SPOILER!!: Jasmine

Thinking of herself as one who generally flew under the radar, she didn't think that too many people knew her other than in passing. She had seen Lex in class and around the castle, but they had never oficially met. "Well it's nice to formally meet you Lex,", Jasmine said. So she got around, heard things......hmmm, she might be a good person to know. The only thing that Jasmine knew about her was that she could always be seen with sweets of some sort.
Jasmine looked at the kneazle sitting between them. "Is Felix friendly? Is it OK if I pet him?" Or does he not relate to strange people? Jasmine was not exactly in the mood to be scratched today and besides, she wasn't one to force herself on unreceptive animals.
Seeing Lex reach for food, Jasmine realized just how hungry she was. The turkey sandwiches looked good so she grabbed one for herself. Taking a bite, she listened to Lex describe Felix's food preferences. When she asked about pets, Jasmine responded. "I have a dog back at home. Then her face appeared sad for the briefest of moments when she said, "I was hoping to get a pygmy puff one day". That probably wouldn't happen now because of......reasons.
Jasmine continued to eat her sandwich before pausing a moment. "So Lex, what about you? Where are you from?" She always found it interesting to know where her classmates were from. There were students here from all around the world and Jasmine found that fascinating.
There was that strange habit that others displayed again. It'd been a while since she had to disregard it but it'd popped up again. How did one tell someone they were happy to know them...before actually knowing them? It was the oddest thing in the world to the Gryffindor. For all Jasmine knew she could have been perfectly rude and horrid--not that she was, depending on who you asked but that was the prinicple of the matter. Likewise, Lex didn't know much about this girl except that she always hung out with that weird Chris dude so she wasn't going to agree on it being nice to know her, not until she
knew. In stead, Lex gave a small nod and ripped at the turkey slice to feed her kneazle again.
"He's super friendly once there's some affection in it for him. Only time he gets otherwise is with people who's company I don't particularly fancy." Felix understood when she didn't like people and he was far from accepting of those. Generally though, he'd rub against anyone for an ear scratch.
While Felix finished off the strip of trukey slice she'd offered him, Lex reached for another sandwich--this one with beef and melted cheese by the look of it and took a bite. This was heavenly. For that one second she forgot they were all trapped inside and her anxieties melted--but then she caught that look.
"Why don't you get one? They'd be brilliant for Hogwarts. My best friend had one, Mags, she and Felix were almost friends." Almost because the kneazle couldn't accept that she wasn't his next meal. It was a bit hard to differentiate sometimes for her baby.
In the moment of silence, Lex took another bite, relishing in the taste and the warmth that still radiated from the sandwich. The silence continued when her pause was added to the earlier one before she spoke.
"By technicality I'm from Scotland but I grew up my whole life just outside London." With the occasional family trip back there to visit her grandparents. Fun.
"And you? Anywhere fancy?"
