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.
Summer vacation went by in a jiffy and now Cole was back on the train again to school with his trunk full of clothes and books. It was going to be his last year. It was very scary to fathom that in a few month's he wouldn't have Hogwarts to got to anymore. It'd be so weird and nerve-wrecking. Fighting the urge to bite on his nails Cole went out into the corridor to find the trolley lady with his faithful and big gray cat Oscar by his side. Some candy would definitley cheer Cole up and distract the blond haired boy from thinking about things that weren't yet a reality. He had a whole year to get through first.
Prancing by his owner's side Oscar was sniffing the air and looking for stray rats or something else tasty to bite his teeth into or lick at. Oscar was a friendly big cat that liked cuddles and scratches but he didn't like other cats especially if they looked like they we're going to attack his owner. He loved Cole.
Ashley walked up to the trolley to find some chocolate frogs. She had never seen one or had one before but she knew they were good. Her cat, Luna, was curled in her arms napping. She petted her absentmindedly, lost in her own thoughts. She had seen the boy in front of her before, at the bookstore. His name was Cole and he was a seventh year, she remembered. He probably wasn't going to notice her. Apparently he had a cat too. That wasn't strange. Almost everyone had a cat around here. She started reading from Common Magical Ailments and Afflictions, which she had in her train bag, with her self-shuffling playing cards and cat toys and... other stuff. It wasn't exactly a school book, but Ashley found it very interesting. Plus, she couldn't exactly get in trouble for extra reading, especially if it was helpful reading. It was kinda hard to get candy and read and think and pet a cat at the same time, but she was practically an expert multitasker.

Freedom.
This is definitely what it felt like to no longer be grounded. Well, technically, she was still grounded but her mum couldn't exactly enforce it on the train to Hogwarts or at school really. And given, Juliette had broken the whole terms of being grounded several times but all for good reason. The most brutal thing was probably the lack of jelly slugs. Unable to go to Diagon Alley freely, Juliette only had what she had at home... which was why she was here. The lioness had practically leapt from her seat in one of the compartments when she heard the familiar voice of the trolley lady.
Sugar deprived, Juliette was not fond of waiting. "Hey," she said, tapping on the younger girl's shoulder. She spotted the feline that Ashley had in her arms and almost reached out her hand and pet the cutie... but there was a time and place for that. Namely, after she had acquired the sweets and in her compartment. Or this girl's. Juliette wasn't exactly attached to where she was sitting. "It's your turn. Also, can I pet your cat?" Merlin, what was that girl even reading? She tried to peer over at the text. "You probably won't need that for classes," she added.
Who even read when it wasn't mandatory?

"Thanks," Ashley said, looking up. She didn't even notice that it was her turn. She bought some chocolate frogs. "Sure you can pet Luna. And I know I don't need to read this book and it's not on the list, but I want to. It's about magical healing and I find it fascinating. Maybe when I grow up I will be a healer. Or someone who takes care of animals. Or plants. Or a lifeguard. What do you like to do?" Ashley was interested in a lot of different subjects. But healing was her favorite. She had the entire healing section at Flourish and Blotts in her trunk, but she wasn't about to say that out loud. She tore her thoughts away from healing, and the beach, and her muggle best friend, and her cat, and candy, and what was a kneazle, and a lot of other stuff. She tried to sort-of continue the conversation. "Also, I'm Ashley. Who are you?"

Heath had just settled into a compartment when he heard the trolley witch's voice. Now seemed like as good a time as any to buy his snacks for the long trip… and to give Rey a chance to stretch her legs a bit before she had to go back into her carrier. As he neared the trolley, he saw several other people already there. He recognized Cole and Ashley from their encounter in Flourish and Blotts over the summer, but he didn't know the other girl (Juliette). asdfjkl!!! Too many people! His anxiety was already spiking. The more people there were, the harder it was for him to become something they'd all like. Maybe he should just go and get his candy later…
No, he reminded himself. Even a bad impression is better than making no impression at all. Nearly fading from existence last term had taught him that! "Erm… hi," he said quietly, running a hand through his hair. As if on cue, Rey punctuated his words with a meep as she flopped on the floor in front of him. He smiled a little. Classic Rey… that cat had never met a stranger!
As Heath watched Rey wiggling, he noticed another, much bigger cat beside Cole. "Hi, kitty," he whispered. His eyes shifted from the cat to its owner as he asked, "What's your cat's name?"
Rey the scavenger cat trotted alongside her hooman, on the hunt for some new friends. What she lacked in size, she made up for in personality! Everybody, human or creature, was a potential playmate for the tiny gray-striped cat. Her big blue eyes blinked as she looked at the other occupants. There were several other hoomans, one of which (Ashley) had a kitteh too, and - Ooh! There's a big fluffeh kitteh (Oscar)! Hiiiiii, other kittehs! Hiiiiii, hoomans! Rey flopped onto her back with a friendly meep. Who wants to pet me?

