SPOILER!!: Daniel

Did artistic talent leave you?

Okay. So. The cinematic option would be to push Daniel and then accidentally have him fall over the edge, creating her tragic backstory and motivation to be a hero. The logical option would be to NOT do that. Ash picked the logical option, surprisingly. "Did your wonderful personality leave you?" It was heavily implied that he had never had a wonderful personality to start with. Was it rude? Yes. Was it deserved? Also yes. Was it better that accidentally pushing him off the battlements? For sure. Ash rolled her eyes. "Jeez, Daniel. I'm drawing stick figures. They don't have to be good. In fact, it's more comedic if they aren't. Consider the following. I monologue to you about the meaning of life and how my art is like life and how perhaps we are all just 2D figures drawn by the cruel universe on a piece of paper. Then you are intrigued, and ask to see the art. And I show you a bunch of stupid stick figures doing various stupid things. I would find that rather funny. Perhaps I should call this piece 'the meaning of life' and have it hung up in a museum, so that I can have a good laugh at everybody else while they try to make sense of it." AND. THE FUNNIEST PART. Humans really were like stick figures. They weren't the perfect people depicted in art. They were messed up stick figures. "This one's Lisa." She pointed at a tiny stick figure that did in fact look a bit like Lisa, then laughed. Because she was very sure that Daniel would think it was stupid, and that was amusing. "It's stick figures, Daniel," Ash said rather majestically as she stood up to her full height of five foot seven. "They're stupid. That's the point."

Was it obvious that she was messing with him? Because this would be so much funnier if he realized that she was having a laugh at his expense. She was just doodling stick figures out of boredom. Stick figures were not that deep, in her opinion.

He had been in search for Gellar as he wanted to use her hair as an magic experiment but sadly he had not found her anywhere. Possibly she was in the Slytherin common room crying over nothing. She must be. Arriving at the top, Daniel realized that ever since he had started at Hogwarts, his physical health had improved. Had they been at the start of the year he would have been out of breath by now. At first the Hufflepuff thought that he was alone but soon discovered Ashley seated on one of the wooden crates. From his position he could not see what she was doing so he moved closer with light footsteps. Once he reached the older girl he said nothing but looked at the stick figure sketch she was making on her notepad. "Did artistic talent leave you?" Did artistic talent leave you? Okay. So.
