Tiffany turned her head sharply at the sound of a twig snapping nearby, her pupils dilating to take in as much of the dark scene around her as possible. According to the school's regulations, she wasn't supposed to be out here anyway, though she knew from past experience that she could either chalk it up to 'sleep walking', or just bite the bit & take whatever slap-on-the-wrist punishment they decided to hand to her. There was no punishment that the school faculty could offer that was any worse than the things she'd experienced on her own time. Taking a few careful steps forward, the brunette narrowed her eyes in concentration as she navigated past the overgrown tree-roots that threatened to overtake the soft, damp forest floor.
Another noise nearby - a branch moving, leaves rustling, followed by careful, but deliberate footsteps. This was no forest animal, whatever it was. Wondering if someone was arriving to check the perimeter for misbehaving students, Tiffany ducked behind a nearby tree, practically holding her breath in anticipation. Closing her eyes & hoping for the luck of good timing, she poked her head out & did a quick survey of the area before her. Not a member of staff. Too small. Student robes, hood pulled up. Her mouth practically watered in anticipation - perhaps no one would miss them. She knew it was risky, but the hunger swelling up inside of her was threatening to take over her bodily control, driving her up the wall in want. In two swift steps, she was out from behind the tree, her fingers digging in to the left arm of the student & her wand driven sharply into the right side of their neck.
"Don't move." she growled into their ear, leaning her head back as their hood fell away.

Ashley knew she shouldn't have been wondering around at night in the forest of all places but she couldn't help herself, she told herself it was because she had to collect some ingredients for an extra credit potion but really, she wanted to see Thorfinn. He was an old friend of her uncles and the ex of one of her bestfriends awkwardly enough but for some reason she felt the need to find him and talk to him. She was stupidly fascinated by him and her curiosity got the best of her.
When Ashley felt a wand pressed to her neck she squeaked softly then moved only slightly trying to catch sight of her attacker having no luck it being too dark and her unable to move she nervously clutched her wand helplessly although clearly using it at the moment would be a bad idea.

"Don't be an idiot." Tiffany hissed, eyes flitting down to where the other girl's hand was moving. She let go of her arm to turn her around, keeping her wand pointed firmly at her. Upon catching sight of who she had pounced on, she sighed, lowering her wand & pushing back her own hood to reveal her face. Her eyes had what seemed like permanent bluish gray rings beneath them, her eyelids themselves turning dark from the stress of being awake for so long. Her hair fell limply around her shoulders, lifeless, only matching the gaunt look of the girl's face in whole.
"What are you doing out here?" she questioned the blonde sharply, not even bothering to apologize for being inches away from tearing her in half.
Tiffany's eyes flitted back & forth over the girl's face suspiciously, trying to look for any hint of a lie, any attempt to keep the truth from her. The general distrust for those around her that Tiff harbored only intensified after Kevin's murder. She had now lowered her wand away from the blonde completely, but her grip on the weapon didn't loosen in the slightest as she stood her ground. She looked like she was ready to jam it back into her neck if need be.

Ashley stared at Tiffany in surprise when she saw who it was that was so threatening and intense towards her "I was getting potions ingredients" that wasn't a lie she /was/ getting ingredients she just happened to be looking for Thorfinn while she did so. "is there a reason you were holding a wand to my neck and acting as if you wanted to slaughter me?" Ashley asked in concern her eyes tightening on her own wand prepared to defend herself if she had to.

"Because I thought you were someone else." The brunette answered, though it was hardly a comforting answer. "You're acting like you're lying," she observed, her eyes narrowing as she tried to solve the puzzle in front of her without much luck. Her tone was developing a higher pitch, the words coming out manic, scattered, crazed.
"Why would you be lying? What would you lie about? Why are you out here?"
She tightened her grip on her wand, but didn't make any other outwardly sign of impending attack, her own eyes flitting from Ashley's face to her wand, then back to her face. Part of her didn't want to have anything to do with her right then, and part of her wanted to be attacked. Inwardly she was egging the blonde on, to draw her wand, threaten her, just so she could fight back. Just so she could murder the only girl who was still kind to her. Outwardly, she snapped herself out of it & frowned, glancing at Ashley's wand again. She didn't want to be attacked. She wanted Ashley to relax so that she could relax and they could go back to just.. not being connected.

Ashley smiled shyly and shook her head a nervous squeak escaping her lips "I'm not lying...I /do/ need ingredients, I was just looking for someone as well"
She relaxed her wand in her hand slightly and widened her eyes innocently "I didn't mean to frighten you or startle you, is um.....have uh...have you seen Thorfinn at all?"
The blonde asked shyly.

Tiffany's honey-tone eyes narrowed in suspicion before she seemed to relax a little, even going so far as to roll her eyes. "He's at home." the look on her face would never have given it away as a lie, even though it was. He was off on a small recruitment trip, but it wasn't like Ashley Godfrey of all people had the right to hear about that.
"What do you want with him? You know he'll be married off soon, probably, right? Don't be so childish." she looked down at the blonde despite their nearly identical heights. It was an odd sort of skill of hers to tower to people, no matter what their height.

Ashley frowned slightly when she said he was at home and looked down at the ground "oh,right of course" she half-smiled at the brunette hoping the blush on her cheeks wasn't obvious in the dark "he's a friend of my uncles" Ashley spoke softly a shy smile on her face "he wanted to know if he wanted to come for dinner this weekend" it was completely true Ashley wouldn't lie she did however not mention that she was also hoping, that she could spend a little time with him "I don't know what you are implying but I haven't had a boyfriend since" Ashley cleared her throat and looked down at the ground sadly, Kenneth and Miles were not things she liked to bring up, clearing her throat she half-smiled once again "doesn't matter, anyway I assure you my intentions are not in hopes of getting involved with him that way"

Tiff watched the other girl very carefully for a moment, trying to take in her every detail, her every tick & small gesture to store in the back of her mind for safekeeping. It was good for her to just know the people around her. Knowing things about people, especially when people knew so little about her, made her feel almost safer. Like she was finally in control of something. In Ashley's case, when someone knew an uncomfortable amount about her, she liked to keep especially detailed mental-logs & archives.
"I'm not his owl. If your uncle is so close with him then perhaps he can get in touch with him himself. I'm sure they keep in contact." She was quite sure that Ashley was referring to the Unspeakable - the one that Thorfinn was constantly dodging the subject of. Her eyes travelled over Ashley as she spoke about her lovelife, or lack-thereof & quirked an eyebrow at her curiously. Hm, a raw nerve. She'd have to prod at that later on when she wasn't out in forbidden territory in the middle of the night.

Ashley quirked an eyebrow looking surprised and shook her head "oh no, of course you are not Tiffany I wouldn't expect you to, I was jut clarifying /why/ I was looking for him myself I am sure if they speak Broderick will ask him I just thought I would mention it if I saw him I only told you so my intentions would be made aware" The blonde smiled faintly and nodded "I did not mean to disturb you Tiffany I should probably be going Professor Snape allows me to come in here to collect potion ingredients I would hate to take advantage." with a quick nod Ashley turned on her heel heading out of the forest.
