It wasn't fair that either her friends had tried to write and her parents hadn't sent the letters, or her friends just hadn't bothered. His mood changed dramatically at hearing this.
Looking up at her, he just had to smile once more. "I hope you will. I've wanted to come here for so long." A satisfied sigh escaped him before he turned back around. "I was at Durmstrang for six years." Now he was waiting for the most basic 'but you don't sound like you're from there. I thought you were English' comment.
Sutton kept silent about his reaction to her parents for a few seconds before responding apathetically.
"They just think life would be easier for me if I was normal... whatever that means. I never felt normal my whole life until I came here, but they didn't realize how it would be, I guess. I finally convinced them to let me go to a magic school, and here I am. They said that they thought this would be the best school for me, but I think they just wanted to send me somewhere that no one they knew would see me..." she finished with a sigh and a roll of her eyes. Her parents were... something.
As he explained that he'd been at Durmstrang, she nodded. It seemed silly that his parents had sent him all the way to Durmstrang when they could have sent him to a school right in Britain, but then again... Sutton was here instead of at Salem.
"Why'd they send you all the way to Durmstrang?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
