"No." said Ron and Harry at the same time .
"Hey Hermione did she say weather or not she forgave me?"
"Yeah she forgave you."
"Guys um… I'm right here." It looked light she came right out of the wall.
"Whoa." Harry said as he jumped. "How did you do that?" he said.
"What?"
"You came out of the wall." Harry said. He was surprised he hadn't seen Ash in a while. 'She is so frinkin skinny' he thought.
"I was just standing there." She said.
"oh it just looked like you…" an owl tapped at the window.
"Who's owl is that said Ron opening the window.
"Don't know." Said Harry.
"Ash its for you." Said Ron handing her the letter.
She opened it up and read to her self.
Meet me tonight at six after dinner. Bring a jacket and a couple of galleons.
Draco Malfoy.
"Hey Harry ?"she asked
"Can I barrow some parchment and a quill?"
"Sure." He said getting them out.
"Here you go." He said
She started writing.
Ok ill meet you then.
Ashling Joyce
"What was that?" Hermione asked Ash.
"Oh just a letter." Said Ash now sitting down on Harry's bed. They talked for what seemed like hours. Finally Ron said.
"If you guys don't mind I would like to go down and get some lunch. If you ladies don't mind me and Harry have to change." Ron said standing up. Harry did the same.
"Oh and miss the fun." Said Hermione.
"Oh we cant stay here." Said Ash playfully. Harry and Ron looked at each other and started to take off their shirts.
"Ahhhh wait, wait we're going!" Ash and Hermione said running out of the room. They stopped fell down on the couch and started to laugh.
"You girls ready?" Said Ron coming down.
"Yep." they said in unison. So they al went down stairs.
"You know." Ash said to Harry playfully.
"What?"
"You have a nice six pack." Harry's head whipped around.
"I'm joking."
"Oh so now I don't have a nice six pack." He said. Ash started to laugh.
"Thanks for the rose." She said to Harry.
"Thanks for the phoenix." He said. Ash, even though she was mad at him gave him a bronze statue of a phoenix.
"No problem." She saw Draco ran over to him and gave him a hug. He felt how skinny she had gotten.
"Thank you for the necklace." She said and then whispered.
"See you tonight." And ran back to meet Harry. Draco felt a sudden surge of guilt. 'Am I the one who's made her sick?' he asked himself.
"So are you and Malfoy? You know."
"No not yet anyway." He looked at her I'm joking. They sat down and started to eat. Well everyone except for Ash.
"Why aren't you eating?" Harry asked Ash.
"I'm not hungry." She said. Harry looked at her worriedly.
"I'm fine Harry don't worry." For the sake of Harry she started to eat. Every bite she took made her dizzy. The food turned to ash in her mouth. (A/N: Ashling in Celtic means sorrow)finally after eating another ten bites she was sick.
"Guys I have to go." and she ran out of the great hall Harry right on her tail she ran into the girls bathroom. Harry followed he heard and her puking it all up. He made a pained expression as he heard her crying.
"Why did I eat?" he heard her moan. He started feeling sick turned over to a sink and heard Ash say.
"Harry why are you in the girls bathroom?" he ran over and embraced her.
"Its my fault." He said into her hair.
"What's your fault Harry?"
"I made you sick." She pulled away and looked at Harry.
"No Harry its not. I don't know why I'm just not hungry so I don't eat I just ate to much that's all."
"No I shouldn't have told the school you were attacked by Voldemort."
"You weren't thinking it just came out."
"Yeah well I shouldn't have kissed Cho."
"Well we can talk about that later." And with that they left and went up to the common room.
"What was the matter Ash?"
"I just uh forgot something."
"Oh ok." About an hour had passed before Hermione thought that something tense was going on between Harry and Ash.
"So Ash you know that letter you got who was it from?"
"Oh just Draco."
"Oh."
"Hey guys can we uh… go out in the snow?" So they went outside played in the snow for about two hours until all of their fingers were numb.
"Lets go to dinner shall we?" Ron asked.
"Yeah." Said Ash her teeth chattering.
So they changed out of their cold wet clothes and went down to dinner.
"So what did Draco's letter say?" Harry listened into what they were saying.
"Well he told me to meet him at six after dinner and to bring a jacket."
"Just the thought of Malfoy being romantic is just…" she did a little fake shudder.
"Hey! Once you get to know him he's really sweet." Ash said defensively.
'Oh yeah really sweet.' Harry thought. 'He's up to something I know it I have to follow them.' So when six o clock came around Ash went out of the great hall and met up with Draco.
"Are you ready?" Draco asked.
"Yep. So were are you taking me?" she asked smiling.
"Have you ever been on a broom?"
"No. Why?" he brought her to the quittich shed ,and got out his broom.
"Draco. I don't know how to ride a broom."
"Don't worry you can ride with me." He sat down on his broom and turned around to face Ash.
