 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
"Oooooo, nice glasses Irithel. Very fitting and cool." She smiled. Irithel, always the optimist, was greatly improving her mood right now. "Cool that you're back. Hogwarts isn't always too bad. My arm is fine-ish, by the way. If I can use it, that means it works, I think." Not really. But Ashley went through life taking what she could get. If both of her arms worked reasonably well at the same time, that was a pleasant surprise. She ducked as Irithel threw confetti EVERYWHERE. She laughed, for real and not uncomfortably. This was fun. "Yep, that's Irithel. Guess what Irithel!!! The headmaster isn't here. So he can't yell at us for this." She scooped some confetti off of her plate and dropped it on Irithel, watching as it floated down. She ruffled/totally cooly messed up her own hair, getting confetti out of it, and also looking totally cool and deserving of the nickname Ash which made her sound cool because she was totally cool and not at all a killjoy. "Maybe he got fired. I'm not getting my hopes up. But I bet this year will be super great."
She turned to Eden. "Yeah, that might be it. Or it could be a fire thing, or it could just sound cool. Your idea sounds about right though. I like surfing and dancing and american football and soccer and basketball and martial arts and running and swimming. And some other stuff. Mostly all muggle sports though. I like flying, but I'm not all too comfortable with the idea of having a magical bowling ball trying to fly around and kill me." Noooo thanks. She thought that quidditch was more dangerous than any of the sports she played, and a little further from her comfort zone. "I'm sure a lot of people find it exhilarating tho."
