Alexa had made an effort before coming here. A real one, like her hair was brushed--how often did that happen??? She was wearing her best robes too because if you wanted to be taken seriously, you had to look your best with a woman like this. The Prefect Badge was still locked at the bottom of her trunk while she came to terms with things but outside of that she was perfectly put together and was hoping the Headmistress didn't have another Botanical Club Mumbo Jumbo that would have her crunched for time.

This was the part she never quite figured out. There was no door to knock on really. If she didn't go through the window and the woman wasn't here to invite her up...how in Merlin's beard was she meant to get her attention?

A patronus could work.......but she didn't proper know how to cast one. Felix could slip by the gargoyles but that wasn't how it worked either so she just kinda stood there kicking at the carpet and hoping something would give. Logically speaking, the Headmistress would have to leave her office at some point.

This was important and far-fetched and ludicrous and just plain...you don't wanna know, ahem.
