A/N There sexual references that might be found displeasing to some.
The next week Ariadne and her sister left for school. They left promptly from platform 9 ¾ with Ariadne's father giving her last minute Quiddich advice and her mother crying because her babies were leaving. "Don't for get to Owl me when you girls get to school," she called as the boarded the train.
"Ari do you mind if I sit with you and Cedric, I don't know anyone else going," Tricia asked innocently.
"Of course as long as you don't mind it being a little crowed, it's Oliver's neighbor, Gwendolyn's, first time going to Hogwarts as well and I promised I'd keep and eye on her the first couple days. Also Zia be sitting with us as well you remember her." Tricia nodded.
"Oh Ari is it true that Harry Potter goes to Hogwarts. I want to meet him." Ariadne laughed.
"Yes he goes to Hogwarts, I've played Quidditch agents him for three years now. He's just a student like you and I. Speaking of Quidditch first years learn how to ride on broom. Just remember everything I've told you and you'll be all right. Damn I can't believe my baby sister is starting school."
"Hey I'm not a baby," Tricia protested. The entered the cabin and Ariadne saw Gwendolyn standing outside looking shy. Ariadne took her and guided her in to the cabin. Gwendolyn looked around nervously at Cedric and Mackenzie, who were both older and then to Tricia and gave a weak smile. Tricia smiled back.
"Hello, I'm Tricia," she said introducing her self to this new girl, "I'm also a first year at Hogwarts." Gwendolyn smiled, and the two girls went off to talk. Ariadne sat with Cedric, Mackenzie and Cho Chang who had come in to sit with Cedric.
"My dad says that something big is happening at Hogwarts this year but he wouldn't tell me what." Cedric said.
"Yes," agreed Mackenzie, "My dad and mum said that as well, I can't wait to get there." Cho had fallen a sleep with her head in Cedirc's lap. Ariadne was kind of happy about that. She liked Cho and was very glad Cedric happy, but Cho never tried to get to know any of his friends. She hung out with his friends almost all the time, because after all Cedric was her Ariadne's best friend, but she had not heard the girl speak more the five words to her.
"I wasn't told anything," Ariadne replied and the conversation died down. Mackenzie fell asleep and Ariadne went off to see how her sister and Gwendolyn were doing. Finally night came and they reached Hogwarts. Ariadne took Tricia and Gwendolyn to Hagrid, before bordering a horseless carriage with Mackenzie, Cedric and Cho. Finally they all took their place at the Hufflepuff table except for Cho who took her spot at the Ravenclaw table with her friends. Ariadne happened to casually notice that Bianca Sutter, Oliver's ex girl friend, had broken up with Roger Davis and was now seducing the keeper of the Ravenclaw team.
The first years entered and Ariadne waved to her sister happily and she sister gave her a nerves smile in return. Ariadne watched as the each of the little first years were called. The seemed to get smaller and smaller each year, especially the smallest one of all of them Dennis Creevy, he looked quite pathetic. Finally Ariadne perked up when she heard Gwendolyn called. The sorting hat seemed to take a while to deliberate on her and Finally called out "Gryffindor". She seemed very pleased. Then Tricia's name was called and Ariadne watched in anticipation as the sorting hat placed her. It seemed to take a while as well. But finally it called out "Gryffindor," Tricia was very happy with this. Then Professor Dumbledore made a very big announcement. The Triwizard Tournament was being reinstated and it was going to be held at Hogwarts. Ariadne couldn't contain her excitement. She was going to enter. Cedric also turned to her, his eyes were dancing with excitement.
"Think of what my dad would say if I entered," he told her, "I think I would never hear the end of it but it would be great. Are you going to enter Ari?"
"With out a doubt I am," she replied. That night she returned to her dorm, everyone was buzzing with excitement about the Triwizard Tournament. It was going to be the greatest thing that's happened at Hogwarts. She had to write to Oliver about it.
My Oliver
I miss you terribly but I have new. While there is not going to be a Qidditch Turnament this year, wait before you write and angry letter to the school let me tell you. The Ministry of Magic has reinstated the Triwizard Tournament this year and it's going to be held at Hogwarts. I've never been so excited for anything before and I'm definitely going to enter. I wish you could be here for it to enter with me but what can I say. I'm so happy to be back at Hogwarts but I Miss you terribly. Also Tricia and Gwendolyn have both been placed in to Gryffindor, I know you must be so proud of Gwen. OK don't tell anyone else thing...I know you wont... but still I'm kind of jealous that my sister made it in to Gryffindor and I didn't. Oh you must think I'm stupid but what does she have that I don't. Sigh. Anyway I hope Puddlemere is treating you well because if they're not... Well I just hope training and practice is going well. I wish I could see you play so badly. But I love you so much and I will write to you again soon.
With all my Love
Ariadne
P.S. guess who's Head Girl this year, Bianca Sutter. Just thought it would be interested in knowing.
Oliver Wood was sitting in the locker rooms after practice when Ariadne's great horned owl, Melody, swooped in and dropped a letter off in his hands. It nibbled affectionately at his ear before setting off for Hogwarts again. "Hey Wood, what ch got there," one of the chaser's, Max Darcy, called out.
"It's a letter from my girl friend," Oliver replied.
"I didn't know you had a girl what's her name?"
"Ariadne Rosakis, she's the most magnificent person in the world."
"So I take it you really love her."
"More than anything have you ever just talked to a girl and knew from the moment you saw her looking down at your hospital bed that she was the person that you were going to grow old with. I mean I see my self in seventy. eighty years sitting out on our front porch together sipping tea, and making fun of how old we are. Have you ever felt that way about some one?"
"Honestly Wood, no, and I think your crazy. Girls are good for two things, looking good and being good if you know what I mean. Other than that they just kind of get in the way, they get clingy and annoying. And then they wonder why you never floo or owl them anymore. I think you should ditch this girl and play around a bit. Come on no matter how good a girl is there's always one who's better looking or better shag. This girl better be a model if you're going to keep her." Oliver showed him a picture of Ariadne from the seventh year ball. Max looked a bit taken back by how pretty she really was. "All right Wood maybe I'll agree that you should hold on to this one for a while. How good is she in the sack?"
"Honestly, I don't know, we've not shagged yet. She wants to wait until she feels it will be the most special, and I respect her for that."
"Bloody Hell! You're dating a girl that won't even put out for you, you're more insane than I thought. I think you took one to many bludgers to the head. Come out with me tonight and I'll show you a good time." Max took Oliver to a night club just off the main path of Diagon Ally. There were young wizards and witches dancing and boozing everywhere. It was a blur of colorful muggle clothing and robes. "I'm telling you Wood this is the place to see and be seen. I heard a couple of the Weird Sisters were spotted here the other night. Not to mention many top ranked Quidditch stars. Your good Wood and with some proper connections you can go really far." Max winked at Oliver before takeing a shot of firewhisky. Then he order two more and gave one to Oliver. "Here's to your future Wood." And they both downed their drinks. After about two hours and many more drinks later. Oliver was off making out on a couch with a blond witch who Max had tried to set him up with earlier without much success and Max had left with the red head he had been chatting up earlier.
