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.
Rob found himself somehow drawn to this girl. He could not explain it , and truth be told he was not ready to even begin to try to label what he was feeling. He was more the go with the flow type and nowhere near as buttoned-up as Grandfather Rowan and Grandmother Isabella. He guessed that perhaps, maybe, he had gotten that part of who he was from Dallas. the truth was He loved his mum and his sister Emilie to death, but he had no respect for his father, mainly because when Rob was little, Dallas was never around.

However, that being said, he was finding himself more and more glad that he had followed Grandfather's wishes and moved in with his parents. If he had not, he would still be at Beauxbatons now, and he felt more and more that that would have been a huge mistake. Now, having listened to Isla; He was certain of it. The fact was that he was glad to be going to Hogwarts and that it meant that he'd not only be closer to mum and Emilie, but it also mean life experiences that he would have probably missed out on before. He took another sip of his butterbeer.

He smiled at her, he liked her cheery nature, but he could sense that there was more than that. The same was with him. For the most part he was kind and mellow, but deep inside broiled a fierce anger that came out at times, and a sullenness and rebellious streak also, both of which he tried to suppress because they were more of this father's characteristics coming out in him.

"It's nice to meet you too Isla." He flashed her another of his grins, then blushed a bit. "I forgot to give you my Surname. It's Triton. And yes, I will be attending Hogwarts, I recently moved here from paris and transferred from Beauxbatons."
