He was right ~Open~

[Melody Breaux]

Melody layed on her back, staring at the stars, thinking. Sam had always said that this was a good place to go. Before now, she had never really understood his fascination. She definately did now. He was right. Humming her favorite Billie Holiday song,Ghost of a Chance, she thought.

There was so much on her mind from today. School, NEWTs, India, her dad, Sam, her non-existent family. So many thoughts bouncing around inside her head, and they all drove her nuts thinking about them. As soon as class had let out, she went looking for somewhere to think. Always a no on the common room or dorms. Usually someone hanging out there. No empty classrooms or staircases would be good enough. And then she remembered what Sam had said and up she ran.

[Ashlyn Henderson]

Ash yawned as she walked up the long steps. She smoothed her blond hair back as the blue highlight caught her eye. She didn't want her mother to find out what she had done with her hair, even she didn't believe what she had done. It still plagued her mind. Why did she do it? She had no answer for that, her one and only guess was that she wanted to change. She pushed the door to her mother's class and peered in side.No one. She sighed and walked in. She let her feet drag her outside. It seemed like no one was here until she heard a bit of humming.
"Hello..?"She called out wanting to make sure she wasn't hearing things.

[Melody Breaux]

Melody didn't hear the footsteps on the stairs, or the opening of the door. So when she heard a voice not too far away, she was surprised. She sat up silently and looked around for the sorce. When she saw that it was another student, she relaxed and layed back down.

"Hey."

[Ashlyn Henderson]

She stumbled a bit as she tried to find that voice. She walked a bit further inside and stopped when she saw a girl laying down. She couldn't help but look up at the dark but shining night sky. She bit her lip before saying anything to the girl."Oh, I hope I'm not intruding on you...I just thought I heard something."She nodded to her as she stayed standing not to far from her.

[Melody Breaux]

She shook her head, smiling. "No intrusion at all. Just thinking." Turning her head, she looks at Ashlyn and chuckles. " Come on out and sit. I promise I won't bite."

[Ashlyn Henderson]

She sighed and smiled slightly before sitting beside her."Ehh, really I'm glad that you don't bite."She joked. "I would of hated to walk in on you doing something rather important or something."She laughed lightly. "What'cha thinking about if you don't mind me asking that is. Oh, I'm Ashlyn Henderson by the way."She nodded.

[Melody Breaux]

She smiles at Ashlyn. "Melody Breaux. It's nice to meet you." She sighs, thinking about how to answer her question. "A lot of things, I suppose. The...non existant members of my family, school, my good friend. Things like that. I couldn't think clearly, you know? Too much floating around in my head. My friend, he told me how nice it was up here once. Thought it might help." She smiles at her again. "What brings you here?"

[Ashlyn Henderson]

She smiled a bit relieved that she wasn't bothering Melody at that moment she had walked up here."Oh, nice to meet you to Melody."She smiled sort of waiting to see if Melody would open up to her. Ash was very good at listening since she never really talked much. So sometimes had a knack for giving out good advice even though she never gave herself the chance to take her own advice. She listened to her nodding as a sort of understanding of what she meant.

"What year and house are you in?"She practically blurted out before answering her question. She bit her lip not sure how she was going to put her answer. She didn't really know what to say exactly, which was a bit odd for her."Oh, I thought my mum was here....she the Professor of Astronomy."She nodded.

[Melody Breaux]

Melody smiled at her. She was pretty good at figureing people out, sometimes. Ash seemed like a nice person. There was something about her that just drew Melody's attention, made her like her very quickly.

"7th year Slytherin." She chuckled. "What about you? Hufflepuff?" She nods her head once. "So you're Professor Crescent's daughter? I didn't know she had kids here."

[Ashlyn Henderson]

She laughed and smiled at her then shook her head."Hufflepuff...I wish, but sadly just like the rest of the family I'm in Ravenclaw, 5th year. Slytherin now that would of been awesome."She grinned before her smiled turned to a frown and then a hesitate smile. She nodded."Yup. But I took my father's last name...or something like that."She laughed.

[Melody Breaux]

Melody chuckles. "Not a big fan of Ravenclaw? Or did you want to be different from your family?" She watches Ashlyn out of the corner of her eye for a few seconds, then looks back at the stars. "Nothing wrong with that."
