Was it just her, or did EVERYBODY already to seem to know everybody else? With all these thoughts on her mind, she didn't even see her prefect come into the room and take a seat.

Ariadne jumped up into a seating position upon hearing Dot's voice. "Whoa!" she exclaimed. "Had you been a super evil dark wizard, you would have gotten me!" Dead. Done for. AK'ed. Ariadne smiled when she saw who she was talking to. Their PREFECT, and prefects were super, cool, and awesome older students. She always thought it was SO COOL when one of them talked to her.

"Can you REALLY?" she asked, all excited to hear that piece of news. Ariadne peered out into the Black Lake with eyes wide open and alert. New goal = see the squid from the common room! "They're not?" ... "What do they DO?" These kinds of things qualified as valuable information to a very impressionable eleven-year-old.
It was funny, but every year, Dot learned AGAIN how impressionable first years were. Take this ickle, for example, who was looking at her with wide eyed wonder like Dot had just promised her that chocolate cake appeared under their pillows every night. It didn't, for the record. Maybe she was jaded to the idea of creatures swimming by from time to time, but it hardly seemed news anymore.

"Lucky for you, I'm not a super evil dark wizard or witch. I'm just very sneaky. Like a perfectly not evil ninja witch." Dot smoothed the cloth over her lap to make sure the stitches came out even and straight before turning her attention back to Ariadne. "Come look for yourself. I've seen all sorts of creatures out those windows. And mermaids... they swim. They frown. The usual."
