Girty listened to what the Gryffindor had to say and nodded along in agreement. She seemed to be getting more sense and words of wisdom for Raquel that she ever would with Dan. Instead of listening he would have done his own thing and then instead of advice he would have given a long winded story that made no sense. No it was nice to have a different opinion, someone who Girty could talk to, and it did not seem to matter that she hardily knew this person. The smile was back on her face again and carefully Girty folded the photo back up and slipped it into her pocket, ready for the next time she felt low.
Ashton the white tiger seemed to be prodding Girty again and she guessed he wanted another bean so after a few seconds of searching she found another one and with careful aim through it at him, however this just happened to be at the same time as he turned back into human form and it hit him straight in the face.
A mixture of horror and laughter filled Girty’s face as she clasped her hands over her mouth almost to stop the laughter coming out as she stuttered out an apology.
“So sorry Ashton, I did not mean to hit you…are…are you ok? I know it is only a bean but they can hurt. And I think those ones might be going on to be a few months old so they will be getting rather hard.”
It was then she noticed that Ashton clearly was not paying any attention to her as he was talking with Raquel, who had somehow changed sides. Confused at how she managed to miss Raquel moving Girty looked from one side of her to the other with her mouth hanging slightly open.
Rubbing the end of her nose Girty gave up trying to work out something as insignificant as when and where people moved to an instead listened to the banter between the other two, throwing the odd jovial comment in occasionally.
“Oh no Ashton I have to agree, you are much nicer as the tiger…maybe you should make the switch permanent?”

Racquel burst out laughing as the jelly bean hit Ashton but quickly controlled it with her hand so it was just a quiet chuckle. "Oh dear, hope it doesn't leave a mark." She said after she regained control of her laughing. She frowned at Ashton's prettier as a human comment.
"I've been going to this school for years, even if we haven't properly met, it's quite difficult not to spot someone in the hallway one day. and I'll stay by that; you're cuter as a tiger." She said firmly and was even backed up by Girty, but she sounded more sarcastic about it.

"Ow!" Ashton glared playfully at Girty as he jellybean hit him in the head, laughing he stood up and dusted of his clothes. "I may be cuter as a tiger, but I don't think Max would be too happy if I made the change permanent." He said to Girty. With a sigh, Ashton sat down once more, and dug in his black AFI messenger bag for his sketchbook. It had been awhile since he had done any drawing, and he was afraid he might be getting a bit rusty. "So, either of you draw?" He asked as he pulled out various objects, such as pictures of him and Maxi, his wand, some parchment, a few quills, some textbooks and library books, some candy from Honeydukes, his eyeliner, and finally..."Found it!" He cried triumphantly pulling out his sketchbook with the black and red checkerboard design. Pulling out a pencil, Ash leaned against the wall and started drawing anything that came to mind. He drew pictures of Maxi, he drew pictures of the castle, of the lake, he drew pictures of his beloved guitar. While drawing, Ash kept up a steady conversation with the two girls, "So, Girt, have you started studying for the NEWTS yet? I'm not even taking them until next year, and I've already started studying!" He laughed softly, "How's that for getting ahead?"

Raquel and Ashton seemed to be getting along, in a strange way where they teased each other, well Girty liked to think that everyone got along and she just saw this as a strange way to show each other their affection. Even in her seventh year at the school Girty was naive to certain aspects of life, while other parts she was far more aware of.
Turning her head to look at Ashton a bemused smile spread across her face as she watched him dig around in his bag, which seemed a lot like her pockets. Full of rubbish and random bits that you would never really need but you know as soon as you take it out you will need.
Always be prepared that was her motto, although on the subject of exams it did not seem to fit.
“Oh er…my exam preparation is…well…I do extra charm lessons with Dan…er…but that is about it. I have not really been in the right mind set really these past few…months.”
Girty’s gaze dropt from Ashton’s face to his note book as she looked at his drawings as his slowly turned the pages. She stared in wonder at the detail on some of them, Girty could never draw, a Slytherin had tied to teach her once in the library but they soon lost patients with her, and that was the end of her very short artistic career. With a small sigh Girty turned to Raquel and grinned.
“What are your hidden talents then? Everyone I talk to seem to have one.”

Racquel watched Ashton dig through his bag which didn't seem to be any more organized than Girty's bag was. She was a neat freak so of course any sort of junk was where it belonged, in the garbage. "Been told that my drawings are great, but I don't think they're that special." She's also been told that she has a problem with being too modest, as if that could even be a problem.
Still, lured in by watching someone draw, she scooted over by Ashton. "Do you mind?" She asked, knowing that most people hated it when people watched them draw. She groaned a bit when Ash mentioned the NEWTS since she remembered that she hadn't studied a bit for her OWLS yet, but she kept quiet since she was too young for NEWTS to be of her concern.
"Hidden talents? What kind of talents?"

Ash snickered, his distinctive raspy laugh filling the air. "I think we all have some sort of hidden talent. We just have to find it." A smiled played on his lips as he drew a picture of Maxi sitting on their favorite rock by the lake. Maxi was sitting with his knees drawn up to his chin, and his arms wrapped around his legs. He was staring out over the water, smiling slightly, his windblown hair partially covering his face. Ash finished the drawing and like all of his others, signed it with his initials. A.J.M.
