IC/OOC: All Aboard! WHO: Everyone! WHERE: Hogwarts Express, Scotland --> London WHEN: 9 o'clock AM to 5 o'clock PM WHAT: OOC/IC Log
The train was a welcome sight as people turned the corner with their thestral carriages, and students of all years practically ran to get onto the train before anyone (read: The Carrows) could come by and tell them they were just kidding, this was just some outrageous joke, and they were meant to get back into the castle and no one was to have Christmas.
But it wasn't a joke, and everyone was allowed to take their seats in whichever compartment they liked and with whomever they liked. Sure, some of them were going home with partially scarred bodies, but they were going home, and there was candy available on the trip.
However, the trolley lady was nowhere in sight. There was a usurper in her place. An extremely tall man dressed in a train attendant's clothing. Whenever he was asked where the trolley lady was, he said she was on Christmas vacation.
All the train attendants were unfamiliar faces and very unlikely to strike up a conversation. Instead, they tended to side-eye everyone in their presence. One was a bit untidy and smelly, but other than that, everything seemed fairly normal.
Compartments are available for you to group your students into for further interaction! Enjoy the train ride!
