Alyx approached Hagrid's hut with confidence, if any of the staff or "adults" she knew would be sympathetic to her cause it'd be Hagrid. For his size one might think that Alyx'd be intimidated since she was a tiny creature herself, but Hagrid was much like a big teddybear and she knew it, and she liked him for it.
Her hand reached out and tapped three times on his door.

Hagrid came to the door hiding his newest pet in a covered basket. "I'm comin' 'ang on" He opened the door and saw Alyxandria. " 'ello Alyx, whaddya doin' 'er today?" He looked about to see if she had any friends with her today, " 'ers Sin? Ain't he wit' ya?" He was waiting to see if the boy was getting into his pumpkins again but didn't see any sign of her partner in crime.

Alyx smiled and shook her head, but then her features turned serious, "Hagrid I've a serious problem.." worry was traced all throughout her face as she added to the picture by biting her lip. "I...I was hoping you could help me." she said entreatingly.

"A problem? Are yeh alrigh'?" He opened his door wider to let the girl in, if she was in trouble of some kind he felt bad and wanted to help. Hagrid frowned with concern and worry. He wondered if it had something to do with Sin, since he wasn't with her. They were usually together getting into some kind of mischief. He wondered if the boy had been hurt or something.

For once it had nothing to do with Sin, " It's about the Forbidden forest." as she said this her eyes lowered along with her voice, in part it was reverence to the deceased student, and in part it was because she knew she shouldn'tve been going in the forbidden forest in the first place, but she had found something there that she now couldn't just abandon, and Hagrid was just the man to help her, she knew he would.

"Wha' about it? Yer not supposed to go there yeh know. Nuthin there fer ya to see anyways. It's dangerous." Dumbledore had made it very clear that no students were allowed in the Forest, especially now that a student had died there. And Hagrid remembered finding the body and frowned. "Nope nuthin to see there."

"I'm afraid that isn't true Hagrid." she said shaking her head her soft curls bouncing with the motion, "There is something to see...something you need to see...to help..." she bit her inner lip, "I know it's forbidden now...I mean really forbidden and we're not allowed without staff or adults, but you're an adult...will you come with me?"

"No Alyx, my instructions were 'ery clear from Dumbledore. No students in the Forest, no 'xceptions. Not even with staff, there's dark wizards at work 'ere Alyx and I'll not 'ave yeh gettin' killed too. Nope there's nuttin' to see in the Forest for yeh. I think you 'ave confused the instructions for Hogsmede for the Forest. Nope, no exceptions." Hagrid shook his head venomously.

"But Hagrid-" he was cutting her off with every sentence, "Hagrid please-"
When finally he was done she took a breath, "You have to come, at least this once. It's important and if you're with me I'll be safe surely. It's a matter of life and death. Please Hagrid, please come."
Finally that dangerous spark of determination lit in her eyes, the one that said either he go with her into the forest or she'd continue to go alone.

Hagrid frowned as he saw a look that said she wasn't listening to him and wouldn't do what she was told no matter what he said. But the body of the girl still haunted his own thoughts and he didn't want to be the one to find Alyx's body too. "Alyx, even I would be able to protect you against a dark wizard if they got a min' to kill. 'ow 'bout yeh tell me what is so important first. Maybe I can 'elp." Under no circumstances was he letting that girl in the forest and if that meant he called Dumbledore then he would. He was faithful to Dumbledore before all else, and if Dumbledore had said no execeptions then he would make sure of it.

She saw it in his eyes more than anything else, he was looking for anyway to keep her from going there and she didn't care that there were dark wizards, she was by no means suicidal and she didn't really think she could fight off a dark wizard if they wanted to kill her, she'd try, and she knew she'd probably fail, but at the same time it wasn't in her to just let a creature suffer, and this was something she had to see to personally, she wanted...or at least would have felt safer if Hagrid was with her, but he didn't look like he was willing to put her in danger, she could adore him for that, but it didn't mean she'd just give up.
Her arms crossed over her chest and she looked to the side, she didn't like this.
"I'd have to go with you, he wouldn't trust you unless I was with you."

"I'm sorry Alyx, but I can't let yeh go in there. No exceptions. Either yeh trust me with it, or yeh go back to the castle empty 'anded. I won't be findin' another dead body in the Forest if I can 'elp it. And I won't disobey an order like that from Dumbledore, No excpetions." He repeated that last just for emphasis, and shook his head emphatically in a refusing gesture.

" I understand Hagrid." she said and she realized something in his words, and felt sorry for the man," I didn't realize you were the one to find her..." she said softly.
"I'm sorry Hagrid, truly sorry."

"If there's anythin' else I can 'elp yeh with I can try but otherwise yeh should be gettin' back to the castle before the sun goes down. It's not good to be out past dark anymore." He didn't want to talk about the body, and he didn't want to find another one. He was still near the door and he opened it for her, so that she knew that she really should be getting back before the sun went down. It was not safe anymore, not for anyone anymore.

Alyx went to the door and paused, she would do something monumentally stupid going back into that forest on her own...but maybe...she could send Hagrid, still if Lasko didn't know Hagrid or didn't get off to the right foot then there would be trouble and Lasko would be afraid. She wished she did trust Hagrid enough to let him go but she didn't trust anybody.
She turned however and hugged his large frame, he was a gentle giant and he was always gentle with her. They shared a deep love for creatures and she often came by to talk about them. Of course she didn't meet him that way...no it was as he said with Sin and her in the pumpkin patch, but after a while their mutual love for animals won out. She could carry a good deal of sympathy for him too especially if he had found that girl.
"Sorry Hagrid." she was saying sorry for a couple of reasons. Sorry he had found that girl. Sorry she had bothered him. Sorry that she would worry him, and sorry that she would probably go back.
She squeezed once and then took off back towards the castle.

Hagrid took her apology as a sign that she'd given up on her fool notions of going into the forest. And he shook his head as he closed the door to his hut. Then he moved back to free his new pet knarl from the basket he'd put it in earlier. "Well 'elo there Spot, yeh can come out now."

But Hagrid was wrong, she wasn't ready to give Lasko up. Depressed she made her way back to the castle in a slow trod of unhappiness.
Perhaps it was time she shared her secret with Sin...maybe he would go with her, she'd feel safer then too...but she didn't want to endanger him. Either way she had a lot to think about and not much time to do it in.
