WHEN: 1 February 1980 WHERE: Slytherin Common Room WHO: @asheravery
To say Esmeralda intentionally distanced herself from Asher would be too much, she did not intentionally avoid him because she did not think of him at all. Yet all year she found as he entered a room, she exited it. If he passed too near her in the corridors, her next step fell quicker than the last. She did not intentionally avoid Asher, but she did instinctively do so.
Today, she fought those instincts because it would be too much effort to do otherwise, as she was quite comfortable on the other end of the dark green leather couch. “Hello, Asher,” she said when it became obvious he wasn’t going to say it first. She was not in the business of ignoring presences. Dead or Alive. “Slow Sunday?”
