'But I don't think we've officially met. I'm Ariadne Marchbanks. Or just Ari.' The fifteen-year-old used to love that nickname, but now there was a Ravenclaw first year who called herself that and it kind of spoiled the fun.
Anyway. This Lioness over here, Ariadne already liked her.
'Lovely to meet you.' she added, chuckling at the girl's remark about points earning themselves, before drawing her attention back to the House ghost.

There was something you didn't see everyday... or century.
He had been about to ask the girl how much homework she had accumalated when another voice distracted him.
"Awesome indeed... but unfortumantely it doesn't work that way." Even if it did, the other Houses would still find some way of beating them.
"Now... can you girls answer me something?" he asked, as if testing them. He waited to guage their response.
Maybe she had overdone it with the curtsy. Just a tad. Still, before she had the time to even start to feel embarrassed, Penelope had commented on the house point thing and Sir Nicholas didn't seem to take it lightly. Ok, Gryffindor hadn't won the House cup in a few years, but there was more to life than points and Ari was sure that her housemates' qualities surpassed those of people from other Houses.
A question? How intriguing.
'Anything, Sir Nicholas!' As long as it wasn't one of those riddles that the Ravenclaws allegedly had to solve before being allowed into their Common Rooms. That system was mental.
