Now, she bent to reach under the seat and grab the satchel that she usually carried her school books in. "I raided the food trolley earlier." She unzipped the largest compartment and held it out for Nia to take the candy of her pleasing.
Ellie's beaming smile made Nia grin. It made her forget momentarily that she was on a train away from what she knew and loved. "Just...make sure there's always a soft landing, right? I get enough bumps and bruises on the pitch, without your greetings adding more."
And then Ellie ducked and reached under the seat. Nia watched her curiously, unsure what the girl was going to do next. She didn't have any more surprises, did she? She wouldn't it put it past her (or the rest of the team, who could quite easily be hiding in here somewhere). Some clever and crazy Ravenclaw plan to catch Nia out before she left. They'd all got Becca last year, afterall.
All that Ellie produced, however, was her usual bag. Full of sweets. "Blimey, do they have any left?" she joked. She picked out one of the liquorice wands she'd been fancying. "Cheers," she said with a smile, before nibbling it at the end. "Soooo. What's the excitement?" Because one girl didn't need all that lot for one train journey, did she?
