Verlin heard everyone greet their friends enthusiastically and rolled her eyes. "It figures. Sitting alone again Ester." The cat let out a little meow of sympathy, and jumped into the girls lap purring comfortingly. She stroked the cats head, and the cat nuzzled her hand. The trolley lady went by and she bought herself some chocolate frogs, and took out the ham sandwich her mother had made her. Everyone seemed to overload on sweets on the train, but she loved it when her mom made her sandwiches. In a compartment a few rows down she heard talk about Quidditch, and couldn't help but say out loud, "Nimbus 2001 that's nothing special." She had no idea why these kids were getting excited over out dated brooms. She didn't own a broom herself, but followed Quidditch like everyone else. 

 She opened up one of her chocolate frogs, and was dismayed to learn it was another Ron card. "Ron I have like 10 of him." She was after the rare Severus Snape card. She had read up on the life of Snape some, and was interested by his story. She threw one of the frogs legs to her cat who had a taste for chocolate. She tried to prevent the cat from eating it, but had since given up. She drummed her fingers on her lap making a little rhythm. She was feeling quite bored. The train ride was always the most boring part for her.
