Ashlee set the tea down on his desk. "My father and mother were the one's that bought me the dog I was supposed to have. They thought a pet would be a good thing for me since I'm an only child...." Ashlee looked down. "Who had basically no friends growing up." She softly added. She looked back up at the Professor. "But like I said before, my grandmother just wouldn't have it. I guess you could say that whatever she said was law for our family."

"So instead of the fairy godmother, you kinda had to put up with her opposing counterpart... hmm... no friends eh? I know how that feels. Being different... that was me. Always could do stuff just by thinking about it really hard. Like if i was hungry and wanted a chocolate bar... well, the store was one short the next day. When the local schools in the wizarding community accepted me, they found that i could do stuff by just thinking it. They thought i was possessed or something having not seen it done before. It took the monks who adopted me to realize it was a talent..."
Professor Ethelion took another sip of his martini. He gave Ashlee an understanding smile. "It'll be alright."

Ashlee smiled sweetly. "At least your talent will get you things." she said jokingly. "I have one too, although i refer to it as a gift. I can sense the beauty in things people wouldn't normally acknowledge. I can also find the good in people, even if they don't want to show it. Young Draco Malfoy for instance. There's good in him somewhere, I can see it." Ashlee giggled and sipped her tea some more.

"you can see it? Really? I can't get past his nose, it's too bright and pink for my eyes."

Ashlee laughed almost spitting out the tea in her mouth. She quickly put the tea down and covered her mouth trying not to laugh. She swollowed whatever liquid was left in her mouth and looked at the Professor. "Sorry, I didn't think I'd explode." she said red in the face from embarassment.

"No harm done, you certainly emptied your cup of tea rather quickly" replied the professor as if nothing had happened. Angelo meanwhile rolled onto his back and with his mouth open and tongue out, imitated laughter. Prof. Ethelion glanced at him, and couldn't help allowing a trace of a smile to appear.
Angelo then went over to the desk and fetched a napkin for his master's guest.

Ashlee watched Angelo and smiled. "At least he's not afraid to show what he's feeling." she gently grabbed the napkin from Angelo and wiped up whatever mess it was she made. Ashlee looked at the Professor then at her recently emptied tea cup.

"Yes... Angelo has the luxury of doing so. (Unless you were talking about someone else?) I learned not to..." Prof. Ethelion said.
He reached under his desk and brought out a boxed bottled of butterbeer. "This is yours, I believe," he said with a soft but firm voice. "I have other business to attend to... "
he got up from his chair, and handed the wrapped gift to Ashlee.
Before parting, in the hallway, he stopped her. he smiled, and said, "I'll see you around, and the door is always open. Enjoy the butterbeer."
SOME DAYS LATER
The door flew open...
Professor Ethelion staggered into the room, bruised, cut, exhausted. Angelo scampered in and whimpered at his master. He glanced around the room quickly, and drew a chair for company. "Angelo, ask the kitchens to prepare two drinks, a hot chocolate, and a Merlin with lemon sake."

Ashlee weakly dragged herself into the Professor's office. She let herself collapse in the chair and curled into a ball. She watched the Professor talk to Angelo then wrapped her arms around her legs.

Prof. Ethelion sank down into his own chair. Too tired to speak for the moment.
"ugh..." he glanced down at his body in the mirror on the wall. There was a bruise to the left eye that was starting to swell. A couple of ribs were probably bruised. There was a deep gash in the side that was still bleeding slightly.
He unbuttoned his shirt and then took off his t-shirt underneath. Using water, he washed his wounds, then using a healing charm on his left eye. He then noticed Ashlee curled up in the corner looking at him. He glanced down at his well toned body
"It's not polite to stare," remarked Ethelion with a light in his eyes.
He then put on new clothes. "How are you holding up?"

Ashlee looked down, her body still in pain. "I'm holding up just fine." She wrapped her arms tighter around her legs. She stared at her favorite jeans, which now contained new holes and tears.
Ashlee sighed and released her legs, leaning back in the chair. She looked at the Professor for a moment then smiled.

Ethelion pointed his wand at her clothing and said "REPARO"
At that moment, Angelo returned with a house elf bearing their drinks. "The lady first," said Ethelion
Ethelion then took his own drink and sipped it. Ahh... the taste of a Merlin is indeed refreshing.

Ashlee watched her jeans repare themselves. "thank you Professor," Angelo appoached her and she grabbed her hot chocolate. She bent down and patted the dogs head. "And that you as well Angelo." she gave a small giggled.
AJ stood up and pulled her chair closer to the Professors desk. She sank back down in it and pulled her legs back up to her chest. Ashlee sipped on her hot chocolate and watched the Professor with amusement.

"What's so funny?" asked Ethelion. "You seem amused."
Nevertheless, he smiled, adn with that smile layers of tension faded away.
"Thestrals, getting half killed, not bad for a first date. Wonder what's going happen next?"

Ashlee giggled. "You should smile more often." she took another sip of her hot chocolate then placed it on the Professor's desk. She took her hair, twirled it up in a bun, and placed a pin in her hair to keep it up.
She looked at the Professor and smiled. "I liked it." She paused. "Except almost getting killed... but that part had its moments too."
