If there was any way to have stretched an hour into eight without the outside world knowing, Charlotte was fairly sure that Professor Snape had it mastered. She'd fallen asleep twice during her single detention that evening, which had earned her a negative 20 house points. She was grateful that the charts in the front halls didn't explain each transaction of house points, but she also knew that when the Head Boy or Girl woke up in the morning & looked, they'd know it had been her that was responsible for the loss. Running her fingers through her hair to comb some of the tangles from her earlier naps out, she rounded a corner & frowned, stopping & looking around curiously. She could have sworn she'd passed that same lantern only a few moments ago. Ugh, these dungeons were a complete labyrinth, she had no idea how the Slytherins handled it. Just as she was about to pull out one of her quills & use the inside of her arm to try drawing herself a map, she heard the faint clicking of shoes coming toward her. Squinting in the flickering, dim lighting, she watched the figure draw closer until she was able to recognize them.
"Oh, Ashley. I'm glad it's you. I seriously have no idea how to get out of here. Do they put a little piece of cheese in the front of your classes every morning so you lot can mouse-maze your way out of here?"
The slightly shorter girl gave Ashley Godfrey a crooked little half-smirk, quirking an eyebrow as she patiently awaited a response to her obviously hypothetical question. Ashley always seemed to be around right when Charlotte was having trouble wriggling her way out of a situation. It was one of the reasons that they got along so well. Charlotte's general need for anarchy & Ashley's constant desire to follow orders seemed to make them a yin and yang, of sorts. |

Ashley was headed for her common room when she spotted Charlotte on her way through the dungeons
she instantly flashed the girl a look of concern and half-smiled
hey Charlotte coming from detention, again?"
she shook her head tsking playfully
"you are going to cause your poor uncle into early retirement
with all the shenanigans you get yourself into you know"
The blonde threw her head back and laughed then shook her head clearly amused
"come on i'll show you the way"
Ashley beckoned her friend to follow her with her finger and with a bounce to her step,
began to lead the other blonde through the corridors with ease.

Giving the other girl an exagerated confused look, she replied with a quick little, "Oh my god, I am in an alternate universe. I knew I saw a worm hole back there! An alternate universe where people still say shenanigans with a straight face." Charlotte smirked cheekily as she linked arms with Ashley, following her curiously down the corridors & trying to map out the area, making a mental catalogue of weak areas, places to hide, the like. She thought for a moment about the idea of Larkin actually choosing early retirement on stress leave because of her. Half of her wouldn't be surprised at all. She knew herself well enough. The other half of her would be shocked if someone like Larkin gave up a fight that easily - especially with a seventeen year old girl.
"It's so creepy down here. I don't understand why you can't install windows in the corridors like they did in the common ro-" she went quiet for a moment, clearing her throat. "They uhm, they have windows in the common room, don't they? So you can see the bottom of the lake? That's what I've heard." she insisted, shifting her eyes guiltily.

Ashley snorted at Charlotte and shook her head smiling
"shut up! you know what I meant"
she gave her friend a suspicious look when she mentioned knowing what the common room looked like
"Charlotte."
The slightly taller girl gave the petite blonde a motherly expression with an eyebrow raised in amusement
"how do you know what the inside of the Slytherin common room looks like?"
she asked her expression remaining amused as she stared the girl down.

Shaking her head with a little smirk, she dodged the truth to reply. "I'm just repeating what I've heard. But that doesn't answer my question. Do you lot just have some unrequited love of all things disgusting & creepy? I mean, it would explain a lot.." she teased. She wasn't generally a fan of Slytherins as a rule, with Ashley being the obvious exception, but it didn't mean she couldn't prod at her every once in a while. Knowing the circumstances of why Ashley ended up in Slytherin house made her a little more careful, trying not to mock or tease her about it too often in case she actually hurt the other girl's feelings. |

Ashley smirked in amusement and rolled her eyes with a smile
"Charlotte Lebeau when is the last time you have /ever/ listened to someone?"
she cocked an eyebrow and gave her a playful look once again
"you and I both know that I am not buying that excuse now stop changing the subject"

Charlotte stared the other blonde down for a long moment, her face perfectly composed, innocent, even a little bit of confusion was thrown into the mix. She tried to form her features to show the slightest hint of betrayal - how dare her best friend accuse her of -
"Here." she sighed, reaching into her pocket & digging out a small slip of parchment, handing it over to Ashley with a little pout. When unraveled, the page had a small list of the most recent Slytherin common room passwords scrawled on it in what was clearly a boy's handwriting. She gave a small shrug as it was handed off, looking away innocently. |

Ashley narrowed her eyes and took the piece of parchment scanning it over
"hmmm"
she hummed softly to herself then looked back up at Charlotte her eyebrows raised in curiosity
"who gave this to you?"
she questioned innocently.

Widening her eyes, the blonde shook her head & mimed closing a zipper over her lips to show that she was not revealing her source. She often would, but when it came down to it being a threat to receiving similar information in the future, she wouldn't risk it.
"Sorry, Ashley, not a chance. And I'm not letting any of your weird Bode-voodoo of sucking the truth out of people work, either." she insisted. Charlotte, along with many other people, tended to find it strangely difficult to lie to any member of the Bode family tree. |

Ashley widened her eyes and certainly didn't back down,
she gave Charlotte the very look that she insisted she not give staring at her instantly
"Charlotte. who gave that to you?"
she narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.
"was it Eddie Carmichael?"
Eddie was well known as a source for all students less then tasteful needs.

"Surprisingly, no." she revealed, smirking a little at this small victory. "But if you want to keep playing the guessing game & try to eliminate every student by that process then fill your boots, sweetstuff." she winked playfully, nudging the other blonde over-dramatically.
"Come on, Ashley. You know if I tell you you're going to land either of us in trouble." she pouted a little, "Besides, I gave it back." she pointed out, "let's just let sleeping dogs lie, mkay?" she asked almost edgily, turning to head back down the corridor, calling over her shoulder, "and hurry up, I'm still completely lost down here!" |

Ashley shook her head and sighed
"alright fine but please try and keep yourself out of trouble at least for a while...the bubbles incident is still fresh"
she nodded and bit on her lower lip hopefully and nodded
"seriously people are still talking about it Vanessa Vaisey wants to murder you..."
her eyes widened
"not to mention Mary-Jane Green and I heard Daphne is still hiccuping bubbles"
Ashley shuddered and shook her head

Instead of even trying to act concerned, the smaller blonde began cackling.
"Oh, no way." she giggled hysterically, having to stop & lean against one of the cobblestone walls for support to keep from keeling over, "That's so rad. Do you think I could get Creevey to get some pictures?" The idea of having the infamous photos framed on her wall for all to see made her giggling start fresh.

Ashley sighed deeply and frowned shaking her head
"Charlotte,I think you are missing my point here"
she gave the girl a serious look and rolled her eyes affectionately
"Please just try and lay low for a while?"

Charlotte frowned a little at Ashley's serious tone, "What's wrong? Those girls have always wanted me dead, what's changing now?" she gave a carefree little shrug & beamed contently. She'd likely get her ass handed to her one of these days, but she'd deal with that when it happened. |
