Tallie sat down at the chair Wes offered her with a grateful grin and fiddled nervously with the scarf in her lap, feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the attention. They were all so nice - not that she hadn't expected them to be, of course, but she was flattered by the warm welcome.
"Hello," Tallie replied a little shyly to Parvati, smiling at her. She was conscious of wanting to create a good first impression, and not embarrassing Wes at all in front of his mum. "Oh, I'm fine, thank you," she said, blushing, when she was asked whether she wanted anything to eat, not wanting to be a nuisance. She thought idly to herself what a shock Wes would get if he were to visit her house: she couldn't imagine her mum offering anyone, not even her best muggle friend, Will, any sort of food or drink (can't you just get it yourself? I'm far too busy, she would tell Tallie before retreating to her study or the university).
"I live down in Surrey, so it is quite a trek," Tallie said with a small laugh, remembering her early start on the train that morning. It hadn't been too bad though, if not as luxurious as the comparably smart Hogwarts Express. After she spoke she glanced over at Wes, as if to say, am I doing okay?, and quietly thanked Lalita for the glass of water, taking a small sip.
