Hop. Hop. Hop.

Even a stranger could know that this was Lex's first time in Hogsmeade. She was probably the only one hopping around like the energizer bunny on a sugar rush but she couldn't help it! There was so much to see, soooo much to buy like mountains of candy and even more to explore.

The exploring bit was what brought her into this Alley. You think she would have learnt her lesson about creepy Alley's from her experience down in Knockturn Alley a few days before she headed off to Hogwarts but then...Lex hardly learnt from past experiences; not because she couldn't but because she didn't want to.

If she allowed fear to stop her from trying something a second time then she was nothing but a spineless coward!

Heading into the Alley she saw someone else. "Hello." Even though she wasn't supposed to talk to strangers.
