She tried to get back into the mood of things, but someone something was off with her. She could feel it deep down, maybe it was just her ribs aching from the train incident, she put her hand up to her ribs and rubbed them a bit absently. "Thanks, but if you find someone else to show you around.. well." She shrugged a she smiled a bit, "No, it is okay! Honestly, I guess we are just quieter, but it is fine!!"

Ahh there is was.. The grin when she corrected herself. Yes, she could feel it now.. It was the whole friends things coming up. They were friends, nothing more. Well, it would be a fun year right? Right?? She was trying to convince herself of that when Chris spoke again, and she just had to laugh at his words. "A hunger storm?" She laughed a bit more, "Well, then by all means we should have not only popcorn but ice cream and chocolate!" She giggled a bit, she was really looking forward to a thunderstorm now.

Alex laughed as he spoke, He had gotten it. Or she had gotten his reference. She was excited, but she actually needed to think about the question now.. She would come up with an answer later. "Why thank you!!" She said grinning, "An A+! I wish all my grades were that good!" She exclaimed as she laughed a bit. She was pretty, not smart.. Well not Ravenclaw smart at least.

Ahhhh well that explained it! "Ohh yes, I will be practicing juggling alot! Now I know why the headaches. Apparently I will be dropping things alot? You never know! I might have hidden juggling potential! So after one time of practicing I will be perfect!" She grinned a bit, and then winked. "I bet I can beat you, next time we see each other at juggling!" She said laughing.

She grinned as she saw him blush, but her smile faded at his next words. "I think you would be surprised at how many times this pretty girl has hard her heart injured." She said softly, as she looked down at her plate which had filled with food. First her mother, than father. Than Damon, Torin, Damon again.. Her heart was probably falling to pieces at the moment.. It's a wonder she was still alive. She rubbed again at her ribs. The healer was right, she was sore.
