There it was again!
Corrie had been hearing a certain tune around the store for hours today. It had started around three, an hour after she'd started her shift, and it wasn't exactly following her, but it was definitely not staying in one place either.
It wasn't just one person. She'd heard it whistled, hummed, doot-doot-dooted, at different pitches and in different voices. One woman had left the store humming it under her breath, she didn't seem to realize she was even doing it. But a younger man had laughed like someone recognizing a joke when he heard.
And now she was starting to sing it to herself, too, as she knelt in the canned items aisle reshelving a bunch of soup that someone had knocked to the ground. She didn't even know what it was from, besides (obviously) some muggle thing. That alone had kept her from asking what it was from the start, she had no idea if it was an obvious reference that anyone should know or something more random. But as she heard someone walk down the next aisle over cheerfully whistling it, she made up her mind. "Hey!" she said, getting to her feet and straining herself to stretch and wave her hand above the top shelf. "Hey, over here!"
