GIRLS ONLY! STAY OUT, POTTER AND WEASLEY! The funny inscription etched on this door with a potions knife reminds us all of the great deeds Harry Potter and his friends performed in this very bathroom. Today it is fortunately no longer nearly as shifty as it used to be. Nevertheless, this bathroom is still haunted by the one and only Moaning Myrtle and, if you happen to speak Parseltongue, can gain access to an empty Chamber of Secrets.
If you are ever in need of extra toilet paper or a towel dispenser needs to be restocked, there is a small cupboard across from the sinks containing all of the bathroom necessities you could ever need. Do the caretaker a favour and keep this restroom clean and in tact. The toilets should only be used for, well, your bathroom business -- not for brewing advanced potions. And please try not to upset Myrtle in any way so she doesn't burst into a loud fit of crying and wailing and decide to flood the bathroom and the corridor outside for the millionth time. Be nice to her, even if you must lie.
It seemed Ash wasn’t going to press her about who it was being mean to her. That was fine, she had mostly gotten over it since it was a long time ago, and she even got a smile from Kinsay James the other day which was good for her REP. Kinsay seemed like one of the ‘cool kids’.
Remy opened her mouth to respond to Ash’s criticism of her technique, but was put back into her place when she described it as mean and dangerous. She was currently feeling embarrassed, awful, like a bully. The thought made her face feel a little hot, like she was about to tear up. “I… I didn’t think.” It was a little boring in this bathroom, but that was a bad excuse. If she was bored, the natural solution would be to… you know, leave.
Her head tilted. “What could be scarier about this bathroom than Moaning Myrtle?” Apart from the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, of course, but she had full faith that it was safe nowadays.
Ugvggvhhh… more making her feel bad.
“I won’t do it again, I promise.” Remy took a few steps closer to Ash, and looked her in the eye with honest eyes. “I’m really sorry.” She hesitated from making physical contact with Ash, but she kinda did want to hold her hand to really make the apology real. That would probably scare the girl more than any bathroom door tapping she had done previously, so she refrained.
Remy shrugged. She wouldn’t give up her diary for anything, although those muggle ‘phone’ contraptions looked very interesting indeed. Albeit a little lazy and unsociable. She’d much rather seek out her friends and family in person for some proper time spent. It probed her next thought, “I suppose a phone would be quicker than an owl.” For letter purposes.
That was… completely fair enough. “Cool. It’s a quiet bathroom, and a good place to practise new hairstyles.” Remy nodded. She had spent some time with Dahlia in here for just that reason. Why was she spending so much time in a bathroom? It suddenly dawned on her that it was totally weird. She opened her eyes wide at Ash’s next statement. “What?! WHY?” Remy could NOT fathom not looking at her reflection for that long. However she was a person who worried about her looks, to be fair.
UM!!! Was Remy going to cry??? Ash didn’t know what to do with crying children!!! This was a disaster... Ash fought back panic and tried to stay calm instead. “Don’t worry about it. It’s fine.” It actually wasn’t fine, but she would say anything if it meant less crying. No crying. Anything but that.
What was worse than Moaning Myrtle? Lots of things. ”I heard that a couple people got tortured over there.” She pointed at a spot directly outside the stall Remy had been hiding in. “A professor, and a girl about my age. It was very sad.” Ash avoided looking at Remy. Not because she was uncomfortable, but because she was talking about herself and was trying to avoid saying it. She didn’t want to make Remy feel worse.
Oh good. They were talking about phones. Those were easy to talk about. “Phones are so much faster! If I wanted to text my boyfriend some drama, he could be updated in real time! If I wanted to call my older brother at 2 AM, I could!” And by ‘older brother’, she meant Minjae. She hadn’t meant to phrase it like that, because she didn’t actually have an older brother. She just had Minjae, who was sorta like a big brother because he let her call him crying at 2 AM. Which was something Remy didn’t need to know about. It was hard work, filtering out things to keep this interaction a positive one. Maybe because this bathroom was just FULL of bad memories.
Another thing she was trying to avoid? Explaining the mirror incident. That was another thing that would make Remy uncomfortable. She laughed, which was usually a sign of discomfort if you had spent a while around Ash. “I just don’t look in mirrors very often. Whenever I need to do my hair or makeup, I get someone else to help.” Ash acted as though this was a perfectly normal thing to do, which it was NOT. “I don’t like mirrors, cause I don’t like looking at my reflection.” That was a weirdly vague thing to say, but Ash didn’t know how to explain it better without explaining her past. Which might make Remy cry. So they weren’t gonna talk about that if Ash could help it. “It’s been a really long time.”
Anyway.
“Ooh do you like my hair? A girl I know put pink streaks in it again. I think it’s cute, now that I know what I look like.” Was it a sudden and not-well-executed change of subject? Yeah, it was. But it was better than making Remy cry.

