She would not have wanted her dad hanging around while she was in her last few years of school." Was she good at Charms, Julien had to think about it, "Yes I would say she is good at many things. She is the one that fully decorated my office." He was always proud of his children.
He glanced around with her not really looking for anything. Yes, he always felt the castle was alive in some ways, "You could say that." It was an interesting way to think about the things that had happened here as well. Instead of just tragic or awful, but more of a challenge.
He jumped a bit at her loudness and then looked towards the steps. "Oh I'm not sure that riding the staircase is really my thing anymore, but you go on ahead. Just don't be late for any classes and please be careful." He wasn't going to have any first years dying on his watch.
Ariadne beamed at the mention of her dad.
"He was!" she exclaimed. She thought it was really cool that the professor knew her father!
"He retired when I was really, really little, though. I think he was an awesome Minister!" She had only been a toddler when her father had run the Ministry of Magic, but he had been then and still was one of her top two heroes! Her mom was the other one.
"I'm just the opposite of your daughter, then. I kind of wish my mom was still here," she admitted. She really missed her mom and dad right now. Maybe those feelings would taper away as she grew older, but right now, she was still feeling the effects of being away from home for the first time. She grew wide-eyed at the next comment.
"That's SO COOL that she got to decorate your office! I'm going to stop by one day and see it!" Maybe he would let Ariadne turn a couch orange or something!
She frowned when he gave her a definite no to riding around on the moving staircase.
"Okay, then. I guess I'm off then. I've toured the castle enough for today anyway. Have an awesome day!" she said.
