LEX WAS NOT BOUNCING OKAY???? She was merely walking three steps in one bound which actually wasn't very possible but excitement made a person do strange things. She was SO ready for this. EXTRA ready for this! She and Kat were gonna go in there, punch a plant or two, whip up a quick potion and BOOOM done!

Her overly excited steps slowed only as they approached what looked like a cave. This was the time to exercise 'extreme caution' or whatever the heck it was that Ravenclaws called it.

Pffft, she had this. No getting eaten alive today. Not this Gryffindor. Alexa gave a short glance to Kat, making sure she hadn't lost her pseudo!sister somewhere in all the excitement of man eating plants. Good, she was there. Slowly she made her way into the cave, noting all the plants in it--HOLY KNEAZLE WAS THAT A SNARGALUFF?? She had to be dreaming! NO ONE pinch her!! Eeeeep!!! The other plants were duly noted, yeah, Herbology student, had to know and all that jazz but SERIOULSY, the snargaluff. Did Alice see? COULD Alice see?

She...wanted to get closer...just a little but then a rustling sound drew her attention. Her eyes landed on the aloe plant, just behind it a--sweet circe! WHAT happened to the eeeelf??? Her eyes widened as it made it's way to...a cauldron? Right, this thing involved potions too...right, she didn't forget, nope.

...."The elf's suffering Kat." CLEARLY. Just LOOK at it. "What do you think's wrong with him?" If she had to guess she'd say someone slipped him a swelling solution. Not hard to tell. Just...just look at hiiiiiim. He would get cuddles when this was all over.

For now, strategy. This was mission: help the house elf. Poor, POOR elf.
