No Caleb, you DID spoil the fun. She was all set to have some kind of grand adventure, search groups heading down into the Chamber and everything until he mentioned it was all a joke. Way to crush a 14 year old's spirit, yeah??? But she wouldn't say anything because the Professor was speaking up and Mo was giving her apologetic looks. No need to be sorry. She's flattered someone thinks she can pull it off...though she might actually have been offended. Who in Merlin's beard would get caught on a simple prank like this?????

Wait! What?! Search party down in the chamber?!

Alexa was positively beaming--staff? STAFF?? Lex's face fell. STAAAAAAAFF?? Okay, the way she saw it, she had about 2 hours to get the Headmistress to hire her, then she'd be able to go, be a TRUE GRYFFINDOR then get her butt fired for reckless endangerment. A good plan, she needed to get started on it now--after they cleaned? Huh? But WHHHHYYY?? This was SO COOL! WHHHY take it down??????

She thought to ask but see...no one else seemed to find this cool and she'd get looks so...Lex raised her wand to the wall...but lowered it as her best friend approached. She leaned closer to her, continuing in the whisper the other girl had started. "No clue but Cass, we have to get into that chamber, we have to, okay??? The Professor says there's nothing down there but come on, basilisks and chambers."

Then she straightened and aimed for the wall again. "Tergeo!" Sniffle Goodbye epic writing. "Tergeo!" And what was Sophie going on about? What French girl? She hadn't seen anyone.
