Lex unholstered her wand and summoned her pink Converse to her and put them on quickly. Heheh. That was epic. Perhaps Glisseo on the Entrance Hall WOULD be worth the trouble. Mhm.
Alice shifted her gaze down for a moment, not sure whether or not she should be dumping this on Lexi, but if anyone in this entire school understood it was her.
"My mother sent me a letter asking me to send her some of her things via the owl she sent me. No explanation, just that she needed them and to do it as quickly as possible."
Alice let out a sigh, the emotions she was feeling still overlapping between sad, angry, hurt, and numb.
"So, I got the box of things from my dad and I took them out by the lake and burnt them all. They're now nothing more than a crumpled pile of ash."
Alice's face was blank when she finished. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the small pile of ashes and set it on the little bench space between her and Lexi.
