She hadn't been about to leave South America just so her babies could be close to her own parents, so they had compromised by living near Gabe's siblings.

Juniper nodded as Mariel explained the youth Quidditch event. She was sure her family would enjoy the event, it was just a matter of making it fit in their schedule. Hmm, Mariel's children seemed a bit young to have playdates with her own children. Six-year-old boys didn't get along great with four-year-old girls, she knew from experience with her own children and her niece. But Mariel's children weren't going to Hogwarts? Juniper found that odd since she worked for the Ministry. But who was she to judge? "We had originally planned to send them to Castelobruxo, since it's such a great school, but things changed," she explained vaguely. "I think we'll still send them to Castelobruxo on exchange, though, I did that towards the end of my schooling and it was incredibly rewarding." And then she had just... stayed in South America. Because the plants were so great. "It seems like you have plenty of time to decide where to send them, though!"

Well, it really was a small world, wasn't it? Though as Juniper spoke about it, Mariel realized that they were probably there at different times. Still, it would have been interesting to have run into each other while there. "So what brought you back to England then?" Certainly not to just get a job with the Ministry here as it sounded like she had a decent job back there, so she figured she must have a story. There had been a reason for Mariel to return this way after years in another country as well, but she didn't find it necessary to mention.

Castelobruxo, yes, Mariel knew of that school and she nodded at the mention, having had it on her mind recently. "Oh, you went there?" She hadn't realized that, though she knew her and Juniper's years at Hogwarts overlapped for a short time. A year or two perhaps. And it had been a while ago for her to remember all that clearly anyway. She briefly wondered how much it would have changed her life if she had been spent time there instead of Durmstrang when she did, but she knew that didn't matter now. "Castelobruxo is actually on the short list for my children also. I had thought about looking into it, but there is also the Spanish school my husband went to." It was a smaller school, but she thought it was good enough for him and his side of the family. Though they did have residence in Brazil, so it was still up in the air. And it was good to hear another person call it a great school. "But yes, you are right. There is still a little bit of time to decide yet."
