Yes. She was.
"I haven't been here long, but I think the line should move fairly quickly," Schuyler answered, glancing up at the lady who was selling the treats. Trolley Lady looked like she meant business. Her eyes returned to the new girl behind her, and Schuyler smiled at her exuberant 'hi!'. "Hey." Might as well make another Hogwarts acquaintance while she was at it, right? "I'm Schuyler Emmons, new to Hogwarts and England and all that." As evidenced by her American accent.
YAY! Someone who was social and actually talked to people. Awesome. Cassia just aborted her plan of going back to the luggage compartment. There was a girl who was willing to talk here. You don't find that everyday nowadays. Sad times they were living. "
That's good," She nodded approvingly at the lady. Keep it up, woman! Though, now that she had company, the snake didn't mind standing here for a while. Sitting for all the ride to Hogwarts wasn't that comfy. You might not feel your butt. She wasn't going to share that piece of info with anyone though.
They were being introduced!!
A huge smile spread on the blond's face as Schuyler introduced her firstname, lastname and her birth place. Can she hug the girl? No? Creepy? Okay, she'll wait. "
Nice to meet you," She responded. "
I'm Cassia...Somerlad." She pronounced her last name a bit slowly. Because there was a certain Professor who pronounced it wrong!
ProffRomanos. Not that it was hard. "
Oh, you're new!" Not a question, just a reaction. "
Well, welcome to Hogwarts." And if she learned anything from her last encounter, it was not to say anything about the school. Nope. No scaring new students.
She hesitated then asked, "
Were you home-schooled," She was forming an idea about those actually.
