As soon as she realized the fatal flaw, she had jumped out of her seat to run to the trolley line. Thinking that heading there early would mean less of a line, she moved as quickly as her two legs would take her.

.... Only, um, she was wrong (something she wouldn't own up to, probably) and the line was humongous. So she quietly waited, counting the coins in her hands. Maybe she could find a way to weasel her way further up the line. Being cute usually helped in cases like this.

Moose was doing a lot of firsts, even still for his 2nd Year. His train ride to Hogwarts last year was lonely and weird and he hated it. But Moose was kinda different now. In that he was just indifferent about the train ride this time. Sure, he had seen the line for this trolley last year so he knew coming to stand in it now would be a big risk. Still he was here, waiting for his chance to get some candy to snack on before the feast would open at night, and that was a long way away.

He poked his head out from the line to see where he was in relation to the front. He was at the back of the line now, and would really take some time to get anything? Does the trolley replenish it's sweets often so that they never run out? Was there a magic for that too?
Probably.

He didn't bring a lot of galleons with him on the train, nor did his parents still really understand the exchange since they were both very terrified of the Goblins still. They must still be crunching numbers at home, trying to wrap their head around Wizarding Economy. Which was just too boring for Moose to think any second more of. it was a helpful, and pleasant surprise when Kinsay showed up behind him then. Having someone to talk to would help the line move faster, if only in distracting him for the thought of how long the line was to start with. "Hi Kinsay." He gave her nod, and a smile. It was good to see her, really it was.
