French had said she was doing well...

It was Alexa's fault. Alice had TOLD her not to move. Psh.

"... no? I mean, I like Ella, but... I'm okay where I am, I think." She gave the younger girl questioning looks. "I think your key is wrong. C'mere, I'm gonna measure your height and see if I get better results."

Patiently waiting until Lex came over, the sixth year tugged her measuring tape from her subject's toe to head, coming up with a little over 1.5 meters, or 5 feet and an inch. "61 inches... that's not a number. You're meaningless." Maybe if she rounded down to five? 'Cept that wasn't a number either. Or one. Maybe if she added one and five together... "Did you have breakfast this morning?"

Please say no. Please? Alice couldn't lose faith in the best professor ever, it would be tragic.

Because Alice had been so nice about holding the measuring tape while she took the measurements Lex had no problem walking over to her so she could have her height measured. What she DID mind though was being told her key was wrong.

fvgsgrfigidsfg!!

"Everyone's key is wrong Alice. These are random numbers that don't make sense. We gave them meaning based on how we saw stuff. This stuff isn't anymore real than Divination." Lex loved Elwood and found the classes entertaining but she would never actually take them seriously. They weren't real. This right here wasn't real. NONE of it. She sighed impatiently as she was measured then made a face at the results. "No I'm not." Meaningless? Alexa? Hah. Good one. "For your information I did have breakfast, didn't?" Didn't EVERYONE? No? Well they would have missed on on some good chocolate chip pancakes. Just saying.

And now it was her turn. Lex looked first to Alice, then to the floor a little ways off. With a lazy swing of her hand she threw the measuring tape then looked down to see how far it'd gone. By the looks of it.....28 metres, by the looks of her key, there was no such thing. "Right, we'll say this was 4? Yes, 4, I like 4, in which case, you don't want to be here." Solemn nod. It was all about making numbers work for you.

How much longer would they have to do this?
