Alexa's expression became a solemn one. When he said they'd be learning about the cockatrice and the triwizard tournament, she didn't think they'd have to go calling stuff first. Wasn't it obvious she didn't KNOW?? Merlin, she wasn't even aware there had been on of those whenever it happened so how did all these people?? Was it 'cause they READ??? Was that it??? She refused to accept this. Lex scribbled the minor details that everyone was giving but make no mistake, she was not amused. Wasn't he going to be telling them about the things that happened? Wasn't that his job??

What did it matter to HER who participated? No one died, a jolly good time was had, big deal. She had yet to see the historic significance. They had tournaments like that, not often but merlin, the happened and people got over them.

It was like following Quidditch. The world cup happens.Your team wins--or doesn't and in a few years NO ONE goes on about 'oh I wonder who won. Who were the players? Did one of them nearly die? What colour was the whistle the official blew?' Geddit? Pointless. History of Magic was pointless when they discuss trivial things like this because she didn't know and couldn't participate.

Lex lowered he quill after taking the last of the suggestions. Moving on, yes?
