Ariadne took a few seconds to think if she was looking forward to DADA.
'It sounds interesting, and it was my mum's favourite subject in school, but it just doesn't appeal to me that much.' she replied sincerely.
'I'm mostly looking forward to History of Magic and Divination.' the firstie confessed.
'I miss my mum a little, and our house in Yorkshire. I've never been away from my family till now. What about you? Do you miss them?' Ariadne asked Jordan.

Nika nodded her head. "Well I stayed for a few weeks and sadly I didn't really learn any french. It would have been cool to learn though." Nika said happily.
"Yeah my parents are muggles too. They all are. I'm the only witch." Nika let out a sigh. "I'm a muggle born or at least I think that's what you call it?" Yeah muggle born sounds right. "Well see that's the thing. I think she just might envy me."
'Ah, Divination!' Ariadne joined in with excitement.
'I can't wait to try that, even Muggles are fond of it, with their horoscopes and palm readings.' she chuckled.
'I once went to an amusement park with my mum and there was a fortune-teller there who told me I would inherit a huge fortune. I can't see that coming.' Ari laughed.
'Have you ever had anything predicted to you?' the firstie was curious.
'I'm sure you'll do good, the only thing is not to give up. But you won't, you're a brave Gryffie.' the girl smiled.
'If you want we could learn French together, for when we go back to France.' she suggested.
'Yes, Muggleborn's the word.' Ariadne nodded.
'But many Muggleborns have proved to be extremely talented witches and wizards.' she added.
'Oh, I hope her jealousy won't last long.' Ari said, sincerely.

So far, he had not been involved with firsties so much, except those who had been staring at him, however it did not mean he would never do it. He was an upperclassman of this school after all. Heheheh. Yeah, sure he was.
''Hmm...no. Not seventh yet.'' he replied the girl's question with a kind smile at her ''Sixth year.'' Eh, maybe he was seventeen years old but nope, he was a sixth year unlike many people within the school. ''But yeah. I can still say i know pretty much about this school.'' One of them being how to use the broomshed for purposed other than keeping brooms. Bahahahahaha! Yet, the ship? He only knew there was a ship and...nothing more. ''Unfortunately'' therefore he said shaking his head slowly. ''I don't now any extra stuff about the ship. And i doubt even Headmaster Tate does.''
Ariadne couldn't understand the behaviour of the other girls in the common room. Alas, she was only eleven, and was clueless about boys. For her, this older Gryffindor was an adult, and she liked talking to adults.
'Nearly there, anyway. It wasn't such a bad guess, after all.' she grinned. Ariadne nodded in understanding.
'So the ship is a total mystery. Do you reckon we'll be allowed to explore it later this year?' she asked for the boy's opinion.
'What's your name?' was the next obvious question.
'I am Ariadne Marchbanks, a firstie, as you might have guessed.' she introduced herself.
'So what was your favourite thing at Hogwarts over the past six years?' the girl was curious to know.

Among a billion other things and the fact that she hadn't yet gotten her little hands on Hogwarts: a History. "I'm impressed that you know about it! Were your parents Hogwarts students as well?"
"Um...I don't bring my kendo supplies with me when I come here. I save that for when I am home with my brothers," she blushed hoping that this news wasn't total disappointment for the first year.
'Sure. The kitchen.' Ari muttered. Of course, it was the obvious, logical choice, but she had to go over the top and suggest the Room of Requirement. Better move on to the question.
'My mum was. She was a Ravenclaw, she's been telling me stories about Hogwarts ever since I can remember, she is still very fond of the place. Her family, the Marchbanks, have beein in Ravenclaw for generations, and here I am, breaking the tradition.' Ariadne said, proudly. She hoped Kurumi wouldn't ask her why she had her mother's surname and never even mentioned her father.
'What about you? Are you the first of your family to come to Hogwarts?' Ari hastened to ask.
'So it's home...Do you have any pictures with it, though? I'd love to see some.' she wondered.

"Oh, I'm not sure really...but I think my grandmother was a Ravenclaw. She gave me this locket before she passed away. I was really little and I've worn it ever since." Tayla fiddled with the white gold locket around her neck and showed it to Ari. "I think it's magical, but I don't know what it does yet. I can't even open it."
'Sure. But do you mind if I bring some friends? There is a Hufflepuff in particular, whom I promised we'd explore every nook of Hogwarts together.' Ariadne explained.
Ari looked at the locket curiously.
'It's beautiful.' she gasped.
'Maybe there's a sort of incantation you have to say for it to open.' the girl suggested.
'Maybe it's something related to your grandmother. If I were you, I'd go to the library and check the yearbooks, you'll definitely find out something about your grandma there.' Ari added, with increasing excitement.
'If you want, I can help, I love doing research.' she offered.
