Lexi fought to keep the shock off of her face. "That is terrible. I had no idea, Jake. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that I have only ever seen you while... well you know. We all preformed pretty extraordinary magic then," she said bitterly. She hated that her memories of Hogwarts were tarnished by that madman. "If you ever want someone to practice magic with, you can ask me. I love doing magic."

Lexi's face went blank and she sighed. "My biological mother is descended from the Black family. She didn't get the mentality that some members of that family did... then my father was just as bad as her. They were really terrible to me all the time. After that stuff last term they congratulated me for everything I had done. After that I went to love with my Uncle Silas. My Auntie Dora had just passed on and he had two little babies to take care of. He just couldn't handle me and the kids anymore, I guess. I wasn't worth much when I got home anyway. Anywho. He sent me to St. Mungo's and when I finally got out there was a big to do about my parents not being suitable to take care of me anymore. Luckily for me Dylan was such a great friend... He talked to his parents and the rest is history," she finished talking and dabbed at the corners of her eyes where tiny tears had spilt out. She had not really told a lot of people that story. Sigh.
