It was a good thing poor Archer didn't get a heart attack or something from all the unnecessary screaming.

Yup, this girl clearly had her head on straight--

Wait Whaaa?!O______________O

Tie them up?

It took an extra second for her to realize that the girl was only being sarcastic...okay so maybe she couldn't tell until the girl winked at her--but at least she could tell...eventually. She giggled. It was funny seeing someone other than her being sarcastic to the girls. The best part was that she looked to be around their age so she could have gotten away with it!! And now she knew that this girl at least had spunk; she would have to try running into her later on and since she planned to...

"I'm Alexa, by the way." She would have offered her her hand but one was holding the determined feline and the other, a stack of flyers so instead she just smiled.
"Genevieve," the older girl offered her name in return, and when it was obvious the kid didn't have a hand to offer in shake, she shook her elbow instead. Nice kid, if a bit foolhardy at times. She didn't mind picking a fight with older kids who could flatten her with (or without) a highly polished beater's bat.

That took guts.

"Try to make it to Hogwarts without getting in trouble. Bet you... 3 chocolate frogs you can't do it."

Tugging on her hair absently for a moment, she turned her violet gaze to meet the new girl when she spoke again. What was her name? Gwenivere? Kurumi should probably have introduced herself by now anyway, seeing as they had been standing next to each other for quite some time now talking, but first things first. "As tempting as that idea sounds..." she said with a small laugh. OH! Hey! Kurumi had actually managed to catch on to sarcasm this time. She was joking, right?

Only she never finished her sentence because Selina was back on the hitting idea. "Selina...you do that and I'll never bake you red velvet cookies again." There. Done. Hopefully. Selina was sort of insane right now, more so than usual, so it was hard to tell.

And then Selina was back on the Beater's bat...and all Kurumi could muster right now was a muffled sigh and a slight eyeroll in Gideon's direction. And Lewis thought Kurumi's obsession with dragons was a bit intense and potentially unhealthy?
And the bossy Gryffindor who had yet to introduce herself, who was clearly friends with Selina and yet couldn't seem to manage her intelligently, seemed to be loosening up a bit. There was ALMOST a smile. That was something.

Who threatened with cookies, anyway? Betty Crocker?

In fact, violence in moderation built character and these kids seemed like they needed some character kicked into them. Alas, there would be no Mortimer this time around to help assist her in the process. Good ol' faithful was stolen from her.

But she did seem to hear what Kurumi had threatened when the violence continued to float in the conversation. No red velvet cookies? The color nearly drained from the girl's entire face. Those were the most delicious cookies that Merlin had ever put on this good earth. What had she done to deserve such a sever and harsh punishment. Her blue eyes shot open in shock as she attempted to reason with her extremiest best friend, "N-no cookies? What kind of inhuman person are you? I haven't done ANYTHING to spurn such hatred from you." This was the straw that broke the camels back. First Mortimer, now this. The redhead was in serious need of a tissue.

Her piercing blue eyes were slightly kissed with tears when Genevieve spoke again. Puling herself and her emotions together to the best of her ability, she digested the idea of a reward. That was actually a brilliant idea. Most people did not respond to fear beyond just getting afraid- although Selina was very touched by the compliment that Genevieve payed her about the chimera- so an award would give people a push. The more that she thought about this whole idea, the more that she was starting to truly entertain it as a reality.

She wiped her ear and looked expectantly at the older student, "You, erm, really think that the whole reward thing would work?" Then she turned around and looked at Gideon and Kurumi, "I like her. She's rational. This is a woman who KNOWS how to find a beater bat." Which was such a hard skill to come by these days.
Oh, Merlin. There was crying. Genevieve glanced around with enormous eyes, willing SOMEONE to step in and make this nonsense stop. There was no crying in Quidditch, and certainly not in bat kidnapping, and definitely NOT in cookie-related threats.

"I absolutely do think a reward will work. How much are you willing to offer?" And look at that. She'd made herself a sort-of-friend on her very first day. Hard to believe anyone found Genevieve's rationality to be her most notable quality. "Call me Sherlock and tell me about how it went missing, then."
