| | |  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.

... and here she was, on her way back to school.
Matilda was looking forward to seeing her friends but she was already worried about being behind in classes again. She could feel her palms getting sweaty at the idea of not being able to cast simple spells, when all of her peers could. Trying to shake those thoughts out of her head - because she really didn't want to end up crying when there were so many people around - the third year stood in line for the trolley, trying to think of what she wanted to buy.

| For Joel & Caes + mention of Matilda <3 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Fifth year!
This was the time for OWL exams for Ms. McLeod. That meant intense studying this year to make her fathers super proud of her. On second thought, to make them MORE proud of her since she was one hundred percent sure that she had made them proud many times already. But that intense studying? It could wait for some time more. Right now Aria just wanted to show off Caes.
“Want to hear something?” Aria had lowered her voice significantly and her sharp eyes were scanning the surroundings. “I’ve got a couple of Howlers we got at Wiseacres stowed in my pockets,’’ she whispered impishly. The fifth year wiggled her fingers at Matilda innocently, as though she wasn't plotting something. “Want to have some fun, brother dearest?”

Caeson's summer of fun came to an end. He was going back for another sixth year term, but this time at Hogwarts, thanks to a mishap with some grades being lost in the transfer. Well, at least he wouldn't be alone. It was awkward being the new guy. So he was once again given the grand tour by his little sister. His new dads treated him like a newborn it felt like, Papa Val insisting on fixing up his tie and robe which all but felt itchy given his lack of distain for uniforms. While Dad James all but gave words of encouragement. Did he really come off that insecure? He was quiet at times but not shy at all, haha. But, it was fine with him.
"What?" He asked back Aria, she clearly had something planned. Which made him smile, "Uh yeaaaah.... should we test one out here or wait later?" It did look like the younger guest (Matilda) could use a wake-up call. But after all, something of this magnitude would work out better with a crowd. Oh, the possibilities.
"By the way, did you get enough coins for snacks? I doubt the discount will work here." Yes, that special discount that helped him get something new for his ear.

Trying to shake those thoughts out of her head - because she really didn't want to end up crying when there were so many people around - the third year stood in line for the trolley, trying to think of what she wanted to buy. Atlas wasn't sure what he was in the mood for, but he figured buying a couple of jelly wands for himself and his brother was a good place to start. Tossing his leather ladybug coin BAG back and forth in his hands, he came up behind a younger girl with curly red hair that seemed to add at least an inch to her. It was kind of cool. Maybe he should try getting some curls in to his tragically straight hair. Or a mohawk? Maybe that would make him look taller than Aries, even if he was catching up to his brother in height these days...it couldn't hurt? At least not until genetics did him a solid.
His ears twitched as he only half (more like on fourth) heard what the two siblings were talking about and as the line moved ahead another couple of paces he tapped the younger girl on the shoulder. "You're up."
Thank you captain obvious.

Hufflepuff Fourth Year | Matilda & all Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Despite parting from his sisters shortly after boarding the train, it felt like they always somehow showed up in the same place. He blamed their stomachs.
But, the good thing was, when he spotted Matilda's curly red hair ahead of him in line for the trolley, that meant he didn't have to wait in line. Finn pushed past the two whispering older students and edged around the blond boy to squeeze into a spot next to Matilda. It was a good thing he was lanky, though it meant he may have unintentionally elbowed anyone he passed in the corridor. "Can you get me a chocolate frog?" he asked her.
After all, it was her turn and not his. And it wasn't cutting if he didn't buy anything. | |

Matilda was relieved that the line was moving a lot more quickly than she'd initially assumed - too distracted to pay any attention to what the older students were talking about. Oooh, she was next! Finally.. when someone tapped her on the shoulder. An older boy, blonde. Giving him a quick nod, her short curls bouncing all over the place, and a rather awkward smile - she was about to make her purchase when her brother was standing next to her.
"I know, I was going to buy you one." She knew what her siblings liked, after all. The third year paid for the snacks before handing Finn the chocolate frogs.

| Everyone! ^_^ Humblest of apologies for her ;__; ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Whereas their dads treated Caes like a fragile someone, Aria certainly did not treat him that way. Caes was his own person, was he not? And so far, Aria was able to handle him and all his shenanigans. Did we mention that she positively ADORED him? We did? Okaaay, moving on!
The younger Slytherin wiggled her brows briefly. “That among other items. But why is that even a question?’’ came her whispered reply. “Wait. Don’t tell me… you’re not nervous about getting into any trouble, are you?” If he was, Aria was willing to let the moment slide, to keep the Howlers for another time.
“Oh yes. I’ve got plenty of those! What do you want to have?” Aria thought that she’d do well with gum… Taking the time while Caes made up his mind about his choice of sweets, the girl peered casually around. OH GOODY! More students had arrived; there were faces she recognised - like Atlas. Then there was that absolutely rude one - Finn. “Young Sir. There’s no need to elbow me. Have you ever heard of POLITELY asking to be let through?” Honestly, kid.
Now Aria, rubbing her side where she had been unceremoniously elbowed, was itching to get back at Finn for his rudeness. You know what? She’d do exactly that. Masking her true intention of retrieving a particular prank device, the fifth year reached into her robe pocket to pluck out her bright purple purse that held her money. “Woops!’’ She dropped the purse purposely before bending in a lady-like fashion to pick it up off the floor. In the process and using her body to shield her actions, a tiny box of Can You Smell Something? was deposited neatly, subtly and swiftly towards a corner in Finn’s direction. just as Matilda handed him the Frogs. A satisfied smirk graced her perfect lips as she straightened up. And now she would wait about half a minute...
Aria wrinkled her nose in fake disgust as an odor began wafting through the surroundings. “UGH! Which one of you farted??!” Aria covered her nose dramatically. “Was it YOU, young sir with no manners??” Yes. Aria was eyeing Finn. | |

"Pfft, I don't get nervous," Much. Caes could just about laugh at the idea. "Figured more than one could be a witness to... this." Oho, there was now a crowd. Other than (Matilda) there was another Gryffindor (Atlas). "Never mind, haha." Welp, maybe they could something after all.
"Well, I got enough for some cakes and maybe a wizard's card. But from you said earlier we should probably load up for the feast later." He said as he began fishing his pockets for his change. Then he was pushed aside by a younger one (Finn)... "Excuse you, kid. I think you owe my sis an apology. " Firstly, he would've moved if asked nicely. Second, this was a queue. How dare someone ignore the rules of a queue. His face squirmed up in disgust of the action... only to now be of disgust of the smell. Did he just rip one on top of pushing others? "Geez, what did you eat this morning?" He was starting to lose his appetite now. They might as well get their snacks and go pronto.
