"I agree," Alex nodded, sincerity taking his gaze. "Completely. We've all...grown up a little. We're having to consider things that never occurred to us before."

Wasn't that the truth? "You'd think I would've learned that by now," Alex replied with a small smile. "After everything that has happened this term especially." He hadn't expected any of it. For these Death Eaters to take over the school, for his and the other student's lives to shift so suddenly, for his own confliction when it came to each side, and even his fascination with one of those Death Eaters. It was sort of...remarkable, in a strange way.

"Good point," Alex nodded, before pausing to consider. "Perhaps it would've been more accurate to say that it was just a little unexpected."

Alex wondered how he could respond without offending her. It was just an unexpected interest of hers. He shrugged then and offered a smile, "no, it's not that. I just didn't know this about you." His smile widened a little, "your enjoyment of food, I mean."

Alex raised a brow then, the amused and somewhat surprised expression returning to his face. She was getting pretty excited over this. "Of course," Alex nodded. "That all sounds great." It was a fair bit of food, but the girl definitely seemed hungry. Why shouldn't she indulge in this after the ordeal she'd gone through? The requested items were summoned into the room and he tilted his head and simply continued to watch.

"I imagine so," Alex responded, keeping his tone playful and returning her wink before taking the seat across from her. It did admittedly bother him a little, that she was implying prior, less than ideal treatment. However, he was determined not to think on it. "So...smoked ham, right?"

"I have my moments," Alex responded with a small smirk before leading her over to the table and then reaching out to pull out her chair. "Seems appropriate for the situation, at least."

Alex nodded and focused on something primarily simple. A dining setting with a small table and a couple of chairs. This room was certainly strange, shifting like this into something else entirely. He stood then and looked down at the girl before offering his hand.

Alex observed that blush of hers and his smile widened a little bit. Was she embarrassed? He glanced about his surroundings then, "what sort of limitations does this room have?"

Alex observed her then, the amusement increasing. She really liked food. That was something he hadn't known about her. "Would you like to get something to eat?"

Alex returned her chuckle with a soft laugh of his own, "the food, huh? Yeah, I've heard it's pretty good. Kind of spicy, right?"

Alex looked up at Pansy and smiled a little. Again, he mused that the pressure on the Slytherins was a great deal higher than for the other houses. It was expected of them. "Anyway," he decided to change the subject. "When did you first decide that you want to travel?"

Caden had described it in somewhat the same way. Alex's eyes lowered as he considered it. "I see." So, she had. He wasn't surprised, just a little upset with their situation. They were being forced into doing so many things they didn't want to do.

"No," Alex responded as he shook his head. "Not really." He'd been a witness to it though. On more than one occasion. His thoughts automatically turned to that day in the Great Hall with Caden and Alecto.
He immediately tried to divert his thoughts, but the image of that woman lingered. He hadn't seemed able to completely cast her from his mind since the encounter they'd had in the Hospital Wing. He looked to Pansy again, "have you ever actually...cast it?"

Alex glanced down as the girl shifted, that motion of hers not escaping his notice before he again nodded and looked to her, "that's fine. Just whenever you get around to it." The way she so offhandedly spoke of her 'detention' was still a little troubling.

Alex smiled and nodded, "fair enough. That's a good answer." He took a sip of his own drink then before narrowing his eyes a little in thought. She wasn't a very open person at all. Very guarded. He'd say it was a trait that would help keep her out of trouble, but she seemed to find trouble for herself anyway. Outspoken as she was. "Hey, by the way, did you ever get a chance to speak with Slughorn? For the Forbidden Forest visit?"

"Just that I wouldn't place a title like that on anyone," Alex replied with a small shrug, "without getting to know them first. In your case," he tilted his head slightly, analyzing her. "I think there's a bit more to you than that."

Alex blinked, smile faltering slightly. My, she was very blunt. "That's not exactly what I meant," he assured her, composing himself again.

"I try not to place too much belief in rumors until I've had a chance to verify them myself," Alex replied to her, smile widening a bit.

Alex offered her a small smile. Yes, he was an idealist, very much so. "Thanks but," he sighed, "I'm hoping we can all make it out of this okay." This girl was sincere and straightforward, though also cautious. She didn't entirely trust him. He tilted his head then, "but anyway, why don't you tell me a little more about yourself?"

"But what value would that life have, if you don't fight for making it your own?" Alex glanced down as she removed her hand before looking back up at her, "And I'm not saying you should just recklessly oppose what they tell you to do, keeping yourself alive should be your first priority. However, there are people who will help you if you let them. None of us are alone in this."

"You know," Alex replied, tilting his head then. "My way of thinking is, it doesn't matter who your parents are or where you come from, this is your life and you should be free to live it the way you want." He smiled a little, "I certainly intend to stray as far as possible from my own father's footsteps."

"That's good," Alex replied before shaking his head. "I don't know if it's such a smart tactic of theirs to train the people who resent them." He looked to her pointedly, "who might someday turn against them."

"I hope so," Alex's smile widened a bit, "stubborn enough anyway." He tilted his head then, "maybe, after you've been trained, you can repay the favor to him someday."

Alex lowered his eyes as she said, feeling a little bit helpless in this situation. Was there really no other option for her? She was obviously against this path, but was being forced down it anyway. He didn't like that. She deserved to live the life she wanted. He sighed, "Pansy...are you going to survive this?" He smiled a little and lifted his eyes, "I'm worried about you."

"You're welcome," Alex replied softly before shaking his head, a slight anger present as he thought about what she'd had to go through. "Was it Lestrange?"

Alex stood silently, thinking over what the woman had said a moment before also turning and then reaching down to grab the book he had abandoned. He absently observed the title before looking to her again, "aren't you at risk of losing yourself to those feelings though?" He moved forward and took a seat on the couch, eyes still observing her. "I mean, when I cast that just now, I could hardly even think clearly."

Alex grabbed Pansy a soda as well before making his way back to the couch, sitting beside her and holding out her drink. "Primarily uneventful," he replied. "It usually is." He then narrowed his eyes slightly as he considered the state she was in, "how bad are you hurting?"
