With that, she considered herself very fortunate to have knowledge of wizards, even if it meant she had more difficulty in Muggle Studies. "Learning muggle things wouldn't hurt, I mean me dad does business with 'em, so it's practical..." she mused, not wanting to delve into her family's somewhat shady business involving the sale of magically enhanced vegetables. "So, what do your mum and dad do?" Ellie inquired, eager to shift the focus back to the Gryffindor.

Alexandra listened intently to the girl and shook her head in agreement, "I cannot imagine the shock the parents go through." she said quite thoughtfully.

"Well, to be honest me mum and dad don't work per se. They inherited a modest amount of money and it has served them well. Me mum teaches some of the children Muggle stuff if the parents bring them around." she said with a shrug. SHe was blushing slightly. Alexandra didn't like to flaunt the fact that her family was well off. She was like the other kids, the money meant nothing.
