She was not paying money to enter her common room. No way. "I'll sleep in the corridor if I have to." Also, she called dibs on Jake as a pillow, okay? And if Anya had issues with that, they could divide his body up into sections or something. Maybe.

But no paying. Nope. "Anyone tried jumping 'em yet?"

The sixth year noticed her favorite fifth year joining the rest of the lions and smiled. She liked Alice, Alice was nice. But what Alice was saying was not very nice. "You are not sleeping in the corridor, it'll be filthy," Melanie said, frowning. She disapproved of sleeping on the floor without a sleeping bag or blanket and Alice didn't seem like she had either. "You will be sleeping in a bed, like a proper person should be doing." And that meant getting inside.

And the jumping the turnstile part? "Jumping the turnstile isn't allowed... I mean, muggles do it in the train station loads but that doesn't mean we have to do that." Plus, Melanie was pretty sure she had a knut in her wallet. Or two. Once she found her wallet that was.

She also noticed that she was looking for something. "Did you lose something?" She asked curiously. She didn't think Melanie would have wasted a knut on a place they had every right to be in. Or maybe she would. This was Melanie they were talking about. It seemed highly possible.

Melanie continued to look in her pockets before her hand hit something. Ah. Her wallet. She looked up when she heard Alexa asking her a question and smiled. "I did, but it's in my pocket, I found my wallet," Melanie said, holding it up triumphantly and trying to make sure her eating utensils didn't fall and stuff. That wouldn't be pleasant. She'd have to rewash them, not that she minded it too much, she'd just prefer not to.

"And I think I have a few knuts in here," Melanie said, unzipping her wallet to the best of her ability with on hand and pushing it open. And immediately a few knuts fell out along with maybe a sickle or two. And where did they fall onto? The ground. "EEP!" Melanie squeaked, placing her plate gingerly on the floor and putting the cup and spork on top of it before trying to find the coins that had fallen out.

She had worked for that and she wasn't going to lose it all - at least, not until she got into the Common Room and to her noodles. Plus, her teddy bears needed to be unpacked as well. And her shoes.
