Ok. Here's comment 3 of 5. Wow! I've got a lot to catch up on. BTW: Can you delete the other 2 comments please? I'm really sorry about them! My cousins compter did something weird! Ok. Back to the story. Quote:

His round stomach rested against the desk as he absent mindedly filed the wand receipts from the previous day’s visitors. I wonder who this Hrld guy is talking about? So many questions so early on in the chapter. Not complaining.  Quote:

Does that remind you of a certain part in Ootp? About this person they're talking about: she seems familiar. Hm...

Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom Ashtad had been distracted by a petite figure clad in plum muggle clothes that was moving quickly through the crowd, long brown hair lifting slightly as she hurried towards the lifts. “Yeah, course I am. Hermione Weasley, teenaged delinquent. Have you finished with those?” he pointed at the file containing the receipts. Haha! I knew it! "Teenage delinquent" That's so funny! I wonder who that person is? Haha! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Aye, take ‘em, much good may they do her.” Ashtad completely missed Harold’s grumpiness at being treated so dismissively. “You go chase that skirt,” Harold muttered as Ashtad dashed away, towards the lifts “And much good may that do you.” Haha! Harold's funny! Ok. Time to continue. Quote:

Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom She wanted to get upstairs, be lectured by Hermione and then go hide in the file room for as long as was possible. Hm... Considering it's Hermione, good luck Hermia! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom Most of all she wanted to avoid Ashtad. Good luck on this as well Hermia! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom She didn’t feel up to trading insults, not on less than four hours sleep. She jabbed the button urgently, raking her fingers through her long brown hair again and pulled at the hem of her dress, acutely aware of how short it was. Less than four hours? Wow! That's how much sleep i get on a day with a lot of homework. Now i feel sorry for Hermia. And she's wearing a short dress. Wonder what Hermione's going to say to that? Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Oh, come on!” she hissed, giving a dark look to the golden grille of the lift, almost as though she believed that it was being deliberately slow in responding to her. Now, now. Patience, Hermia, patience. Although i can get why she's being so impatient. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom She reached out her hand to press the button again and it collided with someone else’s. She glanced up to see who it was and frowned. Much to her chagrin, it was Ashtad. Ooh! This should be very interesting to read (not that your ff's aren't interesting). Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “I was going to ask if you had a good night out, but then I saw your outfit.” He gave a small chuckle. Haha! That's so funny! Good start to an argument, Ashtad! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “What’s that supposed to mean?” She snapped acidly.
“Well, you must have danced the night away. You didn’t go home did you?”
She listened closely for any trace of sarcasm, but couldn’t detect any. Haha! That's hilarious! These two always make me laugh! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “What’s it got to do with you if I went home or not?” Haha! Good comeback Hermia! Go girl power! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom She wasn’t about to drop her defences, Ashtad had gained the upper hand too many times before by acting like he was innocent. She examined her manicure and missed his frown. Good on Hermia for standing her guard! Well done! Ok. I know this isn't important but: Wow! Hermia's got a manicure. Did she get a manicure for the going out thing? Hm... Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Since I’ve been doing your job and mine this morning, it’s got quite a lot to do with me.” Wow! Good comeback! Go Ashtad! But the first bit sounds kind of rude. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom She was surprised at the sudden harshness to his voice. What?! "a harshness in his tone"?! What's wrong with you Ashtad?! Woah! Someone's angry. Is it jealousy? Because he's just being a teenager again no offence). Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom The lift arrived and he strode in to it, shoving the file of parchment at her. She dropped it and the receipts fluttered out like confetti. She crouched down to pick them up. OMG! What's wrong with him?! He's being very silly now! Ashtad: stop being so mean! You're a Djalili, you're not meant to be mean. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Mrs Weasley wants to see those, correlated and checked, as soon as possible. That means you were supposed to get them to her two hours ago.” He said scathingly, making no attempt to help her pick up the parchments. . OMG! He's being seriously mean, now! I never knew Ashtad culd be so mean. I think its his dark side coming through. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Are you getting in?” OMG! Ashtad's being so mean! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom She looked up at him, enraged. They had never really been friends, he’d spent most of their Hogwarts days driving her crackers with constant practical jokes, he was always ready to make fun of her but he had never been so blatantly unpleasant and rude to her. Before she could answer, the grille of the lift closed and it whisked him away from her. OMG! Poor Hermia! Why was Ashtad like that? Silly boy. Talk about a good exit, though. I have to admit that. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom Ashtad sat down at the Ravenclaw table, more than ready for something to eat. He hoped that the sorting wouldn’t take very long. He looked up to the top table. Professor Boot caught his eye and gave him a meaningful look that said Behave Yourself. Haha! That last bit is so funny! The "Behave Yourself". Reminds me of Fred and George, funnily enough. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom Ashtad felt slightly piqued, he hadn’t been at school long enough to do anything that would warrant such a look from his Head of House. He watched as the first years made their way towards the stool where the Sorting Hat was waiting for them. He noticed that one girl was rather tall for a first year. ‘Maybe she was on the receiving end of a Stretching Jinx on the train’ he thought with a snort of laughter. Ooh! He meets Hermia! This is so exciting! His idea is funny, though. A Stretching Jinx. Imagine. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “What’s funny?” Elspeth Muir asked from across the table, her short black hair gleaming in the candlelight.
