Ashley was wondering around Diagon early one morning after she had finished working a shift before opening at Florrish and Blots, humming to herself as she wandered down the practically empty street given the hour that it was she paused as she walked past the alley way that lead to Knockturn, normally it would hardly interest her but she could have sworn she saw a moment of familiar dark hair and broad shoulders walk past at the same time she had, allowing her curiosity to get the better of her she made her way down the dark Alley clutching her wand in her robes pocket firmly in case she were to need it, as she reached the dimly lit broken coble stone street she cautiously peered around for who she was looking for, she wasn't sure if the fact that there was hardly a sole in sight a good thing or a terrible one, getting distracted as the lantern she stood next to blew out abruptly she jumped and squeaked turning to leave only to collide with another person "oh- I'm sorry" she spoke softly quickly looking up and taking a step back of all the places to bump into someone Knockturn alley was probably one of the worst.

Brent had errands to run, as was normal for him. He spent quite a proportion of his time skulking around Knockturn Alley. This particular day he'd been in a bar with his father, discussing family things, some talk of work was mentioned, but mainly normal family issues that had popped up. After his father had left he'd moved to go collect something from Borgin & Burkes and was about to leave the alley until he'd been bumped into by one Ashley Godfrey. Raising an eyebrow at her, he gave her a lazy glare before stating simply. "This isn't the kind of place a vulnerable young girl such as yourself should be."

Ashley smiled sheepishly trying not to look as nervous as she felt she didn't know this mans name only that he was one of the men there when her father had meetings with a few death eaters at his home, she cleared her throat and shook her head "I was actually looking for someone I thought I had seen but I guess I hadn't, again I'm sorry for bumping into you...sir" she commented politely.

"Godfrey-" He started with a stern glare. "This isn't the sort of place someone like you should be 'looking for someone' unless you want to get yourself maimed." Glancing over her shoulder and down the Alley, he gestured towards the general direction for the entrance of Diagon alley. "Now how about you're a good little girl and you run back to that side of town?"

Ashley frowned and bit on her lower lip "with all do respect I feel like you are sort of...um well making assumptions about me when you don't really know me" she commented sheepishly then cocked her head to the side "have we met before?" She asked innocently

"You don't look like you belong here." He answered coldly, his arms folding. "You bumped into me, I could of maimed you, which is what happens in this alley when you don't keep yourself to yourself." Cocking a brow at her, he shook his head. "I work with your father."

"I sincerely doubt that" Ashley commented honestly the frown apparent on her face "I have my wand with me at all times and am more than capable of defending myself with it, I apologize once again for bumping into you" she instantly looked uncomfortable at the mention of her father and turned to leave quickly

Brent started to laugh humourlessly, his head shaking in utter disbelief. "You honestly think you, a child, could defend yourself against the likes of me?" He started, tutting under his breath. "And I'm far from the scariest thing on this street." He added sounding more amused as he did. "A wand is nothing unless you know how to use it correctly around here." Giving her a nod, he chuckled. "food for thought because your little 'expelliarmus' isn't going to help you around here. Now, skip back off to Diagon and I'm sure you'll fit back in, blondie."

"I am /not/ a child" Ashley commented back simply and frowned once again at his condescending tone "I can assure you I /know/ how to use my wand" she began to get a bit irritated now if there was one thing Ashley knew how to do it was to cast spells effectively although she was kind at heart and would never want to hurt someone she knew numerous defensive and disarming spells to perfection.
