"Actually, yeah," Arianna replied, nodding. She could've gone on about how tough her life had really been, but didn't want depress the guy. Besides, it really wasn't all that bad if it had brough her here, where all her friends were. "I live with them now, actually."

"Oh, well .. what happened to your adopted parents?" Nic was hoping he wasn't asking too many personal questions. He's always been inquisitive and thus far she was one of the most interesting people he has met. "If I'm being nosey just say hey N! and I'll get the point and stop."

"Nah, it's okay," Arianna assured him. "Just as long as I can bug you with questions, too."
She felt at ease with the boy and had no problem sharing as much as she had. True, she hadn't gone into details, but might come in time.
"My adoptive parents," she started out, then paused. It had been a long time ago and she didn't feel the need to cry everytime she mentioned the Marlows, but she still missed them greatly and felt some need to give a moment of silence before she spoke of them. "They died in a car accident. We were driving out to our new house in the country and....They were such wonderful people. I wouldn't even be here without them."

Nic looked shocked again. He couldn't help it. "You know I'm beginning to think that it's not only the ghetto that has death. I lost my mother too and in a way my father, but you lost both your parents. I'm...I'm sorry." Nic shook his head. He couldn't believe what she must have endured.

"It turned out okay, though," Arianna claimed with a small nod. "I have lots of good friends and it wasn't too long after that I was reunited with my real parents. It's turned out good."
"So, you lost your mum, too?" the girl then asked, turning to the boy her face etched with concern and sadness. "How old were you when it happened?"

"8 1/2. It's no biggie." Nic hurriedly changed the subject. "Yeah, you look good so you handled it well. So, tell me more about you? So far I think this school has like 1,000 girls and maybe 10 guys. I've only met one, Drew Thurman, or something like that. He's a cool cat, but I wish there were more guys. I don't even think there's enough to start a game of hoops."

"Drew Thornton?" Arianna suggested, naming the only Drew she knew. Somehow the boy always met the new kids before she did and it amazed her that he could do that. Perhaps he stood at the gates to wait for them. "He is pretty cool. Don't worry, though. He's not the only guy around here. There's our other Ravenboys, Hiro and Dan. Dan I haven't seen much of lately, though. There's also Mike, the Hufflepuff, and a few other Slythereins I don't know very well. I think they like to hide in their cave or something."

Nic looked at Ari and shook his head. "I meant besides the other snake boys. I met them, but their...loners. So there are at least," Nic tried to calculate in his head, "8 guys total? That could either really sux or could be good. Yeah I think I'll take it as something good. So...." Nic made his eyebrows go up and down. Then he laughed. "I'm kidding."

"More ladies for each man, huh?" Arianna asked, letting out chuckle. She shook her head slightly. She didn't know how Nic worked, but most kids around here seemed to go straight from liking each other to being in a serious relationship within a few weeks. She didn't think anyone else would think of going on a few dates with a few different guys before deciding to get serious with any of them. But then again, few others had ever been in a relationship before. Arianna had two such relationships under her belt and had grown more cautious after both suddenly ended with no warning.
"So what sort of things do you like to do?" she questioned, still wanting to learn more about the boy.

"Oh, snaps." Nic grinned at Ari. "Girl, I like all kinds of things. I just like to have fun without it being too serious. I don't want to get into too much trouble, but man I just want to do something. Anywho I play a lot of ball; pool; I even play some fooseball, ping pong, almost any sport. I'm there. You play sports."

"I'm seeker for our Quidditch team," Arianna replied, realizing suddenly how little she knew of Muggle sports. Even if she did live amongst them for a few years, she hadn't really learned to play. "I've played a little volleyball. I never got to play much of anything else, though."

Nic smiled. "Yeah and I don't really know what quidditch is. Reina yelled at me for that one." Nic chuckled. It was funny when he saw her face get all red. "I know little of the wizarding world unfortunately. I mean I know things, just. Look nevermind." Nic looked down, but then he looked up smiling brightly. "I'm beater for our team."

"They made you a beater? Even though you've never played before and know absolutely nothing about the game?" Arianna asked, only slightly surprised Slytherin would do such a thing. Of course, with Reina in charge, anything was possible and there was very little that girl could do that would shock Arianna.
"Wow," Arianna shook her head. "That Reina's a piece of work, isn't she? You know she took one of my books and claimed everything I had written in there as her own? I had to appologize to her before I could get it back. I still want to find a good hex that'll last the rest of her life."

Nic shrugged. "Something about not enough players and wanting to beat the cheating Ravenclaws or something." Nic listened to Ari's story and he chuckled and tried to hide it. "Let me get this right? SHE stole YOUR book. Then she made YOU apologize to HER to get it back? She's something else. I would have been livid."

"Oh, I was furious," Arianna admitted. Though she still got a not in her stomach just talking about the incident, a small smirk graced her lips. "I wanted to hex her to oblivion, but since she's a prefect and could get me in major trouble PLUS ruin my book, I had to be sneaky about it. She hasn't wandered about with green skin lately, has she?"
