Shannon had to shoulder barge her way through the crowd lining the aisle, her newly restocked pile of sweets being cradled in the upturn of her robes. Some were in the pockets too. But there wasn't enough space in there for all of them. She'd gone slightly overboard at the food trolley. The lovely lady serving hadn't stopped her, though. And her mummy wasn't there to either. So many a chocolate frog was nestled safely upon her person. Now all she had to do was get them back to the compartment she'd left her bag in.
Which was this one. That now had two other occupants in it. One of whom was blocking her way in. "Excuse me please, can I just.......Oh." Shannon stopped halfway through squeezing past the older girl, when she set eyes on the one who looked not much older than her. Who seemed to be crying. And who was also sat in the seat she'd vacated to go on her food trolley expedition. How was she meant to get her bag from under there now?
WHOA WHAT WAS GOING ON HERE? Did this child not KNOW that Dora UMBRIDGE was older and WISER and taller than her and was not above Gryffindoring at her HARDCORE! And now she was kind of just hanging out there? Half in the door... trying to squeeze past? Dora made to move and maybe, perhaps moved slightly in an attempt to squish her a bit... Heh.
But... Oh...

"Hello, I'm Azura."
She managed to get out in a soft, mostly normal voice! She could do this! She could be normal and not let anyone know about her mother.. Right?
Right!
She didn't believe her mother was dead anyways.. Those people at the ministry HAD to be wrong!
She was about to say more when another girl tried to get in and then looked right to where Azura was sitting!
Fwoopers! Was this compartment occupied? Azura looked down and then hurried to her feet as she saw a bag under her seat..
"I'm so sorry!!" The tiny 4'4" 12 year old said as she bit her lip.. "Here! Take your seat! I didn't know! I'm so sorry!"
Azura? That was an interesting name. And Dora was familiar with that face and that voice and that whole demeanor right there... Moving further into the compartment she sat on the bench opposite the girl and gave her a gentle smile. "
Hi Azura, I'm Dora."
Okay... how to proceed? Did she ask the obvious question or did she just let it slide and pretend she hadn't noticed? HMMM...

Shannon beamed at the girl as she moved. Although she did kind of need her bag, so was grateful to be able to reach that now. She sunk to her knees and began stuffing her supply of chocolate frogs into the main section, leaving three out on the floor, before pulling the flap back over and shutting it.
"Would you like one? You looked a bit upset, and chocolate always helps with that." She held up the packet for the girl to take, her grin getting wider, before looking around and doing the same to the other girl. "You too? I have LOADS."
And then this trainwreck happened... Hahahaha!
Dora nodded her head and held her hand out, but moved her eyes back to Azura. She
had looked really upset and she was certain the girl had been crying when she entered.... so she was interested in the reason as well. "
If you want to talk... you totally can. Maybe I can help." Because HELLO awesomely older girl with WORLDLY advice and all! MHM!!
Turning her attention to the chocolate child she gave a small smile there, too. "
Like I said, I'm Dora. And you are?" Because she was totally in the market for adopting YOUNGER kids to be her minions. And maybe these two could fit that bill?
