Surely Muggles had even more types of sweets.

Glancing over at Sarah, she noticed her sad expression. She almost didn't say anything in front of because she thought she might feel that way. Mariel resolved to find a way to meet up with Sarah over the holidays, but this time they'd have to make plans at school before they went home. That shouldn't be too hard. If she was going to be disobedient by playing Quidditch, surely sneaking out to visit a friend wouldn't be any worse.

Mariel looked tentatively in Nathaniel's direction as he laughed at her. "Have I ever seen the ocean?" she blurted out incredulously. "I live on a big island. What do you think?" Apparently this surfing thing had to do with that, but he was making her feel stupid for not knowing these Muggle terms, just like that crazy professor did when she didn't know what a shovel did. At least she wasn't the only one wondering as she noticed Lasca with the same quizzical expression. Although she was fairly certain Sarah would know.

At Lasca's question, Mariel spoke up. "You can either put your robes on over the clothes you're wearing - that's acceptable on the first day - or there's a bathroom a few compartments down - I think. You can change in there if you like." Looking up at Sarah, she nodded. "I don't think it will be much longer till we're there." She glanced out the window, before standing up to retrieve her own things.

Hearing the tone in Mariel's voice, Lasca bristled slightly. She too was a little insulted at his question. Of course, everyone knew what the ocean was. She couldn't stand when people did that. Just because some witches and wizards don't hang around with muggles as often as some, doesn't mean we are totally ignorant of everything muggles come in contact with. Brushing it off she scooped up Tundra and put him on the seat next to her.

She turned and fished her school robes out of her trunk. "I will return shortly. I am going to change now. Better to get it over with before the entire train gets the same idea." She gave a wink and a smile before disappearing down the hall. A short time later she returned in her new robes. They fit nicely. Currently she wore no distinguishing colors but that would change tomorrow.

Smiling at the thought she stashed her street cloths in her trunk and sat back down. Tundra, having finally exhausted himself curled up in her lap to take a nap.
