Yeah, this would do for now. "Thanks!"
She stuffed a cookie in her mouth as she briefly pondered the younger lion's question. "Dunno," she answered with a shrug after swallowing the cookie. "Who'd have the time to switch it out?" She'd gotten her kinda early and they were already like this. So no one could have switched everything, could they? Wouldn't it just be the way the Headmistress wanted it? No idea why she'd want them all to use plastic cups and things, but stranger things had happened at Hogwarts.
There were reasons she liked Penelope. One of them being that she didn't question food. Unlike Melanie, she wasn't asking a whole bunch of questions about where she got them, or how legal what she did was. Lex grinned over at her as she helped herself...and help herself she did!
Merlin!
It was a good thing Lex had thrown quite a lot into the bag otherwise, seeing her fish out so many might have been unnerving. It was all good. The point was to share the food so people wouldn't be starving while they waited. She peered down in the bag...pretty sure there were still plenty...
Then the girl raised an interesting point.
"Hmmm...I dunno...guess I never thought of that. Think the house elves might have helped the person. Like...can you actually bribe a house elf." Now THAT was a curious thought, one she'd have to look into.
SPOILER!!: Melanie!

Lex getting caught would not be pleasant. Lex getting detention would also not be pleasant. So she simply kept her hand on her mouth, trying to calm herself down and not give the girl a lecture.
But afterwards in the dorms, Melanie would have to explain to Alexa how sneaking down to the kitchens, even if she was hungry, was inappropriate.
She lowered her hand, took in a deep breath and let it out. In... and out... in... out... "What type of cookie did you t- I mean... do you have?" Melanie asked, giving the girl a slight smile.
Melanie was starting to worry Lex. Her wide eyed stare wasn't exactly helping the situation. It kinda made it seem like her efforts weren't appreciated, which kinda wasn't true because Penelope seemed real happy when she heard that she had food. Shouldn't Melanie have been happy too??
She was about to put her bag away, TOTALLY DEJECTED BY THE WAY, but then the girl was asking about the kinds she had.
Eeeep!!
"Well if I'm being honest I really don't know. I found a tray of the stuff and I slipped them into my candy bag, then I found the cupcakes, really just sitting there too so I took them as well." It was only after she said that that she realized how not necessarily nice it sounded and quickly sought to fix that.
"But, I'm sure it didn't belong to anyone and it's fine!" BEAM. Then she extended the bag to her.

"Yup, another firstie, I'm Sly" he introduced, the smile staying firmly on his face though he was quite sure that it was growing as he spoke before he thought that he should probably give her his proper name instead of just a nickname. "Well... Sylvester actually, but most people call me Sly"
A Firstie who wasn't very sensitive to being poked either. She liked him already!
"Well hi there Sly!" He said most people called him that. She wasn't most people but Sylvester was too long for her liking so she'd go with it.
"Are you happy with where the sorting hat put you?" Very important question right there. You couldn't be a Gryffindor and not have some kind of lion pride. It just didn't work like that and in fact it kinda sounded
weeeird. She herself had wanted to be sorted into Ravenclaw but now she couldn't even think about that. It just wouldn't have been the same.
Also.
"Why are you eyeing your cup like that? Is it talking in funny voices?" And with that she gave him a wide eyed, curious stare.

Where was Zahra? He did not see her anywhere and he got a little nervous again. His BFF better not have backed out on their deal otherwise they were not going to be BFF's anymore.
"Hello everyone!" He called out as he swung one leg over the bench seat and planted his behind.
He needed food. In all his excitement he had not eaten anything since breakfast and he was now starving. Maybe one of his fellow Lions would have a pre-dinner snack hidden in their pockets.
THIS ONE was hard to miss. THIS ONE had her beaming.
Finally a Gryffindor that she could actually tell was
happy with the sorting hat's decision. She was beginning to think they were all a lost cause in one way or another but then she saw
him.
Oooooooo and he was loud enough for Gryffindor too!!
"Hello YOU!" Because they were shouting, that's what they were doing. Couldn't anyone else tell? As oblivious as she was even
she could see this.
"You seem happy enough to be sitting here so lemme officially welcome you to Gryffindor!" BEAM.
"I'm Alexa Cambridge, Third Year Gryffindor in charge." Yeah, all that was necessary. Problem? She didn't think so.
"Who are you?" GRIN.
