Resigning herself to her fate, Alex decided that the best last ditch effort she had would to be to try to win Sato's sympathy. Maybe that could work, but it clearly wasn't working on Gray. "That's right, Danielle.. don't you listen when nan-nan tells you that proper young ladies don't speak that way?" she reminded her cousin smugly, cracking a little smile despite herself.

Her smug smile disappeared, however, when Amelia told them what their punishment would be. "That's outrageous!" the taller girl protested, looking around frantically. They really had made quite a little mess. No magic? She was just supposed to get down and scrub or something, like some common muggle? No thanks. She would have to get Charlie to slip her wand to her after classes the next day or something. It wouldn't be as good as her own, but it would do.

Crossing her arms over her chest and looking quite like an overgrown child who hadn't gotten her way, Alex pouted. "I don't know how to do that. I've only ever used magic, I-- I just couldn't."
