Ariadne blinked at the sound of the professor's question to her. Had the portraits of the former Ministers ever said anything interesting to her? "Not in the least bit," she explained, shaking her head. "They were just the opposite! I think they knew that I was super afraid of them, so all they did was glare and give me really stern looks." No casual conversation there. None at all. Besides, Ariadne had been really, really little, so she doubted she would say much anyway.

Never mind that! They were interviewing the portraits now anyway! Ariadne picked...Artemesia Timms!!!

She bounced up and approached the portrait of the woman, who looked to be around her oldest sister's age. "Hello, Miss Timms," she said. "I'm just wondering if Quidditch was around during your time." She had more questions about Quidditch, but the professor probably wanted only one at a time, so she fidgeted in place instead of asking more questions right now.
