"More or less that," Lucy said. "I know I'm technically more qualified in the magical world, since I missed my GCSEs - but I have work experience in the muggle world, I'm good with numbers, even if I don't have the qualifications to prove it." She didn't want to give that up and go back to a world in which she didn't feel even competent - but she didn't really expect Susan to understand that, so she focused on her chips.
Her shoulders firmed slightly as Susan confirmed that toe-dipping was a good way to begin. "I get why people believe that," she said. She just wasn't sure it applied to her specifically. Still, at least she was thinking about it, exploring her options. "It is nice not to have to lie so much." She didn't even notice that she'd implicitly admitted to lying at least a little.
Lucy raised an eyebrow. "I don't need you to be proud of me." She pushed her hair out of her face. "I'm not - I don't want to be the little girl who follows you and Ernie and Justin around, needing you to do everything for me." That was the crux of the matter, she supposed. As to the actual question, she shrugged. "Someone sent me a journal and a flyer for Finnigan's."
