The fact that she would soon be back at Hogwarts for a seriously awesome day was definitely exciting for little Lexi. The huge event that the Ministry was putting on certainly wasn't something that she wanted to miss and considering the fact that her job gave her a lot of freedom during the day, it only made sense that she make the trip to the castle for the day. Besides, her siblings would all be there and it had been much too long since she'd seen the bunch. So, it would be a great opportunity all around. She'd see her family, have some fun and maybe even help out with the charity aspect a bit while she was there.
Throwing her hair up into a haphazard ponytail, Lexi apparated away from her flat and as close as she could to the gates of the school. From there, she walked the remaining way to the castle grounds where there were people directing the crowds as to where to go. Nodding at the man that let her through the gates, a smile crossed her face as she looked around the place. It had been home for so many years and it was great to be back. More or less just ambling on, Lexi figured she'd run into someone eventually, since it was definitely the place to be that day.
Fortunately for Lexi, however, it took no more than a few minutes for her to stumble upon one of her many siblings- Belle. She was sitting a bit away from a few people and appeared to be stretching out. An excited grin on her face, Lexi jogged over to where Belle was sitting and slid into the ground, coming to a stop right next to her. "Hey Belleybutton," she greeted. "What'cha doin' all the way over here?" Obviously, her younger and not quite as outgoing sister needed her there to push her into new friends and such.

Kaden was late or more like obcenely late he was sure. He'd been thrown into this commity at the last possible and probably worst possible second. He wasn't an entertainment guy, but when push came to shove he knew he was needed someway or another other wise he wouldn't have been put here. Being placed in a group of mostly girl's was going to be interesting for being semi anti-social and not being one for talking much Kaden knew things would get awkward. Moving his way down the grounds to where he would meet up with the group he noticed them all and slowed his pace not sure how to approach them. It wasn't like he expected a warm appreciative 'hi' or anything, but he hoped they wouldn't be too mad with him.
"Um... this is where the entertainment is right?" He said his voice a little shaky. This was mostly girl's after all besides himself and louis he noticed. Louis would probably be happy to see another male here and someone he slightly knew. The two didn't know much about each other, but after seeing each other in passing and having short conversations they'd become... i guess aquaintences. |

Belle really wished she had some music to prep her mind for the performance. She really wanted to be in the zone but right she just wasn't feeling it. Which meant that if she didn't shape up and get her head in the game then her own personal performance would suffer. It wouldn't suffer greatly, because Belle was a good dancer, but it'd be stiff and mechanical. There was nothing Belle hated more than her moves coming across overly choreographed. She liked her movements to flow naturally, like dancing was something she didn't have to think about. Belle thought that it made for a much better performance.
Sliding down into the splits, Belle leaned forward to grab her foot. She'd still been in this stretch when her sister had appeared. "Uh, hey." She blinked and shifted out of the stretch she'd been pulling on her leg so that she was sat cross-legged. "Just clearing my head." It was half true. Belle did like to stretch alone and it really did help her think. But she'd also come over here so she didn't have to be around Megan. "What are you doing here, Lexi?"

Letting everyone go their separate ways, Louis moved over to the tent to grab everyone some bottled water for practice, picking up a few extras just in case. Holding them all in a bundle in the crook of his arm, Louis jogged back over to the general area where the group was going to be for awhile and set all the supplies down in a small pile. Stretching his arms out, he stood about waiting for something to happen. Glancing over at Belle, he saw that she was now talking to someone that looked a bit older and which he was pretty certain was her older sister, so he didn't want to go bother the two. However, he was quickly greeted with the sight of another newcomer, Kaden. He was the only other guy on the entertainment crew and was quite glad to see that he'd showed up. "Hey, Kaden. Yeah, this is the place to be," Louis said in greeting. "I guess we're just hanging around here till we start practice or whatever," he said with a shrug. "How're you?" he asked, looking over at the other boy with a friendly smile.

Shaking her head a bit at her sister's less than excited greeting, Alexis shrugged a bit. "Oh, you know. Just in the area?" she said, rolling her eyes a bit. "Nah, everyone was invited, pretty much. It's a pretty big deal, yeah? They have to have someone around to spend it up for charity, right?" Pretty much most of the families had been invited to attend, so of course Lexi had decided to come. She missed being around the family and if she could run into some of them, than that was great. Besides, it wasn't like she had anything better to do with her day. "Nice to see you too, by the way. Since I can tell you're so super excited to see me. No need to tell me that, I just know," she commented with a bit of a smirk. "Figured I'd come visit while I was on break from the Prophet or whatever. But, hey, if you don't want me here, I'll just go find your twin. She'd be happy to see me." Alexis used her joking moment to not only chide her younger sister, but also to add to her growing lie about her occupation.

"Oh right, yeah, of course" Belle shook her head. She'd completely forgotten that families and the like had been invited. It was sort of obvious that other wizards and families would be attending since it was a charity event. Belle rubbed her hands over her face at her sisters sarcastic comments. Dropping her hands, Belle gave Lexi an apologetic smile. "Sorry, sorry. I'm glad to see you, really. My heads just.. all.. blah." brushing a hand back over her hair, Belle fully shifted her attention to her sister.
"How has work been, anyway?" she asked, genuinely interested. It wasn't often that Belle got to see her sister, what with being at Hogwarts all week and all.

Lexi almost felt bad about her joking comments when she saw the look on Belle's face and heard her apologies. She didn't really want the younger girl to feel bad, well, not really at least. "Of course, of course. Awh, your head? You been doin' alright, kiddo?" she asked, giving Belle a rather concerned look. Not being at Hogwarts, she didn't always get to keep up with the rest of her family as much as she wanted to, so there was always a lot that she was out of the loop on. Honestly, she didn't know much at all about what was going on in Belle's life and if there was something seriously wrong, she wouldn't have known it at all. That definitely made her feel pretty awful as an older sister, but she was there now and planned to catch up as best she could.
Shifting back on her feet a bit when Belle asked about work, Lexi shrugged for a second, giving herself some time to think up some sort of story about the office. To be honest, it probably hadn't been the best idea to say she'd gotten a job at the Prophet, since she pretty much didn't know jack about the place, but it was the first thing that came to mind that wasn't stripping. So, it just kind of happened to be the official story. "Oh, you know. Really busy lately. Saint Patrick's day was pretty crazy, so I'm still recovering from all the late nights with that," she nodded. It was a truthful statement, since that had been one of the busiest days of the year for the strip club, but she had no idea how that would apply to a job at the Daily Prophet. Perhaps Belle wouldn't know any better anyways and she'd just nod and accept it. Maybe.
