"I was told to talk to Gryffindors and get to know them." That was true; which was why she had been asking people if they were Gryffindors or not, but this was the first one she had come across. 'Talk to Gryffindors' Headmaster had said; Here is a Gryffindor. So talk. She should be trustworthy enough. The sixth year Norwegian thought to herself. "Hello... Alexa" she repeated her greeting so she could add the name to the face. If she was going to be staying with Gryffindor for the remainder of the visit it might be good to be on a first name basis, even if this girl was not a friend. How did the saying go? Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Karina didn't know yet if this girl would be an enemy, but she could be, and Karina was on the lookout.
Would you look at that, the girl
did go to school. She didn't sound American...no...so not Salem and obviously not considering the difference in continents. Lex paused to think. Not French either. Going to Beauxbaton, you'd be bound to develop an accent eventually...Durmstrang...? Being careful not to squint at the girl, she tried finding anything that would distinguish her as such but really there was no fool proof way of being completely sure. Probably wasn't that important, especially if she never saw her again. Just another bit of additional information her brain tended to discard.
Lex raised an eyebrow at the girl. Was she listening to herself?
"Umm...that...that's actually kinda creepy. Who told you to talk to a Gryffindor?" Strangers in a shop, sure! Strangers in a shop that didn't go to your school but were instructed by someone that was equally a stranger, to talk to members of your housemates...granted she was still inclined to say sure but something told her that was a NO.
"And I didn't actually catch your name. What is it?" Because somehow information was being passed her and she'd like to keep it as even as possible. Especially given she still didn't know where the girl was from.
