Alex was eating his way through a filet, complaining internally that it wasn't to the temperature that he desired. He noticed a student casting magic, and just chuckled remembering when he was a student at Hogwarts. He saw Felix pick up the goblet and drink it himself, and tilted his head of confusion. "Her older brother probably taught her how to do that.." Alex chuckled to himself again as he continued eating his steak. Alex was nervous though, since the drastic loss in professors Alex is now teaching more than one class and is the head of the Slytherin House. The Slytherin students didn't look all that bad this year, though he did notice that a Weasley was placed into Slytherin this year, but at least from what he could see, she was making friends with some other students already. Alex looked over at Emaleigh, seeing her amusement towards Felix confiscating Addison's drink. He was fixing up to say something, until it was interrupted by Felix confronting them and explaining his concerns about the first-years. He listens to Emaleigh's remark to it then adds in, "I guess I can be a little more responsible this year."
After the Headmaster left, Emaleigh asked Alexander what classes he'll be teaching this year. "Potions and Defense against the Dark Arts." Alex states exchanging eye contact with Emaleigh. She then put her hair behind her ear and gave off this just beautiful smile, Alex began to just stare like the whole world was slowing down, but snapped out of it. "Did she see that?" Alex silently thought in his head. Alex began to brainstorm some creative ways as to how he will start off his lessons for the year, while continuing to observe the new student's behavior around the dining hall.
