Point was, Lex had stopped paying attention; completely distracted to the point where she didn't hear the footsteps approaching behind her so the hands suddenly slipping over her eyes startled her some.
Before she could start sending blind hexes, whoever it was spoke and at first it was hard to tell but then a wide grin spread across her face. Alice. There was no mistaking it. She'd spent enough time with her to know when her voice was being distorted.
"Might I suggest a voice changing charm next time?" Lex asked, pulling away Alice's fingers to get a good look at her. People said you changed after you hit the big world. They lied. Stick her in one of Lex's robes and no one would know better. The Gryffindor hopped out of her seat and pulled her into a hug. One that more accurately told how much she'd missed her than words on parchment could.
"How am I supposed to perform a charm when my hands are over your eyes?" she asked exasperatedly. Wasn't like she had enough effort in her to do it before the situation arose either, so it looked as if Alice would just have to better her voice distortion skills. A lot.
Before she had the chance to throw herself into a seat, Lex had attacked her with a hug (a HUG? Was this really Alexa Cambridge, or what?). She was almost too shocked at the sight of it to react, patting the kid's head awkwardly for a few moments until she finally got the hang of the squishing thing. How weird. And creepy. Alice HAD missed her, but... she could let go now, right?
"How've you been? And are you hungry? Pro player salary, food's on me." Wink wink.
