"Anything off the trolley, dears?"

Prompt: sweets

Pairing: Draco/Ginny

Set: sixth year

"Anything off the trolley, dears?"

It was practically a tradition on the Hogwarts Express, every year, to hear that exact same question. The blonde haired Slytherin looked up from what he was doing, and then shot a smile to Crabbe and Goyle, who seemed to have their eyes fixed on the trolley. Draco himself wasn't for the sweets really, but he did love a good excuse to toss around his money. He stood up and walked over to the cart, one hand in his pocket as he picked through a few things.

"I guess I'll have a licorice wand and..." his eyes flickered over the chocolate frogs, but then to the bertie botts every flavor beans. A favorite of his, of course, seeing as how he found it extremely amusing to watch Crabbe and Goyle's reactions to the different flavors. "And a bertie botts every flavor beans." He said this while fishing into his other pocket, pulling out a few knuts and tossing them at the woman.

He smiled to himself as he began to sit down again, watching Crabbe and Goyle drool all over themselves. He rolled his eyes, giving them the beans. He had no interest in them for himself. Turning toward the compartment door, he saw that it was still open. He muttered something under his breath before standing up and preparing to close it.

But he didn't close it before he peeked out and noticed the candy trolley's next destination-a compartment quiet close. Draco caught himself smiling at the sight of a redheaded female. He quickly put on his usual face, clearing his throat and turning to Crabbe and Goyle. "I'll be back..." he murmured, walking towards the trolley and digging for more change.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the little Weaslette."

Ginny looked up at Draco and narrowed her eyes. "Get lost, Malfoy," she said in a stern voice. Draco chuckled.

"Now don't be like that. I just came back because I forgot to pay this...kind woman...some money for my sweets." The trolley lady looked confused.

"You don't owe me anything dear," she said, looking at him strangely. Ginny grinned.

"Better check on your math, Malfoy," she said smugly.

"Wow, now. I see I've overstayed my welcome. Don't buy too many sweets now, I would hate for your family to go bankrupt." Ginny went red in the face.

"Malfoy!" She said, looking as if she was about ready to tip the candy cart just to get at him.

"I'm leaving," he said quietly with a smirk on.

"Better not talk any more about my family, Malfoy," Ginny warned, "or I'll have to make my own stupid reason to come to your compartment."

Draco smiled but didn't turn back. Fighting with the fifth year was a game he didn't mind losing every now and then.
