Friends like Thornton...and whoever else may be dropping by.

She felt a little selfish inconveniencing his family for an entire week, but with her mum and stepdad going away on vacation and daddy in St. Mungo's she felt safest staying with a friend and not at home with her sisters as supervisors. There was too big of an age gap in pastimes.

Approaching the home alone after arriving by portkey with her step father who had taken the day off work to make sure she traveled safely, Paige clutched on to her basket of berries with such nervous force her knuckles were turning white. Breathing into her free hand for a few moments, and distracting herself by adjusting the straps on her owl shaped backpack, the Hufflepuff gave three gentle raps on the door.

Were those loud enough? Had anyone heard her?

Adelaide was never a late raiser, even on nights when she had slept late, she was always the first person up in her dorms and at home, but today she had actually slept in and it was leaving the auburn haired girl feeling fuzzy headed and drowsy as she made her way downstairs into the main parlor of the house. She had a book held loosely in her hand, her intention being to step out to the beach and get in some reading and quiet time before Thornton's friends possibly swamped the place.

Not that she wasn't keen to meet them, one friend in particular, but she needed alone time, a few moments of quiet reflection to gather herself together, but as Addie reached out for the door to step out, someone on the other side just happened to knock.

Well.
So much for that idea.

Adelaide peered through the keyhole, seeing the shape of a petite girl with adorable curls, before opening the door to the visitor. She cleared her throat and smiled softly. "Hello, you must be Paige," She said, her voice was a softly accented french that was clearly very english inspired. She moved aside, looking behind the young girl to check for luggage of any sort. "Please come in, we've been expecting you." Really, it was a bit more like curiously awaiting your arrival, or at least it was in Adelaide's case. She had heard quite a bit about Paige Skeeter from her cousin... All of it very favorable, but there was a question that needed to be answered and Addie was going to politely, gently, try and coax it out.

But not right now. "I'm Adelaide Thornton, it's very nice to meet you," she reached out to offer her hand for the girl to shake, all the while, trying not to peer too closely at her.

Sneaky, she had to be sneaky.