Ash hated it when people cried.
No, she was not going to cry, Remy had much more control over herself than that, thank you very much. Besides, she wasn’t a kid. She actually felt very matured since starting this school year. In some ways she felt totally different to the girl who first arrived here. And her birthday was super soon, just saying. Remy didn’t buy Ash’s dismissal of the whole thing at all, and was fully aware that she had really hurt her feelings, not because she was scary, but because she tried to be make someone feel scared. Remy made a secret vow that she would make it up to Ash. Poor Ash didn’t know what she had coming.
O___O
Her mouth fell open a little as Ash explained. “Are you serious?” She looked back at the area Ash pointed to, right by where she was playing her prank. “Wait, do you mean… did that happen last year?” Remy hadn’t heard much of what happened at Hogwarts, mostly just the repercussions of the war from her parents. “Are they… okay now?” Merlin, she hoped so.
Remy nodded, fully convinced that phones were awesome, it hadn’t taken much to sway her opinion. Maybe she’d ask her parents about buying her one, although she wouldn’t have a clue WHERE to get one from. More importantly, the information she had pulled from Ash… “Do you have a boyfriend?” Remy was all for talking about boys… from other peoples perspective, of course.
Hmm, it sounded like a lot of effort to get someone else to sort your hair out every day. Although Ash’s hair looked lovely, in her opinion. “Aww…” she made a puppy eyed expression. “That’s not a nice thing to say. Why wouldn’t you want to see yourself?” She was very pretty. Remy could feel this conversation becoming a little too deep. She didn’t mind, but she wasn’t the best advice giver if Ash was about to unload some deep stuff.
“It’s REALLY nice.” That was honest. Her hair was one of the first things Remy noticed about her. “I would love to have some pink in my hair!” Although she didn’t think she’d ever be brave enough to go for it. Her hair was too precious to her.

Okay, but she LOOKED like she was going to cry. And she was younger than Ash. That basically meant that there was a little kid about to cry. That was how Ash saw it.
“Oh yeah. That. Uhh I think they’re both fine.” Could she really say that she was fine? Ehhh, sorta. “They got lucky. It wasn’t too long.” Ash was well aware that crucio could make you lose your mind. It wasn’t too late for her yet though. She was grateful for that.
But also, she still didn’t think that Remy wouldn’t cry if she heard that, so she didn’t say it.
“Of course I have a boyfriend... have you seen me?” Just kidding (mostly). Ash winked. ”And he’s a muggle, and his name is Theodore.” And he was super cute. AND he actually liked her (cough cough, hi Emmerson, cough cough).
Okay, maybe Ash was being a little TOO vague. Remy could be forgiven for thinking... whatever she was thinking.
”... I don’t wanna see myself in a mirror because it reminds me of being inside of one.” She poked the mirror. “Like literally inside of one. Like, seriously and physically inside of a mirror.” Which was probably stranger than whatever Remy had been thinking.
This was probably too much for a kid.
“If you want, I can refer you to the girl who did my hair. I didn’t do it myself, obviously.” She didn’t know how to do that, mirror or no mirror. ”I’ll have to show Theodore. I think he likes the color pink.” And she looked super cute with pink hair. Thank goodness she hadn’t gotten rid of her hair. It was so pretty.
Ash wanted to reiterate that she looked GREAT, but that might be a little much. Sigh. She’d keep quiet then.

