Life was back to normal for the hidden couple. Both still deeply upset about their return and extremely tired from jetlag. Ashlynn and Nora were put in a rocky position in their friendship from the argument last night. Both woman were too stubborn to apologize first, but also deeply wounded by the words that were spoken during their said argument. Amelia's new unofficial relationship with the latter was also putting a small damper on her friendship with the red headed beauty.

Ashlynn didn't think of Amelia any different, in fact, she agreed with her biased ways and opinions. Amelia and Nora were a couple, official or not, they belonged to each other. It was bound that the two would find each other in dear time.

Even during their quarrel, she was happy for the two. It's been a while since either of the two held onto the concept of love, both too scared to feel it again. She was just upset to tell George about the news.

Ashlynn was at the Ministry, trying to solve the case that was put on hold for her vacation. All the Aurors were working feverishly, the feeling of dress weighing upon them as they tried to find the solution to their case. Multiple Aurors came up to her throughout the day as they were updating her on the newest information they had withheld during her absence. You wouldn't be able to get the woman alone, not even for a second.

Everything was very stressful for the female Weasley. Things seemed to pile up around her, leaving her knee deep in work. It was also up to her to set up the masquerade ball that was going to happen in the upcoming weeks. Her head was pounding at all the thoughts that were consuming her brain. As people's voices were passing through her ears, her mind didn't pick up anything they were saying to her. A headache began to spurs, a familiar pounding banging against her forehead. Her hand flew to her head as it began to grow more obnoxious and less tolerable.

Suddenly, the door's to the department slammed open and echoed across the room. Everyone's eyes flew to the entrance. Ashlynn's hand lowered to her side as she looked at the person that stomped her way inside. Ginevera Molly Potter. She wasn't able to get a word out as Ginny's brown eyes flew to her figure and they lit ablaze.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you!" She exclaimed. Her hand was raised to smack her older sister, but Ashlynn caught her wrist before it made contact with her face.

A look of surprise overcame her features as she looked worriedly and confusingly at her younger sister. "What's wrong, Ginny? What happened?"

Ginny scoffed and pulled her wrist out of Ashlynn's grasp. "Don't act fucking daft now, Ashlynn. Your little secret isn't much a secret anymore, bitch." She raised her phone to her face that showed the video of Harry and Ashlynn dancing at the club together on Halloween.

Ashlynn didn't pay attention to the gasp and whispers that were being spread to the people around her. She didn't realize that George ran in to the department as well, completely breathless from chasing his sister around the Ministry. Her focus was on the video that was present on Ginny's phone.

Her worst fear had come true. Breathing became harder for her as it felt like all the air was being sucked out of the room. Her surroundings disappeared from her sight, the video being all she could see. It repeated through her mind, over and over again, dread seeping into her veins and spreading like a wildfire.

Her and Harry's affair was officially known.

"What do you have to say about that, huh?" Ginny shook the phone in front of Ashlynn's face. "What do you have to say about that - YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Ginny lunged at Ashlynn but George jumped in and pulled her back.

"Who sent that to you?" She asked quietly. Her eyes met with Ginny, ignoring the disappointed look on her older brother's face and the raging look on her sisters face.
