The sullen blonde boy's annoyed look went straight over Alexandra's head, probably stabbing into some poor soul unfortunate enough to have glanced their way. Their strange friendship (though she wasn't sure it could be correctly called that) had rendered her immune to all of his glares, sneers and other such looks of annoyance he shot her way in reply to her usual sarcastic comments. Reaching for a cup of hot tea, she noticed the other girl try and fail to hide an amused smile. Well, at least one person seemed to appreciate her comment.
Unsurprisingly enough, the conversation dwindled to nothing after Theo's cranky comment telling her to finish her breakfast and by doing so letting him eat in peace. She had no arguments against that as the redhead was hungry as well. She turned back to her breakfast, raising her eyes every so often to observe the hustle and bustle of most students as they hurried off to Hogsmeade. She too had plans to visit a couple of shops. It was a delightfully cold day which would be a crime to waste inside. Though most people wouldn't use the words 'delightful' and 'cold' in the same sentence, Alexandra did, She loved the freshly fallen snow and the crisp air. Raising the cup to take a sip of the steaming tea, she continued to make her plans for the day.
"Are you going? To Hogsmeade, I mean."
Theo's unexpected comment caused her to nearly choke on her tea as her eyebrows shot upwards in surprise. Of all the things she would've expected to come out of his mouth, fire breath and tadpoles included, that wasn't even anywhere on the list. She would've expected him to question why someone in their right minds would give up the warmth and comfort of Hogwarts to walk through the cold and snow, dodging possible snowballs in order to visit a bunch of shops and other such unimportant places, had the topic of Hogsmeade been brought up. Taking a long sip of tea, she pondered whether sleep deprivation had finally managed to drive him nuts.
"Yes, I am. Do you want to come along?" She replied after a few seconds. It would be amusing, if nothing else. Theo in Hogsmeade. She wasn't going to give up such a rare opportunity. Never having been one to eat too much, she had already finished her breakfast and stood up, glancing at Amelia. In her moment of surprise, she'd forgotten the other girl entirely. "What about you, Amelia? Would you like to join us?"
