The last thing she expected as she slipped into the seat opposite his was to walk in on a mini interrogation. People didn't always need to a reason to wander down here, not from what she'd seen. Most of them in here were just drinking and staring...oh yeah, lots of staring. Outside of that, didn't seem like they had much reason to be here either.

Lex gave a casual shrug assuming he was only being polite in asking that sort of thing not that she could ever remember him feeling he was obligated to be as such. "Got tired of the sun shiny streets up in Diagon Alley, saw the steps and figured why not." It seemed like a good idea at the time and now that she'd run into HIM it suddenly transformed into the most brilliant idea she'd had in a week.

The former Gryffindor swiveled her drink around a bit but made no moves to take a sip. "Passing time til I get my YATI acceptance...and NEWT results I guess."

But now she was curious. How long had it been since this man all but disappeared off the maps. "And you? Top secret business lead you down here? An understandable aversion to the idiots up on the main street maybe?" Circe just don't tell her Knox was gonna show up too. He wasn't waiting for her, RIGHT?
