"Hey, EVERYBODY!"

...and no, she wasn't screaming at the top of her lungs. Ariadne had just said her greeting loud enough where probably everybody at least sitting on one end of the table would hear her. She was in a talk-to-everybody mood, because who had time to be all moody and irritable. NOT HER. This was the year she would make lots of friends and actually be sociable and have people to hang out with when she went to Hogsmeade.

Wow. There were so many new people in Slytherin this year. "SLYTHERIN! Best house everrr!" she said to one of them. "Congrats and stuff!" The only thing that would make this moment better was FOOD being served, because after that long train ride, Ariadne was STARVING.
