Hmmmm?
Twisting ever so slightly, Lex glanced over her shoulder at the person that had spoken. Oh hey, she was the Firstie from the robe shop. She didn't remember seeing her at the table....but then she hadn't exactly
been at the table most of the night so she supposed that could be the reason. It took another moment to remind herself this was all a big mixup that the kid wouldn't have known about, at which point she just kinda shrugged.
"It's not what I was talking about. Apparently the Professors had something else in mind?"
Kinda disappointing when you considered all the last minute planning she'd done but,
"A party's a party and we might still be able to pull off the sleepover." So not a completely lost cause, yeah.
"Oh. Welcome to Gryffindor. Looks like you had what it took afterall." Remembering that conversation they'd had that day.

Wait. "I thought you had something to do with this?" he said, gesturing toward the candy-topped tables. Wasn't this the party Alexa had invited everyone to? Had the professors really crashed her party before it even began?
That was...
... That was pretty hilarious, actually. And a little sad. But mostly hilarious.
Laughing, the boy took a bite from one of the cauldron cakes and plopped down on the nearest couch.
They
could have pulled off all that. Maybe not nearly as impressively but they had food and that would have been enough for everyone. The Professors were possibly showing off.
Lex stood blinking and watching Bolton have the laugh of his life. At least one of them found this funny but it probably didn't matter to him. For all she knew, he'd been at the table the whole night and had no obligation to make up for stuff. Ugh.
"Right, laugh it up." Might as well. It'd already happened and sulking was serious effort.
"Did you know about this?" Quote:

There was another voice pulling on her attention. So many of them and again she was completely lost on the name. Good thing the girl got right to it when she started talking. Lex gave her a nod of acknowledgement.
"Hey, I'm Alexa. You can just call me Lex, it's no problem." The Prefect could count on one hand the amount of people that bothered with her whole name. As for what she was doing...she gave a casual shrug and a glance around the room before her gaze settled on the Firstie again.
"Trying to enjoy a party I didn't know about. Talk about a surprize, huh?" Quite the surprize actually.
"Welcome to Gryffindor."
Let's all pretend that wasn't late. Ahem.

Her parents went here and so did her uncles and aunt. But she was the only the second person to be sorted into Gryffindor. Emmylou shrugged and smiled a bit, she looked at everyone. Her ocean blue eyes tried to look at five different places at once.
This one wasn't a Firstie, that much was clear. Must have been one of those transfers. Well she'd never get very far just standing there by herself. Lex waved her over with one of those smiles you're meant to have when you were being a welcoming authority figure. Who made those rules anyway? There were a couple that needed changing.
"Welcome to the party--not my party but I guess it's just as good." There might have been some not so subtle looks given to the Professors but you know, those were fleeting because she was doing that welcoming thing she'd neglected to do earlier in the night.
"I'm Alexa, Prefect and all that fancy stuff and so's he." She said jabbing a thumb in Bolton's direction. He was kinda hard to miss with all the laughing he was doing at her expense, JUST SAYING.
"And you are?"
