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.
Laughing slightly Lexi shook her head. "
It's not for the faint of heart or... the weak stomached," Lexi said giggling. "
But, we can head to the kitchens for a quick bite if you'd like. I COULD eat," she said with a grin.
"
Well yes, it is interesting to some, I am sure. But, it is all we have been covering in ALL of our classes. Muggles and the piece of crud Statute. I'd quite like to get my magical education you know," Lexi said as she tossed her book onto the table beside herself.
Standing up slowly and stretching a great stretch she said, "
Come on, let's go eat or somefink. I need to get out of here. Oh and DADA... was about Muggles too. It's been utterly useless if you ask me. Who can learn to defend themselves against Dark Arts if all you talk about is Muggles and a bloody antiquated Statute?" Nfffmmmmm. Whatever.
Food? Yes! Let's go. Lexi nodded her head toward the portrait hole as if to say LET'S GO LITTLE LION.
