RJ was actually on his own tonight, for the most part. He didn't know where Dante was, and he hadn't really made up his mind about the Hogsmeade trip. He knew he could pretty much ask any girl he wanted... but he liked a bit of a challenge now, and the right interested party hadn't come along yet. He wasn't a player by any means. When he was dating, he dated one girl at a time. He was just in a gap between girlfriends at the moment...
He was walking through the common room, when Roger saw... or rather heard his sister first sniffling near the fire. Now, being the only boy of four children had forced RJ into the role of a good brother... so he couldn't just ignore this obvious display coming from Ashley. So he took a change in direction and went over to the fire. "Ashley, you alright?" he asked.
