However, Cassia wasn't going to go hard on Lex because the snake herself had said a couple of goodbyes. Though she didn't cry but she still got emotional with Em . And one time wasn't likely to get them infected. "Okay I trust that you can judge who's dangerous and who's not." She said casually.
And she was immediately reassured when Lex sated that they were different and not like others. Yup she totally bought it. "Exactly!" the second-year said beaming. Cassia glanced at the Gryffindor prefect and nodded. "Yeah I was going to say bye too but she seems to have people lined up and I don't want to like crowd her even more." Besides it will take like forever! The claws table. "I actually too have a couple of claws that I would like to say goodbye to." She nodded. "But you see I almost died getting here so I'd rather stay alive…If I die I can't say bye anyway." And Cassia was glad she was here because she was required to get Lex out of whatever state she was in!
So standing there swaying back and forth playfully while chatting with Lex everything seemed to be cool and nice and Cassia was actually forgetting about the food…Until! The twelve-years old froze her eyes widened and the color drained out of her face. What the feathers!
Taking a step back just as a reflex…

Was she done! It took Cassia a couple of seconds to process what had caused that sudden burst! "Holy cat, Lex!" She said her eyes furrowed. "Calm down! That what I heard and yeah what if he is." But maybe it wasn't the best thing to say as Lex seemed to be a huge fan of him. "I mean he must have another thing occurred in his life." She added. "You should be thankful he wasn't one of the eaten professors." She told Alexa in an attempt to make her bestie feel better.
Well at least Cassia hadn't gone on high alert or anything like that. Cursed was something she was not. It would take more than hanging with a few older kids to make Lex go dull and boring. She was like...extra immune to it or something! Except now....yeah...now she had to admit that she was being a bit boring. If she didn't know any better she'd think it was because of the curse thingy but see, the older kids she spoke to weren't infected so she didn't need to start freaking out or anything like that. Nah. That was reserved for other occasions where no other explanation could be offered.
"Good, because I can, I really can." Nod nod nod.
Thank Merlin. She actually fell for it. Lex would feel sorry about lying to her later but for now she was just relieved that her little attempt at trying to convince her had actually worked and they could move on.
"You're right, it seems like it took a lot out of you to get here and I don't want you getting squashed or anything by those people." That wouldn't work at all and she'd be even more upset.
"Just stick around here, we might run into them later on on the train or something." That sounded pretty smart to her. No need to get killed when the action could be put off.
She eyed Cassia when she saw her jump back and simply
stand there, staring at her. This was a serious matter!!! Shiny Ground's Keeper was
LEAVING and all she could do was stand there like the world was in perfect order! Her eyes blazed at the girl and she could feel her temper flaring.
"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!" That was far from what she wanted to hear right now. Couldn't the girl understand?!
"Naturally I'm glad he didn't get eaten but I don't want him gone EITHER!!!!" Sigh. She needed to calm down. Cassia wasn't the one she was supposed to be angry with right now...
calm down...
