Was this what she was reduced to? Escorting children to school?

Lex supposed she was meant to be grateful; happy Emily let her out of the office at all given the circumstances, but she wasn't. What sort of Law Enforcer were you when the bosses didn't think you were competent enough for a badge and decided the Wizarding World would be a better place if they held off on giving you one?

For her part, Lex was perfectly professional about the whole thing--or as professional as she could try being. As instructed, she got both children to the floo and was now standing in an office that looked nothing like what she was used to. Kinda strange not having pink everywhere and that said a lot coming from her. A whole lot. A part of her wondered what this new Head Honcho was like. All the muggle things got her thinking about Airey and his own obsession.

Stepping from the fireplace and into the office was a sort of bittersweet feeling. She wouldn't lie, Alexa thought the next time she'd step into the castle, she'd be an Auror...not a failure. Seeing two of three familiar faces, Lex put on a brave face of her own. Not bothered. She was absolutely not bothered. "G'morning." And a lingering look at Airey. Merlin she missed him. A somewhat conspiratorial grin graced her face. "Brought your run aways back." Just a bit of humour.

There was no need for everything to be doom and gloom now that they were free and deemed healthy. That was no way to live.
