That was a Prefecty thing to do, right?
He looked at the girl, then at Penelope, then back at the girl. "Well. You're supposed to pay. A knut." He wondered briefly what sort of wizarding background this girl had and if she knew what a knut was. He saw her turn out her pockets though, and groaned quietly.
"Nothing?" he repeated, then patted his own pockets. "Me either." Someone should have told them. How hard would it have been to put that in the letter?
He frowned slightly, stepping up to the turnstiles again to get a good look at them. Obviously, not everyone would be able to jump. He might be able to lift the smaller students over...
He studied the air over the turnstiles, suddenly wondering if there was an alarm there. Sort of like muggle spy movies. Would those sort of things work at Hogwarts?
NO ONE HAS MONEY!
AND THE ONE THAT HAS IT WAS AN....ALLEGED ROBOT!
DOOMED.
She stared at the prefect. What did he mean by nothing? He was a PREFECT! He was supposed to know things.
"
You mean...you don't know this was supposed to be here?" she asked, surprised. What kind of prefect was that? NO NO. The oh-you-dont-have-a-batch-let-me-give-you-one kind. "
IS THIS ONLY HAPPENING HERE OR NOT?" she asked. She wanted to know. If this was only the case with the lions and not anyone else, she...argh..she just wanted to know what was happening.

They'd never know 'til he tried. "I've left my things in my trunk and they're in there. I take it the same happened to you?" Why else would she be standing out here?
Lex laughed lightly. "I guess you do!" That reminded her of the conversation they had earlier. It just...didn't seem as funny anymore but still laugh worthy. "I suppose we could all go finding somewhere else?" That could work? Yeah?"[/b]
She nodded. Who carries a full money bag on first day to Hogwarts? No one said this would happen. She looked at the girl with a grin. "
Yeah....do lets go somewhere..." she trailed.
Cool. The girl was older, had been here for a while. She would sure know some good place in the school to spend the night. Yes?

Natasha fished out her small money pouch. She never kept all of her money on her, but liked to have just a bit in case she needed it.
Feeling awkward, she looked around. "Do you not have any money?" She asked Amara, hoping she didn't sound offensive. She knew Amara had money, she just referred to having money with her right now.
Amara blinked at the question. "
Ehm...I do" she said. "
But irrelevant because it's currently tucked into the safety of my trunk" she added. Well it was written on the agenda to carry knuts to first day on school. Was it? And a thought struck. "
HEY" she said, her eyes far off. "
I think..Zyanya might have some" she said, looking at the girl. REMEMBER? "
Yeah.. I think I saw her clutching a money bag before leaving the train"
BRILLIANT! Maybe her twin was a sure Ravenclaw.

ADVENTURES ALREADY.
So.... back to that.... THRIVING OFF OF COURAGE FUMES thing? Since she was knutless. Sassy robots?
OH YEAH. She looked at the guy in question. And the girl who was having questions.
"
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?" she asked, her eyes wide. She surely didn't keep herself updated with muggle technology.
"
I DID SEE ONE... This summer! And it...it.." she paused.. "
it judo-flipped the guy who teased it" with a gulp. And THAT was the best she'd ever seen.
