Past, Present, and Future
History: She was born in Caterfield and after two years her mother moved out for the first time. She stayed away and on Lex's Third birthday she moved back, but left on Lex's fourth birthday and never came back. Lex hates her Mum. She has seen her only a few times since her fourth birthday. She preferred to spend her time when she was younger with her Father, brother and grandmother.
She attended Hogwarts, where she made many friends. She was a normally shy child, but Hogwarts brought out the rebel in her. She became very close with a Slytherin girl named Breena Brightheart, the same age as her, as well as two Ravenclaws, Hari Granger and Alaina Tremalking. They were the best of friends and spent almost all of their time together making some sort of mischief around the castle. They always had ways of getting out of trouble though.
During her 7th year, her father was killed while he was out doing work for the Ministry shortly before Lex was to graduate. Lex missed the graduation ceremony to be at the funeral, where Lex stood alone with his brother and his fiancée at the time. Lex didn’t return to Hogwarts to say good-bye to her friends, but simply left, finding more pressing matters at home. She wrote letters often but couldn’t bring herself to pick things back up with her old friends.
After the funeral, Lex chose to take a year off and travel to America and see the world around her. She met many American Wizards and made many friends while she was in America. She stayed there for near a year and then returned back home, and stayed with her brother for two weeks and then left for college. She graduated and headed to teach at Hogwarts after her graduation and since then has had a very interesting life. Two years into college, she caught back up with Breena and they were best friends again.
After graduating from the Wizarding University, Lex was invited to come teach Transfiguration back at Hogwarts and she instantly accepted. She loved teaching at Hogwarts, but something was wrong. Her first year went smoothly but during her second year she started to get bad feelings. One day, while correctly papers she received a letter from Jillian, her sister-in-law telling her that her brother had been killed during an accident in the Gringott’s vaults. Lex, who had lost the thrill of teaching at Hogwarts, requested of the headmistress if she could take a leave of absence in order to straighten out her life.
She headed back to a small flat where Jillian moved a few months after Gavin died. She helped her care for Griffen, and get the house into order. When Jillian’s mother moved in, Lex started to feel her usefulness had run out. She packed her things and headed back to America, feeling she had more searching to do.
Lex spent several months in New York City, working in the Wizarding Underground there, hoping that something would click. She worked at a small bookshop and meet people in the Shooting Star, much like the Leaky Cauldron. She started to become happy again when she met a young wizard named Adrian. They became fast friends and Lex finally knew she had to return to Hogwarts.
Here and Now: Lex has herself much more together than she has in the past. She has withstood the passing of her father and brother with much strength, but often will look back and get stuck there. Adrian helps her with this. Lex is struggling with her long distance relationship, as well as worrying about the future of her nephew and her sister-in-law. She is entirely happy to be back where she is right now and is much more upbeat than she was in the past.
Long-term Outlook: Lex is right now looking to settle down in her life and have some sort of constant in her life. She is also looking to improve her teaching at Hogwarts. Her most important goal is to get married and have children, as well as look out for her sister-in-law. She is very concerned for their future since Gavin died.
