The One Place Remembered [Ebony]

[Angel Simons]

Angel sat in the one place she actually remembered; the ice cream parlour. It was the only place she could remember how to get to, and one of the only places she remembered actually sitting in and enjoying things. She had always loved ice cream, after all. After all these years, she still loved it, however she was only allowed it in rations in France. It was such a change to be able to have it whenever she wanted to again.

She slowly ate away at her vanilla ice cream, enjoying every second of it. Making it last, she licked away at it, getting slower and slower. She knew that she'd probably order another one after that, and maybe even another after that. She wanted to make up for all of the ice cream that she missed while she was away.

Chocolate chip cookie dough, the one ice cream flavored that reminded Ebony of her years at Hogwarts. She had only remember ordering this flavor before she left doing missions for the dark lord. The last time she ordered the flavor she wasn't alone. She was with her friend. Angel, the wild badger who could make her smile in an instant.

The cold sweet chunk of dough and ice cream melted against her tongue as she smiled weakly taking in the flavor. Ebony wasn't in a hurry, she could sit and enjoy this time if she wanted. And it's exactly what she planned to do. But, there was someone occupying the exact table she was at last time. It was pretty amazing how Ebony recalled all these details.

There was a woman, with dark hair. Eating her ice cream as well. It seemed as if she too didn't have any in awhile. Quietly, Ebony walked up to the girl ready to have her move out of the way. She cleared her throat and looked down waiting for the woman to turn around so she can speak up.

[Angel Simons]

Angel turned around after hearing a woman cough and looked at the figure. It was one she didn't recognise, however there was something familiar about her. "Yes?" She asked, a little curious as to what this woman had to say. She knew she had seen this woman somewhere before, but she didn't recognise her instantly, so Angel just shrugged it off and waited for the woman to talk. Angel had no idea why the other person had coughed. Maybe she knows you? Angel thought to herself, but then countered that with the fact that if someone had known her, they would be likely to say her name rather than cough politely.

Angel could remember the last time she was here. It was with one of her best friends, Ebony. Ebony was so much fun. Angel could still remember all of the times that they had joked about together and such. Pranks. And yet, they still had their serious times. Ebony was one of the few people that Angel had talked to normally after she was murdered and became really nasty. Ebony was the one Angel could trust with her life. She hated to admit it, but Angel couldn't even trust Shelby with her life, and yet with Ebony she could.

[ebony..]

A small smile crept upon Ebony's lips. She could either ask this woman nicely or simply tell her to leave. The little debate in her mind didn't take more than a couple of seconds. "Well you see, I don't own this table but, I kind of have emotional attachment to it?" She spoke up raising her left eyebrow, it sounded very odd coming from her. "And I'd be happy if you got up and left."

Ebony nodded placing her ice cream down on the table. "I have memories of an old friend here and Angel would want you gone too." Ebony added in a matter of factly tone.

[Angel Simons]

"Look, you're not the only one who this table has emotional value to. I'm not moving just for the sake of someone I don't know, and to be honest, I'm a little surprised that you're even asking someone to move for the sake of emotional value!" Angel said, a shocked look upon her face. That was about the last thing she expected, and there was no way she'd move for the sake of this person. She had no idea who she was, and the fact that she was asking her to move was ridiculous. Angel had so many memories of this table, and she wasn't going to move for anyone.

"And, by the way, I am Angel. You said my name. Which Angel were you enquiring about?" She asked, a little curious. She can't have meant me... Could she?

[ebony..]

Ebony sent the woman an odd look. What were the chances that she could have special value to this exact table? Pretty scarce. Ebony's eyes began to slowly widen. She wasn't very accurate at the moment if they were talking about the same memories but these chances were very slim.

"Angel...Angel Simons." Ebony answered, could she be Angel. The one girl who Ebony told just about everything to. No, it couldn't be. Could it? This woman looked so different and, her voice. Her voice wasn't the same voice Ebony remembered some ten, eleven years ago.. "Angel?" She added with some joy in her voice. What if this was Angel? Ebony had no idea what she was going to do if this was her Angel. Shriek in happiness, cry tears of joy?

[Angel Simons]

Angel nodded slowly, a little curious as to who this was. No... It couldn't be... Could it? She knows my name, and she has emotional attachment to this table... it couldn't be Ebony, could it? It looks nothing like her... Nothing like I remember. Still, it can't hurt to ask, she thought, opening her mouth to ask. "Ebony?" She asked, a small smile on her face. If it was Ebony, and she only hoped it was, then she really would find it perfect to be living back in England. She hoped it was her Ebony... her best friend... The one person she would never be able to live without.

She highly doubted that it was. After all, her best friend staying in the same place for ten years or so, showing up at the exact same spot she last saw her. It just didn't seem possible, still, she hoped it was her.

"Well actually it's Laquisha now..." Ebony joked with a short laugh and shook her head, "Yeah, it's me." She shrugged smiling, what was she doing? Joking around wasn't really what Ebony thought she'd do at a time like this.

So just like any other girl, she let out a small squeal and grinned ear to ear. "Angel! Is it really you?! I haven't seen you in forever, where have you been? You just left one day and never came back. I was so worried!" She gasped and took a seat in front of Angel. "What happened?! I thought something bad happened, I was about to kill someone but then didn't because well you know, I wasn't for sure whether or not you were murdered. Plus I wouldn't know who to kill either and it's just been a whole mess with school and drama that piles and piles into my life-.." She babbled on but stopped right there to take a breath.

[Angel Simons]

Laughing, Angel clamped a hand over Ebony's mouth to stop her saying anything else. She was smiling so much her cheeks were hurting. "Since things with Jason didn't work out and I was under eighteen, I had to move back into the orphanage, but they didn't have enough room. They sent me to a magic school in France, hence the French accent. I finished my schooling and have only just had the courage to actually come back to England after so many years... I'm sorry I left without telling anyone. I had to leave quickly. I don't know why..." She explained, a frown coming across her face.

"Still, I'm here now and I'm so so so so so happy to see you. How have you been? And what drama at school and such?" Angel asked, gesturing for Ebony to sit down and join her. After all, they had a hell of a lot to catch up on. It had been over ten years since Angel had last seen Ebony, and she felt that it was about time they caught up on things. After all, Ebony was not one of the ones she saw when she came back to Hogwarts for a few weeks.

"Well couldn't you at least sent out owls of such just so I wouldn't have been paranoid all these years? There was actual days when I would think someone's missing and see that you weren't there in Hogwarts and I'd think horrible things. Like if you were stranded somewhere or if someone had done something to you." Ebony let out a long sigh and chuckled. She was smiling and just before she said anything else, Ebony took a scoop of her ice cream and let it melt in her mouth.

"Oh well it was at school, when I went." Ebony laughed and shook her head. "I...I-" She bit down on her bottom lip and continued shaking her head. "I fell in love and did really bad things 'cos of it." she whispered at a very quiet tone so only Angel could hear.
