| | |  Food Trolley
 It goes without saying that everyone's favourite person in the train is the trolley lady. Old, plump, and just as sweet as the food she sells, she can provide you with the sugary delights you desire -- from Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans to Chocolate Frogs to Pumpkin Pasties, it is all there in her trolley! The woman comes around during the middle of the journey and is generally the cause for any traffic jams taking place in the corridor.
When you hear "Anything from the trolley?" be hollered, even from a distance, it would be wise of you to jump up, make sure you have your money in your pocket, and get in the corridor before a long line begins to form. If you are the unfortunate soul that has to deal with an endless line, keep calm and stay put because the wait is certainly worth it. Please make sure you are waiting your turn with patience because the trolley lady is likely to refuse making a transaction with you if she sees you trying to cut in line or pushing people out of the way.
OOC: No one plays the trolley lady, so please role-play receiving snacks and paying on your own.

Daniel moved down the trains aisles casting the odd glance into compartments without much hope of finding an empty one, occasionally the train would bolt slightly testing his balance and making him wince in pain, his foot still very painful from the incident at home with the collapsing table, he made a note to self to think of something much cooler to tell people if he was asked about it.
A few moments of watching the scenery whizz by passed when his daze was broken by the trolley lady, he felt obliged to buy something so after some thought he picked up some chocolate frogs and what looked like a cheese roll.He awkwardly shuffled out of the way so the trolley lady could pass him, he looked down and frowned at his foot before moving on down the carriage. |

Avalon was starving, and for some reason, inexplicably craving a pumpkin pasty. Despite eating a rather large breakfast earlier in the day, the train ride was making her hungry. Perhaps it was just from boredom - she had spent much of the ride rereading old note sheets and textbooks, trying to test her memory to make sure it was back for good. (Good news - her short-term and long-term memory seemed to be in perfect working order.) As she made her way to the trolley, Avalon couldn't help but notice the slight limp of the Slytherin boy heading toward her, coupled with a grimace toward his lower extremeties. "Trolley lady ran over your foot?" she asked curiously. Trolley injuries were actually a relatively common occurrence on the train - usually when people were crowding around the hallways. One year, Avalon stubbed her toe big time trying to get past the cart.

Daniel had not yet thought of an exciting reason behind his injury, something that made him sound cool and now here he was stumbling around his words "yeah...." he resigned himself to agreeing and settling on being ran over by the food trolley " I didn't mind though! .... it was worth it for chocolate" he rounded it off with a nervous chuckle, yes fantastic Daniel who doesnt love being ran over by a food trolley. | |

The boy sounded a little unsure in his response. Avalon briefly wondered if he was telling the truth, but she didn't want to press him for answers. After all, she barely knew the guy. "Ah. Rubbish luck," she replied as she exchanged a few coins for a pumpkin pasty. "The things we put up with for our sugar cravings!" The Ravenclaw pocketed her change with a laugh before turning back to him. "I reckon we'll probably be home soon, but I needed something sweet to keep me from falling asleep before we pull into the station!" Or on the car ride home. Avalon's mum usually insisted on bringing the muggle car to pick her up from King's Cross. "So, got any interesting plans for the holiday?" She figured that she might as well stay and chat for a few minutes if the boy was up for it, as she'd spent the majority of the ride thus far being fairly antisocial.

Sugar cravings for sure! the thought brought Daniel back down to earth slightly as he confessed .." I am not strictly allowed too much sugar ... getting it in whilst I can" he said with a sigh, home has never been a massively strict place but his Dad was very funny about certain things. It was only when the girl mentioned being home soon that he realised how much time had passed, these rides back seem to get quicker year on year "Nothing too exciting... staying in one place would be nice... I guess that all depends on my Dads work..." he tailed off as he realised he was at risk of going off on a tangent, after a moment of debating weather to explain what he meant or change the subject he asked "how about you?" | |
