Twisting the ring on her right index finger around, the American nodded at the younger girls question nervously. "Yeah, we moved to London at the beginning of summer." So she was just as lost around here as the first year, if not more: people her age had their friendships and their groups and it was really difficult trying to fit in. And the IMPS was seriously not helping. "I.. I guess it's not as big or fancy as it is here, and the food is different. Everything seems more... Serious here," she shrugged. "Less laid back." About school work, and the exams. But, at the same time, people were way less dramatic.
"You're totally right... I mean, I wouldn't say 'family' just yet," Flick said with a small smile, genuine warmth towards Rayna. "But it's true that everyone is, like, really lovely."
"That is hard." Rayna said, she certainly had no room to complain about just missing her parents. Moving to another country entirely would be entirely overwhelming.
"Where in London do you live?" She asked. Now curious as to where her schoolmate's home was. Maybe make
her feel better now.
"My family lives in Hampstead. It's part of Camden. I love it there. Lots of things to see...quite a charming area if I'm being honest." Truthfully, Rayna couldn't see herself living anywhere else. At least for the next, maybe, ten years or so.
She couldn't help but smile at Felicity's comments about Hogwarts , and Rayna'd completely stopped filling in her page with colors at this point.
"Hogwarts seems fancy? Well, I suppose living in a castle is a bit elaborate." The girl actually let out a chuckle. She hadn't considered how it must seem to others before.... The fact that students are housed for most of the year, and attend classes in a rather ancient castle.
Rayna gave a small nod,
"Mhm. I've yet to meet someone that has been rude. Even the students in the other houses are nice." She felt a warmth come over her, realizing that, yes, she was pretty lucky to be in such a place.
"My best friend is from another house actually. Gryffindor." Had she just said that? A sudden realization came to her and her eyes widened a little bit. But her expression quickly softened again.
'Hm. Guess I hadn't considered that until now.'
