Ah well. He had lots of time to socialize now!
"Really, all of them?" Nolan asked, blinking a bit. Apparently, even here, Nolan didn't get out much. "I need to step up my game, then," he said with a little chuckle. History of Magic...that was Lainey. EEEEP.
"I can't wait to get a butterbeer from the Three Broomsticks. It's been AGES since I've stepped foot in there," he said. Well, not AGES. "It's going to be weird going in there as a professor, though--even now everything is so different than when I was a student. I even got LOST trying to find my office the first day!"
In his defense, as a Hufflepuff, he RARELY wandered up to the seventh floor while in school. Only for Divination.
"Hmm...Mysteries. I don't think I'd like working there too much, but...I bet you loved it. You know, with you enjoying Divination and the such," she said. She honestly didn't know if the two were connected in any specific way, but she just imagined that people who were into telling the future and crystal balls and the such would be right at home in the Mysteries department.
"So what made you decide to leave Mysteries and come here? I mean, I'm glad you did...but, I'm just curious." "Well, not all of them. There's probably four or five I really haven't had a chance to actually talk to yet," Lexi said, replying to what Nolan had said about meeting all their co-workers. She'd just been so busy since school started that she really hadn't had much free time. It was unfortunate that she hadn't really talked to some of her new co-workers, but she was slowly and surely getting around to meeting them all.
Lexi glanced over at Nolan, and when she did...she was immediately sorry.
Nolan himself didn't make her feel that way, though. The moving staircase had suddenly jerked forward and spun them around, causing Lexi to tumble forward and into Nolan. When the staircase finally slowed to a reasonable speed, Lexi pushed herself off Nolan, a slight blush creeping up on her cheeks.
"Sorry about that, Nolan," she said with a laugh.
"...but anyway, you're right. It will be different going to Hogsmeade as a professor, but at least we'll have more freedom that way."
