Think, Gwendolyn, THINK!, she told herself but no good names of pets came into her head.
Ok, change he subject! Quick! 'Er...why don't you sit there for the...portrait!', she said.
'I'm gonna start drwing...just don't get too enthusiastic, I don't guarantee it will come out right'. Great, she had such a talent in making the good mood go away...
She started with some basic lines,
But, having noticed that Ari was looking puzzled at her drawing she started covering it with her left hand. Truth was, the portrait was only a mixture of lines so far... It looked bad because it was still bald. Despite the fact that Gwen usually added the hair in the end, she started working on it right now. She didn't want Ari to think it won't come out nicely.
She hated when people where checking out her drawings when they weren't done. She still had a lot to do to it,and Ari was expecting it to remain like this.
No way! Gwen had o distract Ari so that she won't stare at the drawing untill it would be finished.
'So, what's new with you?', Gwen asked her friend.
Did Gwen answer her question? If so, Ari didn't remember the name, so better not bring this up and have Gwen think she's crazy.
'Sure' she nodded, and moved over where her friend indicated. Staying still for the portrait proved to be quite problematic, however.
'Don't worry, from what I've seen you're extremely talented. Do you want to pursue this in the future? Like...become an artist when you grow up?' Ariadne wanted to know everything about her friend.
Ari glanced at the drawing briefly and frowned a bit, thinking it looked like a scary mannequin, but then Gwen covered it.
Gosh, she must've noticed I was looking, Ariadne thought. Focusing on the question instead, the Gryffindor answered:
'Lots of things. Besides classes, I'm researching my family tree at the library with a friend, I'm exploring the castle with another friend, I just went to Hogsmeade for the first time...' the girl narrated.
'What about you?' she asked, and took another furtive look at the drawing, which looked a lot better now. She smiled.
