She left the door open as an invitation for anyone who wanted to join her - friend, family, or acquaintance. Or even someone she did not know yet who could be a potential friend. Taking a seat on the bench, she set down Sprinkles, her speckled pygmy puff on the seat next to her as she contemplated things while looking out the window. It was her birthday soon and she knew she was being ridiculous, but did she even want to have a party? It felt like such an awkward time, right at the end of term and beginning of summer. Maybe she should just keep it to family and not worry about it.
Margaret had wanted to sit with Blake, or Florrie, or maybe Cooper, while she still had the chance. Maybe even Alex, but she'd never admit it to him or anybody else. But...well, she wasn't really sure any of them wanted to sit with her. So at the first sign of anybody else she knew, or well, anybody who didn't completely hate her, she decided she'd just sit there. No use wandering about the train the whole time, as given her luck she'd end up in a carriage alone.

Her luck wasn't all bad, because she found fellow fifth year, fellow O.W.L.-sufferer, and generally kind person Karleigh almost straight away. Poking her head in and smiling hopefully, Margaret greeted the other girl. "Hello! Do you want some company?" Although...was that a pygmy puff on the seat? She supposed technically Karleigh already had some company.
