That's the joys of being one of the few students around here from North America, when people hear me speak; I stick out like a sore thumb." Matt was used to being a bit different though, he wasn't the normal surfer from California; there was so much more to him that not many people knew about him. His life was a constant defiance of stereotypes.
Sophia chuckled. She knew exactly what it felt like to stick out. There were very few students at Hogwarts from Italy, so she really stood out.
"I like the American accent." she said, shrugging. But, that probably because she wasn't American.
"Now, the Italian accent, on the other hand, can get mildly annoying." she said. She heard them ALL the time, so it was nice to get to hear a bunch of new things.
"So I forgot to mention that I am a third year Gryffindor." she said, beaming. She was so proud to be a Gryffindor, because her father was one too.
