That being the case you would have no wand and therefore no means of keeping warm while in the lake and with temperatures like what we get you'd have ten minutes at most before your heart freezes over and you join Moaning Myrtle in her bathroom." She gave a casual shrug before looking at the girl again with a grin. "But, you know, that's all hypothetically speaking."

Sigh. Someone else who'd only heard about him. Not much use to her now was she? "I know his name, I prefer Mr. Giant Squid, and it would be cool. I heard he came up for a lesson once...but I wasn't here so I missed it." Pity really. "And you have a rather odd name, did you know?" Galla-oof? Merlin!

Oh, wait, wait, wait, that right there might have had something to do with that other girl running into her. Lex looked up at her, taking in the girl's features with a curious gaze. "Hello there." Her eyes glances to Tora, noting the growing irritation and merely shrugging at it. It wasn't her who'd been run into so she couldn't really care. "Will you be joining us? I don't suspect we'd mind." The appearance of the new girl caused her to miss everything the first year had said after that.
