The raising of his brow didn't go unnoticed but she wasn't exactly sure what it was for....In her defense, "It's true. Benjy had some at the Halloween party. It tastes different from that stuff I just vanished and both taste worse than what me and Lottie were having." He remembered Lottie, right? The non-hufflepuff. Funny how he thought they were lying when they said it but it was true.

Also, ahem, there might have been a stupid grin on her face--it didn't last long before she regained composure but yes, it had been there BECAUSE MR. VINTEREN SAID SHE SHOWED A LOT OF POTENTIAL. Not a little. Not a bit. Not some. A lot. Definitely to be noted.

Her expression twisted into one of bemusement as he went on. Not learning from him because she was going to be an Auror...? "I disagree." Lex said, point blank, hazel eyes locked on his own piercing blues and her expression as stubborn as it could be. "I've read that Aurors are given special leave to use an means necessary to get the bad guy. No one said I had to play nice, so I don't need to learn nice otherwise I'll never be at the top of my game and someone's likely to out me while I'm still reading some dumb manual on wizarding rights." Did he think pansies ran the world? No, they were chewed out first mission and quickly forgotten. It was the questionable ones that struck fear. The ones commonly known to do whatever it took, those gave you the heebie jeebies and unnerved you. An idea she rather liked.

As for the Mistress of All Evil. "There was some fairytale book possessing kids." Go figure. "Found it in the restricted section and apparently unleashed it on everyone else?" But that wasn't her fault. Obviously. "I had some fortune to not have gotten stuck with a puffy dress wearing princess but the Mistress of All Evil herself. Dot says I made a couple kids cry," pansies, "and apparently I challenged the Headmistress for her 'throne'?" 'Least according to Ethan she did. Lex shrugged. "Wasn't so bad, did whatever I wanted."