Hmmm… something was fishy about Ash’s story. The umm and ahhing made it sound like she was making it up. Either that or… something else. She didn’t know, of course. “I’m glad they’re okay. Did you know them?” She hadn’t meant to use past tense, as if they’d died, since Ash had just said they were fine. Was she asking too many questions???????
Remy grinned at her attitude change. “Yassss, lookit chu.” She winked back. The conversation was always gonna be interesting but she was NAWT expecting her to say she was dating a muggle. How… AWESOME. “Really? Cool! Does your boyfriend know that you’re a witch?” Risky business if so!!
Theodore was a really cool name, too, just sayin’.
This time, instead of more questions, Remy wasn’t sure what to say. She felt like she had really made a mistake being here and trying to scare her, and something made her start to think that the person being tortured that they were just talking about MAY have been… Ash…?
“Merlin, no wonder you haven’t looked in a mirror for so long.” Couldn’t blame her really. “What was it li- we can… uhh, stop talking about it if you like.” Remy finally realised that she was pressing things a little too much. Maybe this was is appropriate, but Remy was very glad that she was not here last year. Honestly, she was completely oblivious to the events of last year, and she felt like people who were here kinda glazed over the whole thing.
GASP. “Yes, please!! Was it Dahlia? She’s real good at hair.” Actually, it was in this very bathroom that Remy had found that out about her twinny, Dahlia. She beamed again as Ash talked about her boyfriend. Awwww, so cute. She’d never admit it out loud but she wanted a boyfriend so much. A specific boyfriend? Uhhhhhh… maybe?

She beamed again as Ash talked about her boyfriend. Awwww, so cute. She’d never admit it out loud but she wanted a boyfriend so much. A specific boyfriend? Uhhhhhh… maybe?
Did you know them? Ash laughed bitterly and grinned. It was a tragic sort of grin, the sort of smile that you’d give after a horrible event. The kind that people had in movies when they were sacrificing themselves to zombies, or admitting that their lives sucked. It is what it is, maybe. Don’t worry.“Jeez, Remy. I’m not dead yet.” Ash didn’t realize until after she had said it that what she had said revealed too much. Well. Too bad. That was that. Whatever.
“Theodore doesn’t know. I’m not even sure that it’s legal to tell him? I’d be soooo dead if someone found out that I told him.” Perhaps a poor choice of words? “I think he knows that I’m hiding something, but he doesn’t suspect magic as far as I know.” He probably just assumed that she was hiding a traumatic experience. Which was actually true. The best lies were the lies that had elements of the truth. Father told her that. All the lessons she learned from her father involved lying, fighting, or taking control, actually. It was a theme. Unsurprisingly, he was a businessman.
And the thing(s) she was lying to her boyfriend about, aside from being a witch? Well, mirrors and crucios... they were in that category. “It’s fine if you have questions. I don’t mind.” Or maybe she did mind. But it was better for Remy to hear about stuff from Ash than from rumors and assumptions. Ash didn’t necessarily want to talk, but she didn’t want Remy to find out scary things later from some other person. Especially if that other person was a liar...
”Actually, Mal did my hair. There are a lot of people here who can do hair... not me. For several reasons.”
The first reason was that she had no interest in doing hair.
The second reason was that she avoided looking in mirrors.
The third reason was because that she didn’t like having anyone touch her hair after the first day of second year, when Rosier had pulled her hair.
Ash splashed her face with water from the sink. That way, if she shed a tear or two, it would be harder to tell.
She smiled again. The smile was a happy one this time. ”My boyfriend is the best, by the way. He always makes me feel safe even though he doesn’t know about the stuff that happened.” And she could confide in him about things that she couldn’t tell her little brother. Because they were some things you just didn’t tell seven-year-olds. To a certain extent, Ash felt the same way about first years like Remy. There were just some things she didn’t want to tell them.

