It never made much sense to her that even the residents of Hogsmeade were expected to escort their children to and from King's Cross stations in London. She thought it was a waste of time when the students who lived in the village could easily walk to the castle themselves. The argument was always made that riding aboard the Hogwarts Express was a rite of passage for all young witches and wizards. It would be unfair to deny some of the students the privilege simply because of where their parents chose to live. Regardless, she didn't see why she needed to be there to pick Oliver up with Antonin. He was perfectly capable of doing it on his own. After all, he was by himself when he took him there at the beginning of the school year.
