SPOILER!!: Bentley

Alexa nodded slowly at the confirmation. Both Durmstrang and Beauxbaton. Mhm. As she thought. The apprehensive look on her face wasn't doing anything to dislodge the grin on the Professor's. She was beginning to think the woman legit thought this was one of the most epic things ever.

It turned out they had all intention of winning this competition and by the sounds of it they were convinced Lex would help them--say WHAAAT? She nominated her? Lex's mouth fell open in blatant shock. Maybe...maybe she'd just wait to hear the reasons before completely flipping out here. Might have been for the best. Lex settled back in her seat, listening, very much listening. Finally she gave a shrug. "I'mokayatit." At them. Academics weren't something she worried about but she didn't put tremendous amounts of effort into it anyway.

And you know what, it never occurred to her just how modest she was until her Head of House went and said that. So many compliments in one sentence. She didn't know whether to grin or...yeah...She would have sat there, not knowing what to say until she heard THAT. Throwing challenges at her? See, when she said it like that it got the Gryffindor's lips tugging up into a smile then a full on grin. Challenge could have meant anything but the fact that they were being thrown and she was tough enough all just kinda screamed danger. Her eyes had a little spark in them now. "There's gonna be legit challenges?? Like...like real ones, not the whole sitting behind a desk, hurrying through a theory paper that could leave me brain dead??" YES?

She was prepared to agree on the wonderful experience thing.

"The strongest and most established Wizarding Schools in European history.." it was a traditional thing. What with all those Triwizard Tournaments and competitive relationships formed over centuries. Or something like that... she never was the History of Magic type. Nope. Watching Alexa's facial expressions were both amusing and heartwarming, she was so pleased she did this in person rater than via owl... so much more fun. The Gryffindor's comment caught her off guard though. They DID want to win. Very much so. She wasn't making any sense, none whatsoever. *"Oh but we do... and we will, and you're* going to help us achieve that." No pressure. Pressure! Was Alexa... uncomfortable with it? Self conscious? Did she fear failure? "You know, I nominated you for a reason," she added, her grin softening into a small smile. "You're tenacious, you're skilled in the subject.." and this was no joke, she was all sorts of serious. "I don't think you realise just how well you do in Herbology, and academically in general." Seren paused, reaching her hand out to the table to play with her keys. Hands needed to be kept busy or she'd lose her acorns. "Alexa, you're a consistently high achiever. Not only in house points, which by the way indicates that you're strong across the board, but particularly in Herbology. You've made it on my list of top students two years in a row, and that is quite a feat. It says a lot about your skill, not to mention you're tough enough to handle whatever challenge they throw at you." Again, no pressure. "You're a very capable student, Alexa... and we all think highly of your skills and potential to further them." "This," yes, THIS... as in, big thing happening here, "is going to be a wonderful experience for you."** Alexa nodded slowly at the confirmation. Both Durmstrang and Beauxbaton. Mhm. As she thought.
