The girl did get a smile though!
"Why yeesssss, I was!" BEAM. "I was among those brave heroes who climbed the train to save the life of a traumatized owl." And that was how it all went down. True heroism that was rewarded by handing out punishment. What was this world coming to?!
People usually replied back after an introduction, but apparently not this girl. Not that Ariadne minded much, she hardly took notice of that before Alexa proudly admitted to have been one of the first year troublemakers.
'Heroes? Don't you think it's a bit of an overstatement?' Ariadne chuckled. Still, for a bunch of 11-year-olds the nerve they had was impressive.
'So let's see...I know Dylan, Ariella and now you. Is there any troublemaker I haven't met yet?' Ari winked.

We write to each other sometimes and stuff." And she'd spent Christmas with Vashti and her family last year. So...they were sorta close, but probably not completely.
That must be nice, having someone in the family who had recently attended Hogwarts to guide you through the whole process.
'What kinds of wisdom did she impart on you, then?' As former Prefect, Vashti must've taught Penelope stuff.
Only then did Ariadne realize that it had been a big step for Penelope, attending Hogwarts and continuing her cousin's legacy, sort of. She probably didn't want to live in Vashti's shadow, but be recognized for her own merits.
'But that's enough about her. Tell me something about you.' So far, the only things Ariadne knew about Penelope were her name, that she was a housemate and that she was related to Vashti. Clearly not enough!
