And clearly by Alexa's reaction, she didn't read, nor was it the topic of conversation. This was rather disappointing, but at the same time, it only added to the surprise. "Well, the winning school receives a large cash prize... which you know, would go a long way to alleviating the schools financial woes." And getting rid of the turnstiles for good.. nuisance things. It was a crime to expect her to pay each time she entered! It was her job!

"Alexa?" Seren questioned, watching the girl ... process things. Was she processing? "I know it's short notice, but I only just received word of the selection since the nomination period."
She wasn't going to faint? Or puke? Or lose her marbles? Would she?....
Say what now? Keeping busy? That....
depended. She might have wandered around the ground with her kneazle when she was done here or maybe she'd go have a nap. Those both classified as busy, yes? Okay, then the answer was yes and she gave a short nod.
"I'll find something to do."
Lex was finding she liked this idea more and more. Good on the school for entering something like this. If they could whip all those brainiacs into shape they could get rid of the turnstiles and make the place completely like it was before. Maybe even better, who knows.
"And the school's going against...?" It was against other schools...European ones by the sound of it. She gave it a bit more thought.
"Durmstrang and Beauxbaton?" Was that it?
Wait whoa stop.
Nomination period??? Someone NOMINATED her in the FIRST place??? Why in merlin's beard did anyone want to do THAT?????
For a while she found it difficult to locate her voice. It might have gone off to laugh at her, in which case, she would wait for it to get back. In the mean time she simply stared over at the Professor, trying to make sense of this. Now that she was processing all this, it made the news even worse.
"I thought you guys wanted to win." Oh hey her voice was back.
"We're up against Durmstrang and Beauxbaton, I'm assuming, and you all thought it'd be a good idea to choose me?" Clearly, not. They didn't want to win. Nope. They were entering for the lolz. SHE would probably be the biggest joke of the entire competition.
