Conall Wolf

35) Day at Hogwarts

POV Ashley Diggory:

Ashley woke up in her small house standing on the grounds of Hogwarts. As the Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts it is her duty to make sure that everything is looking neat at the grounds of Hogwarts, and that people have no worries when they are going outside. While Ashley wakes up she stretches and starts to make some tea. When she drank her tea empty she goes outside and starts to work with the things that must be done. She still had to work out some new classes to give for the exchanged students. She always wants to have as much practical lessons as possible, because she knows that the students love these classes.

Ashely starts to scan through her book with creatures to find if there is something interesting. She comes across the bowtruckles and smiles when she sees them. When she was a little girl she had her own bowtruckle, Merlin. He was her best pal, unfortunately he died a few years after she graduated at Hogwarts. With this memory in her mind she goes in the forest to look for the branch of bowtruckles in the forest. When she finds them she takes them all back to her house, where her classes are taken.

While Ashley is preparing the class, someone is walking up to her. She looks up and to her surprise she sees Robin Leavy, the minister of magical games and sports.

"Hey Robin, that was a long time ago that we have seen each other." Ashley says while she keeps preparing her class, making sure that the bowtruckles will behave normally during the class.

"Indeed Ashley, I think one of the last time must have been at the ministry." Robin says. He looks fascinated at what Ashley is doing.

"Well that was never a proper meeting, that was mostly greeting each other in the hallways. Our last proper meeting must have been back at Hogwarts." Ashley says a bit sad. Robin and she were friends at the time at Hogwarts. He was a Ravenclaw while she was a Hufflepuff. They had the same friends and hang out a lot of times together.

"I miss those days..." Robin says a bit sad too.

"Yeah me to, I am glad that I am back at this place. It brought a lot of trouble, but also a lot of good moments.-" Ashley says while she finishes. She now looks at Robin and she realises that he is really tired. "-Is everything going alright?"

"No... Never thought that this minister life could drain so much energy out of you. I am always looking up to the moments when I have to talk in front of people that I don't sleep properly any more." Robin says and he looks down, avoiding eye contact with Ashley.

Ashley sat down on one of the tables and looked at Robin. She pities him, he was always a happy boy at school and he doesn't deserve all this stress. Then she remembers something of their time at Hogwarts and she waves with her wand. A small bowl with marshmallows appears out of thin air and Ashely gives them to Robin. "Here, to cheer you up a bit. I know you loved them back at Hogwarts."

"Thanks Ashley." Robin says and he takes the bowl and starts to eat a marshmallow.

POV Faolán Wolf :

Their care of magical creatures class was over. Faolán enjoyed the class a lot. It was about bowtruckles and these little creatures were one of the cutest he ever saw, and really interested. He sees that Conall stayed behind to talk with professor Diggory. The classes were done for this day and together with Roselyn he walks towards to music room. They say goodbye to Thierry who is walking to Madeleine and now they have some alone time.

Faolán lays his arm around Roselyn and together they enter to music room. He is happy to see that the room is empty and Roselyn immediately walks towards to piano. Faolán takes the violin and together they start to play some songs. Over the years they are now one when it comes to music. They can feel each other and know exactly how to fill each other up, or to give the other his space when that is needed.
