Studying? *Gasp* -OPEN-

[Ashley Lovegood]

Wow, Ashley Lovegood studying. That's a first. She must be seriously ill or she just got some sense knocked into her head. Either way there she was, sitting in a chair with a pile of books at her feet. One of these many was in her hands, being read. Ash enjoyed reading, it was just that she never seemed to have time any more to enjoy a book, any book. Even if she did like reading, it would take a lot to force her to be studying.

She sighed and placed the book, open to the page she was currently reading, on her lap and looked around. Her bright blue eyes scanned around the library to find no one. Not a single person seemed to be browsing around the shelves were she now sat. What a bummer. There goes her excuse for not studying. Talking to other people who needed 'help' finding a book for there potions class tomorrow. The thought brought a smile to her lips, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. She needed to be working not slacking off. She was going to pass her classes if she had to have someone tie her to a chair and push a book under her nose. Now that she thought about it, she had plenty of friends that would commit such a crime. Forcing her to study, why it was the largest of all crimes!

OK, time to focus. She looked back down at the book, found her place and began to read once more. Hopefully someone would come and save her from this madness.

[Ashley Tapping]

There was ashley one evening sitting in her common room.....just sitting there she was not really doing anything in particular so she decided just to have a nice walk around the school. She got up walked through the potrait to get out of the common room. After a while of walking she relised she had only ben in the library two times that whole year! So she made her way down to the library.

She walked in and looked around for a good place to have a seat, she saw a girl sitting by herself and it looked like she was studing.Ashley walked up to her and asked,"Would I bother you if I sit down? Im Ashley Tapping, who are you?"

[Ashley Lovegood]

Yay! A person had arrived. Lowering the book, gratefully from her eyes she saw a younger student standing close by. A smile spread across the fifth years face at her question. What kind of person would she be to turn away company? "Sure, I'm just reading a bit." She said, closing the book and leaning over the chair to place it on top of the pile at her feet. She straightened back up and looked at the girl. She looked to be a few years younger than herself but her guessing skills had been so off lately she might as well ask. "What year are you in? I'm a fifth year, Hufflepuff." She stated with a smile. She was rather talkative today wasn't she?

"Me? I'm Ashley Lovegood." Ash replied, sticking out her hand so she could shake Ashley's. So they were both named Ashley? Cool! The more Ashley's the better!!

[Ashley Tapping]

As Ashley asked the question the girl put the book she was reading down and said,"Sure, I'm just reading a bit."Ashley then asked,"What year are you in? I'm a fifth year, Hufflepuff."Ashley replied,"Im a first year gryffindor."Ashley said smiling.She then answered Ashley tapping's second question by saying,"Me? I'm Ashley Lovegood." Ashley taping held out a hand saying,"Well nice to meet you Ashley.So are you studing?"
[sorry short]

[Ashley Lovegood]

"A first year? Cool. My sister is in Gryffindor..." She added with a little laugh. She was rambling but it beat doing homework. She smiled at Ashley, "It's nice to meet you too." She relied before glancing around the library. Well, at least one person had ventured to the scary library to see her. Well, not really but still..... Lovegood's attention was brought back to earth as the Gryffie asked if she was studying. "Yup, well was. But it was about my break time." She looked down at her wrist at her imaginary watch. "Yup! Break time." She said in a happy tone. She wished it was break time all the time.

[Ashley Tapping]

Ashley said,"A first year? Cool. My sister is in Gryffindor..." Ashley L then said smiling. Ashely T replied,"Oh thats cool whos's your sister?" Ashley then said,"Nice to meet you too."She then asnswered after looking around the room for a second Ashleys nexted question about the studing,"Yup, well was. But it was about my break time." She then lokked down at her watch and said in a happy voice,"Yup! Break time." Ashley T laughed and said,"So what subject were you doing that suding for?"

[Ashley Lovegood]

At her next question Ash smiled, "Eowyn Lovegood. She's a seventh year though." She added, thinking about her for a second. It had seemed like forever ago that she had first come to Hogwarts to find her sister here as well. She came back to the present and focused on Ashley's next question. Ash opened her mouth to reply, but drew up blank. She had to glance back down at her book quickly before she could answer. She hated that she could forget things so easily. "Potions, not my favorite subject ever, but oh well." She finished replying with a shrug. Ash was not very good at a few subjects and potions was one of them.

"So, what brings you to the library?" Ash asked out of interest. She pulled her feet onto the chair she was sitting on and placed her crossed arms on top of her knees. Her chin rested on her arms as she looked at Ashley, waiting for an answer.

[Ashley Tapping]

"Eowyn Lovegood. She's a seventh year though." was the answer to Ashleys question, she also said,"Potions, not my favorite subject ever, but oh well.So, what brings you to the library?" Ashley L asked Ashley T said,"Well i just have not been here in a while and decided to check it out. It still looks the same though." Ashley said in a laugh," But so yeah thats why i came down. So do you have any pets at all, I have a cat named Remy he is really cute, and i have an owl named Mia, she is a nice golden but also brown, she is sweet but sometimes has a bit of an attitude." Aslhely said in another laugh.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Ash laughed along with her. During her five terms not much had changed... actually, nothing had changed, all except the faces. Ashley liked new faces, they were fun to talk to.

