That was probably the least exciting answer Ariadne could have given her, but that was how the story went. "I was just sitting here watching it. I've always heard all kinds of stories about it, so I kind of wanted to see it for myself." She was glad she did, too, because there were a ton of people here! She had gotten kind of bored in the common room by herself.

She nodded in reply to Scarlett's next question. "Of course I know all about it! This tree's a legend! We were actually just talking about it before you walked up," she said. Her eyes widened and she added, "You had a PAINT WAR? Even after the food fight? No way! We got grilled about that food fight at our party." Ariadne STILL hadn't talked to Healer Murdoch either! She made a mental note to do that. "Are you making tons of friends? I'm trying to! That's one of the reasons I'm out of here. It got SUPER boring just sitting in the common room. Nobody else was in there, so I guess they're all out here having fun."

Scarlett chuckled. That was a lot less dramatic than she thought, which was a good thing, she supposed. If the tree was really THAT vicious it probably would have been chopping down years ago. "That's good I suppose - that it didn't really kill you, I mean. It probably gets this every year - tons of anxious, annoying first years trying to get past it. It's probably annoyed by all of us," she laughed. It was true that the tree was probably NOT a fan of all the kids gawking at it. If trees had feelings and everything, which...she thought they did? Maybe? The magical kind did, at least.

"We did! It was SO fun - and we probably got away with it since WE didn't do anything bad at the feast," she joked with a sly grin. Although that hadn't helped their points standing very long - they were already all the way in last. So much for an optimistic outlook after all those negative points..."And it was just with us, and we were all painting already anyways, it was just for fun. And that stinks - I heard that Murdoch can be SUPER tough. I'm actually scared of getting hurt and having to go see her at the Hospital Wing!" she admitted to her Slytherin friend. Although she was sure her bedside manner HAD to be...somewhat good for her to keep this job, yeah?

Was she making friends? She nodded with a smile. "I am! My dormmate and I got to decorate all our curtains and stuff the other day - I'm not sure if that's allowed, but no one has said anything about it! How about you? How are the other snakes? Nicer than Murdoch I hope," she said.
