One of her little lions actually making there way over to her--just look how happy the kid was, man, this was priceless; made all that last minute organizing worth it it.
"Wicked awesome decorations." She replied, grinning as she fis tbumped the Firstie. When was the last time the Great Hall sported Gryffindor scarlet and gold? Proud colours for a proud moment and they OWNED this year.
"I'm glad the hat put you where it did." And yes, she might have messed with her hair a bit, sorry if you spent time on it, kay? But this one was cute, and a trooper at that. Sticking around when Lex got overly demanding.
"You proved you've got the stuff."
Funny how there were meant to be three of them but she only really knew this one. The other was a claw which sucked all the interest instantly and the one that was meant to be a lion....she didn't know, never really spoke to her, 'cept at the other feast where the girl wasn't much up for talking.
"Y'think you settled in fine this last year?" Quote:

Not as much as others, but still. Team effort. It was something to be proud of. At least her house had finally won something during her time here.
"We rock." And she lifted her hand for a high five from the prefect. Don't leave us hanging.
It's funny how the smallest of gestures could make you realize JUST how much you were going to miss someone. Like Penelope's high five that Lex
did meet. It was so simple but so familiar. Alexa had never known Gryffindor without knowing Penelope and it was strange to think that she wouldn't be there when the term rolled in next year.The thought almost had her scowling but she had to remember the great victory they'd won and that Penelope was off to bigger and better things.
"I kept saying it was the year of the lion but no one believed me." Seeing the decorations in the Great Hall now they had no choice but to.
"It was awesome being on a quidditch team with you," With all of them that had gone on really,
"and sharing a house. Don't think I've ever said it before but didn't want you leaving without knowing." They had fun. Did she remember them all sneaking into the Prefect Compartment that one year?
"Plans for after this place?" What were they?

And that made him very, very sad. Could they just get the speach over with so that he could make his delivery and then finally eat and most of all CELEBRATE!
Thankfully talking to Bay had helped ease him up a bit, so he was finally able to focus at leat a little bit on their victory! "Yeah, I can't believe it," he smiled weakly. "We really did it."
And what was this?
For a moment Lex knelt on her seat and eye balled the little lion. Wasn't he looking at the same colours she was? Didn't he remember all the last minute work they put into it? Finally, she tilted her head and fixed him with a solid, curious look.
"You sound like a kicked puppy and you look like one too. What happened?" And did she really want to know. This end of term would be tainted for her the moment she went to the snake table, did she
really want more bad news before then?
Decisions.
"But I don't see what's not to believe, we're awesome. The Hall should look like this every year." But how would she know? She'd be leaving soon enough.

So, a smile was given to Lex as she sat across from Tag, he also got a smile, of course.
She'd only just been grilling Zander when a flash of yellow walked by her--another flash because there were already a few invaders. In the spirit of the end of term feast and their great victory she didn't tell them to shove off but the girl had her limits. One could only have so many Hufflepuffs in one place, y'kno--
"Lottie!" So then, not a Hufflepuff at all. False alarm, limit not reached and Lex grinned at her bestie.
"A nice change from the yellow and black banners every year, eh?" Lottie, she was sure, could appreciate this change as much as they did.
She didn't bother asking what brought her to the lion table for the fact she didn't care so long as she was staying and because evident the other 1/4 of her reason was sitting across from her already making his own conversation. Yes, 1/4, we're good at math and Lex was obviously the 3/4. DUH.
"Not a drop of snow. We're getting out of here tomorrow and I'll never be happier. Ugh. When's the last time we saw the outside?" The fact she couldn't remember said it had been too long.

Jasmine was hoping that she would get a chance to say goodbye to most of her friends before the feast was over so she kept on the lookout.
Oh but this was new. They didn't usually have Ravenclaws, not unless you counted Dora that came looking for Alice...but there was no Alice anymore. Sad thought really. It was a wonder she made it through the term without Alice and how she would di it again next term. Lex grinned at the Ravenclaw friend she'd made. For a girl who disliked that lot, she had a few of them.
"We've decided we'll be all over the place, trying to see what we can but I'll let you know more after it happens." Very excited she was, could Jasmine tell??
"And don't forgot we've got that date for pygmy puff shopping. I'll be sure to leave Felix at home."
