Lexi felt... strange. The week so far had been rather uneventful and calm, she had just started a new relationship, and the next Hogsmeade trip was right around the corner, but something inside her was off. In two days she was going to be sixteen years old. A 'sweet sixteen', as some of her muggle friends back home called it. And it felt like anything but. Her father had died almost six years ago, and she had come to terms with that, It was just that this year felt so different. She knew the truth.

And that very truth continued to haunt her mind and dreams since August when her Mum finally divulged the whole information as to what happened to her fathers death. Up until now she was able to hold everything back and pretend like nothing had changed, but in truth it had. Lexi hurt more and more when she'd read those Daily Prophet articles about looming Death Eaters and the constant disappearance of people. Her exterior was thinning, and with the approach of her birthday, it was close to breaking completely. Maybe the fact that she hadn't told anyone about it was partly to blame; not even her closest friends or her boyfriend knew of the news. But part of Lexi somehow felt that it would be a bother to her mates to listen to her. As if the wizarding world wasn't ominous enough.

Leaning against the front stands, looking down towards the frosty grass below, Lexi pondered in silence. Her long hair blew messily in the brisk wind as she stared with an expressionless face. The pitch was empty when she arrived half-way through supper, but she was so preoccupied that she probably wouldn't notice if someone did show up. With a long sigh, she sniffled a bit and tried her best not to start crying.
