Chapter 5: The Clever Bit.
A.N. I do not own anything which is from Harry Potter, it all belongs to J.. Oh and if you have any ideas or any suggestions please tell me in my review
(Recap) James had just said something really mean to Ash, and she got upset, so she went up to have some alone time. She wanted to go down to see her friend, Poppy, and we found out last time that the only reason why James wanted to get close to Ash was because Poppy had saved him from Scorpious Malfoy and Poppy was officially the person James would always want to be with. So James got close to Ash but eventually he started seeing Poppy because he got along with Ash and because he got close to Ash, he got closer to Poppy! That's what happened last time in The Story Of Ash Phoenix. (Haha, I was watching Glee at that time and I wanted to do a recap just like they do at the start of Glee, so I'm probably going to do something like that for every chapter now!)
Ash lost her concentration and fell to the floor but no one heard. But does anyone know what she had seen? Yes everyone had known about it because every Gryffindor was gathered around those 2 first years. Everyone was screaming and laughing, but no one knew Ash had fallen. Now back to the answer, she had seen… (I'm going to describe this the best way I can) Poppy and James... Having their first kiss… Just like the first kiss Ron and Lavender. Ash had never imagined James would do this to her. She actually thought James was different, but James was James. Mischievous, Cunning and clever… Very clever! James knew what he was doing… Of course he saw Ash fall, and he was kind enough to get up and help Ash up. 'Get off me Potter!' Shouted Ash. 'I thought you were actually a close friend, but no, you just wanted to be friends with me so you could just be with Poppy. I should of listened to myself in the start, I just should have listened!' Said Ash while tears were running down her cheek. James was understanding, and he knew what he had done, wasn't the kind of things his Mum or Dad taught him. It was only his first year and he was already snogging someone he only met a few days before! Ash ran up into the Girls dormitory and then James went back to where he was before but this time he didnt start snogging, he went up to Poppy and said 'Poppy, I cant do this, I upset one of my best friends, and I wasn't taught to do this to people' Poppy stood up and smiled 'Haha… I know you didn't mean all this [Sarcastic] Since that day I saved you from Scorpious you have always wanted to be with me! But to be honest I never wanted to be with you' James smiled back and said 'You know your such an idiot, I seriously should of never had fallen for you, there are loads of other girls that are better than you, and I fell for the idiot' Then James walked off looking as mischievous as Peeves did when he was throwing furniture at Harry and Ron. Poppy gave a look and everyone finally quietened down while James had a royal exit with Hugo following him like a advisor and the radio playing a royal trumpet tune.
It has been a few months and has finally come to the month of snow, presents, love and happiness at Hogwarts. For Ash, it's a time without her family the first time but instead with her friends. Now lets start off introducing some of Ash's best friends and Ash waking up in the morning.
Ash woke up to a cold grey morning; the snow was definitely on the way! As she woke up, she noticed girls which she had never noticed before, there was a girl reading 'Hogwarts A History' with hair like Rose's (the same colour) but she had much straighter hair. Another girl on the left side of Ash had brown frizzy hair, who was asleep, but strangely fell asleep with glasses on her head. Lastly there was a girl who had freckles and who had long wavy blonde hair, who was casually singing Christmas carols in the morning. Ash got up and went down in the pyjamas when she saw Rose at the bottom of the stairs. 'Rose! There you are!' Shouted Ash as she ran down the stairs. Rose who was sitting down, stood up to give Ash a hug. 'Where were you all that time I haven't seen you for ages!' Said Ash. 'I know im sorry, my Dad and Mum called me and Hugo early before Christmas because their going to see my uncle Charlie in Romania' Replied Rose. While Ash and Rose were having a 'Jolly' talk, James and Hugo were in the boys dormitory playing wizard chess (obviously Ron had given his amazing chess board and pieces to Hugo) 'Knight to E3' Said Hugo smiling. 'Oh you really think you can beat me? Queen to E3' Said James to that. 'No, no, no you mean I can beat you. Check. Queen to E3' Whispered Hugo. James' mouth stayed open and had to believe that he got beaten at chess, well Wizard Chess! With seeing James' face, Hugo said 'Aha, you see my Dad is a master of Wizard Chess and he taught me!'
