"Suppose this makes me the TinMan," she mumbled and struck a frozen pose.

Sure that made perfect sense. What any and every sane person would do.

With another two barks from Prince Charming and then a few bang, bangs from someone's fallen textbooks, Lexi was fairly sure she'd somehow helped contribute to causing a small amount of commotion in an otherwise quiet corridor.

...and now, the Tin Man was here? Supposedly? Apparently?

This was exactly the sort of thing that gave Hogwarts that whole 'Expect-the-Unexpected' kind of feel. Yet when nothing...erm, unexpected...happened next, Lexi slowly turned her attention to...some boy...who apparently didn't know her name either. "Hello to you, Mr. Student Sir," she greeted, a joking smile on her face. "I'm Professor Lexi Carlton, and this is...Prince Charming." She glanced down at her little Chihuahua, who was still eying that tapestry like it was one big chew toy he could spend a lifetime tearing to shreds. "Prince Charming," Lexi half-whispered, half-scolded. "Here, boy..." Oh, if she only had a treat...

...If I only had a heart...do do do do do do

Her line of thinking with Prince Charming's 'chew toy' and Professor Lainey's line about the Tin Man brought back 'Wizard of Oz' memories for Lexi. She and Allie had watched the old movie a time or two while sharing an apartment in America. Now she hadn't quite made the connection between Lainey and the Tin Man yet, but she just assumed it was something Lainey had been talking about or thinking about before she'd joined them. Maybe something trivial... "Oh, Professor Lainey! It's good to see you again!" Lexi greeted. ...and it was. She hadn't seen her old professor in...not counting the recent feast...ten years! "It's been...a whole decade, hasn't it? How've you been?"
