(OOC: Sorry for the delay, I'd meant to post 6, 7 hours ago, bu got side tracked)<br/><br/><strong>Monica Nguyen</strong><br/><br/>The new student absently continued scratching Yowl as they talked.<br/><br/>"Interesting . . . I've never lived with other people before," she said, "except my family."  Obviously!  Duh.  "Doesn't the American version of the Ministry set requirements for what's taught in schools?  Or set tests?  A friend said that's all the Ministry here does with Hogwarts."  She'd probably heard wrong, though.  She'd been lucky enough to grow up around a couple other wizarding families, so she kind of had to be friends with the only other roughly kid her age.  There really weren't any other options, except becoming totally anti-social.
