A question occurs to me - what were they supposed to do?

The only known adult on the train is the witch who brings the trolley 
round.   We assume a driver, but whether the driver is a witch/wizard 
or something else, we do not know - and in any case, presumably the 
driver is busy driving the train.   The trolley witch might be capable 
of detangling the effects of five intermixed hexes, or she might not.  
At any rate, there is no medi-wizard aboard.  Nor is there, in any 
practical sense, an authority figure.

So it might well be that there is no useful help to be had for Draco 
and his boys until the train arrives at Kings Cross...