'But your dad is my dad's best friend and my dad taught me to let best friends win, so I let you win!' Replied James with as small grin… James was having a good time and so was Ash.
After James got ready, he went down with Hugo to see Ash and Rose doing a charms essay on the small wooden table by the fire. James didn't bother to give a glance at Ash but he went up to Rose and said 'Hey Rose, you okay?'
Obviously, Rose ignored him because she thought all the boys want to flirt with her! But then James turned to see Ash sitting on the floor. Yes he hadn't seen Ash in about 3 months but he had seen her again finally. 'Hey Ash, you okay?' He asked her. 'Yeah… I'm fine now Potter. I couldn't be any better!' Replied Ash without even looking at James. James desperately wanted to ask to go to Hogsmeade with her but he thought she was going to say no, he opened his mouth to ask but then Hugo starting giggling behind him so he shut it really quickly 'Yeah Potter, you better shut your mouth or ill shut it for you' Said Ash. 'Oh really? How will you shut it for me then?' Asked James grinning. 'Why would you want to know that now?' Said Ash as she turned to look at James. James looked at her face after 3 months but said nothing. He just winked and walked off to go for some extra Wizard Chess lessons with Hugo. After some long essay writing, Ash and Rose had finally finished and had some free time to find someone to go to Hogsmeade with the next day. Ash wanted to ask James but she didn't want to risk getting hurt again, Rose easily got someone to go with, she went with Teddy because she quoted 'No one else is capable to go with me except Teddy, he's a family friend!' James had told Hugo, Fred and Teddy all about his 'Beloved' and how he wanted her back and wanted to be with her. Ash just kept all her thoughts to herself though, she wasn't as loud as James! After getting back from the bathroom, Ash saw those 3 girls again, but this time the one who had similar hair to Rose's waved at her and said 'Hey, I saw you this morning!'
Ash smiled and replied 'Yeah, I saw you too! What's your name?'
'I'm Fiona. Fiona November' Said Fiona and added 'What is your name?'
'My name is Ashley Phoenix, but you can call me Ash' Replied Ash. Fiona's face brightened up and she said 'Oh, before I forget you can call me Fi' Ash smiled and said 'Okay Fi! Nice to meet you!'
Then another girl, the one with the frizzy hair, the one which fell asleep with glasses on said 'Oh so your Ash… That girl J…' She stopped when the other girl who had long wavy hair (the one who was singing Christmas carols in the morning) nudged her. 'Oh sorry, introductions! I'm Rhea... And obviously I know your Ash!' She said. 'Oh… Well, nice to meet you Rhea… And how have you heard about me?' Replied Ash. Rhea completely ignored the end of the sentence and said 'Nice to meet you too' While walking up to the girls dorm. The other girl, with the wavy hair said 'Sorry for her ignorance, my name is Rachel, and I already know your Ash'
'Oh its fine, some people are really like that!' Replied Ash while giggling. Then Rhea shouted Rachel so Rachel ran without saying bye, as if it was like someone was dying!
So now it was back to Rose and Ash. They didn't really know what to say… So Ash chose the choice of telling all of her feelings to Rose, because she trusted her of course! It took almost an hour for Ash to tell everything to Rose and as soon as she had finished, Rose was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth!
Obviously it was a shock… Now it was turning 10pm and Ash and Rose decided to go to bed, since they didn't want to wake up late tomorrow, as it was Christmas!
So Ash and Rose both went up to go to sleep.
It became 12am, and Hooter (Remember: Ash's Owl is called Hooter) was rattling his cage so hard it woke up Ash, Rose, Fi, Rhea and Rachel all woke up at the same time. 'What's the matter Hooter? Cant you see everyone is trying to sleep?' Said Ash. But Hooter wouldn't shut up! But then Fi had seen what hooter was trying to tell…
To Be Continued…
A.N. If your wondering why I randomly added these new girls into my story because I thought I needed more people and anyway, like I said, I will be adding some of my friends and if you look at my profile it says who my friends are. And To my friend Fizzydrink698, the girl I made who had hair like Rose's but straighter and who's name is Fiona is something for you :D
