He cocked his head to the side a bit, not quite sure what Louisa meant. How hard should she punch? As hard as she could.. She swung again and he jumped a bit. She hit the wall?! "Oh! Uhh.." Yikes, yeah, if she hurt THAT hand, then there was no chance she was swinging at anyone. He walked over to his jacket to take it down. "I think maybe we should go back to hitting my hands as a target.." So that she didn't BREAK her hand.

He put up his own hands in the same fashion as before. "'Kay, so hit the center of my hands a few times, and I think you'll be pretty ready." Now they could see if she progressed from those initial punches.
Rubbing her knuckles with her hand she waited for him to take his jacket off the wall and use his hands as a punching bag again. His question made her smile and shrug awkwardly, "Nothing really happened I was just... uhh.." she chuckled and shook her head, recalling her flustered attitude toward Adam that day. "Well, you know how things go when a boy and a girl meet alone and do what.." she hesitated and frowned, "..we were.." Okay, this was officially awkward. Louisa bit her lower lip and forced the stupid flush away from her face, lowering her gaze.

Without warning the Ravenclaw moved her body and threw a punch at Paulie's hands. Not forcefully since her main purpose was to get out of that embarrassing moment, she didn't hit the center either, same reason. But after a couple of unfocused punches, her breath started to accelerate slightly and she did hit the center of his hands. She started adding a bit more strength into her swings, careful not to hit any of his knuckles or wrist joint.

After a minute of focused swings, Louisa stopped and kept her eyes on his hands. "Are you... okay?" Because his hands were a bit reddish now.. more than a bit maybe. Even her own hand hurt from the sudden activity. She curled and uncurled her fist but waited for him to answer.

There was only one more thing left to do for her now; she had to learn how to throw a swing at a face she used to snog with, and then flee without any witnesses. Especially with the badge on her uniform drawing so attention this term, and a couple of months into the year, people were recognizing her as the Prefect even without the badge. She had to brainstorm about that.
