Suddenly Kylie wondered if her new professor might be excited to be back, "Excuse me, I mean, if you don't mind me asking, did you go to Hogwarts?"
She always found the lives of her professors very interesting, but never liked to push too much. It was THEIR life, and if they wished to disclose it, it was her opportunity to learn. She tried to pick up as much as she could from the professor's office--already trying to think of a gift for the kind professor.
Swimmingly---Lexi had always gotten a kick out of that word. She supposed things were going
swimmingly for her, too. Granted, the students had only been back in the castle for...what?...a few days now? That sounded about right. There hadn't been any serious injuries, break-ins, spells-gone-wrong, or near deaths yet. To Lexi, that was an accomplishment for Hogwarts.
"Oh, well classes will start all too soon, then you'll be so busy you'll only dream of free time," she said with a laugh. Life for the professors wouldn't be too much different either. When she wasn't teaching a lesson, Lexi figured she'd be grading papers or busy in her office.
Lexi didn't mind being asked about her Hogwarts years. She figured the questions were going to come sooner or later anyway. So as long as no one thought she was a 2020 graduate or something like that, she didn't mind them asking at all.
"I don't mind you asking, of course. I did attend Hogwarts. I was a Gryffindor, and I graduated in 2061," she answered. Lexi was only twenty-eight years old, so she could be honest about her graduation year and not feel like someone's
grandmother.

As she listened to professor Carlton talked about her twin, her smile growing as Prince Charming nuzzled her hand and took another bite out of the treat. Working as Senior Undersecretary didn't sound like a thrilling job, but Arya never was one for paperwork. She shook her head at the professor's question. "No, there only six. My best friend Ivory does though, she's a Ravenclaw." She was like a sister, so it still counted right? Right. When the professor said she hadn't taught before, it made Arya curious as to what she had done before and thinking she didn't know what she had gotten herself into. Grinning she watched Prince Charming run around in circles. "What did you do before?"
Asking whether or not Lexi once attended Hogwarts was one thing. Asking what Lexi did before becoming a teacher was something entirely different, though. Lexi really hadn't done too much for the first few years after graduation. She'd been a barista at Starbucks, but...that hadn't really been anything amazing. She
had worked at the American Ministry of Magic for a while, though!
"Well, to begin with, I was a Barista at a coffee house called Starbucks. I pretty much...made coffee," she said with a laugh.
"After that, I worked at the American Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Education for a while. When Allie moved back to Great Britain, though, I decided to follow a few months later. That's when I was hired here." Quote:

She handed over the biscuit to the dog. She has never seen a dog before, honestly. She was pretty much amazed that she can see one now.
"You're welcome," Lexi replied. She leaned back in her chair as she took a few moments to watch the students play with Prince Charming. The little dog had never had so many people to play with at once! She'd have a hard time settling him down later on, but she loved to see him active.
Having just eaten two dog biscuits, Prince Charming sniffed at this new biscuit then took a hesitant bite of it. A moment later, he took a second bit---a slighty bigger bite---out of the biscuit then turned to lie down in his doggy bed. "Looks like someone is sleepy from such a big meal," Lexi said, laughing.
"I think he may have had enough for now, but you can just toss the biscuit near his bed. He'll finish it off sometime later."
