWAYS the best? She opened her mouth again to speak just as Derfael showed up.

"Oh, Hi D! Hi!" What was he looking at? Anyway, she was about to interrupt his staring-at-who-even-knew-what with a hug. A quick hug which was more of an exuberant squish right when he was asking if he'd left something with Nat? "You stayed with Nat and Liam too? Isn't their house cool? Its right on the beach, right where ALL houses should be." So was her own, of course, but credit where credit was due right? She herself hadn't stayed over, but had spent long days on said beach for surfing reasons. Practice made perfect and also practice was fun.

Hopefully they were nearly at the front of the queue now...

C-R-E-E-C-H

It was a rather low growl. Amara immediately took her hands off the cart and took a few steps back. She surveyed the surroundings. The few people at the distance were still engrossed in their conversations. Woah, they must have had one hell of a vacation! Or they were just that ignorant. Or was she that good? Hehe

Satisfied that she was unnoticed and hoping no one would, Amara slowly and stealthily pushed the cart. Inch by inch, away from this ignorant crowd and towards the front cars side. Where food of this kind will be worshiped. Given it's rightful place in history.
Wait!

"Hey!" Bel protested, not unkindly, when she heard and saw the attempted trolley cart theft. Where the trolley lady had suddenly snuck off to Bel had no idea, but even trolley ladies had bladders to contend with, and being old and everything probably meant hers needed frequent attention, so Bel could forgive the sudden absence. "We're all queuing here, you have to get in line! I thought this country invented lining up for stuff?" Baffling to a degree. Honestly Bel was pretty sure she'd seen queues in the UK for nothing, where people just joined them because they were queues and it was in their make up to do so.

And thankfully one of the older girls was intervening with strength of foot and also with an air of authority that Bel wasn't particularly familiar with but curious about.

She really didn't want to be queuing for nothing, even if it was in good company. Bel wanted her turn and wanted everyone to get their fair turn. So she shifted her pennyboard to under her other arm and watched to see what the first year would do next.

It was finally Jonas' last year at Hogwarts. Was he excited? Yes, he would finally be graduating this year. He must be more excited because he hadn't made any friends if at all. He looked around the train but could not find Zoryn yet. She was his only friend through the school year. Well, as close a friend as he could get. He just shrugged and stood in line behind the others.

Zarina finally made it on the train. She narrowly missed it by a minute because of her mother. She missed breakfast and was starving. She found the food trolley after dropping off her luggage. Her stomach was rumbling and was wondering what she was in the mood for. She pondered and this slytherin thought a pumpkin pasty sounded delicious. She missed these treats during the summer because all she had was muggle food.

As Zarina looked around she noticed some girls seemed to be around the same age and she nodded to all of them as she waited on line. She couldn't believe she was starting her fourth year.

Was it because her hair look weird? No. She made sure her hair looked good before she board the train earlier.

"Is there something in my hair?" Please don't be a gum. That would be a nightmare.

Yea, Aaron definitely did have a sweet tooth, but he also ate on the healthier side of things. Typically, he chose things like salads and pastas over meats. That's just how he was.

Upon meandering over to the food trolley, Aaron had spotted a girl who seemed to be contemplating on what to get. Whispering to her, he stated "If you aren't sure what to get, those pumpkin pasties look good right about now."
She was trying to figure out what's wrong with her hair when someone was whispering to her to get the pumpkin pasties. Oh, so he noticed her dilemma. "Hmmm...I think you're right. Those pumpkin pasties look really good." It's decided she's going to buy that pumpkin pasties and maybe a few licorice wands for later. "First year?" Because he looked like one. Just look how small he's. Was she that little when she's a firstie? Hmm...

It was her mother who reminded her to eat all the time, and today her mother had been busy with last minute packing. Just as every other time, she forgot about breakfast. And now her stomach was doing back flips in hunger. Tsk. Tsk.

Running around the train corridors in search of some kind of pantry added to her hunger pangs. Amara sighed in relief when she found the a food trolley at a distance. Her fuzzy head lighted up on seeing the colorful items on the display, wondering how tasty each of them would be.

As she moved closer she looked around for someone who managed the cart, probably someone elderly. She only spotted a few students nearby chatting among themselves oblivious to the wonder, the food trolley, in front of them. This is such a disgrace to that lovely cart! No one is even remotely interested in it! They aren't even buying! What a shame.

