She must've met all the firsties in Hogwarts over the last week, if you counted this one in! And she wanted to know about secret passages, just as Ari and Lesta. 'Mhmm. I'm positive they exist. But the one I knew of is now blocked. I suppose they're really difficult to discover, and once you do, everyone in this school finds out and the Professors surely block it.' Sad, but true. Anyway. 'And who might you be?' Ariadne asked the newcomer, before turning back to Awarlesta.

Sir Nicholas didn't seem to mind that much these days if people called him Nearly-Headless, but he probably still got upset if people wanted to know how one can be nearly headless. 'Yes, Fat's not a nice thing to call someone to their face.' she nodded, understanding Lesta's point of view.

Heh. So Selina and Kurumi didn't scare Ariella off? Perhaps nothing could, then. 'At least you've done that before school technically started, so it didn't result in any point losses, did it?' Ariadne wondered.

All three of them seemed to be very enthusiastic about exploring the castle. But were they equally enthusiastic about their classes? Hard to tell, so she'd better ask. 'How did you find your first classes? Everything going well?' So far?
