Alex was already having a bad week, having been shown up in a match where not only did they lose, but everyone had to protect her during the match, she hated it, it was horrible to be the one getting defended, especially when that was her job. Sure there was another Beater, but her job was to be the one defending the others not having a Chaser get knocked off his broom and breaking his arm along with several ribs to stop herself from being hit by the Bludger. It was horrible and she hated it so much.
Now she was on hiatus from the team, another thing she hated, she was on the payroll still but what happens when she's out of practice and if her replacement was better? She'll be off the team regardless, and it gave her too much free time, she didn't know what to do with it all. She had things she liked but that got boring fairly quickly when she had absolutely nothing but them to do.
Worst was she knew there was a chance if people recognized her they might ask what was happening, she heard one report about her going on hiatus already this morning on the wireless and it just got annoying really. She wasn't even the star player, how slow of a news week was this? It was horrible and she hated it, even if it was just one report.
She sighed slowly and took some deep breathes, moving up from her couch as she headed to the kitchen in her flat, it was a neat little four room place, two bedrooms, one with an ensuite being hers, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen. Sure the kitchen was small and had one of those little window flaps but it was good to have it in its own little area. She of course had her ensuite enchanted, with a flip of the lock by using your wand on it, it turned into the broom cupboard with her uniforms and brooms inside, along with some basic quidditch equipment.
Once in the kitchen she poured herself some water to help her calm, before she heard a knock on her door, she didn't like the sound of that, she summoned her dressing gown to throw over herself, covering herself in case it was someone she didn't want, not many knew where she lived but...people could find you from such small things... She didn't want to be caught out in a tanktop and shorts by a camera.
She walked to the front door and unlocked it, before opening it.
"Hello?" She asked in a half tired, half bored tone, with a small hint of annoyance.

Sometimes, friends had to ignore the more gossiping parts to the Prophet and had to investigate for themselves about their own friends and their well beings. Said well being on this particular day was finding a shop that sold good mac and cheese alongside their meats. After scrolling through the different reviews on her mobile (something she hadn't anticipated in owning fully, but who cared now?), Addie was on her way to Alex's place.
The bag clearly had enough food for more than two, but Addie was fairly certain that Alex was hungry for good food and for company that didn't have to do anything with old hens clucking away at the latest bits. She whistled on the way there and once ascending to the location, knocked.
A basic 'hello' that was also a rough translation of 'go away' would surely slip along when Alex saw it was her former schoolmate. The door opened and Addie's grin was wide and warm for Alex, hoping iy was able to give some cheer.
"Hello, hello~! Special deliveries for one A. Cooper." The plastic bags were raised and shook in an offering sort of way. "Courtesy of one A. Delacroix, at your service."

Despite her rather poor mood from the start, she couldn't help but smile when she saw who it was at the door, and with food by the looks, that was a great thing to bring along to this all, and she was extremely happy her friend had brought it with her as she was in no mood to make her own for the time being, even if it was something to get rid of her boredom at the moment.
She flung her arms wide then wrapped them around Addie, pulling her into a tight hug and embrace, she was not seeming willing to let go of her friend either, maybe she might ease up a little bit she was firmly in the keep an arm around her friend mood right now, she wasn't even sure if she would be able to move her arms apart to let go of her even if she tried her best to do so.
"Its so good to see you." She said softly and buried her head into Addie's shoulder, eyes closing tight as she gave a relieved sigh at the situation she was now in. "I was really worried it was going to be more reporters or something annoying like that."
Keeping in the hug she shifted her head a little so she could see the bags. "What did you bring?"
