First year,

Ariana Greyback was at Hogwarts, she was as nervous as anyone could possibly be as they put the sorting hat on her head. She also had the name of a family detested by the wizarding world, wich didn't particularly help, though she had never met any of them, she knew people would talk.

"Umhm, you are a quite difficult person to sort, but I think you'd do just fine in…GRYFFONDOR!" the hat said that last word loudly, shortly followed by a polite amount of applause.

Ariana was good at a lot of things, making friends was not one of those. She looked across the table and found the gaze of a boy. He looked a bit familiar, she gave him a shy smile in return, he then suddenly turned to another boy who had just been sorted. People all around started to congratulate him. They both congratulated each other, then took seat in front of her.

"Hey I'm Albus" The boy said. He was a Potter, so that meant the other boy across the table was James Potter. "Aren't you eating?"

She looked down at the full plate in front of her that hadn't yet been touched. She let out a soft laugh, "I guess not, I'm Ariana by the way." Pretty good she thought. As long as her last name could stay unknown she probably had a chance.

Another loud cheer and a girl with curly brown hair sat beside Albus after a congratulation hug. Turns out she's Rose Weasley daughter of Hermione Ganger and Ron Weasley. Everything went well, the small questions thrown to her by Albus quickly became an elaborate chat between the three of them.

They were then escorted to the gryffondor common room and to their dorm room. Ariana shared the room with three other girls, one being Rose. It was nice to know someone she already knew.

The next weeks went pretty well, of course her name didn't stay a secret for long. In fact, in potion the first class she had, the teacher called her full name pretty loudly. Then the whispers in the class started to rise louder. At least Albus was in this class with her and still seemed to be her friend, maybe he didn't know about the Greyback family, though she doubted that option to be the most probable. They were both walking back to the common room, when suddenly Albus grabbed her and ran towards… well, she wasn't sure where they were going. After a while of running they finally attained their goal, James Sirius Potter.

"JAMES! JAMES!" Albus was not the best in potions, but he had damn good lungs she thought. Across the field his brother turned around and gave a perplexed look to his brother. "I heard you were chosen to be the seeker. You should have told me sooner!"

James just looked at his brother in a funny way, and laughed, "It's not like it was a secret dummy, and besides you should be busy studying. Who's that?" he then asked looking towards her.

"That is my friend," Albus then turned to her, "let's go, find Rose!" He then left again in a rush.

Ariana gave James an apologetic look and left following Albus.

James Potter looked at the small girl running behind his little brother. Rumours had been going on about how a Greyback was going at Hogwarts, and besides, she wasn't the kind of person you would miss in a crowd. Though she was a Greyback, she didn't look anything like the pictures he had seen of Fenrir Greyback at Azkaban in the news papers. She was rather small, and had a few pierced rings on her ear, but what made her stand out was her hair. She had hair the color of pearls, almost translucent, she almost made the Malfoy boy's hair look dark. He didn't know how she was related to him, but he was sure she wasn't infected with lycanthropy as some people said, but she did have a wolf's pale grey eyes.
