"Blind, Mister Salander," she finished his sentence. Ari reached up a hand and pulled her glasses out from in front of her eyes. She probably should have waited, but it just kind of happened. If the light was well enough, he would be abe to see that Ari had bright green eyes underneath a thick, milky veil. She blinked towards him a few times. "I've always been blind," she stated matter-of-factly as she pushed them back into place.
Awkward pause.
"I know my way around one, but my cello is what I'm best at. My whole family is from Ireland, but I was the first one of them to be born in England--but my American neighbors are the ones I spent the most time with, so... My accent, I guess, is BritMerIsh," she laughed, making sure her glasses didn't bounce off her nose.
Wow she's blind.
Like no kidding Salander.
The lad had to blink, seeing Arienna's eyes for the first time. It wasnt aversion, as most people would probably feel right about now, but likely it was stark reminder of a faculty that he has always taken for granted. He knew he would be completely helpless without his sight, and couldnt imagine what life would be like for those without it. Yet here was a girl who in all respects can function as normally as most people. More, if her actions at the Goblet were any indication.
"Right.... " he whispered as Arienna finished his sentence. He started to feel like a doofus until she indicated that she seemed to be used to it. It got him to relax and started to chuckle at her motley background not much different from his own.
"You're family is from Ireland? Like U2's Ireland? "Oh he knew about the legendary Muggle band. Any daydreaming wannabe rocker would.

Daisy noticed there girls inability to grab her hand. As if she didn't know where it was. Shaking Ari's hand she smiled and said," Nice to meet you. I must say you are queit the celloist." She hoped that was the right word. She only knew what a person who played piano was called, but that was because she played the piano.
She laughed as Ari gestured between the three of them and smiled happily. This was a good day. "So what year are you two in?" They really didn't look that much older but you could never tell.

She gestured between the three of them. "Daisy, Salander; Salander, Daisy; Ari, Daisy; Daisy, Ari; Ari, Salander; Salander, Ari; Daisy, Ari, Salander."
Salander couldnt help but laugh at Arienna
"Say that ten times real fast-- kidding!" he added quickly
"I'm a 4th year. Slytherin." he responded to Daisy. He slumped his shoulders involuntarily and looked away, since he was more than aware that he looked a little older than most 14 year olds in his class.
