You must try the mashed potatoes.' she said encouragingly.
'I'm Ariadne, by the way. What's your name?' she inquired. 'Have you seen our House ghost? I wonder why he's called Nearly Headless Nick. Nearly Headless.' the girl added, sounding a bit like a know-it-all. Then again, she was one.
'Nice to meet you, Rosemary.' Ari replied with a friendly smile plastered on her face. She doubted that the girl's name was just Rosemary, but decided not to push on that.
'Happy to be a Gryffindor?' she attempted at conversation once more. 'I know I am, but I'm not sure about my family, though. They've been in Ravenclaw for generations. 'What about your family?' Ariadne hoped Rose wouldn't mind being asked rather more personal questions.
"Almost all Gryffindor, some Ravenclaw the odd couple in Slytherin.... None in Hufflepuff....." Rosemary smiled, "My family's proud that I followed my Great Grandmother...." She smiled as she straightened, extremely proud of her lineage but not too proud that she became Slytherin.
