Forrest almost FELT someone looking at him, and upon turning his head he found the girl.

...she wasn't offended by his 'blood' question, was she?

Waving at her, he smiled shakily.

"I'm... Forrest." Best way to start a conversation and find out what was wrong, no?

Giving the boy a smile, “Well Forrest your in for many surprises then if your muggleborn.” She had remembered all too well the surprises of first term. “Well I am actually half blood to be correct, but I consider myself muggleborn, because I never knew I was a witch. My mother was from a pureblood family, but decided to be muggle when she married my dad. They didn’t tell me anything about it until I was 10. So when I came here I knew nothing.” Hoping he would see there was nothing to worry about and she was even proud of the part of her that was muggle.



"You're from the US originally?" Forrest blurted out. He didn't even have time to realise this was probably rude. He knew via Amelia that Australia's wizarding school wasn't as good, but it was surprising to see someone from the US. Maybe she had to. He shrugged to himself. It wasn't his place to jump to conclusions anyway.

...why would someone with magical ability want to live as a muggle? Wizards had the same technology and even better opportunities, no?

"Yes, I'm surprised about many things," he admitted distractedly, still thinking about her mother. But it'd be utterly rude to question her decision, so...

..."Which grade are you?" To decide whether to be more respectful, or on the friendlier side and all.

"I'm a pureblood"she countered to his statement of his blood with a shrug, personally she was sick of the whole old, honourable family stuff! However, because she probably confused the poor boy earlier because he wouldn't know much about the magical world she decided that she might as well backtrack a bit.

"So is there anything you'd like to know about the Wizarding world? In fact what do you know so far?" yes, knowing how much he actually knew would be a good start.

And being the nice little witch she was she could probably answer any questions he threw at her!



Pureblood. Yeah. Forrest'd have liked that, so he wouldn't have to deal with being surprised at the smallest wizard thing. He was silent for a moment, listening to his stomach's grumbling. Would they eat any time soon?

She didn't hear that LOUUUUUD noise, did she? 'Cos that'd be pretty embarrassing.

So, he'd better speak to drown the noise.

"Well, I, uh..." He frowned some more as he looked in front of him. "What are house elves?" Might as well start with that.
