Soleus had just walked up the main path leading towards the castle from the main gates, a bag slung messily over one shoulder and his trunk levitating a few metres behind. His hair had been buffeted around by the late autumn wind on the way up, and his cloak was spotted with thick rain drops, the kind that were sparse but uncomfortably heavy. He silently cursed the Headmaster for practising such strict 'no apparating' rules. If he didn't already hate Dumbledore by principle, he would have after that walk. He stepped through the main doors, and looked around the Entrance hall, wondering where on earth he should be going.

Ashley had just finished with her morning classes and stopped in the main entrance trying to decide how to spend her free period in her dormitory with a good book or, in the library working ahead In some classes, pausing for a moment in thought she didn't notice as a fellow slytherin stepped in and tripped her ,With a yelp she went down and face planted her hands only stopping her just I'm time.

Soleus had noticed the blonde before she fell and he pulled his bag from his shoulder, dumping it next to his trunk. He started across to the two, and dropped to his knees to see if she was ok.
"Whoa, you alright there, beautiful?" He asked, his face full of concern, whether it was real or not. He firstly saw her soft beautiful face, then her body, and then her green tie, in that order. He hadn't even had to decide what to do when he saw her get tripped, darting over to help the poor girl had been the first thing on his mind. He helped her up in an attempt at being gentlemanly, wearing his infamous smirk, an eyebrow raised a little. I've only been here a minute and already I've hit jackpot. He thought smugly to himself, his eyes drifting over her uniform. After a moment or so, he raised slowly to his feet and turned to the other Slytherin, an eyebrow raised. He realised that she must have been an outcast, or at least an odd one out, to deserve the treatment from her housemates.

Ashley blinked in surprise when she heard someone asking to help her up, not exactly a common occurrence the being helped up. not the being tripped. When she heard him call her beautiful and got a look at the boy she had never seen before her eyes instantly widened, opening her mouth to speak she found herself incapable "I-I tha-you-I-oh-I" she closed her mouth and continued to look at him with wide eyes, blushing when the other Slytherin looked over at her, they snorted at the girl then walked away. Ashley kept her eyes on the floor her hair dangling in her face until from her sight on the floor watching the pair of feet walk away from her, cautiously lifting her head once again she met with Silver eyes and felt her cheeks still heating up if not more so, opening her mouth to speak again she felt like nothing of sense would come out so she simply closed her mouth once again and smiled shyly.

Soleus stood, his hands sat lazily in his pockets, a smirk playing on his lips, his mind obviously working overtime. "Do you have a concussion?" He drawled. "Did you hit your head?"

A tiny shy giggle escaped Ashley's lips as she shook her head " I- no" she finally managed to word out 'I-I'm fine uh thank you.." she spoke sofy and politely as she looked up at the boy bashfully "I'm Ashley, Ashley Godfrey" she extended a hand out to him but pulled it back when she noticed it was shaking but then put it back out not wanting to look rude "I-I um I -" she stopped talking again and just stared at him helplessly with bright red cheeks.

Soleus smiled at her response, an eyebrow raised amusedly at her shaking hand. "Must have been the fall." He commented, but quite clearly didn't believe it. He took her hand, and flipped it skillfully, leaning over to plant a kiss on her skin. He could pass it off as being some far-away tradition, something he'd picked up at Durmstrang. Or just get away with it regardless. "Soleus. Lestrange." He said shortly, offering a grin in greeting.

Ashley blinked and stared as he took her hand "-yes I-I mean no! I-I mean" she paused and giggled her cheeks bright red as she stared a the ground shyly "nice to meet you Soleus" peeking up at him cautiously her cheeks still pink she smiled shyly.

Soleus gave her a charming smile and picked up his bag, levitating his trunk again. "Want to show me to the Slytherin common room?" He cocked an eyebrow at her in question, and grinned again. "I'll go to Dumbledore and have that stupid hat tell me what I already know once I've dumped my stuff."

Ashley instantly looked a little let down of course he would be in slytherin and that meant eventually he would hear about her and probably not want to talk to her anymore but still she smiled warmly and nodded "I was just headed there myself I'd love to show you" she spoke softly and turned on her heel to show him the way to the common room.

Soleus raised his eyebrow again, a question, noticing her slight change of expression. "Something wrong?" he asked, walking to her side and falling in step with her as they walked.

"what?" Ashley blinked and cocked her head to the side smiling " no no nothing " she looked over at him "so obviously you are related to Tiffany....her brother?" she asked innocently she knew Tiffany had a brother and he looked around her age so she just assumed given the last name "what brought you to hogwarts?" she wondered out loud.

Soleus nodded once, enjoying the recognition. "That's the one." He said with a smile. "Ah, the scenery." He commented, evading any real answers for at least a moment longer. He gave her a smirk, flicking his eyes not so subtly down her robes as she walked.

Ashley completely oblivious and rarely one to have a pass made at her smiled and nodded "oh well it's really lovely around Christmas time with the snow but I am sure the Scenery is nice at Drumstrang as well" she cocked her head to the side with a smile "but I bet your sister will be happy to see you" she commented genuinely.

Soleus smirked to himself, hiding a small chuckle by clearing this throat and grinning once more. "Yeah, I'm not really sure about that. She might not want to share the limelight. We have an odd relationship. We're a bit of a dysfunctional family." Soleus said, almost causing himself to laugh again at how underrated that statement really was.
