Her brothers had dubbed her Arlie before she could walk, and there was no reason for her to be called Arlette suddenly. In fact, if too many people called her Arlette, that might actually make some of her brothers mad at her. "And I'm sorry people were insensitive about your name's origin. Cedes, and Mercedes, too, is a nice name."

But at the girl's advice, Arlie just blinked for a moment. Kazimeriz was a funny name for a professor, though the person--man?--himself didn't sound too pleasant. Doing homework and attending class, that was a given. Wasn't that what everybody did in school? And as to the stairs and the squid...Surely Cedes was just pulling her leg. Stairs didn't move. That was a preposterous idea. And there would be no squid in any lake, except maybe a salt-water lake. Weren't squids salt-water animals? So they'd be in only oceans. Not lakes.

"I'll be sure to be a good student," Arlie promised, not saying anything about the stairs or squid. She didn't want to look gullible, but she also didn't want to sound like she had no sense of humor. Sometimes silence really was best.

Mhm. Arlie was a nice name too. It reminded her of Carley. Or barley as in the food-ish hay type thing. Thinking of food led to Cedes feeling quite hungry now, even though she had recently eaten. She was just a very hungry person. She wasn't sure why. Maybe her mother's large appetite was transferred to her too. She just possibly ate more than her brothers and that was saying something. Her brothers were like a pack of wolves.

"Arlie it is! To come to think of it... Arlette seems like French-ish Latin-ish name. Somewhere around there..." Off topic... but that had been bothering her. Cedes HAD to know the origin of every person of every house at their school. Was she crazy? Nawww.... impossible. "Aww... thank you." This girl was just complementary and adorable.

Cedes merely nodded her head when Arlie promised to do her work. Good. She wanted to win the House Cup this year. They had won it last year but too bad. She wanted to win it every year. And she wanted to win the Quidditch Cup. Things seemed to had gone down hill ever since this big championship game win a few years back when Cedes was in about her second year or so. Hufflepuff kept stealing it. Mehhhhh...

"Don't forget about the stairs. I got lost and was late for class a bunch of times in my first year, thanks to those stairs. And don't forget about Bartholomew Henry. The squid? He likes compliments. But you seem to be good at that." Really good. Cedes felt all warm and fuzzzehh.