Amara's eyes sparkled. She moved slowly towards the trolley and casually traced her hands over the items. She turned and found the students still talking to each other, not giving her even a glance. She took hold of the cart gently, looked around once again before giving it a slight push.

No, no rather WHO was going?

UH ....... She wasn't a Prefect, but she was technically a student leader, even if her primary focus was on quidditch and seeing a TINY girl moving the cart - actually, she almost missed seeing the girl moving the cart. But why was no one else paying attention to it? Were they just standing on lines just because they liked standing on lines??

Quickly thinking, she went and put her foot on the front wheel so she wouldn't be able to push anymore. Because she wasn't the trolley lady. Had a first year managed to knock out the trolley lady? Or the lady had gone to the loo?

"Uh, the lady will be back shortly. No need to steal." She was friends with the Head Boy and Head Girl if this small child wouldn't listen and quit trying to steal the cart.

Alyce nodded her head when a younger girl told the thief off. "If you don't have any money just say so, don't steal the cart." Who's this kid anyway? And thank Merlin for Skylar. Yes, you tell her Skylar!

It wasn’t that she needed snacks. In all honesty, Stasya probably had enough to last her for several train rides, even given the fact that some of her stash was actually for Dobby and Albus. She still felt like it was practically a tradition to track down the trolley and spend some money just because. Like she was funding the trolley lady or something, and she’d set off to do just that almost as soon as she’d gotten her squirrel and puffskein established in a compartment. They’d be safe enough, and she figured if anything Emmeline would find them while she was on her trolley mission. Or maybe Rylee, the little firstie she’d decided she was going to sort of adopt when she’d met her at Flourish and Blotts. She’d promised her she could meet her pets anyway. Or Derf would find the compartment. Either way, she hadn’t figured she’d be away long enough for the two small creatures to get into too much trouble. She’d instructed Dobby not to leave, anyway, and if she’d been able to lock the compartment door she would have.

As she’d arrived at the trolley, she’d seen a group waiting and she’d quietly slipped amongst the group. Not hiding by any means. The extra two inches she’d grown since last term pretty much guaranteed that, but she’d quickly realized a few things. Besides Skylar, another older Slytherin girl (Alyce) and the boy she’d seen haunting Zoryn’s presence the past couple terms, it was mostly fourth years. Mostly. Including one she’d already thought about, and she’d waved in Derf’s direction moments before she’d heard the discussion over theft of the trolley.

“Who’s trying to steal the trolley?” That was just silly. Most people’d be willing to help if someone didn’t have the money. She’d almost be willing to make a bet that the trolley lady would work out a deal too, except she seemed to be absent for the moment.

Ahhh, food glorious food! Elliott was simply starving, she hadn't eaten a bite since breakfast yesterday. She was far too nervous to eat much at all, she'd even skipped dinner and that was her favourite meal ever. But now she had decided that, actually, she should probably try to eat a little something. Her mother had packed her some sandwiches and a few nibbles for the journey but Ellie didn't really want them. She would save those for later.

Walking toward the food trolley, she folded her arms across her chest as she shuffled through the crowd. And when mention of the trolley being stolen entered her ears, she furrowed her brows in confusion. Who would want to steal a trolley full of food? With a shrug, she waited at the back for her turn. She knew better than to push to the front, that wouldn't do her any favours. So instead, she remained where she stood watching the situation in front of her. And if she didn't get anything to eat, then so be it.

Soon, another person was joining them and Natalie was VERY happy to see that it was her best friend, Derf. His hair looked extra fluffy today and he looked very good in his Hufflepuff robes. "Hi, Derf." Her smile widened just as his did when their eyes met. She was still a little jealous that he was made prefect AND a little upset that that meant they couldn't sit together on the train, but all in all, she was very happy for him AND proud.

As for Juni... Natalie didn't hate her. But Natalie DID hate her friend, Zita, therefore she wasn't crazy about Juni, but they were dormmates, so she was trying to keep the peace with her. Zita, however? Nah, she didn't deserve peace.

Natalie tilted her head at Derf's question and thought about it. Had she found anything that was his after he spent the night? "Are you missing something? I'll have to ask Liam..." Maybe he knew of something that was left behind. She appreciated Bel's excitement over staying at their house. She thought it was pretty cool, too.

