She had? It was his turn to be impressed further. "I went to Kazakhstan and Afghanistan to study ancient potions, and once my studies were done, I had more studying opportunities. So I stayed and I met a woman." He looked away. Somehow he looked sadder, even though he tried his best to hide it. "I got married to her," he said directly as nonchalantly as he could, but if she looked closer, she could tell there were some deep emotions there. "But it didn't work out, so here I am." He smiled then, and his mood was back to 'casually gloomy' again.
"Why did you come here instead of Durmstrang, if I may ask?" He wouldn't mind it if she said he may not, though. He wasn't sout about those kind of things.
A Slytherin, he must be right at home down there in the dungeons then.
Dora listened to him explain the reasons for him being so far from Scotland back in his youth she assumed it to be, when he started to mention a woman. The change in his expression didn't go unnoticed by Dora, but she wasn't one to pry on these things unless it concerned someone she cared about deeply.
"They have excellent potion's masters down in Kazakhstan. I've not delved too deeply into ancient ones, but it is part of my studies." Ancient studies being one of the few classes she was taking this year. That was the only comment she'd say on that though.
"All of my family went there, and still goes there." She shrugged nonchalantly.
"I wanted to go someplace apart from them. Someplace of my own, and I Hogwarts is the best so it's to here I came." Dora got what she wanted too, with no regrets considering the friends she'd made while here.
