Oh no.
Oh no, this was not good at all.
Lex's mouth fell open as Headmistress Hawthorne left the Great Hall and the unpleasant-looking man took her place. This could NOT be happening. As he told the students to stand, Lex did so, almost involuntarily. Her legs were shaking like mad, and her hands still shook as well. This man was Headmaster now?!
She felt sick to her stomach. They couldn't do this. Could they? She wanted to ask anyone around her if this could really be happening, but she couldn't find her voice. However, as Headmaster Scrimgeour continued to speak, it was evident that this really was happening and that this term would be very, very different from her first.
Lex could only hope that this new Headmaster meant well. Still, she worried, as unexpected tears started to fall from her eyes. As the tables filled with food, and they were instructed to sit down, Lex only stared at her plate, trying to stop the flow of tears. She didn't even know why she was crying. Was she sad? Scared? Angry? Maybe a bit of each? She wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her robes, trying to hide her tears from everyone.
