It's part of the lake now." Violet thought about Miss Howard and how she missed her and was worried about her, even though she was out of hospital now. She made a promise to herself to go and see her when school was out. Whether it was permitted or not.

Violet thought about that for a few minutes. Yes, she supposed that writing was therapeutic for her as well. But she knew she couldn't be content just to do it privately--she wanted to get published some day! Maybe it was because she was a Slytherin. But it had been her ambition to become a published author ever since she was old enough to read.

"Well, once I get this story finished, you can read it. Before I start sending it off to publishers." Actually, Violet had read that it was good to get feedback from a few trusted people before you were really finished with a manuscript. Maybe she could get Miss Howard to read it, too.


Ash considered. “Rocks can build up little by little. If you dump enough dirt and sand in a lake, it won’t necessarily be a lake anymore.” Did she have an explanation of where that fit into real life? No... yes... maybe? It was confusing. So she’d just stay quiet and let Violet think about that for herself.

Ash grinned. Violet was the best, possibly the best ever, and even though she was a little bit strange and very formal, she was cool and more importantly... maybe she could read one of Violet’s stories. “I’d be honored.” And she might even secretly cry, assuming she had figured out that you could cry at good things too. She hadn’t had any good things to cry about yet... but she’d probably have some when she lived to be an adult.

Anyway, Violet had basically admitted to wanting to be her best friend and Ash was gonna smile about it all day. Nobody could stop her... ok well they could easily ruin her day... but they weren’t going to! She hoped.
