As Alex continued to unwaveringly meet Ginny's stare while she inspected him further, he saw the hesitance. She was trying to determine whether it was safe to be discussing these things with him. However, he relented to the fact that all he could really do was patiently wait for her to arrive at her own conclusions about him. She was curious but wary, and he admired that. Two entirely opposing forces, which could be interestingly compared to the contrast between her fiery strands of red and the cool, collected hue of her eyes.
But she had decided to open up, if even a little. He knew that any direct interaction with the Carrow siblings was never a pleasant experience for anyone. And they had wanted something from her on top of it. There was no telling how far they'd gone in trying to acquire it.
"I'm sorry," Alex said, feeling it appropriate to offer a bit of sympathy. He thought of the way she had worded her response and smiled gently, "I gather you didn't offer them anything though." Whether she actually knew anything or not, he couldn't tell, but he mused that she probably would've withheld any information regardless.

Alex chuckled softly before nodding, "yeah, I guess that's kind of obvious." His smile lingered though and he tilted his head, noting the reactionary smile that had crossed her face. It somehow suited her. "But I meant more like..." he narrowed his eyes as he searched for the right wording, "a particular instance, perhaps."
Appraising her closely, he surmised it could very well just be the weight of everything she was having to deal with, though felt compelled to continue all the same. He shrugged, "for the sake of conversation."

A companionable silence fell, in which Alex was lost in thought for a moment. However, he recovered easily before glancing to the girl beside him and observing her face again. With her eyes closed and breaths seeming to relax, he recalled her earlier statement, about dodging teachers, and wondered if it was something she cared to discuss in further detail.
Why not endeavor it? It would probably be nice to just simply converse with someone without fear of being overheard or reprimanded.
"Is there anything in particular you're trying to escape from?"

Alex reclaimed his seat and shifted his gaze to meet hers before shrugging, "just needed to get away. It's a nice place to escape to." Glancing away, he stared at the wall across from them, thinking over the current term. A lot of things had changed in very drastic ways. Would anything ever be normal again?

He considered her response a moment and decided that Ginny was the more careful sort, a wise trait to posses. He smiled again before standing and taking her hand, "pleasure to meet you. I'm Alex."
Though he had heard of the Weasley, he had never actually been properly introduced to her. He recognized a fierce determination in her gaze though, one that prevailed, no matter how difficult the times.

Alex made his way into the Great Hall and paused in the doorway before glancing towards his house table and hesitating, spotting Alecto Carrow and Theo Nott. However, he decided to try and ignore it before quietly taking a seat, offering the woman a small nod by way of greeting.

Alex looked up at the sound of her voice, briefly tensing before relaxing as he recognized the red-head as Ginny Weasely, a Gryffindor and friend to their former classmate, Harry Potter.
He offered a small smile, "no worries. I don't mind." Tilting his head, he observed her somewhat distressed demeanor. "Are you okay?"

Alex reached the corridor and sighed before lowering himself and taking a seat against the wall. It was always nice to just get away for a little while in a place of solitude. It gave him time to think.

Username: sfahey13 Character Name: Alexander “Alex” Chevalier Status: Student House/Affiliation: Ravenclaw Year (if student): 7 Description: Born in France to a Muggle mother, Alexander never knew his estranged father. He had a carefree and happy childhood. However, once he started displaying signs of magic, his mother decided it was best to send him to England in order to reconnect with his pureblood father. The man was strict and hard on him and his outlook on Muggles conflicted drastically with Alex’s own. Now a 7th year student at Hogwarts, Alexander has learned to keep his opinions to himself and tries to avoid any trouble, though he firmly opposes Voldemort and his teachings. A reserved realist, his primary skills are in defence against the dark arts.
