Who: Ashleigh and Alicia Spinnet. What: Unwanted help. Where: Alicia's flat. When: Monday 17th October, after work.
Ashleigh's weekend had passed in something of a blur. After her conversation with Axel, all she'd wanted to do was keep busy. If she had time to sit and think, she'd just replay the conversation over and over, trying to work out whether she'd done anything wrong and where exactly they'd left things and what she was supposed to do. She'd visited her mum, something she'd neglected lately, and gone shopping, and spent hours in the library researching. After work on Monday, she needed something new to occupy her mind. So when she arrived home and found a note fro Alicia that she was packing up her flat, Ashleigh had grabbed the boxes she'd procured (for free, from various shops) and apparated straight over.
True, Alicia had said, when she'd said anything at all, that she didn't need help, but Ashleigh had no intention of listening to that. "Alicia?" she called, setting the boxes down in the middle of the empty living room before she checked the other rooms to find her sister. She spotted a shadow in the light from the bedroom and moved towards it. "I brought some spare boxes," she said, pulling her wand from her pocket. "What can I help with? Clothes?" Surely, by now, most of Alicia's clothes had to be at Ashleigh's already? Except, perhaps, for her winter things.
