I’m not dead yet.” Ash didn’t realize until after she had said it that what she had said revealed too much. Well. Too bad. That was that. Whatever.

“Theodore doesn’t know. I’m not even sure that it’s legal to tell him? I’d be soooo dead if someone found out that I told him.” Perhaps a poor choice of words? “I think he knows that I’m hiding something, but he doesn’t suspect magic as far as I know.” He probably just assumed that she was hiding a traumatic experience. Which was actually true. The best lies were the lies that had elements of the truth. Father told her that. All the lessons she learned from her father involved lying, fighting, or taking control, actually. It was a theme. Unsurprisingly, he was a businessman.

And the thing(s) she was lying to her boyfriend about, aside from being a witch? Well, mirrors and crucios... they were in that category. “It’s fine if you have questions. I don’t mind.” Or maybe she did mind. But it was better for Remy to hear about stuff from Ash than from rumors and assumptions. Ash didn’t necessarily want to talk, but she didn’t want Remy to find out scary things later from some other person. Especially if that other person was a liar...

”Actually, Mal did my hair. There are a lot of people here who can do hair... not me. For several reasons.”

The first reason was that she had no interest in doing hair.

The second reason was that she avoided looking in mirrors.

The third reason was because that she didn’t like having anyone touch her hair after the first day of second year, when Rosier had pulled her hair.

Ash splashed her face with water from the sink. That way, if she shed a tear or two, it would be harder to tell.

She smiled again. The smile was a happy one this time. ”My boyfriend is the best, by the way. He always makes me feel safe even though he doesn’t know about the stuff that happened.” And she could confide in him about things that she couldn’t tell her little brother. Because they were some things you just didn’t tell seven-year-olds. To a certain extent, Ash felt the same way about first years like Remy. There were just some things she didn’t want to tell them.

This whole conversation was just a whirlwind of emotions, wasn't it?! Now Ash was laughing, and Remy certainly hoped she wasn't laughing at the poor people who were tortured. Surely not, she had seemed so hurt by it just now. Her response caused a little eyebrow raise, until the penny dropped and her eyes widened. "Wha... what?" She could feel herself getting all flustered again, like she was about to cry. Remy was very empathetic. "It was you who was tortured?" Ash was older than her but imagine a child going through something like that? Remy would never say it out loud, but she was so grateful to have started term this time around.

It made sense not to have told her muggle boyfriend the truth, especially since they were just kids, although it was still a little sad. Ash seemed super duper happy with him, though, and Remy beamed at her. "I think if you were to marry him one day, then you can tell him." You couldn't keep it a secret forever, especially if they had magical kids! It happened, you know.

Remy went a little quiet after Ash gave her permission to ask questions. Just because she had said that, didn't mean it was okay to ask them. Her curiosity took over, as usual. "How did you... get out?" You know - for future reference if SHE was ever in that situation. You never know with Hogwarts!!

Mal... Remy had never heard of a Mal. There DID seem to be many people at Hogwarts who were good at hair. This Gryffindor tried to be one of those, but she was just terrible. A ponytail was about all she could manage when making her hair tidy. "I'm trying to grow mine out." Remy ran her fingers through her wavy, unstyled hair that currently reached about halfway down her back. "I think my mum would kill me if I came home with pink hair." She grinned. Maybe when she was 13 and a teenager who could think for herself.

Not noticing the water splash to hide any sneaky tears, it was back to boyfriend talk, where there were so many different things to discuss. "He sounds great." Especially the feeling safe stuff, that was just lovely. "How did you meet him?" What she was TRYING to ask was - how do you get a guy to be your boyfriend?????
