' Then they weren't your best friends. ' Katya declared, ' Because from what I've watched.. People make mistakes. They screw up big time. But they have such a strong bond with their best friends, it extends past the voice of reason. It is so powerful, some would die to save their friend, if they were in danger. There is no way this bond could ever break. Permanently, anyway. ' She was sure of this. ' I may be wrong, but I would much rather keep the karma positive. You never know what'll happen most of the time, I doubt you can see the future. ' There was an airy look on her face, as she smiled slowly. No matter how much he shrugged it off, there was still a pained twinge in his eyes, Katya couldn't deny seeing it.
' Do you want to talk about it? ' Probably not, but hey, sometimes it helped.[/color]

Ash smiled, "If you say so." He sighed, "Might as well. I met Braydn and Felicity last year when I was the captain of the qudditch team, and they were trying out. We ended up being really close and started Calypso. Then, my little sister Carolanne, Laney to most people, came to Hogwarts, shortly after that, Cristian Matinez came and he met Laney. They started dating, but a few weeks later, Laney started acting weird. One night she ran out to the Forbidden Forest. Cris saw and ran after her, he.... he... saw her kissing my ex. Maxi Hennerdale." He sighed, "Turns out Laney has had feelings for Maxi for a while. Cris and Laney broke up, Cris came up to the common room and told me. I was still in love with Maxi, so I pretty much had a melt down." He smiled slightly, "A few days later, I saw him in Hogsmeade, or he saw me rather, we started talking. I realized that I had feelings for him. Feelings I'd had for awhile, but didn't quite know what they were. We started dating, and a few days later, we were at dinner. Fay stormed in and started yelling at me about how could I use her, and I said 'What are you talking about?' Because honestly, I didn't mean to use her. But she thought I did and she yelled that she would never speak to me again." He looked up at Kitty, smiling sadly. "And that's what happened."

Listening patiently, nodding and frowning at neccessary intervals, Katya arched an eyebrow, and incredulous look on her face. ' Wow. ' She mouthed, and if they had been words, they would've been breathless, as if she were at a loss of something to say. ' That sounds bad. ' She agreed with him on that part at least, but not the part about them not speaking again. ' But I dont think its as hopeless as you believe. ' Always trying to look on the brighter side, that was Katya.
Resting her hand on his shoulder with the hopes of it coming across as comforting, as that was all Katya hoped to achieve by talking to him about this, the Ravenclaw felt like saying something else, but couldn't find the words, so she just shut her lips, enveloping herself in silence once more.[/color]

Ash nodded and smiled, "Yeah, i just hope things work out with us. Fay and Bray were among the first to learn of my 'problem'." He rolled his eyes, he was of course referring to his father.

Katya cocked her head to the side, having heard nothing about this 'problem' that he suddenly mentioned out of the blue. It didn't matter though. Not the problem, but the issue of her knowing. She didn't need to. Nodding her head, as if to silently say I know things will, the Claw flashed a small smile, before drawing her hand back on to her knees. ' More time, then talk to them. ' She advised him, ' Or whenever you are comfortable facing them again. ' Whichever worked for him.
' I have a favor to ask of you, if you would not mind.. ' Katya began, a new look in her eyes, ' Could you perhaps introduce me to your friends? The ones you are not at odds with at the moment? ' He didn't have to, it would just be nice to have more people to talk to, besides him and Stacey. She was too outgoing a girl to have a small pair of friends; not like she wasn't grateful for their company![/color]

Ash smiled. "You probably don't know what the problem i'm referring to is." He sighed, "My mother died giviong birth to me, and my dad was so grief-stricken that he blamed me for it. When I was five, he began to neglect me and beat me. He would promise to stop, but he never did. It just got worse and worse. The beatings continued up until last year." Ash sighed, "It's still hard to talk about sometimes, but it's not like he can hurt me anymore." He looked down at his pale arms, the bruises were gone, but the scars remained. "Still there." he said softly, tracing his fingers ligtly over the scars, some were long, some short, some were pale, blending in with his skin, and others were a pale pink, slightly raised. Lost in thought, he just barely manged to catch what Kitty was saying. "Meet my friends? Sure." he said smiling, "Who do you want to meet first?"

