Ohhh, so he was named after the astronomer. Awesome. "You are, really?" she asked, returning his smile. Mariel nodded eagerly. Named after someone like the amazing Copernicus was a story she wanted to hear. The only thing better would be to be named after a famous Quidditch player. "I'm not named after anyone important," she added, more to herself than to anyone else. "I'm not even sure where my name comes from. I think it means rebellious, or something like that." She shrugged to herself, remembering reading that particular thing in some book.

Copernicus could say that he wasn't charming, but she could clearly see that he was. Smiling lightly, the third year shrugged. "Well, it's good to know that some people still have manners." Not like a certain someone who thought it a good idea to decorate the greenhouses with splatters of mud last year. Ugh.

Watching somewhat impressed as the older boy easily performed an invisibility spell for the little boy, she had to surpress a laugh as the younger one left as quickly as he came. Obviously in some kind of hurry to pull a prank.

That'd be nice. I wish I lived in some sort of wizarding community where I could do that. You're really lucky." She gave a small smile. "But, I can't really complain. I got to play soccer every day with all my girls. I love Hogwarts, but I think I look forward to going home more than most people, just because I know I've missed so much in the lives of my friends. So, y'know, getting to hang with them... my summer was wonderful."
Mariel grinned at Becca's excitement, almost making her relive her good times. "Yeah, it was my first time on a horse," she said. "Kinda scary, but I just tried to relate it to riding a broom. And yes they are quite smelly aren't they?" she added, making a face. But even she had to admit that it had been fun.

She nodded. "Yes, I got in a lot of Quidditch practice to give me an edge for this year's season. I really hope my friends try out this year." Really, who wouldn't want to play for their house team? Wait, soccer? ... oh! Right, Sarah had told her about that. Similar to Quidditch but on the ground and only using feet. "That does sound fun." She gave Becca a genuine smile. She didn't understand a lot of Muggle things, but if that sport was half as fun as Quidditch, then it must be good. "I really can't wait to get back though." She glanced out the window in anticipation.

As she didn't know who was the first in the compartment she asked the question at large. Tundra managed to squeeze between her legs and poked his small head around the door as well. Icy blue eyes taking everything in.
Mariel looked up yet again as the door opened. Grinning up at her best friend from her seat, the third year waved and said, "Hi, Lasca!" She slid over on the seat to make room for her friend and patted the seat next to her to indicate that she take a seat. Trying to be polite, she proceeded to introduce her to the others as she wasn't sure who she knew. "This is Copernicus and Becca," she started, gesturing to each one appropriately. "And..." she trailed off looking at the girl she did not yet know (Paris).

She gave Cope a nod and a small smile. "Oh its ok. I'm you had other things to think about than me." She didn't sit down as she was sure that Ravenclaw didn't want her in the compartment from the icy reception she received, and she honestly didn't understand. She had never met the girl or even spoke to her.
Mariel looked up in slight anticipation at the girl who still hadn't sat down. Clearly something was wrong as she addressed Becca somewhat icily. Did the two girls have some sort of problem with each other? Mariel wasn't sure, but she could cut the tension in their compartment with a knife.
