I really shouldn't be here… PV Finished

Alexa looked up and smiled at her new friend and he held out his hand to help her up. "I think that would be great," she said in response to his request to walk to the Great Hall together for dinner. She took his hand and he pulled her upright, and then she instantly let go, slightly embarrassed, her palm feeling warm.

She grinned over at Henry as he led her out of the dungeon (she definitely had no idea where they were!) and up into the more spacious area of the small hall, right ahead of the Great Hall. As they passed through the doors, she touched Henry's arm lightly. "Thanks for talking with me today Henry. It's good to be your friend," she said over the babble of voices in the Hall. "I'll see you soon for that chess game," she promised, then left his side, making her way over to the Hufflepuff table. She scanned the table for friends, but saw no one at the moment that she was really familiar with, so she sat a little bit off by herself, and enjoyed her meal, thinking of Henry.
