Nooooooooooooooooo way.
She continued shaking her head, albeit with a polite smile, at the girl's offer of a letter and cookies and the like. "No thank you, Alexa... dear..... I have cookies of my own. A gift from the House Elves." She pointed to the tin beside her chair.
Ah, and so the troublemaker's friend COULD speak! Fascinating. "Thank you for the letter," the Headmistress nodded first. Then she listened to the girl, one eyebrow raised all the while, and at the end of her speech, Anastasia found herself smirking.
"You know," she thought about a way to phrase this, "having been a recent visitor to Professor Lafay's office, I can CERTAINLY see where you're coming from with this request. I don't think we need to ask Lafay's permission to replace the chairs, however."
She winked at the girl. "I think we could simply use a bit of magic on those ugly, uncomfortable chairs, no? And we could give her a sample of what it feels like to sit on something so ugly and uncomfortable by transforming HER desk chair. What do you two say?"
Her eyes flicked toward Lex, briefly, because she had an inkling of what SHE would say....
Lex was in the middle of another BEAM when she was suddenly interrupted by the Headmistress saying her least favourite word. "No". Her expression dropped slightly but she tried to maintain the Christmas cheer. What was the big deal? It was just hair. No matter how pretty it looked, at the end of the day it was still just as flammable as anyone else's.
"Fine. I won't touch it, jeez." No need to start freaking out over a simple question.
Her mood started sinking even faster. Just to recap, she didn't want her writing her a letter, she didn't want her touching her hair and now she didn't even want the cookies that
others had worked so hard she had worked so hard to bake. POUT. From the corner of her eyes she saw Seri giving her a weird look. She thought to ask her about it but then the girl started going on about those uncomfy chairs in Professor Lafay's office.
Wait--EEEWWWWWWW! She was agreeing with the Headmistress on the pink idea! Ick! Gross! Disgusting! Why would anyone want anything in
PINK?! What stunned her even more was that the woman actually agreed!--No...she did more than that! The cheer came back to Lex's face as she listened to whatever it was the Headmistress was saying. By the time she was done Lex was grinning from ear to ear.
"Neat! Sounds fun--I'm definitely in!" As if she would pass this up. No way. Not when the Headmistress was the one giving the offer. Talk about a get out of jail free card. Mischief was her calling; she couldn't help it.
