Damian's anger took over her so much that she didn't even notice anything around her. She was so concentrated on the idea of suffocating the blond girl that she didn't see the blind girl's gesture to take a seat. Damian could've just concentrated on that and skipped the whole scene. She knew that she must keep a low profile around the place - it's not the Knockturn Alley anymore.
Damian saw the girl's hand reaching out towards her as the girl spoke her name. Damian took Arienna's hand in hers and softly squeezed it. The girl's skin felt soft compared to Damian's damaged skin. Actually, Damian couldn't remember a day that she wouldn't be covered in bruises. It made her hold Ari's hand even more carefully. Only then she realized that her anger was gone. She was breathing slowly, her temper was asleep and even Reaper seemed to be falling asleep on her shoulder. Damian knew he only did that when he was sure that she won't do anything reckless anytime soon. The only thing now that was left to do was introducing herself. But could she? She should've just changed her surname. She could lie, but once she's at school Arienna will hear her real name and Damian will loose the trust of the only person that was nice to her so far. Damian was even more sure than ever that no one else will be nice to her.
"Here goes nothing..." Damian whispered to herself and took a deep breath before speaking out her name out loud. "It's Damian."
She stopped. She couldn't finish. How could she if everyone thought her blood line was dead?
"It's Damian Slytherin?" it sounded more of a question to her. If she won't get more confident, she'll have to change her surname. "I'm glad to meet you, Arienna." and indeed, she could even hear gladness in her voice. How couldn't she be glad - someone spoke to her, and it wasn't actually to insult her.

The voice and name committed to memory, Ari smiled at her.

"Pleasure to meet you, Miss Slytherin," she nodded, and once again tried to patch up the awkward start to the train ride. Gesturing next to her, Ari turned her head to Zoey. "Zoey, this is Damian, Damian this is Zoey, I'm Ari, and you're not," she chuckled, almost nervously. She touched a hand to her glasses, then rested both hands back on top of her cello case. Subconsiously, Ari's mind was working over the name Slytherin in her mind. Curious. But not unheard of, she suppossed.
Zoey felt the tension in the air expand, before dieing off almost completely.

She peered around her map and looked at the girl who had once wanted to strangle her. Slytherin... wasn't that one of the house things? ... Yeah, that was the one Jimbo said he was in. Hmm... Odd for it to also be a last name. Heh, just showed how little she knew about Hogwarts. Ah, well, she'd figure it all out once she got there.

Zoey chuckled at Ari's deduction. "Indeed. I would be Zoey, not Ari." she set her magazine/map down on her lap and gave the Damian girl a sort of awkward half-smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Slytherin." she greeted, before picking her magazine/map up again.
