The confused looks didn't go unnoticed by Ashley but she simply shrugged. People had different ways of dealing with these types of situations but Ashley had never been the type to act violently towards another person, no matter how angry she might have been at the time. Not that she didn't think about it...hurting Leila. She had. A lot.

When Lizzie said she knew what Ash meant, the blonde turned and nodded with a smile. Lizzie wasn't so bad after all. Maybe she was a bit stiff as far as joking and playing around was concerned, but she was definitely alright in Ashley's book.

She had been waiting for it, someone to voice their confusion out loud. Finally someone did and that someone was Cameron. She smiled at his question, nodding her head. "Crazy huh, not actually doing anything to Leila after the way she treated me...only I wouldn't have liked myself very much if I went after her. It's not who I am. Truthfully, I probably could have hexed the pants off of the girl but it only would've been satisfying in that moment." And then Ashley would have been in loads of trouble and banned from quidditch and just all together in a bad situation. "I guess I just think focusing on my own thing and ignoring how awful she was made me a better person? A stronger one...Plus it annoyed her that I wasn't showing any anger." GRIN. Total plus.