Juliette happily reached over to pet the lovely feline. "You're so cute..." Juli crooned at the cat, almost completely distracted from what the girl was saying and purchasing some sweets. She idly stroked the cat's head. Merlin, everyone thought Juli talked a lot but they really needed to hear all this kid just said. She looked up from the beautiful creature and smirked at the girl. "Well my best friend and I do have plans for world domination." Which could still happen even if Juli was grounded. "What's a lifeguard?" Cause that sounded interesting. "Do you like... save people's lives or something like an Auror? My mum takes care of creatures at home and that's an awful lot of fun." Juliette herself? Well her pet project over the summer was trying to take care of her Wiggentree and cultivate a small army of bowtruckles. They were absolutely adorable.
She purchased a lot some jelly slugs from the trolley lady and put all but one in her bag. [b]"I'm Juliette. Gryffindor. Fourth Year. Basically the epitomy of awesometasticalness,"[b] she replied, deciding to eat one of the jelly slugs now. "I haven't seen you around before but it's a big school, are you like a second year or new or something?"
And it just seemed like everyone had a cat didn't they? Or a feline of sorts. And of these could be kneazles after all... if one of the two gentlemen would just let her inspect them. She recognized one of them (Cole) from around the common room. Juliette was pretty sure he was a Gryffindor. But there were also a million and one twins at the school so for all she knew this was a doppleganger of the dude in her house. The other boy (Heath), with the ever so fantastic hair, said hi. Juliette raised her hand and gave a little wave, the other was preoccupied with holding her jelly slug... of which she took another bite. "Sup?" Then she saw the nice hair boy's feline familiar roll over.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWH.
"Can I pet her?" Juliette asked, eyes wide. She had already bent down to the floor. She was going to pet the kitty (Rey) regardless of what anyone told her. "Oh you're a pretty girl aren't ya? Soooooo beautiful and lovely and smart and cute..."
Yes. Juliette could get used to this life - jelly slugs and cats. But speaking of cats... and the number of them... she looked up from her spot on the floor at her current company. "Was there a memo I missed or something? Was I supposed to bring a kneazle?" Cause she didn't. Owl? Check obviously. But a cat? Nope.

"Was there a memo I missed or something? Was I supposed to bring a kneazle?" Cause she didn't. Owl? Check obviously. But a cat? Nope.
"Cool," Ashley said. Just about everyone here seemed to 'have plans for world domination' apparently. coolcoolcool. "A lifeguard is for when you're drowning at the beach and then they rescue you with their surfboards. No magic is even involved, but healing spells would probably be helpful. Also memory charms for when a bunch of muggles see you doing healing spells." She wasn't sure if the girl knew what a surfboard even was. "I'm Ashley. I'm a first year. I'm the epitome of multitasking. And I doubt there was a memo, because I don't have one, but that could just be because I'm a muggleborn... were you joking? Because that's impossible because they only sell kneazles to older kids." She was a very literal person. "What's a kneazle?" she asked curiously.
Ashley walked up to the trolley to find some chocolate frogs. She had never seen one or had one before but she knew they were good. Her cat, Luna, was curled in her arms napping. She petted her absentmindedly, lost in her own thoughts. She had seen the boy in front of her before, at the bookstore. His name was Cole and he was a seventh year, she remembered.

It was kinda hard to get candy and read and think and pet a cat at the same time, but she was practically an expert multitasker.

