Chapter 9:
Arrival
Once they finally got dressed they started their walk to the great hall as it was almost lunchtime. It took them close to 20 minutes because they stopped to pin each other against the walls. Hermione was flushed and slightly disheveled when they walked into the great hall and saw their friends waiting,
"Geez, I didn't know people could sleep in that long." said Lavender,
"Um, judging by that fresh hickie, I don't think they were sleeping!" said Harry.
"Harry, stop you are making mental pictures I don't want!" said Ron.
Just as Hermione and Draco sat down and the doors opened and in walked Dumbledore with three students following him. He walked up to where the gang was sitting.
"I would like to introduce Ariadne Abyss," he indicated a girl with curly red hair and blue-green eyes.
"Mantha Lynn," a girl with thick dark brown hair and mint-green eyes,
"and Lyric Scott," a girl with wavy blonde hair and brown eyes.
"Hye-ya!" said Ariadne.
"Hi!" said Lyric and Mantha together.
"Hi, welcome to Hogwarts!" said the gang together.
"Why don't you lot introduce yourselves?" suggested Dumbledore.
"Ok, I'll start, I'm Hermione Granger."
"Draco Malfoy."
"I'm Lavender Brown,"
"Ginny Wesley,"
"Ron Weasley,"
"Harry Potter."
"Cool," said Ariadne.
Mantha and Lyric were too shocked to say anything, He-who-must-not-be-named had destroyed their entire school and here sitting before them was the boy who lived.
"Well, now that you three have met everyone that is left here for the holidays, why don't we get you sorted." said Dumbledore.
He told them to sit down and he would place the sorting hat on their heads. He placed the hat on Ariadne's headfirst. She burst out laughing at something it said and it shouted "Slytherin!"
Draco applauded loudly. He then set the hat on Lyric. After a few moments of mumbling it shouted "Ravenclaw!" It did the same thing with Mantha. After that Dumbledore left.
"So, what houses are ya'll in?" Ariadne asked.
"Slytherin." Draco answered.
"And the rest of us are in Gryffindor." answered Harry.
"That sucks! Mantha and I really didn't want to spend the holidays alone." Lyric said.
"You won't be the only one. I really feel sorry for Ariadne, she'll be staying down in the dungeons alone!" said Ron with a shiver.
"But I thought Draco was in Slytherin?" Ariadne commented.
"Oh, he is, but he is also Head boy and he shares a separate dorm with the Head girl." said Harry.
"So who's Head girl?" asked Mantha.
"I am." answered Hermione.
"You're Head girl?" Ariadne asked astounded.
"Yes, is it that hard to believe?" she asked.
"No, I guess it's just my type of people never seem to get along with rules and such." Ariadne said.
"By 'your type' you mean gothic?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah." Ariadne answered. Yes! Another Goth!
"Well, Ariadne, no one at school knew I was gothic until this year."
"Oh."
"And I happen to have the highest marks ever in this school, but Harry, Ron, and I have disregarded the rules enough times to be expelled ten times or more!"
"Oh, but I am so glad there is another Goth in this school! Thank the gods for Sending Ariadne." she said
. "Well, thank you, and I'm glad to be here."
"I don't think Dumbledore will mind if we all crash in the head dorm for the holidays. It's plenty big enough." said Draco.
"That would be awesome!" Ariadne commented.
"Do you think I could borrow some clothes? All mine got disintegrated." she asked Hermione.
"Of course." Hermione answered.
They continued to talk through lunch and went on a tour of the castle afterwards.
