He smiled and was just about to respond when her bag fell over and things began to fall out. He stood and knelt down and picked up her things for her, gently putting them back in her bag and placing it in a more safe position at her feet.
He had not even gotten a good look at her, but he did look up and smile at her now, His perfect white smile gleaming. "Oui-erm I mean yes, I am alone. My name is Rob and You are welcome to join me." he replied, taking his seat next to her.
"Thanks!" She laughed as she watched him sit alongside her. She had never seen this boy around before, although she was reasonably unknown herself. Her parents had only just been convinced to send her to Hogwarts after four years of home-schooling.
Her parents were very much free-spirited.
They hadn't wanted her to be confined to a school environment as they hadn't thought she'd blossom to her full potential there, which in some senses was totally understandable. But she'd seriously craved the social interaction with other teenagers, she'd wanted to learn far more than they could ever teach her about the world of magic and so eventually they had given into what she wanted. She really appreciated it as she knew how much letting her go was going to be hard for them. She'd been such a constant in their lives that she was certain it'd be strange back home without her. Although they tended to move around a lot anyhow, they'd probably be far too preoccupied with all of that to think too much about missing their only daughter.
"It's lovely to meet you Rob, I'm Isla. Isla Harrington," she smiled at him again, as cheerily as ever. She was very cheery, there wasn't often a time that she'd be seen without a smile on her face. She liked to have a very positive outlook on life. However, she did have rather a feisty side and wasn't afraid of speaking her mind if it was needed. She'd found herself getting into rather a few scuffles back home in the village because of this side constantly resurfacing.
"So, do you go to Hogwarts? I'm starting in September. I'm so excited about it! I've been home-schooled. Well, as best as my parents could possibly have done," she laughed as she fiddled with the straw in her drink before taking another sip.
