She thought it was hilarious.
Lexi gave Alice a firm nod and a bright smile. "Yes, let it go before it breaks you down, kiddo. Best advice I could give... this coming from the one that let it all break her down," she said with a rather humorless laugh.
"The Statute is an antiquated piece of grabage if you ask me... and I have heard enough about Muggles lately... When my favorite class gets taken over by MUGGLE talk I get kind of upset. Defence Against the Dark Arts... talking about Muggles? Seriously," she said in a bit of a huff.
Alice couldn't help but give a slight smirk as she imagined Lexi embracing her inner lioness of Gryffindor while she chowed down on whatever she could get her hands on in the Great Hall.
"Well now you've got me intrigued," Alice said with a little chuckle.
"Perhaps I'll pay closer attention next time we're both eating together." This sounded like something that Alice had been missing out on. She wasn't going to lie, she could be a bit of a slob herself (probably due to her innate clumsiness), but from the way Lexi made it sound, she had nothing on her!
Alice nodded as Lexi told her it was best to just let it go. Alice had done all she could do to help her father and ultimately it was his choice as to whether or not he was going to let her mother leaving destroy him. Perhaps that made her callous or perhaps it just made her realize that sometimes you have to selfish, and to be quite honest a 12 year old shouldn't have the responsibility of taking care of their father.
She couldn't help but snort slightly as Lexi commented that the Statute was garbage.
"Well I suppose to some it must be interesting," Alice said with a sympathetic shrug. There was nothing worse than having to sit and listen to someone talk about something that you could care less about. Alice often felt that way in her math classes in Muggle School. Just. Plain. Boring.
"What all have we been learning in Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Alice had missed so much work she was sure, and she was dreading trying to play catch up. She hated falling behind and it seemed like her work load was going to be never ending for the rest of this term. She might as well have been preparing for the O.W.L.s given how much studying and work she was going to have to do.
