Lex glanced over at a First Year that had settled near her. Strange, it almost sounded like she was in disbelief that the term had come to an end. Technically it wasn't all that strange but for someone like her who'd been dying for it all to be over, it was all kinds of odd. "I can and honestly it took long enough."

But where were her manners?--What manners? Oh right. Heh. Still. "You must have fallen into a hole for half the term because I don't know you." Ever blunt this Gryffindor was. Lex hadn't actually run into the girl once during the entire term, some explanation had to be provided so she made one up for herself. "HI! Name's Lex, Alexa really but yeah, you can call me Lex, everyone else does." And on to the other matter. "Who are you?"

Lex grinned at the idea. "Yeah! It'll be epic, we could enchant the fort afterwards and share snacks and everything." It'd be the perfect end to the term and the perfect way to send off those who wouldn't be returning. One last night of just being a Gryffindor, eating and having fun with each other. "We can shove all the chairs and couches to the sides and corners, that way we'll have the whole floor to ourselves." Themselves and their blanket fort of epic proportions.

"I got a job at Gringotts, actually... so you'll have to come in and see me when you're in Diagon Alley."

Now, he did laugh when she said she was actually going to pay attention in class. "Good!" He grinned. "Helping someone study actually helps a lot, I think. Anya helped me all the time in my fifth year, and she did really well on her OWLs. Good luck on yours, though. I'm sure you'll do great. Especially if you actually listen in class." And then... she mentioned him being a prefect. His smile faltered a little but stayed in place. "I'm sure your next one will be even better. Just remember to get on his good side, yeah?"

Nail on the head then? She was thinking so at first because Jake genuinely seemed amused by the idea, maybe amused that she'd gotten it right on the first try? Lex was content to think so until he brought up the bank. Her eyes widened but so did her smile. "You did? Cooool! You get to work with all those Goblins! I don't usually go with Daddy to the bank but I'll make him take me so for you." It'd be kinda weird seeing Jake working and in such a familiar place nonetheless but at the same time it'd be comforting. He wasn't coming back next year but he wouldn't be far away either.

About the study she just kinda nodded. "Yeah, I'm gonna do studying with Lottie because she knows how and Cassia's gonna help me too like I helped her this year." It'd just be different. Before, she didn't need to know the answers, she only needed to grill Cassia and make sure she did. This was extra work, the tedious kind. Lex nearly rolled her yes at the thought of the next prefect being better than Jake. "Yeah right. What if he's an idiot? What if he doesn't know what he's doing--what if he tries ratting me out?? You know how much trouble I could get in for punching a prefect??" She'd never thought about it before now but if the next one was proper and actually tried enforcing stuff...she'd be in the dungeons more often than she ought.

Lex could see that Abby was genuinely happy for the cauldron cake and it made it a little easier for her to give it away. Again, the thought of a bag full of chocolate frogs helped. "No problem." Sorta. Not a real problem anyway. "Yeah, I have loads of other stuff, have to maintain variety when it comes to this kind of stuff. Never got to nab anything from the kitchen before I came though." Sadly enough.

And considering her proximity to Jake she heard that. Last time she'd share with the Fairy. Yup. Mhm. Hope she enjoyed the cauldron cake, it'd be the last.

And with that, she slid into an empty space at the Lion table. "As a responsible adult I feel compelled to tell you that sugar will spoil your appetite," there was a but implied there, but it went without saying. Food often took a while, especially if Annie was otherwise preoccupied by some of the more... jovial... members of staff.

Lex beamed at the Professor when she slid in among the other lions. This was a big thing. It wasn't every feast that she stopped by first--thank Merlin it wasn't to deliver bad news. The irony in that would have been too hard to overlook. She moved her hand around in her candy bag that had an undetectable expansion charm on it allowing her entire arm access into the bag and fished out a sugar quill. "Here you go!".........Responsible adult...warning about sugar spoiling appetites..."That's fine, I've got something like a bottomeless pit of a stomach, half the house does. A little sugar won't hurt." Seriously, had the woman ever seen Alice eating--had she ever seen Penelope??? Mer-lin!!

....

And the feast??? Lex STARED up at the staff table, unable to believe it for a moment but ultimately happy the food was HERE! She heard the Headmistress basically write off all the other houses, before turning to her Head of House. "That's offensive. We already know we're not Hufflepuff and didn't win anything." No need to go saying it like that. Then they said she was rude. She couldn't see it. The holding off on sugar was discarded as she ate the last of her chocolate frog and grabbed for a chicken leg.
