Aphrodite reached out to the senior who had just joined them, "Hello, my name is Aphrodite Dragongrass. You can call me Aphrodite or Fro for the shorter one. Pleased to meet you, Sarah," she said with a cheerful face.

Sarah thought it was a question all kids asked their parents, yet some kids did not know, like the Forrest dude. Those first years did have interesting names.
Many people are asking what is the meaning of her given name by her parents: "Well, my parents gave this name because I was the first girl that was born in the Dragongrass family for 150 years, and Aphrodite is the Greek goddess who symbolizes beauty. My parents wish I could be as beautiful and as noble as she is, "she said with a smile. "What about you, Sarah?" Aphrodite asked her.

Amara did not look like she was very happy. As Natasha recalled, Amara had been quite certain that she would be sorted into Slytherin.
“Amara, are you okay?” Natasha asked. “I know you wanted to be in Slytherin, but you never know, Gryffindor might turn out to be not so bad after all.” She suggested, trying to make her friend feel a little better.
As soon as Amara said that, Aphrodite know that she doesn't get into the house that she want. She patting Amara's shoulder and glanced at Natasha with a smile, "Amara, what Nats said is true, the more important thing is we stay together. What about Zyanya? I heard she was placed in Ravenclaw," she said to Amara.

OH YEAH!
The paper plates and all that. "Well, normally we don't have all this." she said, motioning to the plastic cups, silverware, and paper plates. "At the feasts there's always nice, shiny REAL plates and goblets and actual silverware. We never have this so it's really strange." she said. She glanced at the staff table, wondering what they were up to with all this...maybe the house elves got super lazy or something.
"Does this have anything to do with the house elves?, And Ronnie, does this ever happen?" Aphrodite asked the curious to the red-haired pretty girl.
