Well, either that, or the girl was a really, really intelligent first year to have taught that to herself. But, well, they weren't sorted to Ravenclaw for nothing.

"Hi." Brielle blurted out, before even thinking. Then her face reddened deeply. She wasn't used to speaking to people older than her--if the girl really was. "I--I mean," she hesitated, then smiled instead. "I'm Brielle," she decided, extending out her hand. Well, she might as well meet new people... besides, she needed to talk to somebody while waiting for the food.



"Wow! What's it like in Canada?" she asked, clearly interested. "Ah, well, books are pretty useful." she giggled. "And at least you've got your parents to teach you so many amazing stuff!"
Alice smiled, why was it that when she mentioned her country that everyone got so interested, was she really the only Canadian in the lot? "Well, there is a lot of forests, and prairies, in the north there is a lot of snow. But I come from Prince Edward Island where the dirt is red and the potatoes are amazing!" Alice said laughing. Then Alice said "Well actually my parents have full time jobs, and by full time I really mean full time. We are the representational family for the Victorian Historical Society. They started a few years before I was born so when I was born I was automatically raised Victorian or, well, as Victorian as you can get nowadays." Alice said smiling.

"So, as I was saying, I always had to make my own fun and do things on my own. We have a library room in my house and I spend half of the day in there reading, the other half outside or helping mother and father give tours of the house and to explain Victorian life. I am so used to seeing tourists upon tourists upon TOURISTS!" she said laughing, "In prince Edward Island, at least my part, Cavendish, most of the tourists are Japanese, which has given me a love for the Japanese culture. I usually play with the children when they come for a tour because my parents invite the parents for tea usually."
