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?"

Desiree tilted her head to one side, watching with interest as the other girl slapped the gumball machine. What was that all about? Did the machine eat her money or was it National Slap a Gumball Machine Day or something? She jumped slightly when the other girl spoke suddenly. “It’s okay. Sorry I startled you,” she replied. The thought of her working at Sugarplum’s made her giggle a bit, Somehow she doubted she’d make a very good candy maker… though she did like baking. Maybe there was some overlap of the two skills? Never mind. “I’m just another customer.”

She shook her head in reply to the question. “No, I’m in Hufflepuff,” she said. Though she was flattered to be mistaken for a Ravenclaw. Most people thought she wasn’t smart enough for that house! “I’m Desiree,” she introduced herself, unsure if Meredith already knew her name. Her blue eyes momentarily flicked toward the gumball machine on which the other girl rested her arm. “Is there something wrong with that machine?”
