"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."

"I definitely liked the work," Nolan explained. Yeah, prophecies and all that...that was HIS thing. "I just like talking a bit more. It was too gloomy down there for my taste," he said with a chuckle. Not that the place was depressing or anything, just...too dark. Too secretive. Sometimes Nolan had the urge to just YELL at the top of his lungs cause he went so stir crazy down there.

"Well, other than getting out of the dark, gloomy cubicle I had down there, this job allows me to be more hands on with my field of interest," he explained. Down in Mysteries, he'd only dealt with Prophecies...and there was SOOOO much more to Divination than just fortune telling through visions or prophecies. "Plus, I've always enjoyed telling people about Divination...I think I'm just a natural teacher," he added with a grin.

Suddenly, the staircase jerked into motion, and Lexi was nearly flung through the air by the force of it, falling right into Nolan and knocking his glasses askew. EEP! His glasses! As she stood up and blushed, he laughed and fixed his glasses so they sat straight on his nose again. "Haha, don't worry about it! These things move faster than they used to, don't you think?" he asked.

At least faster than he REMEMBERED.
