Dylan? As in DJ? As in Music Man? "Yup! Must be me! Unless he has some other friend named Ari...in whish case he would have some serious explaining to do! He could be trying to replace me!" Ariella hoped that wasn't the case. Wait a minute, "Your name is Ari too! That make us...like that same person! Only not really..." But it was still cool!
"Ya, we met on the Hogwarts express," Ari remembered when they had met, in fact it was only a few days ago, "I guess we're exploring, theres so much in this place it's kinda hard not too!" Ari hadn't even seen half of the castle yet, it was just SO HUGE!
Why were these girls not in Gryffindor, again? Their mischief-maker allures certainly fit the Gryffindor profile. Ariadne remembered their Houses from the Sorting ceremony. Not because she had that good a memory, but because she had played Guess the House with her best friend
and lost big time. .
That sounded....a tad dramatic.
'As far as I know, you're the only Ari he's friends with. When I introduced myself, he said he knew one other Ari, but it came from Ariella.' Yes. No need to worry, little one.
'So...whose cat ended up on the Hogwarts Express?' Never in four years had she heard of such a thing before.
Ari rolled her eyes at the same person comment, but she burst into laughter afterwards.
'That's a bit of an overstatement, but maybe we do have more things in common than just our nicknames.'
Nodding, the Gryffindor wondered what the girls have seen so far.
'Have you met any of the ghosts? Did you see Bartholomew, the Giant Squid? Found a secret passageway yet?' she winked at the two girls.

She smiled at Ariella, "Yes, Ari's one of my first friends that I met on my journey to Hogwarts." She nudged her, "I guess she's stuck with me now."
Paying close attention to how the girl had spelt her name, Ari eventually nodded. '
Got it. Lesta sounds lovely. I think I'll be calling you that from now on.' the Gryffindor decided.
How adorable was that?
'I've met my best friend when we were both first years as well.' Only it was on Diagon Alley, not the train.
'I had no idea then that we would become this close. I don't know what I'd do without her.' For over four years, Gwendolyn had been with her every step of the way.
'I hope you two will stay friends forever, like us.' Hogwarts was the best place to befriend people. Ari's mum had met her best friend at school too.
