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!"
Alice was surprised at the blush that colored Lexi's cheeks when she mentioned she wished to pursue a career in politics. "Lexi you would be amazing at that!" Alice said with an affirmative nod. "A good, kind-hearted person with a head in the right place is just the thing Britain, France, or anywhere needs in their government." Alice certainly hoped that Lexi would stop being embarrassed about wanting to pursue politics. In Alice's opinion the government needed more people like Lexi and less people like the current Minister of Magic in Britain.

Alice gave Lexi a huge smile as she mentioned coming to the states. "I will expect a letter from you as soon as you find out that you are coming, and you will absolutely stay with me and my father, no ifs, ands, or buts about it!!!" The idea of Lexi coming and seeing her in the US just made her absolutely giddy.

Alice's eyes widened as Lexi listed all the things that made her feel old. "Oh my goodness Lexi you got 8 owls and can apparate?? That is amazing!!! I am so proud and excited for you!" Alice knew that she would be preparing for her own O.W.L.s this year, but she didn't really want to think about that. Although, Alice certainly hoped that she could at least do half as well as Lexi. "I hope I'll be able to do all of that by my 7th year!"

Alice couldn't help but chuckle as Lexi semi-scolded Salander for being late. "You know, we actually had one of our first real conversations when I was saving him from the blast-ended skrewts in Care of Magical Creatures," Alice said with a little laugh. She remembered it like yesterday...the sheer humor in someone as small and young as herself helping someone as older and bigger as Salander. "I'm glad to hear you're good influence is rubbing off on him," Alice said with a smile and a little wink.

Alice instinctively leaned forward as Lexi leaned in. OOOOOHHHHH a secret?? "Oh my gosh, I will be holding my breath until that letter comes!!" Ooh, Alice wished she would tell her now!!!
