"Well, right now, they live in the U.S. ... in Ohio. Not a very exciting place. They're like business people, though, and they travel a lot, so they know people all over the U.S.," she explained in a matter-of-fact tone. Sutton tried not to think about her parents much because she was never sure if she missed them or not. Had they sent her away to school two years ago, she'd probably be so homesick for them, but now... Well, they were her parents, and she loved them, and they loved her... yes... that is what she always told herself.
Sutton nodded some more in understanding as he explained about having to move to stay with his parents. "Well, I'm really glad that you got to come here this year," she said in a quiet voice, looking up at him with a warm expression in her green eyes.
The U.S.? Ed stared at her in amazement and put his hands into his pockets. "Wow, that's... wow." What could he say to that? He was surprised at their jobs and that they'd sent her from America! "Would I be right in assuming they're muggles?"
He looked at her once more with a content smile. "Thanks. Me too. I've already met some awesome people, like yourself, for instance." It was everything he'd hoped it would be. And a little bit more.
