"Oh, you're from the states too?!" Alice responded to Dallin's transferring. So...this was his first year here. Good to know she wasn't going crazy. "I'm from a very small, very tight knit muggle community in Virginia. I was going to go to Merlin's but my dad thought it would be a good idea for me to come to Europe...you know, see what the rest of the world is like."

Alice noticed the same thick branches that moved the same time Dallin did...perhaps they always moved like that? "I'm a second year," Alice said, glad to have Dallin's question distract her from how creepy that branch had been.
Dallin had a quick mental image of a killer tree rampaging through Hogwarts, and frowned. Then, realizing how ridiculous he was, he laughed. "Yes, that would be extremely creepy." As if a moving tree wasn't creepy enough.

His eyes widened at the 'too' at the end of her question. He was about to ask where she was from, but she continued on her own. He nodded slowly as she talked. He'd never been to Virginia, but he had passed through it before on a road trip once. "I went there for four years." he told Alice, talking about Merlin's. "But last summer I convinced my parents to let me come here."

His eyes moved back to the tree, then quickly away again. He'd have to get closer to it sometime, when he felt braver. "I'm from Florida," he said, looking over at Alice again. He thought that since she told him where she lived, it would be nice if he told her, too. If she even cared. "I live in Tampa, right now. Big town, so I really don't know about the muggle-slash-wizard population." Since it was a big town, he would be willing to guess that there were a lot of both. "I'm muggle-born, though."
