Her eyes went wide with surprise upon hearing the girl's last name.
'You don't happen to be related to Vashti Greenwell, do you?' It wasn't that common a surname, was it? Ari had certainly never heard it anywhere else before. This reminded her, she had promised to write to Vashti. As soon as she returned to the Common Room that evening after classes.

"Well see, I was wondering, what happened to the spirit of Gryffindor? For a bunch of Lions you're all rather tame." And tame was putting things lightly. "It's almost as if there's no fight left in this House... not to be mistaken with physical violence of course." No no no.
Not a riddle, then. This was something she could attempt to answer.
'Surely you don't think that the spirit of Gryffindor has been lost because we haven't won the House Cup?' As far as she knew, at least, since she had spent her fourth year at Beauxbatons, unfortunately.
As for the tame part...well, she had always been a rather tame person, at first even wondering how she ended up in Gryffindor, so Ariadne didn't really feel like commenting on that.
'What do you suggest we do?' the fifth year asked Sir Nicholas, who, after all, had seen pretty much everything that there is to see and was obviously more knowledgeable than most of the castle's inhabitants.
