Studying was not something that Alexia really did. She almost never read the material before class, her notes were average at best, and during study group, she mostly just listened to other people talk. However, it was becoming apparent that she was going to have to pick up better habits. She didn't know who this Newt Sca-something was. Or is? Was he still alive? She supposed not, since it was the HISTORY of magic. Many people that she learned about in muggle history were no longer with us, so it fit that the people of magical history weren't going to be either.

Needless to say, she was not going to be able to give an answer to this question. She didn't have a good grasp on what the magical creatures were yet. So, in an effort to look like she was paying attention, she got a notebook out and flipped to a crisp, new page.

Newt Scamander. Alexia couldn't help but wonder about the mans first name. She knew her first name wasn't exactly a popular one, she was the only Alexia in her school, after all. But Newt was on a different level. It reminded her of those witches in the old plays they had to read in school, who were crowded around a cauldron putting in eyes of newts and stuff like that for potions. Like the stuff in those potions, she wrote next to his name. Stupid stuff like that was good for memorization, or something like that. She had to see a tutor last year that taught her that.

In between writing down the list of magical creatures she had never heard of before, Alexia began doodling in the margins of her notebook. She was getting a pretty cool sketch going on, and was actually trying to take notes at the same time. Look at her, multi-tasking. She was proud of herself.

However, she soon focused more on her awesome doodles than on the list she SHOULD have been making. The doodles looked cool, but she didn't go to this school to doodle. She went to this school in order to learn magic stuff. The cool doodles were going to have to wait. Alexia forced her attention from the doodle and back onto the list she was trying to make of magical creatures and Newt Scamander and all of the cool things he did.
