Linden seemed surprised which made Allison laugh genuinely. "Something like that," she said tilting her head to the side and shrugging. She couldn't really say that she had chosen to live by herself. Her parents had disagreed, but there was something about Allison that scared them. Even her parents knew there was something very wrong with their daughter. Not only had she embraced the Bathory family name, but she seemed to have more in common with their infamous ancestor than anyone else. Some people even accused her of being the Countess' reincarnation. Had not her parents seen her birth themselves, they would most likely believe she was the actual Countess, living this entire time through the blood of virgins. Or some similar superstition.
"Yes, all girls," she smiled at Linden. Allison had the tendency to flirt when certain subjects came up, but this wasn't the right place or time. Besides, Allison thought more of Linden. He was thoroughly a good person, based on Allisons assumptions. Whatever Allison had to bring, he didn't deserve it. "I'm glad I didn't go. I like Hogwarts much better," she stated. "When-- I.. attended. I, uh, I liked it." She said quickly trying to recover.
Allison watched Linden talk and found herself looking at him curiously when he became excited about his Patronus. He was like a child who had found a treasure. Allison leaned back on her arms again and tilted her head to the side, resting it on her shoulder as she watched. He hadn't bothered to wait for her response, which amused Allison even more. When the light burst from his wand, Allison's eyes sparkled as if the very light reflected on her eyes. Following the dragonfly patronus with her eyes, she began to feel more at ease. It was the same feeling she would get when she'd watch fish swim around in an aquarium or watch birds fly as she floated in the air on her broom. She found something enchanting about creatures that flew and swim. They had such freedom away from the land. Where as she had to depend on a broom to be free of the Earths gravity. "It's breathtaking," she said with a smile.
Her eyes turned to Linden. A tight, almost sad, smile appeared on her face as she shook her head. "No," she said, "I never learned. Bad student I suppose." The truth, her teachers had not taught the Patronus, yet. Even if they had, Allison was sure she wouldn't get it. After all, she had never had a happy memory.
