AND SHE WAS GLARING! The boy said nothing, did nothing, and merely listened. Tsk. Not Professor Blue, it was Professor Cerulean, but that wasn't the point. His eyes widened as the high-pitch tone made its way out of Lexi. She was...going to explode any second now. And...Charms...well, he wasn't the best in that subject, actually, so he couldn't say anything about it.
He leaned back into his seat as the book was pushed to the floor. AND HE'S HAD ENOUGH.
Not because the book was now on the floor, but because she was calling herself a failure. A FAILURE! "STOP IT!" he exclaimed, as his eyebrows got together in a frown. His own book was soon forgotten on the table and he turned his whole body towards her. "You need to stop."
Simple as that.
But...you know WHY he was suddenly upset? "My Lady Awesome is NOT an utter failure," he started to say, the serious look on his face simply said that he meant it, "You are an amazing girl who has accomplished so much, Lexi Denver, and I don't think a couple exams results should make you feel less than anyone else," he was under OWLs stress as well, but he was always so collected, no? "That imaginary title you wear isn't given to anyone, you know?" Fletcher, the Original Sir Awesome was truly AWESOME. And James...well, James was someone to look up to, because he had no idea how the guy could do it all. Was Treyen Lockhart SHOUTING at her? So... dramatic... Lexi poked her bottom lip out and full on POUTED at him. She was a failure and the exam scores would PROVE it. Sliding out of the chair into the floor Lexi lay her cheek to the carpet and SIGHED.
" Treyen... these exam scores determine what we can do with our futures... When I fail them all... thebest I can hope for is to go into the Muggle world and work... and I have NO desire to do that. I... Oh this is just terrible." She wasn't going to CRY, but she was pouting and whimpering in the floor now. " |Oh... and I am not a Denver anymore. Not officially. I still have the name for now, but they disowned me and gave up custody of me. And... they told me what a disappointment I am to them. My own adoptive family gave up on me..." Still no tears. But she was flopping in the floor a bit trying to get comfy while she sulked in her pity pot.
