Ariadne smiled. 'Marchbanks is my last name. Griselda Marchbanks was my great-grandmother. She had been Head Girl in school, then a member of the Wizengamot and an examiner till the end of her life. She even tested Harry Potter in his Divination OWL exam.' the girl narrated.

'So Ariadne is my first name. It's Greek, actually, my mum read a lot of mythology. I don't remember the story, though.' she explained. 'But most people call me just Ari, anyway.' she added.

'You have been in Ravenclaw? So has my family, for generations. I'm the first one to be sorted into Gryffindor.' the firstie said, with pride in her voice.
