Was any of that directed at her? Lex was gonna pretend otherwise. There were at least a million other students in the class that didn't have anything to say and it might have been because they were afraid of being wrong but not her, that was never her reason. Professors could possibly attest to the fact that she spoke even when she didn't know what she was talking about. This was different, REAL different and the Gryffindor would have simply preferred to stare. When had that become a crime?

For lack of having anything better to do with her hands, Lex began idly twirling around her tea spoon in the cup of still full tea. Maybe if she swished it enough it would change colour and reveal itself for what it truly was. Not poison, nah, not with Professor Smiles....but something, something she wasn't willing to test out.

Once again there was a question and once again, Lex sat mute. A ball couldn't show you the future, not when the future wasn't set in stone and subject to change at any point. No reason to bother if it would end differently anyway. Food for thought right there.

Lex regarded her crystal ball and the lack of activity inside. Guess that meant her future was blank, huh?
