Was she late?

YUP. Reeeeally late and she'd have liked to blame someone else or even her kneazle but really she'd just stopped by the kitchen first. It wasn't for anything heavy, just a drink but it still slowed her down...because she might have stopped to have a word with the House elves too. Lovely little creatures they were, especially when they started offering cookies. She did like cookies.

But of course now she was here to work and could see that some had already gotten started. Oh Merlin just how late WAS she? Lex stood there for a moment, not sure what activity she was meant to join--hang on, this was heavy duty kinda work. It made sense for the Professor to have mentioned the potion now and the Gryffindor fished around in her robe until she'd found hers. There was a quick gulp and a moment to get over the dizzy feeling before she proceeded to have another look around.

CASSIA!!

Well that settled that. Lex walked over to the group with planks, not thinking to question it, she stood next to the bestie and looked around with a wide grin. "SO. What're we doing and how can I help?"