This whole conversation was just a whirlwind of emotions, wasn't it?! Now Ash was laughing, and Remy certainly hoped she wasn't laughing at the poor people who were tortured. Surely not, she had seemed so hurt by it just now. Her response caused a little eyebrow raise, until the penny dropped and her eyes widened. "Wha... what?" She could feel herself getting all flustered again, like she was about to cry. Remy was very empathetic. "It was you who was tortured?" Ash was older than her but imagine a child going through something like that? Remy would never say it out loud, but she was so grateful to have started term this time around.
It made sense not to have told her muggle boyfriend the truth, especially since they were just kids, although it was still a little sad. Ash seemed super duper happy with him, though, and Remy beamed at her. "I think if you were to marry him one day, then you can tell him." You couldn't keep it a secret forever, especially if they had magical kids! It happened, you know.
Remy went a little quiet after Ash gave her permission to ask questions. Just because she had said that, didn't mean it was okay to ask them. Her curiosity took over, as usual. "How did you... get out?" You know - for future reference if SHE was ever in that situation. You never know with Hogwarts!!
Mal... Remy had never heard of a Mal. There DID seem to be many people at Hogwarts who were good at hair. This Gryffindor tried to be one of those, but she was just terrible. A ponytail was about all she could manage when making her hair tidy. "I'm trying to grow mine out." Remy ran her fingers through her wavy, unstyled hair that currently reached about halfway down her back. "I think my mum would kill me if I came home with pink hair." She grinned. Maybe when she was 13 and a teenager who could think for herself.
Not noticing the water splash to hide any sneaky tears, it was back to boyfriend talk, where there were so many different things to discuss. "He sounds great." Especially the feeling safe stuff, that was just lovely. "How did you meet him?" What she was TRYING to ask was - how do you get a guy to be your boyfriend?????

Had she said too much AGAIN??? Remy wasn’t gonna cry NOW... just when Ash thought they got past that point... bruhhh. She looked at Remy worriedly. Um um UM WHAT SHOULD SHE SAY??? Uh... “Don’t worry... it hurt awful but only for a little bit...” WAIT NO. That probably made it worse!!! “It’s fine now... I’m better.” Okay maybe she was making it worse. And lying. She’d shut up now. But like, no crying right??? She wasn’t even sure that Remy was about to cry but the possibility made her freak out and panic a bit. Subject change, please.
Luckily, they were talking about one of Ash’s favorite subjects, Theodore. She winked at Remy. Marriage, huh? “I’ll keep that in mind.”
And... back to torture again. Did Remy know that the things they were discussing were two separate incidents? Because there were multiple instances of torture going on here. “I got out of the mirror in the headmaster’s office because it broke during the war, and I just kinda waited until the crucios were over.” Depressing, wasn’t it? Unhelpful, probably. Maybe something she shouldn’t have said. Well, Remy asked a question, and Ash had answered it.
And they were talking about other things once again. This conversation was a bit of a roller coaster, no? “Hmmm, I didn’t think about whether Father would like my hair.” She shrugged. He was NOT in charge. “I guess he’ll just have to deal.”
She liked her hair. Her friends liked her hair. Theodore liked her hair. So what was the problem?
Had Ash mentioned that she liked nothing more than to talk about Theodore all day long? Okay, that was a lie. She’d rather be surfing with him. But you get the point. “I saved his life five years ago.” She smirked. Wasn’t that romantic? There was nothing like a near-death experience when it came to bringing people closer together. And that went for friendship AND relationships. “And then we were friends for a while. And then last year my life flashed before my eyes and I didn’t wanna die before I told him how I felt. So then I asked him out and he said yeah.” That part was a little sad, but... it was like one of those movies. Except for neither of them were toxic. That was the best part. “You know what? I think I saw my first sign of magic while I was rescuing him. Crazy.” And to be completely honest, last year in the mirror she thought that she had somehow traded her life for his and death was coming to claim its price. That may have been overthinking it a little bit. Maybe.
Ash laughed. “Isn’t this ridiculous and cute? Like, where did Theodore come from and how have I lived long enough to date him?” No joke, it was a miracle. And miracles like this were SO stupid and romantic. Ash couldn’t complain though. If Theodore, her little half-brother Brandon, and her real friends were the only good things in her life, it would be worth it. Oh NO. She was being unnecessary cute, wasn’t she? And she was smiling. This was terrible. Nobody could see her like this but Remy. This was their secret. Yeah.

