Ashley sighed deeply and rubbed her temples in frustration. "because Charlotte, one of these days you are going to get yourself into a situation where I or Professor Larkin, or Broderick can't bail you out of and I don't want that to happen you are my friend and I am looking out for you" she looked at Charlotte in seriousness once again "please just listen to me?"

She sunk into her shoulders a little & nodded, sensing the seriousness of what her friend was saying. She knew better than to crack a joke or sarcastic comment when she seemed truly worried. "Of course." she promised, then added quickly, "Just for a little while. I don't want people thinking I'm going soft." she said playfully, nudging the slightly taller blonde with a little smirk.

Ashley instantly looked relieved and smiled with a nod "thank you" she rolled her eyes and shook her head grinning at Charlotte's final comment "oh of course we wouldn't want that" she nudged her friend back then looked down at her watch "come on I will walk you back to the Ravenclaw tower"

"Thank you." she stifled a little yawn, "It must be late." she observed.
Normally she could stay up until ungodly hours without feeling too tired, thanks to all of the sugar that she consumed on a consistent basis. "I'm crashing really hard. How far back is it?" she hadn't paid much attention on her way down to the dungeons, but she knew it was a bit of a distance. The great hall was about halfway between the two areas of the castle & it was quite the walk from the dorms to the hall in the first place, let alone double the distance.

Ashley looked over at Charlotte then sighed deeply "just this once" she reached into her bag and pulled out an energy potion handing it to her friend "Merlin knows you of all people have enough energy most of the time but I made some for- someone earlier and I had a few extras sooooo here" smiling innocently she nodded at her friend encouragingly.

"Who was it for?" she asked curiously, her tone not suspicious or threatening in the least, just genuine, oblivious, curiosity. She undid the small cork from the bottle & took a little whiff of it before eying it carefully. Deciding it looked good enough to eat, literally, she upended the bottle into her mouth.

Ashley shifted her eyes and cleared her throat innocently "no one special just...Soleus..." she bit on her lower lip and averted her eyes not sure how Charlotte would react.

"Ew, Lestrange?" she suddenly looked horrified, staring at the empty bottle in her hand that she'd just drank from, "Oh god, this wasn't poisoned, was it? Or worse, am I going to fall in love with you?"

Ashley frowned and crossed her arms "I beg your pardon? are you insinuating that I would put Soleus under some kind of love potion or poison him?" she looked genuinely hurt "I would never! besides...Soleus is....nice"

"He's nice-looking." Charlotte corrected, smirking a little. She knew that Soleus was kind to Ashley, but she didn't really think that his intentions were really pure. He'd never been openly rude to Charlotte, but she never got particularly pleasant vibes from him, which was fine by her - she didn't care too much if the Slytherin students didn't like her. Most didn't, as it worked out. "What does someone like that even need energy potions for? I thought drinking coffee constantly was part of his try-hard brooding mysterious guy look."

Ashley blushed and snorted "sure he is...but that doesn't mean that I would slip him a love potion!" she shook her head and frowned once again "I would never manipulate someone like that and I don't know he asked me to so I made him some" she looked down at the ground and smiled bashfully "we are friends"

"We're friends too but I don't think you want to get in my knickers. Unless you've been lying this whole time." she smirked & prodded the taller blonde softly in the side, giving her a playful eyebrow-waggle.

"I don't want in Soleus' p-" Ashley cleared her throat and blushed looking at the ground nervously "I don't want that" she sighed and shook her head "he is just nice to me, guys in this house aren't nice to me often"

Charlotte immediately felt guilty, knowing that Ashley had a lot of trouble fitting in as well, especially in her own house. She hadn't meant to prod at that particular nerve, she'd only meant to tease her about a possible crush on what Charlotte considered to be a totally cliche 'bad boy'.
"Ashley, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. I'll let it go." she gave her best friend a hopeful look.

"it's ok I know you were just teasing" Ashley smiled and nodded blushing, she sunk into her shoulders and bit on her lip "I mean I totally see the appeal and stuff b-but I would never be his type and I don't see us ever happening"
