"Your lucky to have someone care for you," he said thinking about the fact that he has been single for a while now. "People like that are alway there to help you, and those relationship can last a while." he said finishing his butterbeer, finally.

Ashton nodded in agreement. "I hope ours lasts as long as it can."

Sarie wandered in to the Three Broomsticks. She just want to sit for a second. She saw Ashton sitting with a Professor. She didn't want to interrupt so she just waved and sat at the bar. "One butterbeer please."

Ashton looked up and saw Sarie. She sat at the bar, and Ashton gave her a look of confusion before smiling and beckoning for her to come sit with him. "Sarie, don't you wanna sit with me?" he asked with a smile.

Ashton laughed. "You weren't interrupting anything. We were just talking." He rolled his eyes and gave a slight laugh, "And I'm sitting here drooling over Maxi... as usual!"

Sarie laughed. "I should have known that by the look on your face, What where you talking about other than Maxi?" She took a sip of her butterbeer. She smiled at Ashton.

Ashton winced and hissed in pain when Sarie hit his arm, it was the same place his father had hit him on the last day of summer holiday. "I know." he said ruefully rubbing the spot with his other hand. As time had passed and Ashton and Maxi became more comfortable with eachother, Ashton had become braver and had started wearing more Muggle clothing in public. Much of it, like the shirt he wore today, clearly showed the many bruises and cigarette burns and scars that adorned his arms, and this particular showed the half-healed but still noticeable bruises on his neck and throat where his father had tried to strangle him. Oddly enough, being exposed like this didn't bother Ash one bit. In fact it probably helped. When someone asked him about the bruises he would tell them about his abusive father and how Maxi was helping him deal with it.

Ashton smiled. "I'm fine." He assured the young Gryffindor. "Just got caught up in some memories again." He sighed as he looked down at his arms. They were pale as death, and were sprinkled with bruises of all sizes, cigarette burns, and scars from Daniel's knife. A tear came to his eye and he quickly reached up to wipe it away.

Ashton sighed. "It's not as easy as you think Sarie. I live in the Muggle world, and according to their laws Daniel is my legal guardian until I'm eighteen. I could go to the Social Services but I've done that before, and they didn't believe me. They just took me back home. And he continued to beat me. I've even tried to run away, but the police always find me and drag me back home." He managed a weak smile. "But thanks for offering."

"You cant just stay for the holdays somewhere?" She was confused. "What does he lock you up in the house? I know its not really my business, but i cant seem him locking you up all summer in the house. Of it could be i dont understand muggle custody. I remember reading some where the police cant take you home if you dont want to go. Or was that in America. Like i said i dont really understand it. But i want to help." She ordered another butterbeer.
