"Do you have any ideas to what you might want to do after Hogwarts?" Alice knew that Lexi was probably just trying to figure out how to handle this year, and that trying to tackle life after Hogwarts would just be overkill. After all a person could go crazy trying to think about all of that at once! "I think just going with it is the best option," Alice said with a supportive nod. "You can't control everything, so might as well just let whatever force of nature there is decide for you."
Alice blushed slightly at the compliment from Lexi. She had to admit that she didn't really feel like she looked all that little anymore. The childish features that she once had were gone, and all Alice could think about when she looked in the mirror was that she looked like...well...a woman. "I feel so old," Alice said with a little smile. "I look at pictures at Hogwarts from my first year and I just think where did that go? And who is that girl in those pictures?" Alice was sure that Lexi felt the same way, or at least had felt similarly herself.
Alice couldn't help but feel herself get all excited again after the slightly somber mood that had come with the topic just seconds ago. She was practically glowing when she found out that Salander and her were still together, even if they had separated for a little while. "I am just so happy for you two. Honestly I can't think of two people that deserve it more. Is Salander here by any chance? It has been ages since I have seen him!" Alice was sure Salander looked different than she remembered him. After all Alice had seen Lexi much more than she had seen Salander last term, and even Lexi looked different to her!
Alice admired Lexi as she twirled, giving her a little clap before accepting Lexi's hands back into her own. "I am doing well! I really didn't want to have to leave Hogwarts, but I just couldn't bare leaving my dad home by himself given the situation..." Alice said with a little wave of the hand. Lexi was her confidant, so she already knew all about it. No need to rehash old stories. "So, I've transfered to a nice wizarding school back in the states, and my dad moved closer by and opened up another library. He seems happy, and I'm happy, but I do miss you and Hogwarts so much."
She couldn't help but laugh. It was TRUE. All the hormones and emotions flowing through the seventh years was sure to palpable once they boarded that train for the last time. Sheesh. She was not sure she was mentally prepared for this.
...
Smirking slightly Lexi nodded her head and then shrugged a little as well. "
I thought I did. I was planning to go to WADA and study drama, but then I got to thinking about things... and well I think I might quite like to get into politics. Wizarding politics of course. I would love to do some good for the Wizarding world here in Britain... or in France... or the states," she said with a little blush coloring her cheeks. She was sure people would laugh at her when she admitted she was interested in politics, but it was the truth. She was indeed interested. Shrugging once more she glanced out through the crowd in search of Sal's badge... his face... SAL WHERE ARE YOU?!
Sighing just a slight little bitty sigh she smiled once more and looked to Alice. Laughing out loud she shook her head. "
YOU feel old? I am officially an adult now. I passed with 8 OWLs last term... I can apparate now... and I have my own home. It's surreal when I look back and see pictures from so long ago. It's like... a totally different person. Again."
OH. Hehe. "
I have just been looking for him actually. I thought we had left at the same time, but I suppose not. Or he has found a first year to help with a trunk or sommat. It's ridiculous really. I was always the one helping first years and now he has taken the role while I try to keep to the yearbook offices at school." SNORTSSS!
Again; Enough about Lexi!
Squeezing Alice's hands gently she smiled brightly. "
You have no idea how happy that makes me, Alice. REally. It's amazing. You and your father deserve to be happy! If there is ever anything I can do to help with ANYTHING you let me know, okay. As soon as this term ends I am heading out to see the world and America is definitely one of the places I will be stopping. So I will see you soon. I promise that." She WAS ecstatic to know that Alice and her father had found some sense of peace after all the trials and tribulations.
Looking around she leaned in a little closer and whispered, "
I have some big news, but it's not the time to tell you. Expect a letter from me very soon, though. I will explain everything. It's amazing, it is!"
