They all knew how to do them so if anything were to happened she'd be the only one who couldn't fire back at an offender. Of course that would change today becaus of the super nice Ravenclaw girl. GRIN.
Only problem is, there were terms and conditions that came with this lesson and they weren't the kind she agreed with but she couldn't very well say 'no' because then she'd never learn. People say you can learn all that by reading but seriously, everyone knew that wasn't going to happen so move on!
As she got closer to the gate she caught sight of her and the smile on her face grew wider. "Dora!!!!!! Hi!" she hurriedly skipped over to her with her eager face on. HEXING TIME? Oh and she said she had something for her so Lex looked about curiously wondering if it might be her own book of hexes so she could stay up and study them in her common room. It would be the only time she showed any interest in reading that's for sure!
Dora spotted Alexa about the same time as she was spotted, grinning when the girl was by her side. She pushed off the gate, and held out a book.
"Hey Alexa! I got this for you to keep." It wasn't actually a book on how to Jinx or Hex anyone in particular. The oppoisite actually as Dora's intentions had never been to teach her something to harm students here, but to protect herself. Cause Dora liked Alexa lots, but the girl was a bit daft sometimes on account of the not reading and need to know how to protect herself.
Sure she knew about the people protecting the younger girl, but what about when they weren't around? Dora was gonna handle that right now.
"
Defensive Magical Theory," That was the first book she gave her.
"Has some really good things in it about how to protect yourself. It also had some rubbish ideas, but she wasn't gonna tell Alexa cause she wanted the girl to read the book and find that out herself. And maybe gain common sense from it.
"I'm gonna make another deal with you. Every book you read that I give you, I'll teach you another hex, or jinx. Beginner ones to start, but then real interesting ones that you'll find fun. The books help, I can't teach you this stuff if you don't understand the magic, and you gotta read the books to do that." See how that worked, Alexa? She eyed the girl curiously.
"So, what do you say? We got another deal?"
