Raising an eyebrow slightly, Phe seemed to dance over a few things in her head before sighing and opening her mouth to speak. "Why are you in Slytherin?" She questioned, sounding genuinely intrigued. "I mean, it's quite clear you're more fitting for the likes of..." shrugging her shoulders, Phe added the finishing word to her sentence like it came with a bad taste ".. Ravenclaw." Ravenclaw, she was almost surprised how harshly her tone came out, her best friend was a member of that house. Though, of course, anyone who came across Fox was unlikely to believe that he'd be in the house of the blue. No, he was cunning, he had the qualities that Phe approved of, that her mother approved of. Foxers and Phe went way back, before the houses even mattered.

"well...." Ashley frowned not being a fan of this conversation "Thierry Montague seemed under the impression that I am an evil genius" she laughed nervously then shrugged looking down at the ground "this is just the house I am in I suppose...I never really thought it mattered much I mean this house has been in my mothers family for decades growing it was just automatically known to me Slytherin or Beauxbatons..."

"Ha-ha, that's um, cute-" Phe spoke as she glanced down at her nails, checking the varnish on them. "Thierry has less brain cells in his head than a plank of wood." She added, glancing up at Ashley. "So I wouldn't hold on to the idea of that one." Smirking slightly, Phe nodded her head. "Scared of disappointing your mother, Ashley?" She questioned rather simply.

Ashley instantly looked uncomfortable but kept it together "any child that has respect for their parents would not want to disappoint them" she shrugged and smiled.

Raising an eyebrow, Phe nodded her head simply. She understood fully the idea of not wanting to disrespect parents - not that Phe would dare to, as much as she cared about what her mother had to say - and although she wouldn't admit it - she was somewhat scared of getting on Cressa's bad side. As would anyone who met her would be. She was a somewhat ruthless woman. "This is true, though, if you're anything to go by then surely your family would understand that in the end you'd make your own choices correctly?" For Ophelia, it wasn't that she was being mean, just logical, the way Ashley seemed to act must of come from her upbringing and as far as Ophelia was concerned, for Ashely to come out on the straight and narrow she must of been in a loving household.

Ashley smiled sadly and nodded "they do, I don't know I mean sure I wanted to be in Slytherin to make my mom happy so maybe the hat could just really tell and you know sometimes people just surprise you and there are unknown reasons why people are in their house I um....I don't know" She shrugged and cleared her throat desperately wanting the subject to change "so how is Luke?" Ashley asked stupidly trying to think of the first thing that would draw Ophelia's attention away.

Phe half smiled, as though she was really trying to make an effort. "You're just not the cunning type." She answered simply. "And although you're intelligent, it's book smart, not street smart." Shrugging the matter off, Phe wasn't all that bothered about debating it, besides, it didn't really matter to her all that much.
"Luke?" Phe questioned, suddenly seeming a little defensive. "I wouldn't know, would I." She added simply. "I thought it was common knowledge we'd broken up." She added, putting on a blank, unreadable, expression.

Ashley frowned and cocked an eyebrow she certainly felt she was both book and street smart but thought it would be best not to argue, when Ophelia mentioned Luke Ashley instantly blushed and frowned "I'm sorry I-I didn't know I don't really um...I don't know much about the talk of the school I'm sorry" she said genuinely her eyes sympathetic.

Phe glanced down, clearly the mention of Luke made her mood feel like it was going a little south. Exhaling softly, she looked up, plastering a smile on her face. Forcing herself to look like she didn't care. "It's fine." She answered, sounding a little more stern than she intended. "Some things just don't work out, I'm not going to cry myself to sleep over some guy."

"that is a positive way of looking at it I guess" Ashley smiled faintly and nodded then looked down "still I am sorry that I brought it up, I'm not exactly up to date on who is dating and who isn't I was just trying to make small talk...I'm sort of horrible at it" she blushed.

"Positive." Phe repeated after a moment of silence before sighing a little too heavily. "I said it's fine." The younger brunette repeated somewhat sternly as she crossed her arms, signifying herself closing off a little bit. "Love isn't for purebloods anyway." She added with a small shrug of her shoulders. "It's just a myth they feed us to give us hope but really it's just nothing, they're just words."

Ashley shrugged and smiled faintly "I don't know if that is true..I-I mean sure I don't think that we get to choose and wait /obviously/ but that doesn't mean love doesn't exist...you can grow to love someone and sometimes people do get lucky and end up with the person they want to be with" she nodded then cleared her throat "but it certainly is different for purebloods ....I know my duty to my parents and I'd never let them down"

"Are you in love? No? Point proven." She responded somewhat sharply as she unfolded her arms, attention turning to her nails. "Love is an ideal for children, it doesn't really exist." Glancing up, Phe shook her head softly. "Love and duty have nothing related. We're purebloods, nothing is about love, it's all simply a factor of production."

"my parents are in love..." Ashley shrugged and half-smiled "I guess they just got lucky" she sighed then smiled faintly "I think I could love Soleus one day" she had to remain optimistic, at this point it was the only thing that kept her from getting upset and breaking down, that, and not wanting to offend or disappoint anyone.

"Then they're the lucky ones." Phe answered, her fingers wringing together, clearly trying to believe her own words. "Indeed." Phe added, forcing a smile to play on the corners of her mouth. 'I think I could love Soleus one day'. She stopped abruptly, her mouth opening to say something before closing again. "Soleus is a good guy." She spoke, finally. "You're lucky, really. He'll look after you."
