anna felt her face go hot. Ashley knew her WAY too well. "its not like i can help it" she mumbled. "believe me, if i could help it...ha." anna felt as if she had no chance with cedric, he was one of the most popular boys in school. But Ashley was basically the most popular girl in school. anna felt lucky to have such a great friend.

"You still have a chance...He's coming this way in....4 seconds..." she said still looking down at her paper. (since we are still short, I'll play Cedric.)

anna had the sudden impulse to duck, but realized it would be pointless as ashley was always right ... and in 4 seconds .. cedric was bound to see her. anna stammered "h-hi cedric" it was barely audible, she doubted he had even heard her.

"Hey Anna." he smiled his usual polite smile and sat down beside her. "So, what are you girls working on?" he asked. Ashley giggled. Knowing exactly how Anna was feeling right now, she usually felt the same way around Fred Weasley. "Oh, nothing really Cedric, just some homework."

Anna did her best to control her heart from beating out of her chest. Ashley's knowing smile infuriated her just as much as it comforted her. "I-I-I-I-I" her brain didnt seem to be working correctly. cedric.was.sitting.next.to.her ashley gever her a good nudge in the ribs that brought her firmly back to eath. "Yeah, Charms homework." in she hoped was a charming voice ... nearly knocking over her ink bottle while gesturing to the parchment.

Ashley grabbed the ink bottle before Anna had a chance to knock it over. "Eheh... Yeah, j-just homework....." she said looking straight through Cedric and Anna at a tall red haired boy, covered in mud, carring a Cleansweep and a Beater bat, as he headed for the table and sat near Wood, soon followed by an equally dirty twin.

Anna was grateful for Ashley's quick reflexes, but she knew not to rely on her now. With Fred in the vicinity, Anna needed to give Ashley a break. She turned to Cedric and asked him how he was doing with all the extra work they were getting for their upcoming O.W.Ls .. then turned to see if Ashley was being left out of their conversation, or if she was still turned toward Fred, George, and Oliver.

She was bright red and shook her head and collected her books. "Erm, uh, s-see y-ya l-la-later..." she said getting up clumsily and headed out of the great hall when not looking around, she collided Fred,the very reason she was trying to leave the room to hide her blush, falling to the floor and dropping her books. "eek!"

Anna missed the collision, and assumed Ashley was her usual confident self. She decded to take a page out of her book. Her conversation with Cedric was going fairly well, but as she as she heard the crash and turned around .. seeing Ashley on the floor she was unsure what to do. Should she leave Ashley with Fred to let things unfold? Or should she go rescue her from her embarassment?

Fred was on his knees beside Ashley, picking up her books. "Are you alright, I-I didn't mean to knock you over...I-I'm sorry..." he said picking up her books. Ashley was looking down and blushing , picking up some of her books. "Uh, um, er, it's all-all right..." she said quietly, pulling a lock of hair behind her ear. "Erm..." she looked up at Fred as he extended his hand to help her up. Slowly she took is muddy hand and he pulled her up. "Well.. uh, see ya 'round I guess..." Fred smiled and she nodded. "Erm, yeah, s-see you 'round I guess..."

Ash straightened herself out and staired at Fred for a second, then bolted down the row between the tables, past Darius and out into the entrance hall. Fred stood there stunned a bit by what just happened then slowly sat back down by Oliver a bit confuses. "What just happened?" he said shaking his head.

Ashley calmed herself out in the entrance hall then re-entered the Great Hall, she looked down as she passed Fred at his table and she continued to her table completely embarressed still as she sat down across from Annalise once again. "Hey Cedric, Annalise.." she said quietly, with a look of shame on her face.

Ashley sighed and looked down the table and saw Juniper, she thought for a moment pulled out her wand. "Wingardium Leviosa..." she said quietly and it lifted Juniper off the bench and brought her over to Ashley. "Hey..." she said quietly.

anna was unsure of what to do; she felt like a bad friend for leaving ashley to her embarassment ... but ashley seemed to recover failry quickly. Anna felt a surge of emotion for her friend as she sat down near her.

Ashley was a bit quiet and her face a bright red. She couldn't think of anything to say out of her new embarressment. Small sparks of red and pink shot out of the tip of her wand they were almost as red as her face.
