She was happy she kept her promise though because she'd never break a promise to Bay.

As Teddy's smile faltered then reappeared, Lux couldn't help but giggle. "I'm sure he won't mind. I really like Mr. Kitridge. He is a very nice man." She was happy for him and Professor Cassie and missed all the Hogwarts staff - especially Professor Culloden. "What book was it?" she asked curiously.

It was too bad that Zhenya couldn't help her, but that was okay. She had some pretty good advice though! "I'm trying to stick to a routine, but it feels like I never have enough time to do everything. And of course I need to have a social life." She would die if all she did was stay inside and study. "I might get a tutor, because even with my governess I feel like I struggle a bit." But yeah, math sucked.

"That's very true! I don't think I could have gone back there after everything that happened. And I was already eager to go before that." She didn't like to dwell on the unhappy times, they had been terrible for her. At least she was happy now, and so were her friends! "That's great! I can't wait to be able to work. I'm doing wonderful. I've been waiting for ages for Hogsmeade to open!" And now it finally was!

That was too bad that Lux hadn't seen a mermaid when she had wanted to. And... he wondered who Bay was. Whoever he was, Teddy was glad Lux had promised not to put herself in danger.

So Lux thought so too! "I think so too!" Teddy said, happily. He had been most relieved to discover that the Librarian wasn't a hideously mean person. Not even a little bit mean. PLUS he was Teddy's head of house, which was always good. "I don't remember..." Teddy said, deep in thought. What book HAD it been? "I think it was an Arithmancy textbook or something." Some extra work for him to practice?

"How many NEWTs are you going to be going?" she asked Lux, curious. It was good that Zhenya had decided to give up a few lessons, which meant more time to focus on the ones she enjoyed and was good at, rather than stressing herself out trying to study for subjects she didn't like and wasn't good at. Zhenya giggled at the second bit. She couldn't imagine Lux giving up her social life. "Well obviously you need your social life, of course you do!" Otherwise they would just get totally burned out.

"Oh I didn't know you were wanting to leave before the Acromantula attack." Was that what she meant? "OH So have I! When they wrote and told me when the date had been set, I made sure I had time off. I got to leave early so I could be here. It's so good, except there's one girl at work who is just so awful. She came in and had a go at all of us on our first day! I haven't really been near her since though." Thankfully everyone else was lovely.
