She pauses, then shrugs and makes her way back.

They're eating sweets!

"Are those all weird and magical somehow?" she asks, coming into the cabin.

"… Magical like what?"

"I dunno," she says. "Explodey or something? I heard you have exploding snap." Shrug.

She sits down. "Got my bag fixed, anyway."

"Chocolate frogs jump and have moving pictures in their boxes!"

"And every flavour beans have every flavour."

She's been having fun with those.

"… Even like, rubber? Or, I dunno, gravel?"

"Probably somewhere?"

Blink. "Why?"

"Because!"

"That… is a ridiculous reason?" says Thea. "Chocolate frogs sound interesting, though – can I have one?"

Anthony hands her one.

And Willow has a bean. "Wood!"

"Is there something addictive in those?" asks Thea, opening her chocolate frog.

Then she's slightly distracted trying to grab hold of it.

Good thing they only jump once.

"No, it's just fun to find new flavours." In she pops another one. "Hmm... sand, I think."

Then Thea eats the frog. Nom.

"This is pretty good, actually."

"If magic couldn't make tasty sweets I'd feel cheated."

"Mm, me too," she agrees.

Nom, chocolate.

And soon someone knocks on their door and tells them to start putting their robes on.

Ooh, okay.

So then they can put their robes on!

"Robes are weird."

"… Robes are not weird."

"They're weird," Sadde agrees.

The train soon approaches Hogsmeade, and the castle is visible in the distance through the window.

Anthony looks quite happy to be able to see it.

"… I assume you have magic to make it less draughty. On account of, you know, old castle."
