"Actually, I was just looking to make sure Kiera wasn't storming over here to tackle me into the lake. That'd be just like her," Ashli said, shaking her head at the idea. She looked back at Declan, and gave him a curious look. It was one of her days off, so she didn't have anywhere to be. "So? You're a Gryffindor, your point? You said it yourself, I'm an odd Slytherin. I'm one of the few who stay silent during a rant about Gryffindors." Her green eyes narrowed slightly.

Declan smiled. "Are those rants as often as the ones about Slytherins?" Declan raised an eyebrow and walked past her pushing her slightly with his shoulder. "Now let's see a Slytherin would curse me if I did that. What would you do?" Declan asked turning to look at her with amusement.

"I Wouldn't know, I don't know how often the other houses rant about Slytherin." Ashli admitted. She wwatched, a little confused, when he walked past her, bumping her in the shoulder. "I could curse you, but I don't really think that's necessary. I honestly think I'd ignore it because I'm not mad." She turned on her heel to face him again, a small frown on her face. "Now if I were mad, then I would waste no time in cursing you." she pointed out.

Declan grinned. "Spoken like a true Slytherin, yet I expect you should know I would do the same thing." With a wink he added. "I should've been put in Slytherin but with a last chance to escape from my father. Gryffindor was my last resort. My sister's as well." Declan smiled. "Now what spell would you have used to curse me, I want to know just out of curiousity, and for when I get on your bad side what to expect."

"Probably just the simple body bind curse. But then again, it'd all depend on what the first curse to come to mind was." Ashli said, shrugging, the breeze cooling her still slightly damp face. She wiped her sleeve across her cheeks and the bridge of her nose in a small attempt to dry her skin. 'Note to self: Don't sit so close to the lake next time.' she thought bitterly.

Declan nodded. "Good choice." He admitted and then smirked. "I'm also curious as to why you are not surrounded by your friends?" He said turning to look behind him. "I don't see anyone around." Declan sat down and looked up at Ashli. "What's your ambition?" He asked. "Mine's to live through the year. Good one huh!"

Ashli looked around, pretending to be shocked that he was right. "I'm going to have to kill them later! They all abandoned me!" she fumed, though she couldn't hold back the smile on her face. She laughed, shaking her head. "No, I managed to escape for a little while. To be honest, I was getting a little sick of the common room. And speaking of friends, where are yours?" She tilted her head slightly.

Declan looked at her shocked. By her sudden anger, he felt a little embarrassed that he believed her charade and he frowned when his question was turned back on him. "I have trouble making friends, I'm a bit shy around people. I'm actually a little nervous talking to you." Declan confessed his ears turning slightly red as he realized he was right he was nervous.

Ashli smirked, chuckling and shaking her head slightly. "And why're you nervous? Because I'm a Slytherin and you're afraid I might curse you at any second? Or maybe because I'm just from a different house?" she questioned, taking another step closer to him and tilting her head. "Or maybe because I'm a girl... that you like?" She was only kidding about the last part, but who knows, maybe she was right.

Declan looked up in shock. "Uh." He couldn't find anywords and when she said the last part, shock caused him to jump up. "I_I maybe." He said trying to regain his calmness that had left him completly. After searching for his calm and collected self he frowned. It wasn't coming back. "Maybe I do like you..." He muttered quietly looking away from her. "You're likable. Aren't you. I mean everyone must like you, little squirrels must like you. Uh. Big burly seventh year slytherins probably ine up to get a glimpse of you. So..." Declan looked at his feet. Damn!

Ashli felt a blush creep over her face, covering her cheeks, the bridge of her nose, and her ears. "I- I, well, uh..." she stammered, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. It might be easier if she wasn't looking at him. "Little squirrels like just about everyone who d-doesn't try to step on them. And big burly Slytherin s-seventh years are the biggest jerks of all because they're full of themselves." she slowly explained, stammering a couple of times. The only good thing about this was that the blush was quickly dying away.

Declan looked at her in even more shock. He grimaced. "Sorry I shouldn't have done that. I mean I shouldn't have hit on you I guess you could call it that. I mean. Gah! Look uh, we practically just met. I uh." Declan frowned. "I guess I oughta just leave, I didn't mean to make it awkward." Why couldn't I have just denied it... He thought dumbly.

"I wouldn't say akward. It just caught me by surprise, that's all!" Ashli quickly explained, her eyes shooting opened. SHe bit the inside of her cheek, trying to find the right words to say. "Well, uh... I kind of... like you, too," she admitted, averting her gaze as the blush returning almost as quickly as it had gone, though this time not quite so servere. 'Damn! Kiera's gonna kill me if she finds out!' The thought made her panic for a second, but she quickly pushed it to the back of her mind.

Declan looked at her in utter amazement. "You... like... me?" Declan grinned and then a horrible thought came to him. Slytherin joke? He wondered but looking at the blush on Ashli's beautiful face he realized she was telling the truth. "Um, would it be too early to ask you to be my girlfriend?" He asked shyly. Trying not to look away.

Ashli nodded slighty to answer the first question, which pretty much was just a repeat of what she'd just said. "Maybe just a little. Besides, I'd like to delay my funeral just a little while longer." She smiled shyly, doing her best to hold his gaze. She bit the inside of her cheek again, so hard she thought it might start bleeding at any second.
