It was too early for potions. Most days it was too early for Potions but Lex dragged her feet to the dungeons anyway. It was strange to think how much less time she spent down here now, what with Cassia being gone and her having no reason save for Potions classes that lasted maybe an hour or so. The place almost looked different--'cept not really.

Just as she entered, her lips parted to give a greeting but they closed once more as the lion stopped. No Professor? Things covered in cloth on the table? No one to tell her 'no'? Did the Professor even think this one through?

Lex walked right by her seat and up to the Professor's table where she drew Professor Airey's wand and proceeding to poke at whatever it was through the fabric. First test, was it alive and could it move? If no movement came she'd probably just flip the cloth off for a minute. Only a minute, no more.

How curious.
