Blink. One minute ago they were talking about books, and now Sarah was on the verge of tears?! Ari tried to hide her surprise while listening to what her younger housemate had to say. When she finished, Ariadne gathered the girl into a hug.

'Do you want to know what I think?' she spoke soothingly. 'You worry too much. No one cares if you lose a couple of points. Many Gryffindors do, and they're still popular and well-liked by housemates and Professors alike. And they don't take points off for everything. The staircase incident? I didn't lose any points. And anyway, I'm sure you are earning plenty of them, considering how dedicated you are to your studies.' This part had been easy enough. But not having friends...

After a short pause, Ariadne continued: 'As for someone to do it with...I'm sure you have loads of friends, and you can still make new ones every day. You just have to look around more.' No one could have said that Ari was friendly when she first arrived at Hogwarts, but somehow she had managed to blend in. She was sure Sarah would do too.

'But enough sitting around.' she decided. 'We can go and do something fun right now. Whatever you want.' the older Gryffindor smiled, stood up and extended her arm to help Sarah get up too. No time for melancholy.


Sarah was.actually.crying... she accepted the hug greatfully. And bravely (she was a lion after all) wiped away her tears. "Sorry about that... I just teared up.. I have no idea why" actually she had an idea, her mom said it had to do with hormones and being a teenager..."You know, my mom says that I am anxious..." very anxious, in fact she had knots in her back and shoulders, each knot she named a different mountain. Mt. Kilimanjaro on her left hand shoulder, Mt. Everest was perched on right shoulder, Mt. Ranier under her left shoulder blade...
"Thank you sooo much for listening Ari!" she got up from the bench. "that will be fun" her eyes shone once more. "How about the Mini-Golf Course? I always wanted to play it" she had attempted before to play by herself, yet it isn't as fun.