“I was just thinking that kid with the long brown hair looks like she’s been stretched.” He said, flashing her a winning smile.
“Y’know, Djalili, sometimes I think that you were put in the wrong house. She’s a fourth year.” Elspeth replied scornfully. Djalili! Belly dance! Ok. Moving on. Elspeth reminds me of Hermione. And that bit reminded me of the time when the trio are going to be in their third year at Hogwarts and they meet Remus. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “How'd you know?”
Elspeth rolled her eyes “She was sat with us on the train. Her mother works with my dad or something, so I said I’d keep an eye on her until she got Sorted.” Yep. She does. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Oh, right, well, how was I supposed to know?”
“Well, you could have if you used your brain for something other than jokes for once.” Haha! That was such a funny comeback! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “I thought you liked my jokes?”
She pursed her lips. “Sometimes they’re a bit too much. There’s room in life to be serious as well. This is our OWL year, you know.” Unfortunately, that's true. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Oi! I can be serious when I need to.” Ashtad was insulted and frowned deeply at her.
“Well that really is news to me.” Elspeth shot back, with a look of great satisfaction on her face. Ok. That must have hurt Ashtad. It is still so funny. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Smith, Hermia”
“That’s her, now shush.” Ashtad frowned at Elspeth, annoyed at being told off again.
The girl with the long brown hair sat on the stool and surveyed her peers with a haughty, regal distain. She seemed to curl her lip at the thought of putting on the Sorting Hat, but did she did so without complaint. It took a long time considering her. She sat there, looking bored with the whole thing, totally unconcerned by the interested glances and whispers that she was drawing from the other students. Finally the hat shouted “Ravenclaw!” The whole house applauded and Elspeth stood up, waving at Hermia to come and join them. Hermia squeezed into the gap that the girls had created for her. They're in the same house! Yay! This should get very interesting. And there's only a year difference between them! Eep! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom Ashtad noticed that if she smiled, she could be sort of pretty but at that particular moment she looked bored and slightly annoyed. Aw!  Someone's getting feelings for someone else! I think i should stop now. Really. I'm getting ridiculous. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Welcome to Ravenclaw, it’s the best place to be!” Ashtad said with trademark grin, trying to make her feel welcome.
She looked at him as though he had just welcomed her to a dung heap. “And you are?” Wow. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Ashtad Djalili, at your service.” He stuck his hand out for her to shake across the table. She gave him an appraising look and shook his hand swiftly, as though afraid she may catch something. Djalili! I think i should stop doing that now. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom Throughout the meal he attempted to make polite conversation with her but it was fruitless, she only gave one word answers, if she replied at all. Eventually he gave up on her and joined in the debate about Quidditch with his friends. After they had been dismissed, he walked out of the Great Hall and up to the Ravenclaw tower. He was separated from his friends by a crowd of Gryfindors. Apparently the same had happened to Hermia. Aw! Some time for the two of them to bond (do forgive me - i think someone's spiked my orange juice). Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Can you show me where to go please?” She asked politely.
