[Hogsmeade] I've Got It Bad...

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash couldn't help but smile as he walked along the streets of Hogsmeade. It was winter, his favorite season, Christmas was coming up, and of course he was getting married! After he graduated of course! Walking along, Ash was singing softly to himself, a haunting yet beautiful song...

Hear me

You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I'm waiting
'Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I'm hopin' my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me

Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me

I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me

I'm restless and wild
I fall, but I try
I need someone to understand
Can you hear me?
I'm lost in my thoughts
And baby I've fought
For all that I've got
Can you hear me?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me

[Ilea McGregor]

Ilea had been out on this fine day, it wasn't too cold, in fact the weather was just right. Dressed down in a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt, it had been on of the very few occasions that she had off from work. The warmth of the sun beamed down on the womans face giving her a few chills, it would be a perfect day if she had someone to share it with. Thinking back on her meeting with Will, the Professor from Hogwarts, she couldn't help but to smile. He was absolutely amazing and she couldn't believe that they were going to be spending some time together later this afternoon.

Never one to be quite so indecisive about something, Ilea couldn't figure out if she wanted to dress up or go comfortably, it just really all depended upon where they were going. Snapping out of her thoughts by someone singing, Ilea looked up just as she walked right into a boy "I am so sorry. You ok?" she asked.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash looked up as someone stumbled into him, he smiled brightly. "Don't worry, I'm fine." he replied. Although he was more than fine, he was on cloud freakin nine!



((haha, Kris rhymed!))

[Ilea McGregor]

Ilea smiled when he said not to worry about walking into him, "You seem very happy. Good news?" she said as her smile grew wider. It wasn't very often that she would walk into someone and get that sort of reaction from them. Either way, Ilea was glad that at least he was having a good day.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash smiled, "Well, if you consider being in love, and engaged good news, then yeah. I'm doing great!"

[Ilea McGregor]

"Oh, well of course I consider that good news. Congratulations." Thinking back on the night before with Will, she looked to the boy and smiled in return. "I'm Ilea McGregor, you are?" she asked.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash smiled. "Ashton Laurent. Nice to meet you Ms. McGregor."

[Ilea McGregor]

"Nice to meet you too Mr. Laurent." Ilea said with a smile. Glancing around, she turned back to Ashton and asked "Would you like to grab a drink?" she asked as she pointed to the tavern beside them. It was actually Madam Puddifoots Tea shop, so she figured why not and it's been a while since she's had some tea.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash looked to where Ilea indicated and smiled, "Sure, that'd be nice." Walking over to the door, he held it open and smiled, "Ladies first."

[Ilea McGregor]

"Well thank you." Ilea smiled at Ashton as he opened the door. Walking inside, she glanced around and turned to hold the door for him so he could enter in behind her.
