Either way, I need to be saved from myself. And other people, but mostly just me.” Dustin nodded. Ash gave him the evilest evil eye she could, which wasn’t very evil considering the fact that she loved him and was very grateful that he was such an awesome bodyguard.
”She’s a fairy queen,” Dustin corrected. He thought for a bit. “I want to be the king of tracking down people named Ashley who like to run away for no reason all the time and get themselves hurt. But also, I’d like to be the king of bookstores and glittery eyeshadow.”
Ash snorted. “Well Dustin, I don’t know anyone else who even WANTS to be the king of tracking me down and rescuing me from my bad decisions. You probably have to fight for those other titles though.” He’d probably win the fight though, considering he was a bodyguard...
“I run away because I get bored, and running away is the opposite of boring. And it keeps me in shape, mentally and physically!” That was probably not something she should be telling younger years, but oh well. HA. LISA AGREED.
Dustin rolled his eyes. Ashley running away kept him in shape too. He might as well quit working out and instead just practice chasing Ashley down crowded streets that he didn’t know very well. And, for added difficulty levels, add bystanders who stared at him, which was distracting because he was very self-conscious. Sigh. He understood the reasoning behind the running though, or at least Alex kept trying to explain it to him. “No offense taken, Lisa.” Actually, lots of offense had been taken, just not at what they were currently talking about.
OMG! Was that... “MISTER PROFESSOR SIR AGUILAR!!!” YAY. She didn’t even know he was still in the country... apparently not everyone wanted to live as far away as possible from Hogwarts like she did. Huh. “I didn’t know you worked at a quidditch place, or I would have went there to see you. She could have HUGGED him, but she didn’t because they weren’t standing close and also he might not like hugs. She liked that he called her ‘Miss Fox’ instead of just ‘Fox’. It was important to add something before the last name, or it would sound like Rosier. Aguilar was one of her most favorite professors. Too bad he got scared away. Ash whispered to Lisa. ”I’m famous because I’m super cool.”
Dustin had a sudden thought. Yes, a thought. He had thoughts, just like everyone else. “If those wands aren’t real, does that mean ‘muggles’ can play?” It was a good question okay!!! Nobody said he wasn’t allowed to talk!!!
Lisa remembered that Ashley didn’t consider herself traditionally wise as a Ravenclaw or stereotypically book smart. But… she still considered her friend smart in her own way. Or at least a creative thinker and problem solver. She could see big and small picture. “
Who can save you from yourself?” she asked out loud but she had meant to keep that to herself. “
Arent we the only ones that can save ourselves? I wouldn’t want just anyone rescuing me…” Except for maybe a certain someone buuut she didn’t know how to feel about it. She had read that butterflies were the thing to feel but all she felt was her tummy going flippy floppy which meant her cookies would be lost! Not a fun feeling if that was love.
Now the youngest and littlest Nam had not been expecting to hear Dustin wanted to be King of glittery eyeshadow. She stared up at the man and tried to imagine the right shade to suit him. “
Any specific colour of sparkly, glittery eye shadow?” she asked curiously, blatantly ignoring everything else he had said and focusing solely latching on to the eyeshadow ruling cause interesting. She liked Dustin more for that quirk.
She opted to remain quiet and watch the interaction between Dustin and Ash with an amused smile. And then her gaze flicked back to the adult whi was an Ex-Professor? HUH! “
What subject did he teach?” she asked Ash before chuckling when she heard Ash’s comment about being super cool. Oh Lisa was aware that her friend was super cool. In this moment, she wondered if she’d run into their former Head of House at one of these stalls. Schmoe ;_; the bestest noodle House Head ever. She missed him. He’d… hopefully remember her, yeah?
She blinked, glancing to Dustin. Wait. Was he a MUGGLE?