Because there were multiple instances of torture going on here. “I got out of the mirror in the headmaster’s office because it broke during the war, and I just kinda waited until the crucios were over.” Depressing, wasn’t it? Unhelpful, probably. Maybe something she shouldn’t have said. Well, Remy asked a question, and Ash had answered it.
And they were talking about other things once again. This conversation was a bit of a roller coaster, no? “Hmmm, I didn’t think about whether Father would like my hair.” She shrugged. He was NOT in charge. “I guess he’ll just have to deal.”
She liked her hair. Her friends liked her hair. Theodore liked her hair. So what was the problem?
Had Ash mentioned that she liked nothing more than to talk about Theodore all day long? Okay, that was a lie. She’d rather be surfing with him. But you get the point. “I saved his life five years ago.” She smirked. Wasn’t that romantic? There was nothing like a near-death experience when it came to bringing people closer together. And that went for friendship AND relationships. “And then we were friends for a while. And then last year my life flashed before my eyes and I didn’t wanna die before I told him how I felt. So then I asked him out and he said yeah.” That part was a little sad, but... it was like one of those movies. Except for neither of them were toxic. That was the best part. “You know what? I think I saw my first sign of magic while I was rescuing him. Crazy.” And to be completely honest, last year in the mirror she thought that she had somehow traded her life for his and death was coming to claim its price. That may have been overthinking it a little bit. Maybe.
Ash laughed. “Isn’t this ridiculous and cute? Like, where did Theodore come from and how have I lived long enough to date him?” No joke, it was a miracle. And miracles like this were SO stupid and romantic. Ash couldn’t complain though. If Theodore, her little half-brother Brandon, and her real friends were the only good things in her life, it would be worth it. Oh NO. She was being unnecessary cute, wasn’t she? And she was smiling. This was terrible. Nobody could see her like this but Remy. This was their secret. Yeah.
“Don’t tell anyone I said that, by the way.”
O_____O
Her deduction had been correct. Remy couldn’t keep them in any longer and felt a tear roll down her cheek. She wanted to kick the persons butt who did this to Ash, which was a strange feeling of loyalty to someone she had literally just met. She felt like she had made a friend already in Ash. The Ravenclaw probably did not feel the same way since Remy was a bit much at times. She hugged her, probably making things worse by doing so, but she had to let her know that she was THERE for her if SHE needed to cry it out, too. “I’m so sorry.” Yeah, deffo making it worse.
“How were you…” more questions… “… able to come back to Hogwarts this term after everything that happened?” Remy wasn’t here at the time but even hearing about the details made her want to leave. Was this even a safe school? Some people said it was the safest place ever, but apparently not. “Do you think something like that would ever happen again?” NOPE - more tears coming. She was scared and wanted to go home.
That was a good attitude to have about hair. Who cares what your parents thought??!! Especially since Remy would be 12 very soon. Time to be independent.
Again, Ash talking about Theodore was Remy’s new favourite thing. “You saved his life? How?!” The whole bit about being friends and telling them how you felt caused a little bit of silence with Remy. She thought sooo much about doing the same with one of her own friends, but she didn’t think she had Ash’s bravery. Not yet anyway… besides, she was only a kid still, maybe these feelings wouldn’t last forever. That, of course, was not the way Remy saw it right now, though. Right now she was thinking wedding bells. “You guys sound like a perfect couple.” She commented, adoringly.
“I won’t tell anyone, promise.” Ash was being very open with her about feelings and such. She wondered for a moment if she should confide in the same way. Perhaps not - telling her best friend, Ollie, turned out to be an absolute disaster.

Ash hugged Remy tight. But also, she was confused. She liked hugs... why were they hugging??? Why was there crying??? AHHH this was scary. And Ash was panicking a little bit. UM... what was she supposed to be doing? “You don’t have to-“ What? Apologize? Cry? Care? “You don’t have to...” She didn’t know what to say. She wanted to cry, but obviously she couldn’t cry if Remy was already crying. That would make everything worse and it would be terrible and someone would come and kill them.
Oh nooo, she was scaring the children and was a horrible person. This was a disaster!!! How was she supposed to calm Remy down without lying? Deep breaths.
“I came back because I didn’t wanna have my actions be driven by fear. I hate being controlled, and I don’t like losing fights.” THAT SOUNDED PRETTY COOL. Anyway. Ash was not the type to back down, even if she probably should have retreated sometimes. She was pretty much unable to give up... it was good and bad at the same time. “I don’t know if something like this will happen again. It won’t if we’re all careful and learn from our mistakes. I don’t think a war will happen during your time at Hogwarts.” And there definitely would be no war for as long as they were hugging. Time stopped for people to give each other hugs. Well, it felt like that anyway.
“I saved him from drowning.” And she had... reason to believe that magic had helped her there. The universe had helped her out for one single moment. Maybe because the universe liked Theodore. The universe didn’t like her. Maybe that was why he was saved and she was doomed to an eternity of being a witch.
“Do you have a ‘special friend’, as Lisa put it?” Ash was curious. She had said so much but listened so little. Maybe that made her a bad friend. Well, she had already accepted that she was a bad person sometimes. This made very little difference.