Oh you can talk to me when you want something, he thought. Right then, let’s be havin’ you…
“Of course!” He beamed. His thought is kind of true but she's still nice. At least i think she is. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom After ten minutes, with Ashtad leading the way, they came to the foot of a spiral staircase.
“It’s just up there, I’ll be up in a bit, I’ve just remembered I need to go and see one of the professors.” He allowed her to start walking up the stairs and scooted behind a tapestry to listen. Something tells me that something is wrong. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom A few minutes later there was an angry shout.
“Djalili!”
The sound of her feet against the stone steps covered his snigger. He watched her storm down the corridor through a small rip in the tapestry, an owl feather sticking out of her hair. That was mean. Ok. A bit funny but still very mean. The "Djalili" part made me laugh. Tut, tut, tut. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom Hermia was sat in the Magical Law Enforcement staffroom with her head on table with her eyes closed, a cup of coffee steaming gently close to her. She heard the door open but didn’t move to acknowledge that someone had entered the room. Wow. Talk about being in a bad state! Poor Hermia! Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “So, are you hung over?” Teddy’s amused voice came from behind her.
“No, just tired.” She moaned into the table. Ooh! Imagine being caught by Teddy. At least he's cool. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “That was a nice walk of shame you did earlier. There’s a charm to lengthen skirts you know. I’ve been casting it on Genevieve for a while now.” Poor girl. I hate the walk of shame (never had to do it but still). Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Thanks, I’ll look that one up.” She was still mumbling into the table.
“So, did Hermione mind you being late?” The unrestrained glee in his voice began to annoy her.
“You heard her, didn’t you? Her office isn’t Imperturbable, is it?”
“No it’s not. I have to say that my favourite part was when she threatened to transfer you to Magical Creatures if you did it again and you begged her not to because you can’t stand the smell of dung that they all have.” Wow! Poor Hermia!  Having Hermione shout at you like that wouldn't be nice at all. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom Hermia groaned, “So everyone heard then?”
“I think so, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they heard you in Magical Creatures. I’ll leave you to your coffee.” Aw! Poor girl. At least Teddy is nice. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom The door opened and Teddy left, holding the door open for Ashtad, who slipped in silently and sat at the table close to Hermia. He looked at her slumped over the table and his heart softened, the irritation he had felt with her earlier melting away. He looked at her slender arms and noticed that her pale skin was covered in soft, light brown hair. Without thinking, he stretched out his fingers to stroke her arm. Just as he was about to make contact with her she spoke. Aw! That is such a cute moment! I felt so warm inside (that' saying something because it's been snowing here). Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “Don’t think I don’t know you’re there Djalili, I can smell your cheap aftershave.”
His hand dropped onto the table with a soft thud. Aw! That must have been sad! Poor Djalili. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “So you’re alright then? I heard Hermione was hard on you.”
“Huh, you and everyone else.” His tone was kind, not something she was used to from him. She was highly suspicious and waited for him to speak again. As her head was still on the table she couldn’t see him staring at her wrist. He had noticed a platinum bracelet, set with the bluest sapphires that he had ever seen. Aw! So nice of him. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “That’s a lovely bracelet Hermia. You weren’t wearing it last night.”
She finally sat up straight, rubbing her forehead. The sapphires glittered as they caught the light.
“Thanks. Jago gave it to me this morning before I left. He had it made in Italy. He’s so thoughtful.” A dreamy smile spread across her face. Aw! It's sweet of Jago to give her such a nice braclet but poor Ashtad. Jago seems pretty romantic to me. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “And Jago is…” It was a question, a plea for information. Aw! Poor Ashtad! I feel sorry for him. Quote:
Originally Posted by HannahLongbottom “An old friend.” She took a sip of her coffee.
“Generous friend. I’ve got to get on, stuff to do.” Ashtad rose out of his chair suddenly and stalked away. Hermia wondered what sort of nasty plan he was formulating, oblivious to the brittle quality in his voice.
Ok. First of all "old friend"? Not saying anything apart from i feel so sorry for Ashtad. You can tell he's sad. Is it just me or is it weird that he changed so much? He was so jokey in Hogwarts and now. *sighs*
I'm very sorry for completing this so late. Hope you forgive me.
