Alex watched the small smile that took Ginny's face in reaction his reply before witnessing something fleeting behind those guarded eyes of hers. He ventured the guess that there was a great deal she was suppressing. Her eyes were assessing him once again and he couldn't help but feel that familiar vulnerabilty in reaction to her scrutiny.
He offered her a nod, "that's fair. I'm ready when you are."

"From what I understand," Alex responded, assessing her guarded look, "is that you are part of some...organization which is secretly taking a stand of some sort against these Death Eaters. You are a group of people who are seeking to somehow handle this situation. You want to fight back."
He smiled, "I of course have questions as to the specifics but, in regard to committing to what you essentially stand for, I have no reservations whatsoever. We are all at risk," he shrugged, "might as well take the risk that's actually worth taking."

Alex resolved to stay silent on this matter, deciding against enticing the man's direct attention. That had been extremely unnerving, the way the Carrow had analyzed him. He saw the debate within the dark eyes, the battle between catching onto his underlying spite and accepting his answer as the truth. Either way though, he didn't want to push his limits.
He glanced to Caden as he provided the man with an answer. Yes, it was definitely a reasonable reply.

"Doesn't sound like any roller coaster I've been on," Alex replied, "but who knows?" His gaze shifted to Alecto briefly, "there's a first time for everything."

Alex looked to the older Malfoy curiously. He was planning something, that much was obvious, some gleam of insight was conveyed from his careful demeanor. Where was this boggart topic heading? Were they going to revisit that lesson? When Pansy answered, he smiled a little. She was very eager to provide the man with any answer he sought.

"Of course I'm going to worry," Alex replied, the disapproval returning. "Especially when you go around inviting danger like this." He glanced away a moment before shaking his head, "and, anyway, I'm not going to just sit by anymore. If the opportunity ever comes...I'll fight back. Unlikely, of course, but...just wishful thinking."

Alex simply stared at his friend silently a moment before shaking his head and offering a humorless smile, "right, of course. Such a...thrill."

"I am willing," Alex stated, entirely seeing the sense in taking such severe measures. It was about life or death. Trust had to be completely assured.

Alex nodded as he took a moment to consider the occurrence between Caden and Alecto in the Great Hall. Something needed to be done about their acts of tyranny, he was more assured of that now than ever.
"I definitely want to help," he replied, looking to her. "In any way I can."

Alex listened to Ginny and Caden's conversation and smiled as his friend responded with his typically positive outlook. In as long as he had known the boy, he had never seen anything get him down. It was really remarkable.

Alex ignored the slight chill that had been inflicted when Alecto ran a hand through his hair and looked to his friend as he slumped into his chair, exhaustion evident. He sighed before sliding him a glass of water.
"Here, you probably need it after all that screaming," he stated flatly, anger restrained.

Alex listened to the Malfoy's response as he held his eyes on the Death Eater before them. His own answer had contained an underlying disapproval. In his own way, he was calling the man, and all others like him, out on their sole reliance on the unforgivables. Hardly any of them realized that they were being used in turn, persuaded into following the Dark Lord.
Granted, they were insane, but why would sadistic people like them ever seek to follow a half-blood? A blood status they wrongly opposed? The manipulation of Voldemort had convinced them that they wanted it. They had already fallen subject to it. Truth be told...it was almost a remarkable feat that the Dark Lord had amassed so much loyalty and support. He despised it, of course, but couldn't deny the persuasive skill there. Charisma was the most effective weapon in existence.

Alex considered the question, as well as analyzing the sort of answer the deranged individual might want to hear. He considered merely staying silent on the matter, but also wanted to prevent anyone else from receiving any unwarranted scorn. Besides, he wanted to distract the man's attention from both Pansy and Leanna.
Every spell has some sort of weakness," he began carefully. "In my opinion, the Imperius curse is merely a scapegoat for those who possess neither persuasive ability nor any form of successful intimidation skills."

"Wasn't it nice?" Alex replied to his friend with a small smirk before glancing towards their new instructor as he directed them to sit. It was rather unexpected but...he was actually making a joke of some sort. Dry and somewhat flat as it was. He glanced to the grass before his smirk widened a little and he sat. This class wasn't going to be bad at all.

"Caden..." Alex looked to his friend disapprovingly. He was grateful for his intervening the other day with Alecto, but he also didn't like that he was continuing to try and shoulder her attention. The need for unity was stronger than ever. If enough people could oppose her...could she really do anything about it? Caden didn't need to approach this on his own.
"You should just make an effort to try and be more careful," he continued. "If you get yourself killed, it won't be better for anyone."

"I don't usually prefer it," he replied after receiving his cup. Carefully taking a small sip as the steam rose, he smiled. "This is very good. It was definitely the right decision to leave it to you."

"Sure," he responded before doing as she instructed and grabbing the milk. He handed it to her with a small smile, "thank you." The tea smelled great, the fresh herbal scent wafting towards him as it began to steep.

When Ginny came over to sit with them, Alex smiled and glanced toward their professor before returning his attention to her. "How was your tea?"

"Hm..." Alex replied as he observed the stubborn redhead. It was nice to see this side of her, the side he had only glimpsed while in the corridor. She was playful and exceptionally witty. "Perhaps you're right," he conceded. "I should probably thank you for preventing me from making a complete fool of myself."

Alex smirked, before lowering his voice slightly, "I think I can manage it." He tapped his forehead, "being in Ravenclaw and all. I'll find some way to figure it out."

Walking into the class, Alex saw Caden and nodded before taking a seat near the center of the room. "Hello, professor," he sent a smile towards Professor Sprout. "Ginny," his gaze shifted and he nodded to her as well.

Walking into the room, Alex made his way to Caden after nodding to Ginny. "What's the assignment?" he asked his housemate.
Though, from the looks of it, he already inferred that he wouldn't much like it. He caught sight of Pansy then, who was in a miserable state and couldn't help but feel somewhat sympathetic towards the girl. She appeared very frustrated.

Alex walked into the class and, spotting Caden, took the seat beside his before directing his eyes to the front, where he could see the Carrow's attention set on Pansy, Leanna and Theo. What exactly had been going on here?

Alex walked down to the class and spotted the group already gathered. He was momentarily surprised by the presence of Draco's father but allowed the assumption that he was probably going to be their new teacher. He supposed it was just as well.
He cast a small smile in Pansy's direction by way of greeting before settling beside his group of Ravenclaws. "Caden," he nodded before sending a smile between each Ginny and Leanna.

Alex glanced down at his friend, careful to keep his face neutral while he silently cursed at the woman. He could only hope that someday...someone would be able to inflict the same over her. Something definitely needed to be done about her though, that was for certain.
