Ashley sat herself in the Slytherin common room in the early hours of the morning much like she always did, being unliked in her house made it difficult for her to sit in the common room without being harassed numerous times, smiling to herself as she read she remained completely oblivious to the other person who entered the room, she only noticed when she heard the creaking of the stairs headed for the boys dorm, when she spotted who it was she widened her blue eyes peeking at the boy then shyly smiling retreating behind her book in worries he would poke fun at her like so many others from her house did.

Soleus halted mid-step when he saw a flash of blue disappear back behind a large book, and he glanced back over his shoulder. Seeing the petite blonde girl he smiled smugly and retraced his steps back down to the stone floor and made his way quietly to the seating area near the under-water windows of the dungeons. He silently slipped into the seat next to Ashley and cocked an eyebrow in his usual manner. "And what are you doing awake at this time of night, Miss Godfrey?" He purred quietly, sinking comfortably into the window seat, all the while his eyes not leaving her.

Ashley cautiously peered over at Soleus from behind her book and smiled bashfully "I was just reading" she shrugged and sunk into her shoulders "when did you get back?" she asked innocently obviously aware of Soleus and his constant traveling.

Soleus' eyebrow slid back into place as he listened, relaxing.
"Very nice," he replied, and quickly decided that bored came before friendly today - settling on not asking what it was about, for the sheer friendliness of it and instead he re-positioned himself on the seat, turning sideways to face her more fully and tucking a foot under the other leg. He made a contented noise before continuing languidly. "Isn't it a bit late at night to be reading? Are we really that bothersome?" He said, referring to himself and the other Slytherins by gesturing around the empty common room.
"Ah, just came back really, I stopped outside for a smoke but the damn prefects actually take their roles far too seriously here, apparently they don't like any kind of smoking on site, and I also found out they don't like it when you talk back, either," He paused, sighed and glanced absent-mindedly around the common room. Then his expression softened as a corner of his lips twitched upwards into a smirk. "Hey, aren't you a prefect?" He teased, in the friendliest manner he could muster.

Ashley blushed then widened her eyes at Soleus' first question "what? I-I oh no of course not" she smiled faintly and sunk into her shoulders "I thought it was I who was the one that was bothersome so i simply just only come down here when I am alone" the blonde brushed some of her hair back and smiled up at him bashfully modestly sinking into her shoulders "I am but Gerard the other prefect in my year doesn't really like me all that much so we simply take turns going out I really shouldn't tell you this but Miles used to go up to the astronomy tower and smoke" with a shrug and smiled hopefully then slowly closed her book in case Soleus still wanted to talk to her, she wouldn't want to be rude after all.

Soleus listened intently and raised an eyebrow a fraction as she spoke. "How would you be bothersome, you are quiet as a mouse!" He rolled his eyes thinking of the other Slytherins and sighed quietly. "It's a shame you weren't a Ravenclaw, really," he eyed her book and returned his eyes to her face.
He perked up unashamedly when she mentioned the Astronomy tower, smiling slightly. "Ah, the Astronomy tower, eh? Fantastic." His smile grew slightly with gratitude. "Thanks, Godfrey. Prefects aren't so bad after-all." He winked playfully in thanks. "Any other tips you'd care to share? Secret places for other pass-times which may involve disciplinary action?" He was both probing seriously for answers yet his tone was convincingly joking enough for her to realise he was simply teasing. He stretched out again and sank back into the chair, while his familiar smirk danced across his mouth once more.

"I'm good here" Ashley shrugged sheepishly and smiled shyly "as long as you don't go before 2am classes end there at 1:30am so students can see the stars but other than that yeah.." Ashley blushed and giggled shaking her head "nooooooo that is the only one you get Mr." Ashley nudged him bravely with a sweet smile and shrugged "can't be giving you all my secrets"

Soleus nodded along while the blonde spoke. "Lovely." He said slowly, thanking her information but also admiring the blush rising in her cheeks, his gaze lingering there just for a second. He pouted in a playful manner, and leaned away from her nudge, as if offended. "Maybe another time?" He smirked, tilting his head like a puppy. He liked Ashley, she was one of the only people he had met who it seemed genuinely believed he was an OK guy. Plus, she was beautiful to look at, and as Soleus believed looking wasn't harming anyone, surely. He rubbed his stubble roughly and half-smiled, looking sideways at her through his thick lashes. "Why doesn't Gerard like you? Is it the books?"

Ashley smiled over at him cheekily when he said another time "probably not" she giggled shyly and peeked up at him through her lashes to match his then shrugged "he always has, he isn't the only one. most people in this house hate me, it's ok though, I don't really let it get me down, I like me and so do the people I care about besides I will be graduating this year and then I guess it wont really matter" she shifted in her seat and blushed once again a the look on Soleus' face "what? is there something on my face?" she asked nervously.

Soleus listened quietly. He could pay attention when he wanted to, he wasn't a complete tool, although he usually acted like one. He sighed when she finished, and leaned into the arm of the seat. "That's a shame really. You're actually not that bad." He teased, a small amused smirk forming on his lips, and it grew slightly as she became nervous. "On your face? No, not at all. It's just, well, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable..." He trailed off, making non-committal gestures with his hands.

Ashley widened her eyes and grinned brightly when he said she wasn't bad "you don' think so?" she asked perkily then giggled happily "well thanks!" she swayed on the spot happily for a moment then blinked and began to straighten her hair and her clothes chewing on her lip in nervousness "no, it's alright you can tell me what is it?" she squeaked out.

He let out a rumble from his throat, laughing in his slow, lazy way. Soleus took his time with everything, and even the way he laughed was drawn out. Some may think he just liked the sound of his own voice, which was most probably the case. "Nah, you're okay." He paused, tilted his head down, and half-smiling, looked back up at her through his lashes. "You can't be uncomfortable and run off, but I was just thinking that you're very beautiful." He leaned back into his seat, smirking very slightly, watching her (most likely nervous) response. "That doesn't mean anything else, though, I'm not gonna do anything," he raised an eyebrow, concerned, "just what I was thinking. I hope you don't mind."

Ashley's eyes grew as wide as saucers at his compliment "I-i-I thank you" She squeaked and giggled once again her cheeks a shade of scarlet red as she shyly looked up at him brushing some of her hair behind her ear. "You -I-I mean you uh " She cleared her throat trying to sound confident "You must know you are completely attractive"

Soleus dipped his head a fraction in acknowledgement. "No problem."
His smirk widened into a signature grin as he tilted his head to one side. "If I hadn't known who you were, Miss Godfrey, I would ask very seriously if you were flirting with me." He laughed again, but his gaze was heavy on her, an eyebrow cocked inquisitively. He held her gaze for a moment, and then broke it, smiling his friendly smile once more.
"You act as if no one has ever paid you a compliment before, gorgeous." He winked, playing on his cheeky ways to attempt to make her feel less uncomfortable.

Ashley dropped her jaw and shook her head "I-I-I what n-n-noo of course I'm not , not that I wouldn't but I-I mean you're not we aren't b-but I do think you are I-I mean i would have to be blind not to notice you are um..." she stared at him helplessly and squeaked out softly "nevermind " her cheeks remained red as he called her gorgeous and shook her head bashfully "I haven't gotten many that weren't from friends or family...I-I mean Miles and Um..." She looked down and practically whispered "Kenneth did but uh...no one else"
