Ooh Twizzlers? "Oh, sure! Thanks," he replied. Sure they weren't chocolate... But any candy is still good candy! So he'd totally go for it.

Alabama? "Isn't that in the United States?" he questioned curiously. Thank goodness he payed attention in geography before he came to Hogwarts. It was one subject that actually seemed to still be useful around here. "Er, what brings you all the way over here?" Most people around Hogwarts were british, scottish, irish, and occasionally some french Beauxbatons transfers. But you rarely ever get any Americans.

Emmylou, even her name sounded all pretty and exotic. "I'm Zander, it's.. It's nice to meet you," he smiled shyly.

The blonde took another Twizzler out of the bag and popped it in her mouth and took a few bites. Why was candy so good? Emmylou was starting to think that she was addicted to candy. Nah, never. She wasn't addicted to candy she just liked it a lot. "You're welcome." Emmylou smiled brightly at him. She set the bag of Twizzlers aside and looked around in her backpack for more candy. Emmylou took out chocolate frogs, jolly ranchers, gummy worms, gummy dinosaurs, sour patch kids and some pop rocks. The blonde loved muggle candy just as much as she loved wizarding candy.

It surprised Emmylou that some people wondered where Alabama was but at the same time it didn't surprise her at all. It was confusing to her but she thought that it must be very confusing to them as well. Emmylou nodded. "It's in the southern United States." The third year lioness smiled. "I actually transferred from Beauxbatons but my parents wanted me to attend Hogswarts just like they did."

"Nice to meet you, Zander."