Cole was trying to decide on what to buy from the delicious trolley treats when Oscar’s scratching up against his jeans leg alerted him to the arrival of another student. Glancing over his shoulder, he recognized the girl from the book shop immediately as well as the kitten in her arms. Smiling a little he greeted. "Hi Ashley! Cute kitten." Reaching down to scratch Oscar between the ears he hoped he was going to keep his cool. Oscar got anxious around other cats. Turning his attention back to the trolley he ended up buying two packs of chocolate frogs as well as some pumpkin pasties and jelly slugs.
Cole had just stuffed everything down into his jacket pockets and moved to the side to let Ashley get her treats when another girl with dark hair and glasses showed up and got talking with Ashley practically ignoring him and his cats presence. Having a sister he knew that she didn’t do it to be mean. Some just didn’t take in the rest of the surrounding until they were done looking at what was in front of them. When she finally turned her eyes on him, he recognized her from the common room. "Hi Juliette. Did you have a good summer?" Cole greeted. He was considering going back to his compartment to read his new quidditch magazine when Heath showed up with a cat in tow. "Hi Heath!" he waved over to the other boy. "My cat’s name is Oscar. What’s yours?"
Oscar was content, sitting on the floor and scratching up against Cole’s jeans legs. The denim smelled good. The kitten in the girl’s arms he ignored. It wasn’t interesting. When another cat showed up with another boy Oscar stood up in all his big gray glory to eye the other cat out. Was it a friend or foe? At the meep and backroll from the other cat Oscar let out a hiss and moved closer to Cole's side.

A hangry Whitney was a Whitney that no one wanted to be around. Unfortunately, that was exactly the state that she was currently in (otherwise why would she be at the food trolley?). Also unfortunate? There was a crowd in front of the food trolley. With cats. Normally, she didn't mind either one (after all, it was what happened when you stuck a bunch of teenagers in one place). But this crowd seemed completely oblivious to the fact that they were BLOCKING THE WAY TO FOOD. Not cool. Not cool at all. In fact, it was down right rude. So, after a couple of minutes of sighing inpatiently, this happened.
"Excuse me, pardon me," *nudge nudge* "coming through," *push shove* "YOU AND YOUR CATS ARE BLOCKING THE FOOD!" More pushing and at last she was at the trolley. Finally.

"You are being terribly rude, you know that, right?" she said to the older girl, wearing the same unimpressed look she had when she had boarded the train and her dad had tried to look emotional for her mother's sake.

So...his first attempt at compartment finding for the term had NOT gone well and he had not even been meaning to look for one in the first place. Bearing a light scratch on the cheek and bite marks to the nose, it would seem as though the sixth year had been attacked by a cat or kneazle - not unlike those currently occupying the space around the food trolley of all places - but that was...not the case.
At all.
Go figure.
Sort of tip toe leaping about, huzzah for nimble feet thanks to Seeker training and...er...his own personal pursuits...he sort of offered the cat owners weak smiles before happening upon a situation involving two blondes. Yikes.
"Hey hey heeeeeeey...looking like we've got a real CATastrophe on our hands here, am I right?" No one needed to say anything. Josh was ready to smack himself in the forehead and disappear within his robes for the stupidity that had just come out of his mouth. His Boston accent likely only made matters worse - or spared him since sometimes the foreign accent made him appear more endearing and therefore less likely to be spat at for being, well, a bit of a low key high key mess. "It's a crowded corridor and we all want something off the trolley...but...er...maybe the cat people could go find somewhere to sit together? They probably will get sick eating something off the trolley if they get their paws on it."
Like chocolate. Chocolate was bad for cats, wasn't it? Or...was that just...dogs?
Care of Magical Creatures was not exactly a strength over here.

