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."
"Oh! Beauxbatons? I absolutely adore France! Are your family French then? Are you fluent in the language? We lived there for just about a year in a small town named Eguisheim. It was the most beautiful place! There wasn't much there to do for me, but it was absolutely gorgeous. It was like something you'd find in a wonderful fairy-tale book! We tend to move around an awful lot. I think that when I start at Hogwarts, it'll probably be the longest stretch of time that I've ever spent in one place!"
She stopped speaking briefly, thank goodness he was still listening to her rambling. "It's absolutely crazy really, but I've enjoyed all of the travelling we've done. It's been incredible and I'm so thankful to my parents for the opportunities that they've given me. They're kinda... free-spirited. They always have been the 'go with the flow type'," she laughed. "I suppose Hogwarts will be a massive change what with all of the rules and stuff but I'm sure I'll adjust in time."
Isla smiled at him as she took yet another sip of her cherry drink. Blimey, it really was awfully sweet! Not that she honestly minded, she had a serious mad sweet tooth and was constantly craving chocolate and sweets. They were two things that really weren't so good for her figure but she wasn't too fussed about that.
She was perfectly comfortable as she was and she'd never had any complaints about the way that she looked. She was extremely confident, which was probably a good thing. She could be vain at times though, and she knew it. It was something she saw as somewhat of a flaw.
