He knew by now that not everyone would be happy to see their former teacher working in Diagon Alley, so he was quite nervous to see their reactions. But really, what could he do? He just had to continue being his optimistic self and do his job! In any case, he was looking at a happy, genuinely laughing Ashley Fox for the first time, and the realisation kept his big grin plastered on his face.

.........Well she supposed it had never come up in conversation and did wealth really define a friendship. Lisa LIKED money but... Wealth... Wealth didn't really matter to her or knowing her friends were wealthy. She KNEW Daniel was wealthy because he ACTED like he was loaded (hence part of the nickname of why Batman fit so well - Mr. Bruce Wayne...) whereas Ash was down to earth. "I... I don't think you're dumb so..." she admitted quietly before adding. "I didn't know you were actually a fairy Princess! WOW."

At Ash's comment about running away, Lisa cast a weary look to the Tall Twenty Seven Year old. "Does she run away often?" she asked him before turning back to her friend. "Why would you run away from Dustin?" She was very curious WHY Ash would run away from someone who protected her... Well. If her father assigned bodyguards to her... would she run away? Yeah... She would run away too. "Never mind. I get it. If I had a bodyguard with me, I'd want some time alone too. No offence, Dustin."

"A wrist hostler is a good prize!" nodded Lisa after Ash had informed her what kind of prize that she wanted. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers when she heard Ash offer to try to win a jersey for Jasper if she couldn't. "Really!?!? Thank you. I'd be forever and ever and ever in your debt, friend!!" All Lisa wanted to do was do something nice for Jasper and now... she wanted to do something nice for Ash. Maybe if she won the jersey, she'd suggest they get ice cream. Her treat this time too.

The Shopkeeper guy approached them and knew Ash's name. Lisa leaned over to Ash. "Wow. You're famous..." she whispered before beaming at the adult. "Hi! I'm Lisa Nam! Ash's friend but you know that... I want to go first! " It was good that he knew of her as a friend of Ash's. They were good friends after all.


Ash laughed. “I’m not dumb, I just... all my intelligence went somewhere that wasn’t helpful for making decisions. Or, you could say that I think of all the consequences and then ignore them. Either way, I need to be saved from myself. And other people, but mostly just me.” Dustin nodded. Ash gave him the evilest evil eye she could, which wasn’t very evil considering the fact that she loved him and was very grateful that he was such an awesome bodyguard.

”She’s a fairy queen, Dustin corrected. He thought for a bit. “I want to be the king of tracking down people named Ashley who like to run away for no reason all the time and get themselves hurt. But also, I’d like to be the king of bookstores and glittery eyeshadow.”

Ash snorted. “Well Dustin, I don’t know anyone else who even WANTS to be the king of tracking me down and rescuing me from my bad decisions. You probably have to fight for those other titles though.” He’d probably win the fight though, considering he was a bodyguard...

“I run away because I get bored, and running away is the opposite of boring. And it keeps me in shape, mentally and physically!” That was probably not something she should be telling younger years, but oh well. HA. LISA AGREED.

Dustin rolled his eyes. Ashley running away kept him in shape too. He might as well quit working out and instead just practice chasing Ashley down crowded streets that he didn’t know very well. And, for added difficulty levels, add bystanders who stared at him, which was distracting because he was very self-conscious. Sigh. He understood the reasoning behind the running though, or at least Alex kept trying to explain it to him. “No offense taken, Lisa.” Actually, lots of offense had been taken, just not at what they were currently talking about.

OMG! Was that... “MISTER PROFESSOR SIR AGUILAR!!!” YAY. She didn’t even know he was still in the country... apparently not everyone wanted to live as far away as possible from Hogwarts like she did. Huh. “I didn’t know you worked at a quidditch place, or I would have went there to see you. She could have HUGGED him, but she didn’t because they weren’t standing close and also he might not like hugs. She liked that he called her ‘Miss Fox’ instead of just ‘Fox’. It was important to add something before the last name, or it would sound like Rosier. Aguilar was one of her most favorite professors. Too bad he got scared away. Ash whispered to Lisa. ”I’m famous because I’m super cool.”

Dustin had a sudden thought. Yes, a thought. He had thoughts, just like everyone else. “If those wands aren’t real, does that mean ‘muggles’ can play?” It was a good question okay!!! Nobody said he wasn’t allowed to talk!!!
