It's time to begin, isn't it?

Alice rolled her eyes in annoyance at what this conversation has escalated to. And the suggestion that Keith and her could be a good couple was simply ridiculous. No, that would certainly never work out. Besides, her and Keith were usually, except at this moment, good friends and they get along well. Why on earth would you ruin that with a date? The point was, she had her eyes on someone else and Keith... well she wasn't completely sure about him but some girl was bound to catch his fancy by this point,

"Alright now, that's enough" Alice said with a demanding tone, clearly expecting them to calm down and behave properly. "Now I was told to show you around the hospital wing as well. The professors have all agreed that it's important for you to know where it is, just in case of any emergency. If you ever feel ill, I suggest you just come in and consult with the nurses. They are all very pleasant." she said and started walking up the stairs as they moved to the right floor. "Come along, it's just on the first floor" she explained. The hospital wing would be her last stop as her guide and after that Henri would be in Keith's hands. This worried her a bit. In the end, Alice was responsible for her. At least during the first few weeks of her stay here.

"After we are done, Keith will take you to the Ravenclaw common room and show you around. He would be delighted to be your guide, wouldn't you Keith?" she asked with a soft smile on her lips and she shot him a glare. If something goes wrong, her reputation will be on the line here and it was her job to keep this girl out of trouble. Although Alice still didn't have a clear estimate of how difficult that would be. Maybe Henri did not seem like the student of the month type, but surely she would stay still for the first few weeks.

Keith responded just as she expected any boy who had been involved in a sexual hypothetical situation - defensively. For the gender that seemed to love to invent their own hypotheticals, they hated to have them thrust upon them. She smirked, responding, "Already harassing the new kid. Dear me, I must have struck a nerve. Or excited one." Alice tried silencing them, but Henri always had the last word. She winked again, before hissing at him. "Just blame it on the hormones."

She was to be shown the hospital wing. Joy. "Why didn't we stop there before we got here," she said, wrinkling her nose. Salem had not had nearly as many flights of stairs as Hogwarts. Henri hated the fact that her laziness would be disrupted daily by the need to go downstairs and eat. It was so inconvenient.

She sighed, though, resigned to allowing them their control on this first day. She had already begun to exercise her control on Alice, and if she continued on in this subtle tone, perhaps she could secure it before their return. She had done much more with much less time before.
