Ashleigh knew it was only a matter of time before one of her professors grew tired of her unexplained absences, but she simply wasn't ready to return to the real world. Life outside of Gryffindor Tower was complicated. She preferred the simplicity of sitting in front of the fire and sleeping in the arms of her male best friend.
She was sitting in the common room, waiting for Ollie to return with the food he'd made her promise to eat, when she heard her full named bellowed from the hallway. Her head snapped up, and her eyes locked with the brunette standing on the other side of the portrait hole. Though a large part of her wanted to avoid this conversation at all costs, she knew that wasn't an option.
Pushing herself out of the chair she'd been sitting in, she headed for the portrait hole. It had closed by the time she got there, but it opened again. The Fat Lady grumbled her annoyance about the continuous in and out, but that was easily ignored.
"Hey," she greeted, not knowing what else to say.
It probably wasn't the explanation her friend was looking for, but it was the best she could do at the moment.
