She had already handed her plate, bowl and her cups to Aidan after getting them nicely cleaned up. They were safer with him. Now, with a tummy FULL of ice-cream she dragged herself up the seven flights of stairs, hardly looking at anything or anyone and made her way to the Fat Lady's portrait. Yeah she knew the password, she just said it, duh.

Lex stepped back and watched it swing open but just as she was about to crawl through the saw the most ridiculous thing

"What the kneazle...?" She muttered to herself. When the heck had these gotten here??

1 knut? She raised an eyebrow at the ruuuuude thing before her. She had to pay to go inside??? But...but...her galleons were already booked. She and Aidan made plans to stock up on things in Hogsmeade, paying every time she entered (clearly this wouldn't disappear forever once it was handed a knut) would make that VERY HARD. This was not the right time. She wanted to sleep and all her money was in her trunk. Oh yeahhhh the trunk was IN the bloody Common Room--AndSoWasHerKneazle!!!!

O___O

Not again!

She kicked at the turnstile, hoping it would take the hint. "I don't have any knuts on me, do you take IOUs or something?" It didn't budge even a bit. This got her grumbling. Worst. Night. EVER.
