| | Laundry Room  Ever wonder where your dirty underpants wind up? Just down the corridor, not terribly far from the kitchen, the door to the laundry room can be found. What you will find in this room will, likely, not be a surprise. Within are no Muggle washing machines or dryers. Instead, front and centre, are large tubs with accompanying wash boards and sticks. A bizarre system of clothes lines fill the back of the room, beside which tables and large hampers await.
If you happen to wind up here on your House's laundry day, you will see your clothes -- hopefully labelled -- and the clothes of your fellow housemates being washed and dried by a team of house-elves. It is not uncommon to hear them bickering with each other or joining together in a motivational song to help make the job get completed quicker. First the clothes are scrubbed squeaky clean with soap and steaming hot water. They are next hung to dry and then neatly stacked on one of the large tables to be folded and placed back in the hamper to be returned to their owners.
Students are always welcome to be proactive and do their own laundry or at least lend the house-elves a hand. There sure is a lot of laundry to do!

She smiled. Fun question. SHe really, really wanted to say 'the BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES' or 'my own TEARS' but didn't really think that would make her sound normal at all. "I like marker, and pencil, and paint, and oil pastel, and lots of other stuff." ALL THE THINGS. "What do you do in your free time?" Wait. "Did I ask that already?" One of the few times she couldn't remember stuff. Wow, that was like, almost all the art mediums he knew about. Ash seemed to be quite accomplished. ”Sounds like a little bit of everything.” They’d been too busy talking about other things to talk about personal interests so far, but they were going to change that. ”I don’t think you’ve asked already. I like taking care of the animals in the barn, playing in the treehouse, doing some arts and crafts, and playing games. And at home I like talking about dragons with my dad and playing with my sisters.”

I don't know. It's complicated. It's a love/hate relationship. It's very fun to burn stuff, but then afterwards it hurts a lot. Anyway... dragons are cool. What's your favorite type? I like Hungarian Horntails. And Swedish Short-snouts." Anything to distract from the fact that Ash, fully in control, had just said that she liked fire and did the weird staring into space brooding thing. |

Anything to distract from the fact that Ash, fully in control, had just said that she liked fire and did the weird staring into space brooding thing. ”Dragons are really cool! My dad works with them. Fire is cool, but it’s dangerous so you have to be careful with it. You’ve got to respect dangerous things.” Dragons weren’t the sort of creature you could hug and pet. Sometimes loving something meant you had to appreciate it from a distance because trying to get close to it wouldn’t be good for either party involved. Devin had a healthy respect for the dangers of fire instilled in him from a young age. ”Those are some types of dragons. Did you know that Swedish Short-Snout’s flames are so hot that they’re blue?” Devin took a moment to think about what kind of dragons were his favorite because each breed of dragon was special in its own way, so they were all really cool. ”Antipodean Opaleyes are beautiful. They’re native to New Zealand, but I’ve heard they can sometimes be found in Australia too. Chinese Fireballs are cool too because of the way their flames are shaped.” Just like the one on his shirt!

Ash nodded. "Mad respect for fire. It burns down so much stuff, and it hurts a lot, and it looks cool." Like Ash, maybe. "Blue fire. That is impressive." Ooooooh, opaleyes. "I live in Australia. I'll keep an eye out then." Devin sure knew a lot about dragons. "Your dad works with dragons? That's so cool." Her dad was a corporate CEO. It was boring, and they didn't get along. Ash's real family was her bodyguards and her brother. Or her friends. |

Fun to watch, not so fun to touch.” He smiled at Ash’s comment about blue fire being impressive. ”You live in Australia? That’s cool! What brought you all the way here for school?” Australia was pretty far away, especially using muggle means of transportation. Wow, to think Ash had come all the way to Hogwarts for her education and, well, it didn’t seem like the education Ash had been hoping for. You know, with Mr. Scary Headmaster and The Hoods ruining everything and LITERALLY THREATENING STUDENTS LIVES.

My bodyguards were like 'you're wizard apparently now and you're going to go to Hogwarts'. Maybe they wanted me to study abroad. Maybe they wanted me to learn magic far away to be safer. That kinda backfired, didn't it?" She smiled. Her life was series of bad decisions, most of which were her own. But making bad decisions was quite fun. "I like Australia. There's like beaches and stuff. And my friends live there." Home is where the heart is, right? And Ash's heart, well, let's just say it was in Australia. |
