The boy smiled a little at her instead. Just smiled.

Alec thought that the question about the houses was an honest, innocent one but it seemed... that he had thought wrong. "Oh, I was just wondering..." he said, shrugging his shoulders, "I don't think we've ever met properly before but... I see you everywhere around Hogwarts." Honesty. He had plenty of it. ... Also, she knew that he was in Hufflepuff? "Yeah, I am! Erm... how did you know?"

The Hufflepuff didn't register the fact that the girl had muttered something under her breath because his grey-blue eyes landed on... a woman. An older woman who seemed to look busy but she was still RIGHT THERE. ... Shopkeeper? Or just a customer? Either way, Alec's eyes widened a little. They weren't going to be in trouble, were they? He smiled at her before looking over at the young Ravenclaw, mentally trying to end the latter telepathic messages. Act normal, Ravenclaw. ACT. NORMAL.


He was still touching his hair. Still. Weren't guys not supposed to care how their hair looked? That's what Adrienne had heard, at least, and she would definitely have preferred it if they didn't, because his constant hair-ruffling was getting past the point of annoying and beginning to be- well, anyway, he'd stopped now, and that was making him at least slightly more tolerable. Slightly. She still didn't like him, though, so while she stopped looking at him funny she didn't stop thinking at him funny.

"Mhmm...." She wasn't sure if she believed him. Hadn't he been in the Quiz Bowl whatever too? Maybe it was all just a front for spying! They wanted to know her secrets! Er... did she actually have any secrets? Well, anyway, Hogwarts definitely had secrets, so maybe they were trying to get at them through her- or, to distract her while they snooped around! They were tricky ones, they were. SPIES. "No, we haven't- and yes, we do, it's getting right annoying, it is." Should she introduce herself? It was the polite thing to do, but she wasn't entirely sure she wanted to be polite to this one. She sighed, and stuck out her hand. "I'm Adrienne. Second year." There, she'd been polite. Could she be done now?

Adrienne rolled her eyes. "You told me, during Astronomy. I thought you were a Snake." Merlin, didn't he remember anything? That was actually pretty pathetic. And... what was he looking at? Just because she didn't want to talk to him didn't mean he had the right to do other things while they were talking! She turned around - oh, it was just a person. Shopkeeper, probably. She ignored her and turned back to the boy, who was now looking at her oddly. "What're you looking at me like that for?" Was there something on her face?
