He noticed her Texas accent and raised one eyebrow interested. American? Was she? Was she?! "I'm from New York." he nodded his head his accent drifting through his words. "Well originally from here but moved when I was younger." His life story in Cliff Note's version. It was kind of useful to be able to switch from his british to his american accent.
"Really you studied abroad?" he asked moving forward slightly in the line before turning to her again. "Beauxbatons or something?" Because every transfer he had met was from either Beauxbatons or Durmstrang, not that surprising perhaps but still.
He noticed her longing look at the trolley and followed her gaze towards it. It took a lot of his willpower to fight the urge to just push some firsties out of the way to get his stuff. Come on, couldn't they had decided what to pick when they were still in the line and not deciding at the front. They were so slooow. "I actually thought that I would be among the first ones here." he admitted absently.
Satine's face lit up when he said New York, "
O my....you're American? I'm from Texas originally and I love love love New York!!!" she said shaking her head slightly.
"We just moved to London before my first year here..but we got back and visit constantly...I love everything about America!" she finished as she played with some coins in her hand.
"
Yes, I was accepted into a program that let me travel to different schools for one year. I got to spend about 8 weeks at teach school. I did do some time at Durmstrang and Beuxbaton, but I also went to the Wizarding School in America, Africa, Australia, and even Antartica." she said shivering remembering that horrible stint of 9 weeks.
She focused back in on his voice, "
Yes this is usually my first stop. I love love love licorice wands and the wands from the Trolley just taste different than from anywhere else! They are just scrumdilyumptuos!" she said fighting the urge to lick her lips.
"So, do you know what house you want to be sorted into? I mean Ravvis is pretty amazing... " she said with a wink.
