If that is true, then how did you get here? You couldn't have Apparated such an immense distance. You'd have died.
Everdale is rural in a different way, not like our country estates. It's preferable to the alternatives, though. There is something nice about the place.
You don't need to worry over me, sir. I intend to go home, and I'm set on it, but I'll manage well enough in the meantime. I'm used to being away from my parents at school.
