That was super cool! She'd known just what Maddie had been thinking even though nothing had been said out loud. "There is? Do you know for sure? Did you see them stock it?" she asked, lunging right into her usual stream of questions.

Not being able to help herself, Maddie turned back around and poked her head around the crowd. The line had only moved a little bit tiny bit. Somebody was being a slow poke up there! "What do you think's taking so long? Do you think some kid is taking their dear, sweet time? What if I went up there and suggested things for them? Do you think the line would move faster?" she asked. She needed answers!

Scarlett mentally thanked Merlin that none of her younger siblings were this excitable - it had been like, a minute of hanging out with this girl, and she was already exhausted. She blinked at her non-stop stream of questions and then laughed. "No, buttttt the trolley has been operating for YEARS on the Express, they knew how much they need to keep in stock in order to assure everyone gets something," she told the girl. She assumed there was some sort of magical extension charm on the various compartments of the cart, but she didn't want to get THAT specific with the obvious first year.

She shook her head. "Nah, someone is probably just trying to find their money stuffed in their pockets," she assured her with a smile. She was too nice to tell her that offering up suggestions would probably just irritate some of their classmates. Especially some of the Slytherins. So grumpy.

"I'm Scarlett, by the way," she added, figuring that the LEAST she could do was chat with the girl and introduce herself. She reminded her a BIT of herself at that age. Just with a little more enthusiasm.

Erm...a LOT more enthusiasm.
