She would even explain her point a bit further because she didn't want Ell getting eaten or something because of ignorance. "Just think about. You're on your way to Herbology when a dragon flies over head...he sees the gloves before you see him and thinks you've outed his cousin." Sounds scary? Well that's because it was. "You see how much of a problem that could be, right?"
"Nah, I've been behaving myself." She said with a dismissive wave of her hand. "People like me don't cause trouble." Trouble simply had a way of finding her. Not her fault. "So I might have broken into the Headmistress' office but I had to--the sorting hat had it comin'." Yup it did.
BEAM. "See, told you you missed me." The 11 year old wasn't very sharp when it came to sarcasm.
Elliot...naive. Yeah. Riiiiight.
There were many flaws with this little explanation of Alexa's. And Elliot was going to for sure point out ALL OF THEM.
"Firstly, who is this 'they' that wants us to be attacked by dragons?" HUH? She continued,
"Secondly...dragon's wouldn't just be flying over Hogwarts. They're kept in extreme supervision wherever the dragon keepers are...." and Elliot didn't even think there were free dragons still in existence. Most of them were kept in sanctuaries..right? "
Thirdly, little one," she smirked, "
Even if a dragon DID see you..he wouldn't attack you because of the gloves...he would attack you because he's a dragon." Nodnodnod.
And fourthly...well, Elliot was sure there was more, but she was tired already of being a know-it-all...for the time being.
BROKEN INTO THE HEADMISTRESS' OFFICE?! Elliot gasped dramatically..
."Alexa! What in Merlin's-" she stuttered a bit...
"WHY?" Yes, why. Because that was incredibly FOOLISH!
Sigh. Sarcasm...it only really worked when the other person knew it as well...