And then all of the sudden... there were a thousand people in the corridor and.. was someone trying to steal the trolley? She was just about to buy some sweets... Natalie wasn't able to focus on the sweets as much because it had suddenly grown very crowded and very loud and, uhhh.... she just wanted to go sit down now. Too many people.

Somewhere between napping and running around in the excitement, Shera had gotten absurdly hungry and managed to make her way towards the food trolley. There were so many people in line though! She pouted slightly, feeling her stomach grumble.

Note to self, bring your own food next year. Just in case.

"Hey," she said to the girl in front of her in the line, hoping that she could both meet someone new and distract herself from how hungry she was. Shera probably looked a mess at this point, with curly bed hair that liked to stick up on weird angles. Still, all things considered she still managed to give the other girl a bright smile. "I'm Shera, what's your name?"

Smiling up at the girl, Aaron had replied "Yep! What year are you going into? My name is Aaron by the way."

It was after saying that, Aaron had actually taken notice to everything that was happening at the food cart. Was that...was that Amara that was trying to take...not take, steal, stuff from the trolley? Whaaaaaaaat!?!? How could she! And it appeared to be that the others in line weren't too happy with her either. Aaron thought she would have known better than that. Tsk, tsk, tsk. She should be ashamed of herself. But then again, as her friend, the firstie couldn't just let everyone in the line start to gang up on her in a sense, although she was in the wrong for what she was trying to do.

Casually walking over to Amara, he pulled her a bit off to the side and whispered "Amara! What do you think you're doing! You can't just be stealing things! How would Z feel right now if she were here?" She then got that judgmental, death look from Aaron. Ya know, the one that parent's give to their kids a lot when they find out they did something they weren't supposed to? Yea...that one.

As Zarina looked around she noticed some girls seemed to be around the same age and she nodded to all of them as she waited on line. She couldn't believe she was starting her fourth year.
Mel wasn’t exactly sure what she wanted…maybe food wasn’t the answer? The perplexing peculiarity of that was…mystifying. Melbourne herself was doubting the importance of food.

Food was important.

Wasn’t it what she always seemed to want?...Well…sometimes, but right now she felt hollow. Looking up she watched the girl in front of her as she waited in line. ”nothing beats these treats eh?” she asked with a kind smile.

Sure, she’d met Zarina a few times but she wasn’t going to assume that she remembered her or anything. Right now she was just making small talk to avoid the numbness that came with seventh year.

No, no rather WHO was going?

UH ....... She wasn't a Prefect, but she was technically a student leader, even if her primary focus was on quidditch and seeing a TINY girl moving the cart - actually, she almost missed seeing the girl moving the cart. But why was no one else paying attention to it? Were they just standing on lines just because they liked standing on lines??

Quickly thinking, she went and put her foot on the front wheel so she wouldn't be able to push anymore. Because she wasn't the trolley lady. Had a first year managed to knock out the trolley lady? Or the lady had gone to the loo?

"Uh, the lady will be back shortly. No need to steal." She was friends with the Head Boy and Head Girl if this small child wouldn't listen and quit trying to steal the cart.

"We're all queuing here, you have to get in line! I thought this country invented lining up for stuff?" Baffling to a degree. Honestly Bel was pretty sure she'd seen queues in the UK for nothing, where people just joined them because they were queues and it was in their make up to do so.

And thankfully one of the older girls was intervening with strength of foot and also with an air of authority that Bel wasn't particularly familiar with but curious about.

She really didn't want to be queuing for nothing, even if it was in good company. Bel wanted her turn and wanted everyone to get their fair turn. So she shifted her pennyboard to under her other arm and watched to see what the first year would do next.

She was waiting for her turn when she heard someone was moving the trolley. At first she thought it's the trolley lady trying to move her cart but it wasn't it's a THIEF! Alyce nodded her head when a younger girl told the thief off. "If you don't have any money just say so, don't steal the cart." Who's this kid anyway? And thank Merlin for Skylar. Yes, you tell her Skylar!

It was after saying that, Aaron had actually taken notice to everything that was happening at the food cart. Was that...was that Amara that was trying to take...not take, steal, stuff from the trolley? Whaaaaaaaat!?!? How could she! And it appeared to be that the others in line weren't too happy with her either. Aaron thought she would have known better than that. Tsk, tsk, tsk. She should be ashamed of herself. But then again, as her friend, the firstie couldn't just let everyone in the line start to gang up on her in a sense, although she was in the wrong for what she was trying to do.