Remy broke the hug when it became clear that Ash was becoming uncomfortable. As long as she knew that Remy was there for her, then that’s all that mattered. “Sorry,” for the hugging. “It just must have been terrible.” The worst, even. She wiped her tears away and managed to control herself now, just in time for some embarrassment to take hold.
Her new friend was very inspiring. “You’re so brave.” And Ash definitely had the right attitude, in her opinion. There was no point living your life in fear. Wars, pandemics - they happened all the time. “Hogwarts must have put extra protection measures in place for this term.” She nodded, more trying to convince herself rather than Ash. “Everything seems safe since I started. They take good care of us, although I’m a little overstuffed with bread!” Remy laughed a little, trying to lighten the mood.
“You did?!” Again - she was so brave. “That’s… sooo romantic.” I mean… uhh… not that her boyfriend almost died. You know what we mean.
Uhh… Remy had hoped Ash was so wrapped up in her own boyfriend chat that she wouldn’t mention hers. Not that there was much to tell on her end. “Ummm… no I don’t have a boyfriend, but…” she had already said too much!! “… there’s one friend of mine that,” she shrugged, “gives me butterflies and stuff.” She didn’t even know WHY. “But we’re just friends anyway, I don’t think he likes me in that way.” Maybe she should just be his friend for a few years and then confess as they were about to finish school. That’d be quite romantic, actually.

Um... yes. It was the worst thing Ash had ever gone through in her life (which meant a lot actually). And Ash was currently ignoring all of her emotions other than anger. And she used that anger to keep going. It was unhealthy to suppress all of those feelings, but if she felt anything she wouldn't be able to keep fighting. She'd just give up. She should have given up a long time ago... but she didn't. So where did they go from that?
"You don't have to apologize." She didn't even know what Remy was apologizing for.
Did Remy want to know something? Ash wasn't very brave, she was just crazy. And reckless and sometimes very stupid. But maybe there was also bravery there, and everyone else was lying to her about it to make themselves feel better. Who knew?
Ash let her eyes drift over to the spot of the floor again, then focused in on whatever Remy was talking about. She caught the end of a sentence. "If you ever feel nervous or uncomfortable about eating the bread, don't do it." It was important that Remy knew that the bread was not safe just because it smelled good. Healer Poppy was suspiciously nice and Ash didn't trust nice people who offered her things. And safety was an illusion. But that wasn't something she felt like saying aloud. She looked Remy in the eyes. "And if you don't trust someone, then listen to that feeling."Promise. Hogwarts might have seemed safe, but... it was a facade. Ash had never felt safe here, and that feeling had intensified over the years.
There were only a few places where Ash felt truly safe. 'Safe' meaning that even if she got hurt, she wouldn't get hurt badly. 'Safe' meaning that even if she got REALLY hurt, well... it was an okay place to... nevermind. 'Safe' meaning that nobody would let her get hurt anyway. And one of those places was right next to wherever Theodore was. Predictable, huh? She smirked. "If you ever see your 'friend' in mortal peril..." then maybe she could save him and then they would fall in love. No promises though. And almost-certain death situations were not situations that young kids should be in. "Just kidding. You have a long time to get him to like you, since you're in first year." UNLESS SHE DIED. OR HE DID. But that was not a nice thing to say. "Do I know him?" It would be SO FUNNY if she did. She wouldn't tell, of course.