"Hi Cole. Hi Heath. Nice cats," Ashley said politely. She turned to leave and then was violently pushed out of the way by a very angry someone. She rolled her eyes. She was going back to her compartment. No need to be rude. Unfortunately, there was now a scene. coolcoolcool. She was about to panic when she heard a pretty terrible joke. A cat-astrophe? Really? She stifled a laugh for the sake of the kid who said it. "I'm sure we could go to a compartment," she said, attempting to be polite. "In fact, I was already on my way to a compartment." When she got pushed. Oops. That came out a bit passive-aggressively. She stuffed her annoyance back down and tried to look as cooperative as possible. She edged around the group of people and started walking in the general direction that she was supposed to be going.
Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Heath nodded in reply to the girl’s (Juliette) greeting, smiling slightly as she asked to pet Rey. “Sure,” he said. “She loves being petted!” Good thing I said yes, he thought to himself as he noticed the girl already bending down. He watched, beaming like a proud cat dad as Rey purred and nuzzled against the girl, clearly loving the attention. Well, this was going better than he expected! The unfamiliar girl seemed to like Rey, so maybe she’d tolerate him too. “Her name is Rey, by the way; mine’s Heath.”
He almost laughed at the mention of a memo to bring kneazles but stopped himself just in time. He didn’t usually laugh or joke around with people, especially those he didn’t know well. It would be too weird! Yes, we’ve decided to throw a cat party in front of the trolley; the price of admission is one cat or kneazle, he thought, but he wouldn’t dare say that out loud. Even if he would, he was too distracted by Ashley’s question. He blinked, his eyes shifting from the girl (Juliette) to Cole with a questioning look. Were they going to tell her or should he do it?
Soon all of Heath’s attention was on the big cat beside Cole, Oscar. “That’s a nice name,” he said. For a split second, he wondered if that cat might have been named after Oscar Wilde, but that seemed unlikely. He didn’t think many people at Hogwarts appreciated muggle authors. “Hello, Oscar,” he greeted the cat. “You’re such a big pretty boy…” He was going to ask if it was okay to pet him, but the hissing told him it wasn’t. Strange… he was usually so good with creatures! He wondered what he did wrong.
Impatient sighs and an unexpected voice distracted Heath before he could ask. His dark head turned in the direction of the sound to see a girl (Whitney) coming through. If she had stopped at that, he would’ve scooped Rey up, apologized, and moved aside, but no. Apparently this one had just had to announce they were in the way with all the tact of a rampaging rancor. Cue the annoyed eye roll. Something about this girl reminded him of the bullies he knew in muggle school… the type of people who got their way by being pushy and loud. Normally he would hide his anger and comply to avoid trouble, but he was tired of bowing down to loud, tactless people! Just once he’d like to teach them a lesson!
He was about to inform the loud girl that he would not stand aside until she asked politely, as in without shoving or shouting, but more people (Olivia and Joshua) had showed up. Great, just what he needed. Before he could react to them, he saw that Ashley got pushed. Okay, that tore it! “Oh, my! I’m sooo sorry,” he said to the mean girl (Whitney), his voice as hard and icy as the glare he fixed on her. “I had no idea your sweets were so important to you that you’d shove a first year to get them!” All of this was pure sarcasm, just in case his tone didn’t give it away. “Merlin, you’re pathetic! I hope you’re pleased with yourself,” he whispered, brushing roughly past her as he started walking in the opposite direction, only looking back long enough to make sure Rey was following. He’d get his candy later… or do without. Right now he was too angry to eat!

Surf...board... it took Juliette a couple of seconds to remember what Ronan had told her about surfing and surfboards. Which immediately made her think about Brie and cheese - totally not the point. "You wanna have a muggle job but do magic?" Juliette asked Ashley, totally confused. Well that was rather... interesting. And when the girl said she was a muggleborn things clicked in her head. Ah. Things made sense now. "Kneazles are adorable." Which didn't answer Ashley's question. She was going to say more on it but she wasn't a professor was she? Nope.
She looked up from her spot on the ground at Cole and then looked at his cute lil cat... who was hissing? Poor bb. "Summer was..." Good? Terrible? It had definitely been a packed summer. "Eventful." she put a smile on her face, thinking back on the unfortunate events at Knockturn Alley and trying her best to keep the smile on. "I hope your summer was good."
Juliette was content to continue sitting on the floor petting the cat named Rey, apparently. "Beautiful name for a beautiful kitty," she continued to shower the cat with praises and pets... and was about to tell Heath it was nice to meet him but...
WHY WAS THE ADORABLE FIRST YEAR WITH THE EQUALLY ADORABLE CAT BEING PUSHED?! Juliette quickly scooched over on the floor to avoid being completely TRAMPLED by this random girl (Whitney) who was TOTES crashing this cat and candy party. And before she could say anything about the matter, there were others (Olivia) quickly coming to the first year's defense. Probably for the best since Juliette's reaction would've been to push the girl back. She didn't need to get any more trouble.
"CATASTROPHE!" Juliette cackled hearing her fellow Gryffindor (Joshua) deliver such a fantastic pun. She watched the drama unfolding and wondered if she should find someone in charge to like... diffuse the situation or something? But why ruin such a great show?
She continued to eat her jelly slug, petting Heath's cat, listening and watching everyone before Heath was leaving? WAIT.
NO.
BUT SHE WAS GIVING THE CAT RUBBIES.
She hadn't necessarily heard what the boy had whispered but she knew one thing - where this friendly cat and her owner was going, Juliette was following. She'd find Evie or another one of her friends later. "WAIT UP HEATH. I wanna keep petting Rey!!!" She got up and followed behind. Then looked at the firstie, Ashley. "Wanna come with? We can have a cat and candy party."

Ashley shrank a couple of inches at least. She was kinda embarrassed. Apparently now people were defending her? She didn't really like being a center of attention, nor had she ever been a center of attention, but it would have been weirder if nobody said anything, so she was pretty grateful. She spoke up quietly. "Sure, I'd love to come to your cat party." Because. Cats. And also because People were there.