Casually walking over to Amara, he pulled her a bit off to the side and whispered "Amara! What do you think you're doing! You can't just be stealing things! How would Z feel right now if she were here?" She then got that judgmental, death look from Aaron. Ya know, the one that parent's give to their kids a lot when they find out they did something they weren't supposed to? Yea...that one.


She'd just moved a few feet when suddenly the cart jerked. As if she'd appeared out of thin air, a bigger girl stood there, her foot lodged under the front cart wheel.

Amara gave her a puzzled look and when she heard the older girl's accusation, she was annoyed. Who was she? Who does she think she is, calling her a thief? Amara let of an angry grunt. Before she could respond to the girl, another called to her. Something about people in lines. Standing in lines for what? And then a bunch of people appeared out of no where.

WHERE DID ALL THESE PEOPLE COME FROM ? ? ? ?

Amara was starting to get tensed and angry, everyone was just looking at her, whispering and giving her disapproving looks. One of them even asked her to stop stealing. Now that's what everyone is thinking. Because of this girl!


She was nudged and pulled aside by a tiny figure. Her angry little hands were ready to push away the person but then she saw it was Aaron. The boy from the bookstore. And even he was telling her not to steal. He was giving her a stern look and she knew she didn't deserve it. She couldn't believe what was happening. "I didn't--" she freed herself from his hold. "--and you just believed , you just.. assumed..." She moved away from him. She was hurt. Hurt that Aaron didn't give her the benefit of doubt. Sure they had just met recently and weren't thickest of friends but Amara liked him. He seemed cheerful and friendly at F&B. And he was the first boy she'd met from Hogwarts. They were going to be friends! That's what he'd said. Her mouth twisted, her face now had a downcast expression.

All because of the big girl! She started it. She glared at the girl in front of her. "I--wasn't-- stealing!" she said aloud for everyone to hear. "And it isn't up to you to judge!" Who were they, just branding her as thief!

"Would anyone steal the entire cart? Do you even think?" she shot in the general direction of the accusing crowd. That was thick, even for a little person and this girl looked important. So did the other big girl who asked her not to steal. What's up with these girls? And all these people? If I did want to steal, won't I just take a few pieces and run away?

She still felt like it was practically a tradition to track down the trolley and spend some money just because. Like she was funding the trolley lady or something, and she’d set off to do just that almost as soon as she’d gotten her squirrel and puffskein established in a compartment. They’d be safe enough, and she figured if anything Emmeline would find them while she was on her trolley mission. Or maybe Rylee, the little firstie she’d decided she was going to sort of adopt when she’d met her at Flourish and Blotts. She’d promised her she could meet her pets anyway. Or Derf would find the compartment. Either way, she hadn’t figured she’d be away long enough for the two small creatures to get into too much trouble. She’d instructed Dobby not to leave, anyway, and if she’d been able to lock the compartment door she would have.

As she’d arrived at the trolley, she’d seen a group waiting and she’d quietly slipped amongst the group. Not hiding by any means. The extra two inches she’d grown since last term pretty much guaranteed that, but she’d quickly realized a few things. Besides Skylar, another older Slytherin girl (Alyce) and the boy she’d seen haunting Zoryn’s presence the past couple terms, it was mostly fourth years. Mostly. Including one she’d already thought about, and she’d waved in Derf’s direction moments before she’d heard the discussion over theft of the trolley.

“Who’s trying to steal the trolley?” That was just silly. Most people’d be willing to help if someone didn’t have the money. She’d almost be willing to make a bet that the trolley lady would work out a deal too, except she seemed to be absent for the moment.

Apparently her foot had done the trick in preventing the cart from moving further away and there was all kinds of befuddled looks from people. Also, why was the girl trying to act all innocent in this??? She was the one who had started with pushing the trolley in the first place and it wasn't as if it had been so discreet that no one noticed.

Hearing comments about if you didn't have any money, no need to steal the cart, Skylar turned at appreciative nods of agreement toward Alyce and others who were intervening. Along with another fellow first year (Aaron) who had joined her and Hattie's compartment before, and apparently knew the trolley thief.

Who got angry?

"Well then, why were you attempting to roll it away from everyone standing on queue??" Basically she couldn't deny it. She was caught red-handed. There were witnesses. Merlin, was this what kids did these days??