Following his eyes down to his scar-ridden arms, Katya's lips parted in a silent gasp. Oh.. No.. She thought to herself, wondering why on earth he would want to purposely inflict pain upon himself. Here he was hacking away at his own flesh, and she was getting beaten up left right and center by the Slytherin's. The one on the lawn was terrible. Before answering his question, the Claw rolled out her arms, where the various bruises remained, appearing to look like a very vicious grip. Thicker ones, next to each other, were from their fingers, and their nails. Rising her solemn eyes to meet him, she pulled back the collar of her jean jacket, where more finger-bruises seemed to bulge. After that, she lowered her hand again, unable to say anything more for a few minutes after. It was her way of saying something important, but it was up to him to figure it out.
Shyer now, Katya shrugged her shoulders, ' I do not know. Whoever you want to first? ' A small smile tugged at her lips, but it was hesitant, like her eyes. Was he going to be okay?[/color]

Ash watched confused as she seemed to freak out. She...thought she did this to himself? "No. You've misunderstood." He said with a small smile, "I didn't do this to myself. My father did." he replied with a sad smile, indicating the scars. "Any of them? Okay, how bout I introduce you to Cris?"

Her hand flew to her mouth, as a sort of 'oh'. Nodding her head, to say she understood, Katya felt a slight wave of embarrassment rise up within her, but she fought it back, burrying it under the excitement for meeting his friends. ' That sounds nice. ' She mouthed, a smile on her lips. Govno! Her father must be some really mean guy, to do that to his own son. But talk of daddy dearest probably didn't tickle his fancy at the moment, so Katya dropped it, intent on meeting his boyfriend. The fact that he was gay - though it was a surprise until now - didn't even bother her in the least. In fact, she had always wanted a gay friend, funny as it sounded. They were such fun, nice people. Depending on their personalities, of course.
' What is he like? ' Kitty wondered, curiosity spurred again.

A bright grin filled Ash's face, as it always did when he talked, or thought about Cris. "To sum it up one word? Amazing."

His expression lifted imediately, and Katya couldn't help but smile along with him. Emotions were contagious; she was too empathetic a person to ignore them. Clapping her hands together once, an outword exclamation of her excitement, she nodded, ' I have never had a boyfriend. What is it like? ' She wondered, a, well, wonderous, look in her eyes. ' Is it nice? ' It must be, with him all warm and glowing like that.
Fiddling with her fingers, feeling as if she might be intruding on their personal life, Katya added, ' You dont have to tell me though, if you dont want to. ' She needed to get better at this conversation issue.[/color]

Ash sighed happily, "It's amazing." he replied a smile on his face. ((My muse is MIA (Missing In Action). Wonderful  ))

Well, he did sum it up in one word, though he already used it a few moments before. Must not be a man of many words when it came to that kind of thing. Maybe it was just because they weren't the best of friends, and he didn't share that info with anyone but. Whatever the case was, Katya didn't mind. ' Must be. ' She murmured silently, closing her eyes and listening to the steady crackle of the fire. So warm in here.. Could they open a window or something? Ick. Shaking off the feeling, she turned her attention back on him, but didn't really know what to say except, ' Who else are your friends? Tell me about them. ' Just to hear someones voice again.
{ Mine too. ^^; }

Ash smiled, "Well, there's Maxi. We decided to be friends, there's Girty Hubbles, Ryan Way, Leon Renolds, Jac Biggerstall, and there was Alyson Gravestone, but she left. And there's Maeve Malfoy. And of course there's my family. My sister Laney, my Uncle Robbie, his two kids, Mikey and Heavenly." He rolled his eyes, "And of course, there's daddy dearest." he sneered these last words, hatred and disgust dripping from his voice. He shrugged, "Luckily, I don't really see him that much."

Cristian had been doing nothing in particular. When he woke up on the common room sofa early in the morning, he felt like he was being suffocated as the atmosphere in the room was hot and stuffy and seem to have no oxygen in the air. Deciding to take a long walk around the castle grounds, he had finally decided it was probably cooler in the common room now that it was just hours before.
His long gangly legs seemed to glide up the stairs in pairs with somewhat ease, and reaching the Ravenclaw common room, he waited for the question before he took a few minutes to answer it. Opening the door, he thanks the doorknocker, as politeness is a virtue, and entered the room. It was still stuffy and hot, just what he didn't want. It seemed to draw his breath from out of him, or maybe it was the brisk walk up the flight of stairs, who knows.
Noticing a beautiful blonde girl with a denim jacket, and seeing the back of Ash's raven hair, he smiled. He had never seen her before, she could of been new for all Cris knew. He wasn't very observant.
"Hello hello, cworr, it's stuffy in here ain't it?" he directed the question to both 'Claws, however looked at the girl with a friendly smile while doing so. Pulling his shirt collar and wafting himself in a typical 'It's hot' fashion, he sat down on the arm of Ash's chair. |
