And Charlie was relieved that now not all of her friends would be abandoning her when it came to her seventh year. "How come?" Because surely the pets would get on - no? They should, Charlie thought. "That's so cute. He must've liked the view from outside the window." You know, nice house, nice girl, new family for him? Totally.
Charlie's voice had fallen to almost a whisper due to such a topic. She hadn't even known the man but felt as though she should personally grieve for walking on his grass, or something. "Your task went well, though, right?" You know, the herbology and potions one that she'd watched. It had seemed alright. They'd saved the elf, after all. Maybe Durmstrang or the French school would get into trouble and Charlie could just stay safe a Hogwarts? After Lex's explanation, she was glad she hadn't been chosen to compete - knowing her luck, she'd end up seriously injured or something. If it had been panels and questions and buzzers like she'd imagined... surely that would be much safer?
"Professor Knox? So Professor Fuller's new?" Not to her, but to the school in general. She was so confused when people talked about past people. Old students, old professors. People should have the same knowledge as her. It would save some understanding. "What was the point in the detention, then?" You know, if the teacher had just wanted it to be over as much as the student? If Charlie was ever a teacher, she could see detentions and punishments as something she avoided as much as she did now that she was a student.
Ravenclaw, huh? "I guess there's got to be some reason for me to be there." Because she still didn't feel like she'd belonged, although throwaway comments like this and the Charms professor's certainly made her feel a lot better about it, and a lot less lonely in her own Common Room. "Sure," Charlie smiled, letting the owl fly through the window and reaching to pick up her bag from where she'd left it on the disgusting floor. Ew. She wrinkled her nose as she regretted the depression, and made a mental note to thoroughly clean it later. For now, Tergo had to do. "I barely see my mums side, so yes, it was really nice. Annoying family I can understand, though." Quick wave to the flying bird and the letter for her father. "It sounds exciting!" And she would love to go someday. Officially on her 'places to go' list.
Charlie was asking for a reason, a fair question considering the statement.
"As much as I'd love to think my kneazle plays nicely with others, he doesn't. He's not a fan of competition when it comes to attention and I have a tendency gush over things even when he's there." It was a little hard to explain. That was the easiest way she could think to get it out. Lex shrugged, her kneazle was weird.
"And he must have liked the view, he got comfy almost instantly, scared my step-mum too so that was a plus." It was after seeing his dislike for the woman that she became adamant he had to stay.
Her task? Ah yes, she remembered that. It'd been epic fun. Lex gave a firm nod and a grin.
"It did, we bested the man eating plant, shame I didn't get a sapling or something but I'll keep trying til I do." Truthfully it wasn't that hard, challenging and thrilling yes but certainly nothing she would have classified as life threatening.
Charlie's next question almost had her facepalming. Riiiight she was new and didn't know these things.
"Yup, he only just got here. Last year we had a woman named Ivy Knox, bloody mean if you ask me. She hardly ever smiled unless she was torturing you." Which totally backfired on her might we add. Alexa shrugged at her question.
"I dunno. It happens often. I get kicked out of detention. I dunno why she kicked me out though. I thought we were having fun." More like Lex talking nonstop and driving the woman up the wall with all her questions and remarks about ice-cream. Eh, details details.
"O'course there's a reason. The sorting hat knows what it's doing, even if we don't agree at first." Truth. Yup. She was a Gryffindor through and through. At first she wanted to argue this but now she wouldn't dream of it. And she'd visited her mum's side.
"I don't see my mum's side very often anymore...hardly actually." Kinda sad...kinda. They didn't like her very much anyway.
"It WAS exciting but we never got to see a yeti." Disappointing. Mhm.
