It wasn't obvious? Well... that was good. Right? Was it..? Maybe. Derry's head was still in Wonderland. She wondered if it was really uncool to have tea parties at Hogwarts... maybe she should wait until she had friends before she suggested it. Was she too old for tea parties? She didn't care. She wanted one... ooooh she could make that lavender lemonade that her mum made for her when she'd been riding all day.
Derry, West Odesssssssssa is talking to you, pay attention. Where did she come from? "Um, Edinburgh actually..." Wasn't it obvious..? Or maybe she hadn't spoke enough for him to get her accent... Her dad had brought her to London to buy her school stuff and to get the train, because he said she had to even though they were from Scotland. Something about meeting people... "My dad used to teach me magic at home..." She didn't mention the fact she also had to go to muggle school sometimes... she got the feeling it would seem weird to magical people...
"Oh you were homeschooled." That had been the part he was looking for, really.
"I been at Hogwarts since my first year." So he supposed that made him about as expert as he was going to get.
"But my dad teaches me lots of stuff too." Grin. He was cheering up a bit, even if this Derry girl was a bit soft spoken. She was still nice to talk to and a good distraction.
"How come you're finally allowed to come to Hogwarts? I mean you look around my ageish."
