Tiffany was sitting with her back pressed to the trunk of a tree that jutted up between two benches, in the middle of the courtyard. All around her were students, milling around to soak up the last of the nice weather they were sure to have for quite a while.
"Godfrey." The brunette called sharply as soon as she spotted the blonde weaving through the students to cross to the other corridor, across the lawn. She waited until the girl saw her, then beckoned her over with one finger in a vaguely threatening sort of 'come hither' gesture.

Ashley who hasn't done much of anything other than class and go to the library looked up when she heard someone call her instantly looking uncomfortable and not interested in talking to a Lestrange of all people she was far to polite to ignore the girl so she walked over to Tiffany and atares at the ground mumbling softly "hello Tiffany"

Tiffany looked up at her standing before her & picked up the mug from the bench beside her. Taking a sip from it, she said immediately, "You were in my house." She leaned a bit closer, "my real house."

Ashley instantly tensed looking about 10 times more uncomfortable than she already had "I-I was" she admited softly.

"When I was little, I used to hate that Soleus was everyone's favorite." She said carefully, taking a sip from her mug. "When no one you look up to puts you first, you start taking care of yourself. When everyone babies you, you never have to." She explained.
She ignored the way the people who passed them gave them a double-take. Her & Ashley made an odd pair. "Soleus may think he's a big boy, but he's never had to deal with not being the favorite. I'll tell you something, though, Ashley, he's my favorite, too. I don't think I'd be too happy if something hurt him. If he stopped being everyone else's favorite."

Ashley listening to Tiffany as she spoke sighed looking up at her " II-I understand and um as much as I didn't meant for him to be Soleus is sort of my favorite too" she admited looking down shyly "when I knew he was hurt... I-I couldn't really see past anything else, I really didn't care what happened to me until I knew he was safe" she sighed realizing finally why Soleus was trying to end their engagement.

Tiffany, on the other hand, seemed to agree with what Ashley was saying.
"You won't go back there. Not with Rowle, not with your father. Not looking for Soleus." She said, her voice stern but not unkind. "If he isn't at your side, you won't get in. Understood?" She knew Soleus would have told her something similar, but she also knew Ashley probably wasn't as threatened by Soleus.

Ashley laughed almost humorlessly "trust me I won't be going back there ever..." She sadly looked down and bit on her lower lip when she looked at Tiffany she instantly looked down again not liking how the stern expression she had reminded her of Soleus.

Tiffany stared her down & then sighed & ran a hand through her hair before standing up.
"Walk with me, yeah?" She quirked an eyebrow as if to say it wasn't a suggestion.

Ashley nodded remaining silent and began to walk in silence for a moment then spoke up "I know our families are vastly different but I get what you mean...with Soleus being the favorite...I was born before Alex but he is the man in the family after my father so...it feels like no matter what to do or how hard you try you always fall short were as they could put in half the amount of effort you do in anything and are praised...but you still don't resent or hate them because you know it's not really their fault and want to protect them anyway..." She fell silent once again and shrugged.

She tensed a little as she walked, taking a sip from the mug in her hands to distract herself from speaking. Ashley had basically hit the nail on the head, & she almost resented her for it. Like how dare they be so similar, but Ashley turned out alright? Deep down she knew it was a lot more than that, but still - resentment was easier than admitting your own wrongs.
"To be honest, Alex is sort of a prick." she told the other girl, despite the fact that she'd just said she wanted to protect him.

Ashley shifted her eyes and smiled sheepishly "I suppose he is a bit..um rude...and well arrogant but he um...he just he he is still my brother" she looked over at Tiffany "I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about him that way"

Somewhat impressed, Tiffany let it drop like dead weight & continued walking. "It's better than being an only child." She said after a moment.

Ashley nodded in agreement and smiled "yeah it definitely is, I wouldn't trade my siblings for the world...they mean everything to me" she fell silent for a moment before it just came out "S-Soleus doesn't want to marry me..." she glanced up at Tiffany "I-I know he said he didn't want to marry anyone and all, at first thats all it was but he was sucking it up and dealing with it b-but he doesn't want me...I-I mean he said it's because he doesn't want me to care about him because it could result in me getting hurt..but I just...I don't want to mess this up my mother is finally proud of me" her eyes began to become a little glossy as she continued " I-I just...I don't want to disappoint her.."

Tiffany slowed down & turned to her, feeling the looks people gave them as they passed.
"Don't cry." She said in stern warning, looking around awkwardly before whispering sharply, "people think I did this to you." She grabbed the other girl's arm surprisingly gently & steered her out toward the hogsmeade gates instead.
