[There is a small pink-and-blue - pink only because she's wearing a pink bow in her hair along with her school uniform and its hints of blue - blur running around the train. Yes, school's starting, but more importantly: People to see! Freedom from Mum's prying eyes! Candy to give out!

And yes, Bonnibel has a lot of it. And has had a lot of it, to boot.

So it's entirely likely she will bowl you over accidentally in her rush to talk to everyone and blow off steam.]

_{[Whoa, someone who has more energy that Dirk has. WHAT A FIND. The first year is just going to wave at her because he's not even sure how to approach someone more hyper.]}

Hi! Oh my gosh, you must be new! I'm Bonnibel, it's nice to meet you! Want some candy?

[You name it, she has it.]

_{[He wants to make her a new friend now.]}

I'm Dirk Strider! And sure! What kind do you have? Orange candies are my favourite, especially gummis.

[Rummage, rummage -- there! She finds a pack of orange gummies and hands it over.]

My mum and dad run a combination wizarding/Muggle candy shop. You name it, I can probably get my hands on it. I'm in Ravenclaw, so just drop a note? If we don't wind up in the same place.

[She giggles, pulling out some strawberry gummies for herself and opening the pack.]

_{[This is the most amazing thing, omg. He tears into the candy immediately. Candy is delicious and part of the most balanced diet, right? Too bad if it's not.]}

Awesome. I definitely will, because I didn't even think to bring candy and everyone I know is already going to be at school.

I'm happy to do it! We all get so busy with stuff, someone needs to cheer everyone up now and then. I can't think of a better way to do it. Everyone likes sweet stuff.

[Munch, munch.]

You looked a little nervous before. Can I do anything to help out?
