It said it couldn't decide, so it just went with the one I was hoping for." Ariadne didn't think she'd make a good Lion, though. They were way too brave for her!
Ariadne kept up conversation, but her eyes were glued to the gateway to the lake. She was hoping to see a REAL MERMAID! "So how do you like being a prefect? I bet you feel super cool and awesome all the time!" she continued. Ariadne felt super cool and awesome just talking to Dot! Ariadne bounced a little and started to point out the window, but then...it was just a rock. That didn't stop her from looking...CONSTANTLY looking...for something more interesting to pass by. "I'm a Slytherin because I want things and I know how to get them," Dot leveled a look at the younger girl. She was playing into the way other people defined them, but she needed to figure out for herself that not all Slytherins (not even most Slytherins) were devious or sneaky, just like not all Gryffindors were crazypants brave and jumping out windows.
"And blood lines don't mean much. Maybe don't mean anything, really." She returned to her project and let Ariadne stare out the window. It wasn't hurting anyone, even if she was likely to leave a nose print on the glass. "Being a prefect is a lot of work. You have rounds, you have leadership responsibilities, and then at the end of the day, you still have to be a student and get your work done. I like it, but it definitely doesn't make me cool. It makes me the very uncool girl enforcing the rules." She'd learned that from Thornton, and it was a cold splash of water to the face.
