I guess she didn't bother to switch out," she said smiling. Ahhh Gram. Who else would constantly switch out her accents depending on who she was talking to for fun? Okay, now it was Tora's turn for a question. "Where do you live?" she asked.That question prompted more to come bubbling up in Tora's mind... But they could wait!
The cat meowed up at the stranger petting her, but after a moment she arched her back and settled down, a purr rumbling in her throat. The stranger could be trusted, at least for now, because she had to admit the petting did feel really nice.
Isobel winced slightly at the usage of the term British accent: yup, she was clearly American on some level.
"Oh, that's cool." Wait, hold on, that made no sense.
"I'm pretty sure America doesn't have a Ministry..." If she remembered correctly, they had some sort of Department of Magic. She'd never been very interested in politics.
"Tinworth," she said, before remembering that a tiny little village by the coast might not be recognisable, especially to a (partially?) American girl.
"It's near Cornwall, a half-magical village." Most of her friends were witches, with just a few muggles. Unfortunately, she was the only Hogwarts first year she knew, apart from Tora of course.
