Meer, an Irvingly resident, had obviously not come on the train. Rather, she had met her group at the station, and found to her chagrin that it included her brother-in-law. Ffss. On her back she had a pack full of easily-kept snack, flasks of water, and a significant portion of muggle medical supplies. (Having worked at the infirmary for so long, she'd learned quite a bit!)

Once they reached the marker, she shrugged her shoulders. "I'd be interested to see what's going on at the lake," Meer said. There was something off about this atmosphere, and Lake Greer was the largest landmark anywhere near the woods.
