"Leave it to a Ravenclaw to read too far into some nice words." She teased, her expression lit with amusement. Lex seldom spoke with those in blue and for good reason but when she did talk to the ones she liked the result was usually pleasant enough and entertaining. "I don't flatter. It's not my job. It's called honesty. You'd be amazed what it can get you." Both good and bad of course. Not everyone could appreciate the truth and even less were happy you told them. People these days.

Lex laughed at his question because of everything she already knew about her skills at anything but drinks in the kitchen. "Believe me, I'd put my heart and soul into ordering those elves around but that's as much as I'm willing to. I actually want you making it out of there, not getting food poisoning." It may have been an overexaggeration but how much of one really? Last time she did her own cooking was her OWL exam when she nearly burnt the kitchen down--totally not her fault but there you had it. The kitchen...wasn't the best place for this Gryffindor unless she wasn't the one cooking. "This is the part where you tell me I'm a good friend for sparing you such horrors."

Lex watched him curiously for the moment of silence he left before he finally spoke. What? Snort. "The blue will never lose its touch. It's the people I'm not very found of and have become even less fond off." But only because it was true. Bloody house of idiots was all they were with obvious exceptions to this classification. She raised an eyebrow at his condolences before shrugging with an air of nonchalance. "Don't be sorry, I'm not and neither is he." He was already dating Vinnie, no? "Stuff like that happens." Especially when it came to her. She wasn't one to like anything or anyone for too long. Her head cocked to the side a bit at his off statement. Yes, odd because she didn't know why people didn't like being single. "I thought...you and Ves.....what?" Had she missed something?
