"I'm also looking forward to Defence Against the Dark Arts and Charms..."
'Ah, I read that too, just forgot to mention it.' Ariadne nodded.
'Turn a book into a snake? Wow!' the girl was shocked, the outbursts of magic she had had before coming to Hogwarts couldn't even compare to that.
'Everyone is looking forward to those.' Ari smiled.
'I'm curious about everything, to be honest.Did you bring a pet here?' the girl asked, trying to figure out what animals would be coming to the Gryffindor rooms, making sure no one would harm her cat, Pluto. But come to think of it, it was more likely for Pluto to harm someone else's pet than the other way around. If any Gryffindor owned a mouse or rat, they were doomed.

Mmmmmhh...
The blonde decided to just take a seat and wait for someone to appear.Surely no one would mind if she sat down at the Gryffindor table would they?!Shrugging,the third year plopped down on a seat and poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice.Yuum.
Who could be that glamorous girl who just sat down at our table? Ariadne wondered, and quickly realised it was her Slytherin friend, Fee. The girl practically ran to the blonde and gave her a big bear hug. Well, as big as such a tiny person could.
'Fee! Did you see me up there, with the Sorting Hat?' she asked, enthusiastically.
'I'm thrilled to be a Gryffie.' the girl stated the obvious.
'You look very pretty, as always.' she commented on Fee's appearance.
'How was the rest of your summer, did you do anything interesting?' Ari wanted to know.
'I went swimming with my uncle and spent some time with my Muggle friends, but didn't do much all in all.' Quote:

He grimaced; "My sister's sick was fluorescent green...It went everywhere." He shuddered; he didn't feel so hungry anymore... "My dad isn't much better..." Cheese and crackers was all he could make, and even that was pushing it. "But me?" He puffed out his chest, pushing his fear away with his newfound sense of arrogance. It burnt through his nerves, so he rode it. Anything to stop his incessant jittering. "Well, I'm pretty amazing at cooking, if I do say so myself." Eh. Amazing was pushing it. But still, he winked, trying to soften the blow of his sudden...well, stuck-up-ishness.
He frowned, thinking. "Well...If you ever need a hand in the cooking department, let me know." He smiled at her, quite properly this time and took another mouthful of his food.
"Got a younger sister, and two older brothers." he said between bites. "Ah, you're lucky. Trust me." Matt shook his head. Siblings were hell sometimes, specially since he was the middle child - he always seemed to go unnoticed, which, actually, he rather liked; he could cause all sorts of mischief without being blamed for it. "Why don't you ask your parents if you can have a younger sister or brother?" he asked, frowning slightly. Wouldn't that be the obvious thing to do?
Leaning back in his seat slightly, the first signs of fatigue clinging to his eyelids, he sunk into the gentle warmth of his robes. Ahh, Gryffindor. He was so happy, so honoured. He sniffed and itched his nose. "They were ok... The lake's pretty pretty." he said, blinking. Matt laughed at this; "Seriously?" He shook his head. "Naa, nothing that interesting. Just a couple of owls fighting over a frog. But that would've been hilarious to watch... Wish I was around back then." he said, grinning with an unearthed amusement.
The Gryffindor blushed a little, the welcomed drug of arrogance slowly wearing off as the fact that Ari (finally, a name), was a girl. A girl girl. A girl girl girl girl girl girl. Ow. *hides*
"Um. Yeah. Don't worry about it." He ran his hand through his hair, attempting to hide the reddening of his cheeks. The corners of his lips turned upwards, "Nice to meet you, Ari."
Ariadne raised an eyebrow at the boy's highly descriptive depiction of his sister's reaction to their mother's cooking.
'Did I really have to know that?' she asked, laughing. The girl was thinking that probably she didn't need to eat that last pastry after all, not after the recent description. A wide grin spread over her face, lightening up her features.
'Merlin's beard! You can cook? That's unbelievable.' Ari gasped, in admiration.
'Then, by all means, help me, anyone should be more authorised than my mum to give lessons in that department.' she chuckled.
'Three siblings, cool. Which of them do you get along better with?' she was curious to know. And then the innocent question, but which had a deeper meaning for Ari.
Why didn't she ask her parents for a sibling? Well, because 'her parents' only included her mum. However, it made no sense to start narrating her family drama to a boy she had just met, so after a rather long pause she replied sheepishly:
'Oh, yes, I should do that, shouldn't I?' 'Tired?' Ariadne asked Matt, hoping he wouldn't consider this an intrusion of his privacy, comfort zone, or whatever.
'Yeah, I wish I were there as well, but I'm sure exciting things will happen during our time at school too.' she commented.She returned Matt's smile, hoping they could become friends.

"But even so, I could still end up getting a howler. A proper one this time." he chuckled.
"You'll have 7 years to make friends, don't worry." said Mordred. "As for me, I have to socialize with my 'brothers'" he said quoting the word with his hands. He just met a new male Slytherin in the upper class, and wasn't too happy still with the fact that most of the students who'd introduce themselves to him are girls. Not that he hated girls, he just doesn't understand why. "Am I not intimidating?" he asked Ari, because he thought he was.
"Er...is it okay with your fellow Gryffs?" he asked when Ari offered him a seat. He knew that it wasn't his territory. "I can get mauled here." Mordred thought looking around.
'Higher rivalry than during Harry Potter's time at school?' Ariadne asked incredulously.
'That sounds serious. I hope she doesn't mind if you have Gryffindor friends.' the girl inquired, with genuine concern in her voice.
'You know, maybe I myself won't get away without a Howler, for not being a Ravenclaw.' she pondered, but then added:
'Nah, my mum wouldn't do that.', though not entirely sure.
'Erm-maybe you are, but the more important thing is that you're interesting. I was curious to know you, and that doesn't happen very often to me, approaching people out of curiosity.' she explained.
'Plus, you're also impressing people through your looks.' she pointed out, matter-of-factly.
'Look around, do you see anyone complaining?' she asked, in a very determined tone.
'It's perfectly fine to stay for a while, though I'm sure you'll be missed at the Slytherin table.'
