The doors to the Great Hall burst open, the clicking of heels the only sound heard as the hall quietened. A figure emerged from the shadows beyond the corridors, chestnut coloured hair so dark it was almost black, oval shaped face with a cute chin on which a slightly pointed pointed nose and almond shaped eyes the colour of hematite lay, a rich chocolate colour was the skin tone. Cherry full lips rested at the base of said face along with thin black eyebrows which resided at the top. When she opened her mouth a medium high voice came out.

"I apologize for my tardiness, the carriage got stuck in an awful traffic half way through which is the reason for my arriving at this time, may I take a seat." She said this all slowly and carefully.

With the approval of the headmaster she made her way towards the table of the snakes much to the shock and surprise of of most of the Great Hall, where she seated herself to the right of one Blaise Zabini.

From there she spoke another language which could only be assumed to be the mother tongue of the two.

" Fratello caro ti vengo a visitare dall'Italia e nemmeno mi saluti? Oh la povera mammina che pensave che ti aveva insegnato come comportarti." The boy looked constipated for a moment, before he sighed in an un Slytherin like manner got to his feet and bowed lightly to the girl, pressing a soft kiss to her knuckles. The girl looked satisfied as she patted the seat beside in in a motion for him to sit.

"Molto meglio fratello caro." She beamed.

"Ariella not now." he groaned. She turned towards the empty plate that had appeared before her upon sitting down ready to pile it up with food when she noticed the entire hall's attention on her table or to be more accurate her.

"May I ask what is interesting enough about me that could warrant the attention of the entire hall?" Her voice seemed to snap everybody out of their stupor as they returned to their meal, stranger things had happened at Hogwarts, though some curiosity still lingered. Then the doors of the Great hall slammed open again for the second time that night. Harry Potter walked into the room His unnaturally bright emerald green eyes scanned the hall landing on the Slytherin side of the room or more specifically on Ariella who carried on eating - is that lasagna?- as if absolutely nothing happened.

"Ariella." He spoke her name, the word carried through the hall seamlessly. At the sound of her name she perked up locking eyes with the creature that was Harry Potter.

"Why was I not informed of your arrival today?" As he said this he moved closer and closer towards her till he was facing her.

"Well that is because it was meant to be a surprise." she stated flatly face unimpressed.

And a terrifying thing happened. Harry Potter, Prankster Extraordinaire, Slytherin Prince, Bipolar Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived, smiled, it was not a smirk or grin like it usually was, Oh No, it was a warm smile filled with admiration and to a certain extent - love.

'Well this year ought to be intresting'

Oh our poor mother who thought that she had taught you manners!'
