And speaking of his old school, Belle seemed to be quite interested in it. "Yeah," he shrugged casually since it wasn't really a big deal to him. "I went there up until about a week ago... Nothing exciting, really," he added, somewhat curious why anyone would find his previous school interesting. "Just another school, like this one." Although they weren't exactly the same, Ethan did find a lot of similarities between the schools... so far, at least.

"I guess my family does travel a lot,"
he added after a moment's thought. Ethan hadn't thought about it much before, but he guessed he was pretty lucky to be able to visit a lot of countries. "I've never heard of that place before though," the Ravenclaw said, trying to place her accent. It did sound American so he figured that must be where she was from. "Is that in the US?" he asked. "That's one country I've never been. Is it much different than Britain?" Or any part of Europe, he wondered as that's where he spent most of his life. "Are you Muggle-born?" he also wondered aloud, being that she did say 'from the Muggle world.' Muggle life was fairly fascinating to Ethan, especially their 'technology' and the ways they got around without magic.
Belle got the hint that Ethan thought his school was nothing special. "Oh i am sorry i am just curious because i never really traveled to other schools. I know it might be amazing in my point of view." Belle shrugged and she starting pacing in the owlery.
When Ethan mentioned a comment about her hometown Lawrence, Belle smiled and said, "Yes Lawrence Kansas is in the United States. Which is why i sound american to you." Belle blushed with pride. "It is a nice little town and i learned and still do learn a lot actually."
When Ethan asked about Kansas being different to Britain, Belle could only guess her ideas. "Well since i have never been to Britain, i would say the food would be much different. The muggle food in the country side is great. It makes you feel at home which i do miss sometimes....." Belle's eyes began to fill with tears and she turned her head. She hated people seeing her cry.
A few seconds later, when he asked if Belle was muggle born, she blinked away her tears and she replied, "Well i am not a pure muggle, i am half blood. My mom is the witch in my the family and my dad is the muggle. Which is why i know so much about the muggle world." she grinned. "But how about you Ethan, are you a muggle? What is it like in Britain? Do you have an siblings back home?" Belle asked.
