Hufflepuff |  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.

"Anything from the trolley?" Hearing the familiar voice of the trolley lady she smiled and quickly made her way out into the corridor to get herself some candy for her second year ride to school. It was still amazing to Emmie that she had passed her first year exams with flying colours. It hadn't felt so sure when she had sat the exams. Taking her place in the line to the trolley it didn't take long before she stood infront of the old, and plump trolley lady and paid for some bertie beans, cauldron cakes, jelly slugs, and pumpkin pasties to go with her sandwiches. Emmie turned around to go to her compartment when some guy brushed past her which caused all her sweets to fall to the floor. "Hey, watch it!" she yelled out in irritation before dropping to her knees to collect her candy off the train floor.

Emmie turned around to go to her compartment when some guy brushed past her which caused all her sweets to fall to the floor. "Hey, watch it!" she yelled out in irritation before dropping to her knees to collect her candy off the train floor. Drake's plan was to try to find Aryan as well as his twin sister so that they could all share a compartment, but the throng of people looking to do the same was so crowded he'd decided it might be in his best interest to let everyone else settle while he got a jumpstart on procuring snacks for the ride. Which is why with his messenger bag still slung over his shoulder, the curly haired boy made his way towards the trolley when he spotted it - digging into his pockets for his coins so he could take quick stock of how many items he could actually get.
Although, he certainly should have done that when he was already stopped. Drake had been so preoccupied with counting the gleaning items in his hand, that he'd missed a girl ahead of him turning to come his direction - causing his shoulder to knock into her. Which sent her sweets sailing and his own coin clattering to the floor.
His mouth dropping into an O, Drake quickly leaned down to the ground to try to gather as many of both as he could. "I am so, so sorry!" He added, grabbing a handful of her sweeties and reaching them up towards her. "Are you okay??"

His mouth dropping into an O, Drake quickly leaned down to the ground to try to gather as many of both as he could. "I am so, so sorry!" He added, grabbing a handful of her sweeties and reaching them up towards her. "Are you okay??" Kneeling on the floor in the middle of the train corridor Emmie tried her best to gather her candy without getting stepped on or worse more injuired. Reaching out for her bag of beans that had rolled some way out of her reach her eyes then comes into lock with a boy in her year that is now apologizing for his actions. Accepting the sweets from him Emmie stiffles a pained grimace "I forgive you. I'm okay, but my shoulder hurts pretty bad. Do you work out like quidditch players do?, Drake right?" she wonders as her fingers finally connects with her bag of beans. With a happy sigh she grabs her beans, and then does her best to gracefully get back up on her feet. It wasn't easy with a pained shoulder, but she managed it with just one pained exhale. Looking around them Emmie asks "Have you seen a packet of jelly slugs? It's the only thing I'm missing now."
If Emma or Aryan saw her now, her friends would wonder when she'd start to cry, but she wasn't going to. A little shoulder ache was nothing big that she couldn't handle. Turning her dark eyes back to Drake Emmie asks "So, what were you in such a hurry to buy from the trolley lady?"

Turning her dark eyes back to Drake Emmie asks "So, what were you in such a hurry to buy from the trolley lady?" ... HE HURT HER!?! Drake felt just terrible at that information. And while in normal circumstances he would have been amused someone thought he worked out, he was more distraught at the earlier fact that he couldn't focus on it. "I am so sorry!" He wished he knew some type of spell to make her feel better, or had a potion or ... something that he could do. The little happy sigh at first made him a bit relieved, but he still felt dreadful. And almost like he could cry even if she wasn't going to. But he fought his usual crybaby over emotional self and choked it back. Instead focusing on her questions. "I don't work out. But... I do dig a lot?" He was big on herbology and gardening, so a trowel was perhaps one of the things he often had in his hands. At the question of his name, he gave another now. "Drake. And you're..." He searched for her name from classes for a moment. "Emmie is it?" It was similar to Emma.
At the question about jelly slugs, he stood quickly and did a quick spin around - spotting them just a short distance away and retrieving them before bringing them back and handing them over to her. "Here you go!" As for why he'd been in such a hurry? Drake's hand went to his hair to scratch it a bit uncomfortably. "I.. was just trying to count my coins really. I wanted to get snacks for my sister and our friends but didn't want to hold up the line to figure out how much I could afford." But.. holding up the line would have been preferred it seemed. "Do you already have somewhere you're sitting for the train ride?"

"Do you already have somewhere you're sitting for the train ride?" Oh for jelly slugs sake why was Drake looking so distraught? He had hurt her yes, but it wasn't like she was bleeding or anything was it? She just had a pained shoulder which made her decide right there and then that she was going to start working out. Maybe there was an extracurricular for working out like that health and wellness group that she could join? "I'm fine." Emmie repeated again with a weak smile, since it felt like Drake needed to be reassured that she was okay, but a had a tender shoulder.
"Dig a lot?" Emmie murmured in confusion. "You take extra herbology classes?" Was that even an extracurricular that they could take at school? It wasn't something that rang a bell, but Emmie didn't remember what all the extracurriculars were at school. Nodding she affirmed. "Yes, I'm Emmie. It's short for Emmeline." Drake found her jelly slugs, and brought them to her before she had a chance to look herself which saved her the trouble. "Thanks!" she murmured back as she accepted, and pocketed the slugs too. "Oh okay, that does sound sensible to count your coins before going to the trolley queue." Emmie had to admit. Shaking her head she admitted "No, I haven't got anywhere to sit yet. My brother dissapeared when we entered the train. He made it clear that he wanted to sit with anyone, but not me." That had hurt a little, but it was understandable.

My brother dissapeared when we entered the train. He made it clear that he wanted to sit with anyone, but not me." That had hurt a little, but it was understandable. The now second year had a lot of feelings the boy could generally not contain very well, and was quick to feeling even extra which was what was happening this moment. The guilt was a LOT. Even with the extra reassurance. But he could tell his guilt was also being a burden, so instead of letting it show any further he put on a steely face (as best he could) and buried it deep, deeeeeep down and instead just smiled. "Okay."
At the question, he nodded and his smile turned a bit brighter; a bit more genuine. "I don't take extra classes, but I do try to help out in the greenhouses as often as Professor DeVries allows!" He replied, not bothering to also mention all of the particular plants and the like they had at home too that he could work with. "It's nice to more formally make your acquaintance, Emmeline!" He said, leaving the circumstances unmentioned again lest he further burden. The information she provided about her brother was... confusing to him. Why would her brother not want to sit together??? As it was, Gilly and probably some of their other friends were currently holding a compartment so they could all sit together. It just seemed a given he and his sister would find each other at some point. Was that not normally the case? "Oh. Well... if you want to join us, my sister went to find a compartment. I think Bryony Paton is supposed to be joining us too." At the very least. He was hoping to stumble upon Ary too before they made it up to the castle, but he also did not want to infringe TOO much on the other boy's space when they'd have plenty of time to catch up that evening in their dormitory.
Not wanting to inconvenience anyone else, Drake also moved a bit forward to officially join the queue of students so that he could get his own snacks, but not too the point where his attention was too far off from her and the conversation they were having.
