Ashley Harper

Muggle Born. Former Gryffindor. Hit Wizard. You'd think I would appreciate the end of a war after spending 7 months healing and being counselled. But I miss the action. A woman can only do so much paperwork before she needs to hunt down criminals. About - Relationships - Gallery - Soundtrack Saved Letters - After Hogwarts

In the end it’s not important to be seen. It’s important to do

You did have a good exit, if I recall correctly, you punched someone rather forcefully and then walked out. it may have not been a fred and george exit but it was fitting ahaa! and of course you came back to fight in the war, that shows courage and dedicatio no wonder you were a gryffindor

No, that must have been someone else. I was with my friends in my year enjoying a celebration. I ignored anyone who tried to start an argu- oh wait, I did hex someone to prevent them from talking because I wanted it to be a happy day. But I didn't punch anyone.

I know, you were ridiculously carefree. Yeah, I think the war forced everyone to grow up. I suppose, but at least she got some form of punishment. Yeah, but they add spirit to the school, i mean graduates having there own joke shop, it gives the school heart ahaa!

I just didn't care about too much. I was living in a world of magic. It was still surreal and exciting. It felt like anything was possible. 

Not to mention they had a marvellous exit from the school. Wish I had gone out in style.

I get that, but if you asked me a few years ago that if you would have became a work addict, I would have laughed in your face. I know, but that ghastly woman got what she deserved. I think most professors have just given up on confiscating the products from students, but some are still quite strict about it.

I wouldn't have even asked that myself. It was all so carefree back then though, even when the war was imminent. It feels weird being all grown-up and working. 

I don't know, Alice. I think she should have been turned into a piglet and placed in a muggle petting zoo filled with evil children. And I can't blame them really. They probably don't want a repeat fireworks display in the middle of an exam.

I never thought id see the day. Ashley Harper becoming a work addict ahaa! someone call the daily prophet! Ohh yeah there products cause some amount of riots at Hogwarts, everyone uses them. There banned on school grounds but everyone has them anyway ahaa!

Hey, it's not my fault. I have to earn a living somehow. 

You know a banning won't stop the students. Look at what happened with Umbridge. That didn't stop anyone.

[takeahitharper-blog]

Godric Ash, I get its a talent but jeez ahaha! You should. Ash, you've only been out of Hogwarts for a while, I'm sure you can write a letter ahaa! But if it's the Weasley twins you want to get back in touch with, just go into the store, there always at that shop.

It's been a while though. I feel like i've forgotten how to socialise. Oh god, i've become one of those work people who just consumes coffee all day and fills in forms. Bugger. 

That is an idea. I hear a lot about it from annoyed parents that float around here at the Ministry. A lot of people who work here have kids who adore that place.

[takeahitharper-blog]

You'll never forget how you hex someone, let's be honest about that. Godrics sake Ash, that's not something you should be promoting ahaa! Aww Ash, you should try and get back in touch with them.

What do you mean?! It's a bloody talent! 

I think I will. You know, providing I can manage a coherent letter that does not make me sound like a fool.

[takeahitharper-blog]

Yeah, well think about in a way that once you've got this case out the way you can go straight onto a new case. Of course its true, I was with you & the Weasley twins when you were in Hogwarts, you three breathed mischief. If you three weren't up to anything, there was something extremely wrong ahaa! Have you kept in touch with anyone from your year in Hogwarts once you left?

I guess so. It's just...I need some action before I forget how to hex someone. 

I was worse when I was younger and then I tried and half-failed at being more of a 'girl'. I can still belch the alphabet though/ Quite proud of that. 

I tried to, but I got so swamped and I sort of drifted away. Work sucked me in, I was worrying about my family and then I just didn't really know how to get talking again. I didn't want to bother anyone. But now I miss everyone.

I completely get what you mean. Any man would be lucky to have you Ash. That seems like an ok weekend, hopefully work picks up for you if you have to work over the weekend. Uhh yeah, yeah i think i'll stick to doing that ahaa! what do you mean before classes start, i'll be doing it all the time ahaha!

Well yeah I hope so too. I'm tired of going on searches and finding nothing. I feel bad, this should be a good thing that this clean-up is going well but it's just giving me less to do. 

That is true.

[takeahitharper-blog]

I see what you mean, you should try and get the ministry to look into it, see if they can find anything. Godric Ash ahaa! Yeah you are clearly still too young to have kids. So, what have you got planned for your weekend, or are you stuck working?

I suppose. But this is more of a personal thing so i'll probably do it myself. 

Even marriage seems scary let alone kids. Not that anyone in their right mind would marry me though, ha. 

I'll most likely be working, following leads, admin - that sort of thing. Hopefully i'll have a day off and I might go for a drink or something. And will you just be up to no good until classes start?

[takeahitharper-blog]

Yeah, I guess, but think of all the other muggle borns, I mean can there be magic in all of the families? I wouldn't put all the blame on you, just partially blame you for certain antics. Yes, and i found myself and my rebellious nature has grown rather greatly thank you very much ahaa! Ahhhh Fred and George Weasley, hilarioud guys. Hogwarts isn't the same without you and them, it's too quiet ahaa! I dont know, i don't really talk to the teachers and their not exactly fans of me ahaa!

I don't think all families would have magical origins, but I doubt that a magical child could just spring out of nowhere. There has to have some form of magic at some point in order for it to have been passed on. 

I feel like a proud mother...and that is somewhat terrifying because I am definitely still to young to have kids.  

I haven't seen them in a long time which is saddening. And fair play I suppose. There was only a few I liked.

[takeahitharper-blog]

Hey! You were born a witch! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, especially those still on the blood status mindsets. Yeah, though in all fairness I wasn't exactly a model student when i met you, you just kept me on my path of rebellion ahaaa! So, I guess Snape -and the other teachers for that matter- have you to thank for my -um how would you put it- rebellious nature ahaa!

It's still strange though. I'm going to investigate my family tree when I have the time. It seems far too odd for a witch to just pop up out of the blue so maybe somewhere along the lines my family was magical. 

Ah but then I had to graduate and you had to learn the rest for yourself. You blame me for how you behave but I partially a blame a certain pair of twins for how I was. Plus I grew up with two older brothers who weren't exactly angels. 

How are the other teachers anyway?

[takeahitharper-blog]

ahaaa! The amount of looks you got when you punched someone though, it was was hilarious. I suppose so, though after all the times he's hit me on the head, i'm surprised I even remember him ahaa!

I'm no doormat; so I wouldn't let anyone walk all over me. I may not have been born a witch but it doesn't make me any less of a person. 

Say you have amnesia and didn't do the homework because of the repeated hits to the head. 

I should stop being a bad influence.

Thankyou. I think everyone thought that they weren't going to stand by and watch the wizarding world fall to pieces. Yeah, students just had to rely on their skills and if they joined Dumbledore's Army then that was a plus. Godrics sake Ash, you were, you beat up a good amount of people in your time at Hogwarts ahaa! Really? I suppose there's still a bit of tension from the war aftermath and people are still celebrating and all. Really, a friend, Snape? As in Professor Snape? Potions Snape? ahaa

Well my job is track down dangerous witches and wizards and arrest them. I was kinda qualified for a war - but I just wanted to protect what mattered to me.  

Oh Merlin. I didn't go around just starting fights though. I just chose not to use my wand. Because no one ever really expected to be punched, they just assume you'll take out your wand and hex them. 

Yes as in Potions Professor Snape. Things change when you no longer have to sit at a desk and hope he doesn't smack you over the head for talking.
