There was only one plain exception to this, that being Lottie but even the girl had come to accept Hufflepuff so not even she was that bad.
There were all these teachers that died within the walls of the castle. She remembered hearing that this was one of the safest places to be but after seeing everything she had, there was little to convince her of this. Granted, she hadn't died yet but she wasn't about to thank the castle for that, not when it seemingly housed all the dangers. "Good idea. It might have gone back up there to look at the plaque again like it was when we saw it." Now the question was where to find the stairs leading that way. These stairs here only took them down from this point.
Lex twisted a few times, trying to catch her bearings in the dimly lit corridor before coming to the conclusion, it was further down that way. She took a step in that direction trusting Mikey to follow suit.
Somehow, this conversation had gone really sentimental without her knowing how...or why. After last term, she was wary of anything even closely related to this kind of thing. There may not have been a reason to be cautious but that didn't make anything better. A certain level of detachment and disinterest were both necessary in situations like these and his next question wasn't helping either. So this was what it was like to be put on the spot...Merlin.
In situations like these it was usually good going with honesty so....."I....dunno that it means anything." She started in a smaller voice than usual. She didn't wanna hurt his feelings or anything but at the same time, "Thing is...I'm not keen on getting in on all that relationship stuff everyone else is in. It's," Horrible? Terrifying? Rubbish? Restrictive? Destructive? Set to blow up in her face?, "not something I've ever actually thought of or actively wanted." Relationships were high on her list of 'NO'. They had always been but after last term, they might have taken the top spot.
He figured she was talking about Hufflepuff and he was almost tempted to argue that as well. He didn't believe that Huffies were just the leftovers. How could he when his mother had been one and she was certainly not one would call a leftover, especially to her face. But instead he just merely nodded his head, that was an argument that could probably go on for a while.
Again he didn't say anything just merely changed direction with her and headed away from the statue towards the stairs that were supposed to lead them up to the Astronomy Tower.
Besides his mind was too busy on what had just happened and the fact that Lex was taking an awfully long time to answer his question. Which in his opinion did not bode well for him at all.
And she proved it seconds later when she spoke and while Michael was pretty much expecting it, she was two years older than he was and she had never showed any sort of interest in him, hearing her say the words hurt nonetheless.
He opened his mouth a couple of times trying to find some words that wouldn't make him look like a fool in front of her, but nothing came to mind. So he closed his mouth and stopped walking. "I see." He murmured finally. He wanted to ask her why she kissed him then, but decided it really didn't matter.
"I think I'm just gonna head back to the common room." He would take his chances with getting caught, because right now he needed to be far away from the older girl.
At least for a little while.
