"You did?" he said, feeling better because SHE had lost points for an incredible reason too. He would still have nightmares of losing the House Cup, but at least he knew he wasn't the only one to blame.
Ooooh. She meant like that. He offered her another grin. "I suppose so." He giggled, obviously enjoying calling Sonea an 'idiot'. That made him feel better. Maybe he should bring Alexa some ice-cream to show his gratitude. Hmm...
He could keep them till the end of the year? FANTASTIC! She was DEFINITELY being served ice-cream from his hands. It didn't occur to ask whether he should hide it from others. Alexa wouldn't read an illegal book. Nope.
"YES! I want to! Can we, now? I mean, after you're done here?" YES? He would take any gesture from her as a 'yes'. He watched eagerly as she waved her wand again--and his mouth formed a perfect O as his head imitated the fall of the butterfly into her hands.
"I wanna learn." Now.
"You are the most modest person I've run into, you know?" She said with a wide grin. He cost a Snake 10 points AND annoyed her enough to make her livid but all he did was smile all shy like. It was precious! A part of her wanted to pinch his cheek for being so adorable but she didn't want to scare him off so she kept her hands to herself.
"I did." She said with a nod and a grin that had become an amused smile. Looking back, that night had been epic. First night at Hogwarts and she was taking on Second Years.
"It's nothing to worry about, especially since you're a Hufflepuff. Have you seen you're lead on the scoreboard? Five points has nothing on you."
Oh and there we go! He was getting the idea and found it just as funny as she had.
"Exactly. My Mama Vivi told me that idiots are everywhere. I find learning to laugh at them helps." REALLY, it did.
Lex beamed proudly at his excitement about the books. He reminded her of her when she'd first seen them in the shop. And well, she already had a list of the ones she would try learning so lending him a book or two wouldn't have hurt.
"Just promise me you'll be careful and won't hurt yourself. Start real simple and work your way up." Some good advice from a reckless Gryffindor. There was something you didn't see every day.
"But sure! Once we're done here you can walk with me to my Common Room.".........He wanted to learn?
"Alright! Get your wand out. Once you have it I'll remove the charm and you can try on this little guy." Only after she was sure he wouldn't hurt himself or the butterfly.
