Arielle slowly walked out to the courtyard. She hated being the new kid. It just all around stank. Last time she had moved it had been so long ago that she had gotten used to knowing everyone around her. Now though she had no clue where anything was or who anyone was. She pulled her cloak tighter around her as a cool breeze rushed past. She looked at the crest sewn onto her school robes. Ravenclaw. Arielle did not know why she had been sorted into this house. She had been told this house was for the smart and witty and Arielle had always been rather slow to catch on to things at her old school. But she had been told that the Sorting Hat always placed students in the correct house so Arielle assumed she would just have to wait and see.

I was taking a brisk walk through the Courtyard looking up at the sky. It was a gorgeous day, and I was really happy to be back at school. My summer had been pretty cool. I'd learned some neat tricks and finally been accepted by my underwater family....well not so much accepted as much as they now finally acknowledged my existence and claimed me as family. Well....more like that distant cousin no one really talks to or likes, but it was a step up from being sea foam in their eyes. I smiled a little to myself as my mind went to the new abilities I'd finally mastered. I concentrated really hard and then look in my hand where a ball of water was hovering above my hand. It had taken me years to finally be able to manipulate the water in the air...I was getting really good and close to perfectly freezing it. At that moment, I walked into someone I hadn't seen, and the water hit them square in the face. "Oh! I'm sooo sorry!" I said conjuring a towel for her. "Are you okay!!

Arielle was not paying much attention to people around her. There were a few, but not many. She was too lost in the scenery that she found herself surrounded by. Even at Beauxbotons, where there was amazing landscape, she had not seen scenery such as this. It almost literally took her breath away. Arielle suddenly felt herself being in contact with someone else a moment before her face got wet. She got her senses back pretty quickly and smiled at the girl who was apologizing. “No, no. It is okay. I am fine.” She said sincerely.

"I'm such a klutz sometimes! Are you sure you're okay?" I asked the girl as I helped her get up. "I'm Poseia Haggas by the way. Call me Siya the Klutzy One...." I told her still feeling really guilty about walking into her so rudley and embarrassingly.

Arielle let out a laugh. "No, no. It is okay. I am a huge clutz too." She said with a smile. "It is nice to meet you Siya. My name is Arielle, but people call me Arie."

"Arie...that's such a pretty name!" I said switching conversations very efficiently. I loved names that were unique like mine and Trinity's....this Arielle seemed like such a nice person too. "How were your first classes before break? I hope they weren't too scary on the first day...mine were pretty alright..." I said trying to further conversation. I loved meeting new people, and you could do that Hogwarts almost everyday.

"Oh, they were alright I suppose." Arielle said with a slight shrug. She knew she did not do too well in her classes. First off, she was not used to having classesspoken in English, and second, she was just not too good at the subjects she had in the morning. They were not really her speciality.

I nodded. "So where you headed? Before I 'bumped' into you...pardon the pun...I was just looking for something to do...." I began to say in my own sort of plea that whatever her plans were I hoped I could tag along before I died of boredom. Well....if I couldnt' hang out with Arie there was always the lake or possibly going to the Great Hall. There would be plenty of students there at about this time. I smirked to myself as I thought about the possibility of talking some cute guy from any one of the houses into including me into their plans today...I was so bad sometimes that it worried me. And then I'd laugh and shrug it off...

Arielle just shrugged. She found herself doing this a lot more now that she was not at Beauxbatons anymore. She was enjoying not haveing to be so propper all the time anymore. "I was just wandering. Nothing particular in mind." She said simply as she looked around her.

"Okay. I was heading towards the lake myself. You can join me if you like for a swim." I told her smiling as I started stretching. A good swim would help calm me and allow me to focus some more on practicing with ice.
