She raised an eyebrow at him when he patted her on the head. She wasn't quite following...
"Soo....because I'm a Gryffindor...I'll have boy problems...?" That made no sense!!!!!
"And I don't think I'll need your help because boys are gross so I won't be getting tangled with any of them any time soon." She said before stubbornly folded her arms at him. Pssh, her with boy problems; never.
WHAAAA?! 
Why was everyone climbing onto the chairs?!?! Hmm...
Climbs.
There now she was standing on one too but she couldn't see what the appeal was. She looked from the boy who had first spoken then over to the one that was now pointing an accusing finger at him. So then...they weren't supposed to listen to him?
Why was everything so controversial here?! Why was it that everytime someone said something someone else was always there to disprove it or something.
"Wait so he'd burn my shoes?!" She asked in shock, looking from him to Elijah once more.
"And do you really eat baby pygmy puffs...?"
What was wrong with these people...?
"Hmm, you sure about that? My daddy says talking always makes things better and it's even better to talk to strangers because then they don't know you so they have no reason to be biased against you." She said with wider smile. It was all true. She didn't know him very well so she would be more inclined to take his side than the side of whatever had gotten him so upset.
"So what'd ya say? You sure you don't wanna talk about it?" The boy didn't realize this but this was one of those rare times when Alexa cared about anyone outside of herself--which was understandable since the boy seemed close to tears!
