Alex simply remained quiet as he observed Caden's continued behavior in regard to the Carrow woman. He was dancing with danger, but he supposed that had always been his way. He glanced toward the two Slytherins and observed that the Malfoy boy was also remaining quiet while Pansy provided Alecto with the answer she had been seeking.

'Sure," he responded with a small nod, before standing and making his way over to the indicated area. "I can get it though, if you'd like."

Alex shrugged, "no idea." He glanced over, "I'll find out sometime."

At the sound of Caden's scream, Alex continued to fight the urge to look away, close his eyes or even glare up at Alecto. No reaction. He absolutely couldn't convey how angered he was over this. The woman was a tyrant, a wicked gleam glistening within her cold eyes. Her mind was so entirely far gone. It was...despicable, the extent of enjoyment she derived from inflicting pain like this.

Alex braced himself as soon as he heard the woman utter her spell, a hand clenching beneath the table. He wanted more than anything to at least try and stop her, but intervening would undoubtedly do more harm than good. If it were anyone else...he doubted he'd be able to withhold at least imploring her to stop or direct the spell towards him or something. However, he knew his friend could take it. He had to trust that. He was one of the strongest people he knew.

"Hm..." Alex mused in response, "you're right. That doesn't make much sense at all. It's always interesting to research where expressions like that originated."

Alex merely shook head and, though he appreciated his friend's sentiment, he would hardly wish for the same. "It's alright," he offered a small smile. "I don't mind being this way. It just puts me at a higher risk of attracting unwanted attention. I just have to be careful is all."

Alex closed his eyes and deeply inhaled. Caden was being too bold. He didn't like this at all. After a moment though, he returned his focus to the leering woman. What sort of reaction would she have? She was being too calm. It inflicted a very sinister feeling.

Alex glanced over before nodding and returning the smile, "no problem." He wondered if the girl had spoken with the rest of the group and what their consensus might've been.

Alex entered the room, once again grateful for the opportunity for escape in a place where he wouldn't be easily discovered. Making his way towards the couch, he sat and absently tapped his fingers as he awaited Ginny's arrival.

Alex tilted his head as he watched the Gryffindor leave, her steps purposeful and hasty. He inhaled deeply and remained still a moment, considering what he had jut agreed to before smiling, still entirely assured of his decision. Things were going to get very interesting. Standing then, he slung the strap of his bag over his shoulder before exiting the corridor at a leisurely pace.

Alex stiffened the instant Alecto claimed Caden's attention, the severe reality of the situation returning at once. She was distracted, but only for the moment. He did not like the new direction of the conversation between she and his housemate. He remained quiet and still, simply listening and dreading the conclusion of the tense situation.

"Well," Alex replied with a shake of his head and distant smile, "it's understandable. I have to constantly be on my guard around here. Unlike you," he shrugged, "I don't have an acceptable blood status to my name."

Alex shook his head and smiled, silently marveling at the fact that Caden always seemed to so effortlessly and inadvertently determine the direction of his thoughts. It was a little bizarre at times. "Definitely. I'm looking forward to it."
The majority of those people didn't even understand the race they were so set against. It would've definitely aided them to have at least researched and tried to understand the muggles a little. Due to this oversight, people like himself and Caden could take advantage of them through little, somewhat meaningless acts of rebellion. It could definitely be construed as fun.

"Oh? That definitely sounds like it'd be worth listening to," Alex nodded. "You'll have to show me sometime." He wondered if the Death Eater's would even know the difference. If they were as against the muggles to the extent he suspected them to be, he seriously doubted they would.

Alex permitted a small chuckle in response, unable to help himself as he also observed the red-head's departure. "No, not at all."

"Interesting," Alex replied as he considered it. He immensely enjoyed music as well, but was almost entirely restricted to the classics. His father wasn't all that keen on any unnecessary involvement with anything muggle-related. Still, he had listened to a few artists from some of his other classmates and several back in the day with his mother. "I think you're right about that. They've definitely shown a mastery of the music industry."
He tried to place the line which Caden had sung, but didn't think he had ever heard it before. "I like the sound of that one though. Who's the artist?"

Alex's eyes widened a little in response. What a question to ask at a time like this. He had absolutely no sense of setting. Still, he forced himself to remain calm. He was probably overreacting. Hopefully.
"Well," the boy responded, careful with his words. "I am a little excited, yes. I'm sure it will come with it's own set of challenges though."

"Pft. Mhm," Alex replied before tightening his hold a moment and then releasing him altogether. He slowly sat up before tilting his head and looking down at Caden with a raised brow, "what was that you were humming anyway?"

Alex doubled over in reaction to the kick, before straightening with a small smirk and shaking his head before leaning forward and wrapping an arm tightly about the other boy's neck in a headlock. "Not bad at all."

"That's true," Alex agreed with a small nod, still wary and a little tense in reaction to Alecto's presence. However, he found himself relaxing just a little as the conversation progressed.

Alex ran a hand through his hair and entered the common room, eyes downcast before he lifted them at the sound of humming. He spotted Caden on the couch and paused before shifting his glance about the otherwise empty room. After a moment, he moved as quietly as possible before leaning over his friend and smacking him on the forehead with a roll of parchment.

"Tch, lame," Caden responded, shaking his head at that and maintaining the lighthearted tone. "You should get out more, have some fun, spend a little less time on homework or whatever it is you do." Lowering his voice, though more for the dramatic effect than his concern for his volume, "You should try causing a little trouble sometimes. It's way more fun." Alex simply rolled his eyes in response to what Caden had said, "is it really?" However, as he observed his housemate's teasing with Leanna and her susceptibility to it, he couldn't help but smile very, very slightly. Despite how foolish his behavior seemed, it was more than a little amusing. Gaze shifting briefly, Alex caught sight of Ginny's scrutiny and saw that slight astonishment there in reaction to Caden's display. He quickly looked away though and back to the boy beside him. He didn't want to draw any unnecessary attention to her.

Caden's implications were clear and Alex fought the urge to glare in response. He couldn't afford to let Alecto see the extent of truth to his friend's words. Though, as sharp a woman as she was, he doubted it made much of a difference.
"Perhaps boredom merely suits me," he replied tonelessly.

Alex narrowed his eyes slightly in response to the boy. Now wasn't the time for this. However, once the thought had left him, he considered that perhaps Alecto would be appeased by a bit of amusement.
And so, he forcibly smirked, ignoring how uncomfortable he was within the woman's scrutiny. "But you never do the things you should. It doesn't become you."
