She was going to need a huge stash of sweets to get through her OWL year, and besides, her dad always said sweets were the best way to make new friends!

As she stepped through the door, she nearly collided with another girl about her age by the gumball machine. “Oh! Hi,” she said, stepping aside just in time. She remembered seeing the other girl around school but hadn’t talked to her much. What was her name? Something with an M… “Meredith, right?”

Meredith crouched down to eye-level with the gumball machine after finding the money in her pocket and inserting the coin. She turned the handle at the front and waited...

and waited.... and waited...

The Gryffindor frowned as her prize did not fall, and she shook the machine slightly as the shop door opened up. She completely missed the other girl's apology because she was too preoccupied with slapping the top of the gumball machine in the hopes of causing her prize to fall down and only looked up when she heard her name. "I'm not doing anything!" she said, turning around and holding her hands up. "Sorry. I thought you worked here..."

Meredith recognized the girl from class and was certain they were in the same year. But her name had slipped her mind completely. "That's me, yea" she nodded, leaning her arm on top of the gumball machine to guard it in case a snot-nosed kid wanted to try it and claimed HER prize. "You're a Ravenclaw, right?"
