"It's for the best you don't Professor." So yeah, he could pretend he didn't hear her. It would work out for her in the end. If he didn't know, he couldn't mention it to the Headmistress OR Professor Thompson and no one would get in trouble for this eternal winter making them survivors. "I don't suggest you questioning any food I may offer you when it hits April or May thereabout." Term was still a long way from ending but she figured they'd start running low by then.

Lex would be ready for this.

As for the outside of his office...."No...but now I get the feeling I should take a look. If it's like I think, you'll have a glitter infestation. I can take care of that for you." Thanks to Abbi she'd become skilled at glitter removal. Lex remembered the days Abbi used to bound into their dorm covered in glitter with proclamations that she was a fairy. It was very patience building if nothing else. Of all the things to be gotten from what she said, he was going to cling to the ex-prefect part? Seriously Professor? "She hasn't told you because I haven't gone to her office to turn in my badge yet. Too much to do and I keep forgetting in the middle of it all." The Professor may have thought there was no reasoning behind it but he hadn't been in Collarbin's office with her, or the class for that mater. "Let's just say Professor Culloden has helped me see that Gryffindor deserves an actual Prefect." Like the ones the handbook described. Evidently she fell short.

That was a good enough explanation yes? Now about that permission slip before you fully change your mind? Hmm?

Make no mistake, Lex wanted to ask what if said person didn't understand such logical terminology given her stark belief in the illogical and unproven and perhaps if she was still 11...maybe 12 she would have, but now she knew that anyone would see she was asking what if the woman was too dumb to get it and THAT never won you favours, whether you were right or wrong. Had to maintain a respectful tone regardless so she simply nodded. "Duly noted." The note was considered too, proof he'd spoken to her...yeah...that sort of thing and she wouldn't have minded at all....until he said that.

Don't dwell on the truthfulness of your actions and words, but the unintentional consequences of the truth perhaps? That sounded suspiciously like 'you didn't do anything wrong but I need you to apologize to nurse a grown woman's ego.

Alexa raised an eyebrow at the Professor. "...You want me to apologize because she didn't understand?" She asked doubtfully. It wasn't that she was giving him cheek, but more that she was trying to understand. Legit.

Yep. Definitely needed to send Javy a little memo to keep an extra eye on his critters.....and made a mental note to not only NOT question any food she may offer him, but also to just not accept it. Maybe Cecelia had it right, only eating things that she prepared herself or had overseen the making of. Hogwarts was...slightly terrifying that way. "Duly noted," he confirmed.

She, wait what? Miss Cambridge was oozing confidence over glitter. Giggling galaxies this was...unsettling? Only as to why it was so unsettling was not something he fully understood why. "You, a glitter expert?" he snorted quietly while trying not to laugh. "Forgive me, Miss Cambridge, but you just never seemed the glittery type." Learn something new every day. "I had been hoping that those responsibly would come and clean up their own mess, but seeing as term will be drawing to a close and I would rather not have frozen specks of glitter all over...if you wish to do some clean up there I would certainly not object. Gather together a little army for your cleaning purposes if you must, General Cambridge," he concluded, complete with a proper salute.

But then the sprightly conversation turned sour when he heard what the prefect had to say next. Not only that a professor had seemingly come hard on her enough to make her believe that she was undeserving of the badge enough that she had to turn it in of her own accord. There were a few things wrong with this picture. Well, more than a few, and he was somewhat selfishly considering one point primarily in his brain at the moment and that thought was that Miss Cambridge was implying that he, Airey Flamsteed, was wrong about her. That thinking she should be selected as a prefect was a smart selection. So he was displeased that the young lady in front of him was essentially telling him that he was wrong.

"I do not know what was said, nor do I need to know the details," he replied calmly. No, seriously, there had been enough of she-said, he-said today. "But what disappoints me most, Miss Cambridge, is how you are selling your talents short. You represent what muggles would refer to as a Cinderfella story." Was that right? It sounded something like that anyway. "Are you perfect? No. But who is a perfect. Well, minus Sir Patrick Stewart and Neil deGrasse Tyson...but that isn't the point. The point is, Miss Cambridge, that you embody what is means to be Gryffindor in more ways than you realize. I know about what happened your first year, and I wish to Merlin that professors wouldn't have given up on me when I went through a similar thing as a student. Professor Bentley continued to see your potential, as did the Headmistress. You were given that badge and lead Gryffindor without a partner. You, all the while remaining true to yourself, earned the chance to show that you are so much more than a first year who made a mistake. You show younger students, Gryffindor and not, that just because you may make mistakes doesn't mean that it is over. Through hard work and truth of self you can make a name for yourself and be inspiring." Don't go telling him he is wrong now, Miss Cambridge. HE WAS RIGHT! "You have all the authority right here," he said, poking her forehead with his finger. "You just need to recognize that and not let others tell you otherwise."

He had entirely forgotten about his window opening side quest now, by the way, but with the conversation growing long they may not need to open it anyway as the mess of a snack was cooling just fine.

"Misinterpreted," he correctly. It was a nicer sounding word. "Misinterpreted which then lead to negative thoughts which lead to mild emotional suffering. To paraphrase the Jedi just a smidgen." See, this is what happens when one defends something without the scientific fact behind it. Becomes an emotional game, which is precisely why he preferred to let his head lead his actions. He himself had told the woman that he did not agree nor particularly like astrology point blank in his office. "A difference of opinion is nothing to be sorry about, but some cannot handle the debate."
