((btw, all my threads are open))
Ash was dress all in black, from head to toe. She had been afraid of anyone seeing her tonight so she decided to plan this whole thing later during the evening...like dinner? When most everyone was in the Great Hall eating. She turned around swiftly as she heard some shuffling near by. Although she found that it was only Pocko scuttling behind her. As she reached the owlerly, she extracted the white letter from her black robes. At random, Ash, chose a grey barn owl and attached the letter to his foot.
Yeah, she was being paranoid again, dressing in black and doing this whole thing during dinner so no one would find her.

Ray has just arrived at Hogwarts a short while ago, but she had eaten well before she left so she was not hungry and decided to take the emptiness of the corridors to do a bit of exploring. Going up at every staircase soon found herself outside the owlery, of course she didn’t know it was the owlery yet. She might have gotten here sooner if not for the fact she felt the need to stop every other corridor and watch the pictures or to study statues or suits of armor, several which had moved. After listening to a conversation of one picture she opened the door to the owlery and stepped inside. She was so amazed by the number of owls that rested upon the rafters that for a moment she did not notice the girl; this could not be said as entirely her fault because it was getting dark and the girl was wearing black.
“Hello.” Ray said brightly and raised her right hand in greeting.

Ash's eyes widened at the sound of another's voice. She turned around swiftly and stared at the girl with terrified eyes. " You don't know me." She said quickly, still staring hard at the girl and not daring to blink for a second, "I was never here, you were never here." she said clenching her teeth, hoping she would just leave and pretend this never happened. This horrible incident never happened.

Ray couldn't help but laugh as she answered, "That's right, I don't know you. And I am here, and so are you. Why so paranoid?" She knew the girl was doing something she was supposed to by how tense she was, but what she couldn't guess. She stared back at the girl, grinning as she looked her right in the eye. “I thought everybody was eating down on the first floor. What are you doing?”

She flicked her eyes quickly at the barn owl she was holding and stuffed it behind her back, "Nothing!" she said pursing her lips. Ash hoped that Ray wouldn't notice the fat owl behind her although she really doubted that. "What are you doing here?" she asked changing the subject, uncomfortabley.

"Currently? I'm talking to you. Why do you have that owl?" She had not taken any particular notice of the owl she was holding until she attempted to hide it. She knew that owls were used to send letters but couldn't think of what the owl was caring that was so bad the girl had to try and hide it; she also thought the girl was being rather stupid. Why not just walk over to the window and send it off? Why try and hide it behind her back when Ray had already seen it. She shook her head and laughed again. "I'm not an instructor or any type of official, why so jumpy?"

She's onto me... Ash's heart gave a horrible leap as the thought occured to her. Dear God, save me! She was absolutely terrified at the moment and hoped that this girl wasn't the type to tell anyone anything. Wait- no, she couldn't let some random person have the knowledge that she was... here tonight, sending a letter to...You-Know-Who. Ash gulped and didn't answer her question.
Ash shook her head, giving a fake laugh, "What in the world are you talking about, Dear? I'm not jumpy at all." She tilted her head, and moved towards the window, with the struggling owl behind her back. It was pecking at her hands.

"Sorry, do you prefer the term terrified? What about paranoid? or obviously up to no good?" She watched as the girl moved towards the window for a moment before saying, "I think that it would be easer to send the owl off if you were looking where you were going." She grinned in a friendly fashion and waited for the girl to let the owl go. “Who are you writing to, anyway? I suppose you won’t tell me though, will ya?” She titled her head to the side.

" No! I'm not paranoid, terrified and least of them all - up to no good." she said glaring at the girl now while still backing away towards the window. This was the worst situation she had gotten herself into this year besides the living armor and being locked in the Ravenclaw bathroom and butting into Artemis's situation with the ministry and - She stopped herself as the list went on. She had done a lot of stupid things this year although this was definately one of her worst mistakes.
Her hand felt something solid besides the owl which was biting the side of her hand now. The window... She lifted the restless beast from her hands and threw it clumisly out of the window. Hopefully, it didn't suffocated..

“You should have more respect for the owls.” She criticized as the older girl threw the bird put the window. She watched as it flew off. “Now that it is gone and these is no chance of me being able to read it, can you relax a bit? Maybe tell me your name. I’m Ray Jurnly.” She leaned back against the wall and studied Ash while waiting for the reply.

"There was no owl. You must see a shrink, Dear, all this holusinating isn't good for you at such a young age." Ash said with a fake concerned look on her face. She approached the second year, since the letter had already been thrown out the window and hopefully on it's way to Ivy. She placed a hand on her shoulder, "You don't need to know my name, its not important, really. We should get you to the common room, aih?" she said.

Now Ray could barely answer her for laughing. After a moment she waved her hand in front of her and said in a mystical voice as possible while choking on laughter, "These are not the droids you are looking for."
“Well, if you won’t tell me your name that just increases my suspicion about you. And A shrink? How would shrinking make me think you weren’t up to suspicious deeds?” She was rather confused, but still had a big grin one her face. Back home nobody called them shrinks. “I want to know your name though, incase we meet again, I can’t call you ‘girl who was acting suspicious in the owlery’ the rest the year, now can I?” She smiled sweetly and innocently as she could.

Ash glared at the girl, her curiosity was really getting on her nerves, this was really annoying, " When I say 'shrink' its a muggle doctor although, now that I think of it, that probably won't help you." she said now, pushing the girl towards the exit. "You won't need to call me 'girl who was acting suspicious in the owlery' for the rest of the year, because you will never need to talk about me nore too me." she smiled, she woudl rather be called 'girl who was acting suspicious in the owlery' than everyone knowing that she had been in the owlery, trying to get in contact with Ivy. She shuddered a bit at the thought of it.

"Your right. I do not need to see a doctor, because I am not sick." She stood her ground and did not let the girl push her towards the exit. With feet dug firm into floor she continued, "But what if I see you at a meal and want to say hi. Your not wearing anything hat says your house, so there for I can only assume that you are in my house and then there might be reason to talk to you in the common room." She continued to smile at the girl. “Besides the fact that you don’t want to tell me your name means that you have something to hide, so that would increase my suspicions.” She didn’t really need to know the girls name, and if she wanted to find it out later she could always point her out to one of the older students and ask who she was.

Ash bit her lip, she did not want to do this although this second year was managing to flare her up. Actually, now that she thought about it, she wouldn't have to. She took her hands off the girl and stepped away from her, "You won't need to know my name because you won't have to speak to me --ever." she said raising her chin. "Now, if you don't drop the subject.... I'm afraid I'll have to hex you." Ash said calmly.
She would never hex the girl, she was too much of a goody goody for that.