Ash was right, Remy didn’t need to apologise. It was just one of those overused phrases that people used when they were sympathising with someone, but actually it made no sense. Feeling as if she had made the conversation even more awkward than it already was, Remy decided to not comment on the whole torture thing any further. They’d probably both appreciate that.
Remy lifted an eyebrow when Ash made suspicious comments about the bread. When she brought it up, she hadn’t meant for it to come across that way. Remy enjoyed bread, it was just a lot on her stomach to have some EVERY class. “Why would I be nervous about bread?” She wanted to laugh at the thought. It wouldn’t be POISONED, would it?? She’d seen Headmaster Trent eating it plenty of times.
That was some solid advice right there. Unfortunately, Remy was too trusting of others. She already could trust Ash with her life and she’d only just met her. “Thanks for the advice. I sure won’t.” From now on - CONSTANT VIGILANCE.
Remy grinned. As much as Ash and Theodore’s love story was lovely, she wouldn’t want to wish a near death experience on any of her friends. Mostly because she doubted her ability to save them. Get him to like you. BLEIUHJ!zz. This conversation was making her cringe. Remy wasn’t ready for any friendships being ruined or to even have a relationship at all - ew, she was too young. At the moment, it was JUST butterflies…
“Umm… I dunno, probably.” EVERYONE knew him. Remy sighed, “I haven’t really told anyone apart from my best friend, Ollie, and she totally overreacted, soooo I’m just keeping it a secret now.” Shrug. Hopefully Ash wouldn’t start making guesses, ‘cause Remy would have to lie and say someone else.

Ash thought for a bit. Why WAS the bread bad? Huh. ”I don’t know. I just- I don’t trust Healer Poppy and I don’t like how mandatory the bread feels. It’s everywhere and I’m not a fan. That doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with it... I’ll admit to being paranoid about some things. Just be careful, I guess.” There was nothing wrong with being careful. 9/10 times it wasn’t necessary, but 1/10 times it would save your life.
Ash raised an eyebrow. Probably? Hmmm. Hard to guess who she meant by that. But it was alright. In all honesty, Ash could care less who Remy felt butterflies around unless he was evil or she accused Ash of stealing him somehow. “You don’t have to tell me- even though I’d always listen. If people are gonna overreact, then maybe it’s better to not tell.” Ash did that. Not with crushes, though. Mostly with decisions, thoughts, and feelings. Although Ash seemed to say everything she thought about other people, there were a lot of things she thought about herself That she didn’t generally tell people about. “It may seem hard to believe, but I don’t tell people everything about myself the second we meet either.” She smiled. Ash didn’t talk about father. She didn’t talk about her bodyguards. She didn’t talk about the time Rosier pulled her hair or what happened when the mirror broke, and she didn’t talk about her motivations or certain things she wanted to do. She didn’t talk about who she looked up to, and she definitely didn’t talk about the person she might become as an adult. She didn’t talk about Mamie to most people either- only Devin and a few others had heard her side of the story. And although those things were different than a simple crush, there was a similar concept. Don’t be an open book.

Remy was starting to wonder (and worry) that she was being just a naïve little girl, the more she spoke with Ash. Everything the girl said kinda made sense, so why had Remy not shown any curiosity towards the bread before? Was it... BRAINWASHING her??! "Humm... you're right, it DOES seem a little weird. Merlin's Beard.. should we go to Headmaster Trent?" Or maybe Professor Recard because she'd be less scary to approach. "What if it's poisoned???"
She certainly would be careful, and would never touch that bread again!
She was pleased that Ash wasn't pushing her to tell like Ollie had done. Truthfully, she didn't want anyone to know, not while she knew nothing would happen, anyway. As for now, she'd just admire said person from afar. "Thanks. If he found out then I'd just DIE." She was dramatic, sure. "Maybe I'll come to you for advice in the future." Remy smiled. Since Ash was such a dating professional.
"I'm glad I bumped into you today!" If you could call it bumping into each other. Uhhhhhh, let's forget about the jump scaring.

"I'm glad I bumped into you today!" If you could call it bumping into each other. Uhhhhhh, let's forget about the jump scaring.
"I don't know," Ash admitted. "I don't think any adults would believe me." They never believed her, but maybe they should have. She wasn't usually wrong about people. Not like this, anyway. Ash had such a low bar for "people I tolerate", that when she hated people it was usually for a reason. Even if she couldn't put the reason into words. "Plus, then Healer Poppy would know. I don't want her to know." Adults. Not only were they terrible judges of character, they told each other everything and never apologized when they were wrong.
"It's not poisoned, because then we'd all be dead. There still might be stuff in it... But I have no proof. My only evidence is that nobody will tell me where the bread came from or what's in it. I can see suspicious behavior, but the actual bread has never seemed very harmful."Not that she could remember, anyway.
See, this was why everyone thought Ash was crazy. She never had proof... and when she was right people forgot about it.
"We should wait, I guess. See if bad stuff happens." It was really the only thing they could do.
Back to dating, again. Much more fun to talk about than bread. "I don't know that I'm very good at advice." Because her advice was based on circumstances that most people would never deal with. All the same... "I'll still try."
I'm glad I bumped into you today."A happy accident. A not-terrible coincidence." Ash grinned. This conversation had gone pretty well considering how one of the first things they had talked about was torture.