At Ashley's new question the Hufflepuffs mind suddenly was in the owlery with her pet owl. She listened as Ashley told her of her many pets. Cats were ok, but Ash liked dogs much better. "I do. I have a white owl named snowy. She has to be the most demanding thing on the planet," She laughed before continuing. "I also have a puppy. He's a husky mix. I love pets!" She exclaimed with a grin. She wished that she could have brought her small dog with her to the castle but seeing as dogs were not allowed it was an impossible task. She still got to see him during breaks but they were a long time apart. She needed to see him, and soon.

[Ashley Tapping]

Ashley told Ashley that she had a owl and a little puppy, but she was not allowed to bring him. Asley said,"Aw thats to bad. What is his name?" Ashley asked out of interest."So do you like it here at hogwarts. more than you did your first year? Does it get any better, not that this isn't great for me right now, i love it here." Ashley said with a smile.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Ash smiled at the thought of her little doggie back at her new home. "His name is Spike. He has one blue eye and one brown, it's so cute!" She exclaimed with a grin. She loved her little puppy and really did wish that he was allowed to come with her to Hogwarts.

"Well...." Ash thought about it for a moment. She had enjoyed her second and third years the best, but she could not say that had gotten better. She had loved Hogwarts every year. "Not really, it was great all around. I love Hogwarts." She added with a smile that reflected Ashley's.

[Ashley Tapping]

"His name is Spike. He has one blue eye and one brown, it's so cute!" Ashley replied,"Yeah that would be really cute!" she said smiling and thinking."Well.... Not really, it was great all around. I love Hogwarts." Ashley said,"Yeah i love it here to i do not think it could get annybetter! So who's your favorite proffessor?" Ashley asked with interest.
[sorry short]

[Ashley Lovegood]

Ash smiled at her enthusiasm. "Yeah, I really don't think it could get much better here." She agreed, nodding her head. At her next question, it reminded her of the ever growing pile of homework that was now at the poor girls feet. Grr, stupid homework. Why did Ash have to have the worst focused mind ever? "Um... I don't really have one I like better than the rest," She concluded, after a moment in thought. She enjoyed almost all of the professors that taught at the school.

[Ashley Tapping]

"Yeah, I really don't think it could get much better here." After Ashley siad that sh then told Ashley that she didn't have a favorite professor, Ashley said,"Oh okay i was jsut wondering because most people say that proffessor Queety is there favorite, so i was just wondering." Ashley said as she looked down at all of Ashleys homework,"Hey when do you need to turn that stuff in?" she asked curiously.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Ash smiled, "Yeah she's really nice and all." It was true that Professor Queety was very nice but Ashley enjoyed all the staff at the school. At her next question, Ash was pulled back from her thoughts and back to the mount everest of books in front of her. ugh. "Nah, I can turn it in later. I was mostly studying anyway." She replied with a smile in Ashley's direction. She did have a few things to turn in, but nothing that needed to be done right at that moment.

[Ashley Tapping]

Ashley told her that she did think that she was nice and then she answered Ashelys nexted question."Nah, I can turn it in later. I was mostly studying anyway." Ashley said,"O thats good because i did not want to be keeping you." Ahh studing....... Ashley hated it. HATED IT! "Yeha i remember when i was in muggle school they called it homework, it was not that fun." Ashley said laughing. The idea of muggles brought her litle brothers back into her head, she missed them so much, she had not seen them in a long time.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Ash gave her a kind smile, "Nope, your not holding me up at all. Actually..." Ash laughed lightly, "Your helping me out. I needed a break but I was forcing myself to continue." Ash grinned at the thought. She was grateful that Ashley had come along to save her from the torture of actually having to study. That would have been awful.

"Really?" Ash asked, suddenly interested. She had never really gone to a muggle school and had always wondered about it. Everyone seemed to know somewhat about it besides her. She needed to be informed. "Could you tell me a bit more about muggle school?" she asked her, her tone excited. She hoped that she could give her more information than Bryce had been able to provide at the last dance.

[Ashley Tapping]

"Nope, your not holding me up at all. Actually..." Aslhey said in a little laugh. "Your helping me out. I needed a break but I was forcing myself to continue." Aslhey added smiling."Ok good so i was not holding holder you up." Ashley was relieved she did not want to stop taling to Ashley, she was actually for once enjoying herself."Really?" Ashley asked suddenly,"Could you tell me a bit more about muggle school?" Aslhey replied,"Yeah sure i could do that." Ashley thought to herself,"there was so much to tell about." Ashley then said aloud,"What would you like to know about?"
