 You twoooo :3 SUMMER FOREVER
Etta couldn't help but laugh out really loud at Olivia's reaction! "Yes! I didn't stay there for very long since my dad got transferred soon after but... yeah. There aren't many Kiwi's around here, are they?" Etta hadn't met anyone yet, anyway. But she still felt sad about moving away from New Zealand. She had such fond memories of her time spent there. She grinned teasingly before speaking again. "Exactly. I can't believe we were practically neighbours at one point." Such a great coincidence right? Right. France? Wow. Etta looked quite impressed by the time Olivia had finished speaking. "That's so amazing though.. You must have gotten to travel around quite a bit, yes?" Because Europe really was fantastic. Her parents had taken her there a few times and Etta loved it there. Especially the food. It was always about the food with her, ahem. "Of course! It was great. Very quiet and peaceful.. and I had gotten to make quite a few friends too before we moved to Ireland. Did you never visit NZ before?"
.... Etta was glad they'd moved on from the subject of her cousins. Phew. She didn't really like talking about them much, so she was glad Olivia understood. She suddenly wondered if Olivia had a nickname? Most people had one, didn't they? Or maybe she liked being called Olivia? She mentally shrugged, thinking
that was a question for later. "What's your mum like?" Etta asked, settling down more comfortably on the sand. She really had the best mum though. Her mum was less like her mum and more like her best friend, really. Etta was lucky that way.
The Hufflepuff nodded in respose to Olivia's question. "Of course! It is definitely intimidating.. I've never really interacted with so many people before. It's weird but so awesome at the same time. I'm happy to be here, I have a feeling that it's going to be a great experience." She could already tell. Wasn't she already having fun? She missed home but she was really starting to like it here. Ok so, Etta had a couple of questions to Olivia's response. "What's the age difference between you two?" Her brother was seven years older than her but he never let her feel that age gap between them. He was awesome. ".. did you want to be a Slytherin?"
Etta listened to Jacob talk for a bit, a little glad that he didn't look quite-so-awkward anymore. Waiiiit. "Do you miss America?" Etta asked, giving the boy a smile. "I mean, it must be quite a change for you right?" That really must be difficult. She wanted to ask a couple more questions but decided against it for now.
"Moving around was... great? My parents like to travel so I always got to see new places but moving to such a big school, away from my family, was a little hard at first but it's getting better now. Don't be scared though.. You'll be alright here. You'll get used to it." Etta spoke, giving him a comforting smile.
