It is very important!
Of course this was Aquila not considering that Hogwarts has a fully stocked kitchen and fantastic elves to feed them when they get hungry. NO—this was her believing Lex that they will STARVE if she doesn’t stock up on food. Or rather candy. Food and candy being interchangeable in her head apparently.
“Oh! Oh! Stock up on candy yes we must!” she breathed as she scribbled madly into her little notebook. “Withdrawals are bad--” she was mumbling!writing when she suddenly looked up “Uhm... Lex, I thought we’re going to starve without candy, and... and we must save up on candy and and.... why are we going to Gringotts?” she was doing that squirmy, confused face whenever she has to count MONEY. Money confuses poor Aquila.
Lex beamed when she saw the girl frantically taking notes. It was this kind of stuff that happened to be the difference between life and death! That being the case, Aquila would survive because she was taking Lex's advice seriously and having it scribbled so she could revise later on. Smart girl. She earned her keep in Ravenclaw.
Umm...except now Lex had no idea what she was talking about.
She listened, trying to answer the girl's concerns.
"Not starve, no, starving is what we do while we wait on the Headmistress' speech at the start and end of term; you know, the one we all pretend to listen to." There wasn't a soul at Hogwarts who could convince her that they actually
listened. "We'd just go through withdrawal, which as you said, is bad." Good she was getting it.
Just...
"Er...we won't be going to Gringotts at all. Why would you think that--you don't have that scribbled in your notes do you??"
