A/N: After two chapters of blind randomness, i think an explaination is due... this is out of the insanity of my own head. Harry Potter and co. belong to Ms. Rowling, and Genoise is the general property of the real life Ajina, Ignatia, Kokoro, Trinn and Opal.
After a careful surveillance of the train, Trinn declared that, most probably, they weren't even taking tickets. So, with a sense of confidence, the girls boarded the train.
Ajina, in her blue sundress, and the only one carrying a suitcase, was the first to locate an empty cabin. They promptly claimed it, even going to far as to use a piece of paper from god knows where to write "Genoise only" on the door.
Kokoro quickly booted up her laptop, which she had been carrying in a previously ignored shoulder bag, and began blasting J Pop throughout the cabin. Opal, who had only a purse with her, and was clad in the tiniest of tiny outfits, had stretched out across one entire bench and begun devouring a box of chocolate that a random passerby had bought for her. Ignatia took out a book she had been reading - "control your temper, PLEASE!", and engrossed herself in it. She was clad in her usual skater garb, and also had only a small bag. Trinn, who, like usual, had no luggage, contented herself with making faces at people out the window. They all looked at her rather strangely, since it was not everyday they might see such a gothic young woman keeping company with these diverse and hyper people.
Eventually the train began to move. Trinn, in her black mini dress and combat boots, poked her head out of the compartment, and hollered "RAMPAGING ELEPHANTS!" down the hallway. She promptly retreated, and slammed the door loudly enough that someone might actually think there WAS an elephant.
Opal, having finished off her chocolate, had begun another quest for food. As she was peeking out of the compartment, an elderly woman passed by.
"Would you like some candy, dear?" the woman asked. Opal immediately voiced her agreement that candy was what she wanted. Ajina, who had heard this, came to the door with a handful of newly acquired British notes.
"What do you want, Opal-chan.." Ajina sighed, prepared for a repeat performance of Opal's attempt to buy every piece of candy in Harrod's Department store, which meant about a metric ton of chocolate.
"I'll have a snickers bar, a milky way midnight, two packs of sour patch kids,…" Opal began, before the candy vendor innterupted her.
"We don't have any of those dear.." she said in a maternal voice. "I can offer you.."
"Star burst jelly beans!" Kokoro shouted from inside the cabin, where she was singing along to, appropriately, Fruit Candy.
"A Three Musketeers bar," Opal continued "Eight Jolly Ranchers, Three Packs of Pocky Strawberry, nine packs of Pocky chocolate fudge, a tootsie pop…"
"Whatever might you be talking about?" the woman asked. Opal, realizing the woman didn't even KNOW any of her candies, stopped in mid "Hershey bars for every on-", and simply stared in amazement.
"I can sell you Bertie Bott's every flavor beans, or Chocolate Frogs.." the vendor said helplessly.
Ajina, taking over from the shocked Opal, stated that ten Chocolate Frogs would be very nice, provided they didn't actually come from FROGS. Since they didn't, Ajina passed the woman a Ten Pound Note.
"I'm sorry, we don't accept this currency." Said the candy seller. Ajina's eyes bulged out, and she joined Opal in shock. Ignatia came to the door, and demanded to know why someone in England wouldn't take the British Pound. The vendor, noticing the many people down the hall who also wanted food, simply said they could have the candy. Opal immediately returned from shock and grabbed the chocolate. Ajina thanked the woman, and let her go on her way.
As she made her way down the hall, Ignatia pointed something out to the other girls. "Was it just me, or was she wearing a robe?"