“I think…” maybe, she didn’t know anything, “… after everything that happened last year the adults would have to take it seriously.” Had to be extra vigilant… Remy liked to think extra safety measures were put into place, although it posed the question of whether it was too soon for students to return to Hogwarts at all. “Healer Poppy is a little… strange, isn’t she?” Remy whispered the last part in case someone (or Myrtle) would overhear.
GULP.
“I don’t think I’ll eat it anymore.” Yeah, she’ll stick to hiding sugar quills in her robe pockets. Remy’s mind suddenly went to 100mph, thinking of all of the friends she’d have to warn about this. She worried about them eating it right this second.
Despite vowing not to talk about it, Remy couldn’t help herself. Honestly it was all she thought about sometimes. “Do you think… I should tell him?” Did she even have it in her to do that? “… maybe I should wait until next term…” to see if the feelings were real, maybe, or just puppy love, a mere crush…. Remy didn’t know the difference.
Remy winked at her new friend with a big smile. Thank Merlin that she had not made an enemy today. It could’ve nearly gone that way!

Ash shrugged. ”I don’t think so. But that’s just my opinion.” Remy could have her own opinions- Ash wasn’t very into brainwashing people. “Hey, if they do the right thing this time, It’ll be a pleasant surprise.” Ash would love to see a miracle happen.
And as for the bread... Ash only ate it when she was really sad. Perhaps Remy shouldn’t have it at all. She would feel so guilty if something bad happened to the other girl. It would be all her fault because she “knew” something was wrong. “Maybe neither of us should eat it.” Maybe. Even though neither of them could be sure to keep that promise.
“Healer Poppy... I feel like she’s overcompensating for something. And she made us go to group therapy, so I just don’t like her. That could be making my opinion biased, but...” there was just something about her that Ash couldn’t stand.
She was still thinking about bread and Healer Poppy, so she was very confused when Remy started talking about telling someone something. She paused for a moment, then realized the girl was talking about her crush. Not something Ash knew much about... her crush liked her back and she had been too convinced she’d die to care if she got rejected. This whole thing about “what if he doesn’t like me” was not something she ever had to deal with. “Oh um... I guess you should wait a bit to see if you still like him and make sure he isn’t secretly mean. Unless you’re about to die or something, which isn’t gonna happen.” If you were gonna die, that was the perfect time to admit your feelings because it didn’t matter what would happen next. But Remy wasn’t going to die. Ash would never let that happen.
She smiled at her new little sister friend. She hadn’t known Remy for very long, but she already felt like protecting her. Who cared about bread and Healer Poppy? Nothing was gonna hurt Remy when Ash was there. NOTHING.

“I trust Headmaster Trent, I think.” Could she give a reason why? Nope. She was just a trusting person. “Plus, we’re almost at the end of term,” kinda, “if something bad were to happen then it would have happened by now.”
Remy held out her pinky finger as they were about to make a pact for neither of them to touch the bread again. If there was something up with the bread, then she cared about Ash not having any just as much as herself. She just had to tell all of her friends now, too.
She nodded slowly when Ash described her concerns about Healer Poppy. “Total creepo.” She added with a cheeky grin. “Hope she’s not here next term.” Because next term was going to be HER TERM.
“Oh,” Remy smiled and exhaled as she gazed off a little, “he’s not mean, I know that, he’s amaaaazing.” AHeM. Snapping back to reality, the first year cleared her throat. She had a typical school girl crush, and would probably admit something stupid like she loved him if she carried on. But it was honestly too early for all that nonsense. At least they were friends, and she didn’t have to spend her days gazing at him from across the classroom and not talking to him.
