Tayla promised to take her and Ari there. "Heyy! Tayla's been there, and she told me before that she'd take you and me there someday." Zara's grinned widened as she remembered Tayla's promise.
"No, not really. It's kinda nice to remind myself once in a while that my name's really Danielle. Or else I might forget about my life at home...which is not likely. But, just in case." She replied, and picked up her spoon and played with the plate. Slightly making clinking sounds.
A change. Yes, that's good. "Ohh, that's brilliant. Keep it up, Ari. Stand out from the rest." She winked at her friend. It was brave of Ari to do make that decision. Then again, this bravery is probably the reason she was put in Gryffindor.
Zara giggled. "Finee. Hihi. But our group at his activity is called Team Shaw. He likes us red people." She said, in hopes of reminding Ari that Shaw liked them from the rest. It was a plus factor.
Ariadne smiled when Zara expressed her enthusiasm at the possibility of going to the kitchens.
'I've been there already. The elves are very busy, so I just took some food, and left. Besides, I can't just ask them if they really like cleaning and cooking, it would be impolite..' she sighed.
'Do you miss home?' the firstie wondered, as her new friend mentioned her first name represented a kind of link between her and her family. Sure, Hogwarts was exciting, but sometimes Ari did miss her mother, the rest of the family, her Muggle friends, not having to share a room with others..Not that the girls in her dorm weren't great, but privacy in general was something one could hardly ever have at Hogwarts.
Ari chuckled at her friend's comment. Yes, it felt good to stand out from the crowd. But sometimes, however, it was better to just blend in. And then Zara started arguing in favour of Shaw again.
'Yeah, I suppose you're right. So if we're attacked, like he suggested, we'll be the last to die as he'll sacrifice every other team first.' A real bonus, hehe.

Ohh wait,how cool was that?!Was Ari really asking her to be partners?Beaming widely the Slytherin nodded excitedly at the little Gryffindor."I would loooooove to ",she said,"do you already have something in mind?"Now the girl knew what she would be doing before going to sleep,thinking about pranks without consequneces.Or better thinking about pranks which Lafay will never find out.Yees.The third year was really proud of the little one hearing her talk all confidently.Good Lion."These new mystery teachers are totally weird",the blonde nodded,"i dont know why they are evern here."What a pitty the rumours about the Centaur teachers wasnt right.Mordred?Mordred?Fee thought about that name intensely but couldnt find any infortmation about that guy in her head."Unfortunately not",she shook her head,"but i am sure he is a great guy,seeing he is friends with a great girl."
Ari smiled broadly. Now she was really convinced that Fee liked her. Ariadne wasn't as cute as other children her age, being very tiny and pale,and not as cheerful, but she compensated through her personality.
'Oh, that's wonderful!' the tiny girl was beaming, as her Slytherin friend agreed on plotting together. Did she already have something in mind? Hmm...
'Er-I am really intrigued by the Humpbacked Witch Statue on the third floor.' Ari was sure Fee knew what she was talking about.
'I can't believe the passage is blocked, it would be fantastic if we could unblock it somehow.' the girl lowered her voice as she spoke.
'It's supposed to lead to Hogsmeade. Honeydukes, I think.' she added.
However, it was highly unlikely that they could actually do something about that.
'But we should probably focus on something else.' Like changing Lord Borr's nameplate on his office? Nah, not feasible either.
'Someone said we'd have a Centaur as a Professor? That would've been fascinating!' As it was, they just had
Chainshaw Shaw.
'Oh, he's...' Ari hesitated for a while, not very sure about how to better describe Mordred.
'He's an interesting person. You'll probably meet him soon.' Quote:

Sagely the lioness replied "I think everyone worry about integrating into their new houses when they get sorted Ariadne. I know i was nervous and worried about that when i came to Hogwarts but a senior student took me under her wing and I settled in without too many bumps." The prefect hoped that would ease the 11 year old's mind.
Thinking about her siblings a pained expression passed over her prefects face but was quickly replaced by a smile. "I have two siblings Madeline (4) and Robert (8). Neither of them are old enough to start Hogwarts just yet but my mother has signed Robert up to start in a pre-hogwarts school when becomes 10 so that he will know a little about school life before coming here." Ariadne was a booklover like herself. Smiling Sophie asked "What kind of books do you like? Romance, Fantasy?" Shaking her head in the response the prefect explained. "I like Quidditch and I'm fairly good at flying but no i do not play quidditch. Tryouts and matches has so far never meshed well with my prefect duties and studies. So i don't tryout for the team." Curious she couldn't keep herself from asking "Why isn't flying your forte, Ariadne?"
Ariadne noticed that Sophie was a very good listener. Probably a useful quality for a Prefect. Her attitude just prompted her to keep talking; it was easy to share personal information with Sophie.
'Thank you for that. I thought I was the only one having this problem. This older student you mentioned-did she already graduate?'
Ari smiled as her housemate was talking about her siblings.
'You miss them a lot while at Hogwarts, don't you?' Maybe. How could Ariadne know, anyway? She was an only child.
'Pre-Hogwarts school? That must be great, though I must confess I haven't heard of anything like that before. Did you attend it too?' the firstie wondered.
'I like a bit of everything. But my favourite books are not literature ones, but historical. I love History of Magic, and Muggle history as well.' the little one explained.
'Which are your favourite classes here?' she wondered.
Ah, so Sophie did like Quidditch.
'It's a pity you don't have the time to play'. Ari answered. Thinking how to best describe her fear of Flying, she finally decided on saying:
'I just don't trust a piece of wood keeping me up in the air.' It came out sounding very childish, though.
