This was only the most logical stop for the Gryffindor before resigning herself to the Prefect's Compartment later or compartment hopping. After a long term of nothing but snow and castle walls, one could only expect that Alexa had run out of candy, most depressing of all, chocolate. Of course she could have waited to hit the station then a proper candy shop but what would she do on the ride back? Snacks needed to be had.

Felix shuffled about restlessly in her arms, changing this way and that until he was able to find a position comfortable enough to suit him. It was just as well he did, this line was ridiculous. You stop to get rid of a trunk and suddenly the entire Hogwarts population has a spot infront of you in the line.

The nerve of it all. Were she in a bit more of a hurry she'd have minded but there was still miles of nothing but train tracks before them so.....just waiting.
