For now, while Violet got ready, Lily's mind started to wander, causing her to look around and see... well, she wasn't sure what she was seeing. Her eyes popped open, but then were turned away once the professor started yelling. All the redhead knew was to make sure that she didn't get in trouble and loose more points after Ravenclaw had already lost 50 points.
Turning back to Violet, Lily waited for the ball to head over towards her. After a couple of tries on her partner's part, the ball flew over and Lily carefully caught it and placed it on the ground. "Nice job! Here it comes!!" It was her turn again so she gripped her wand, did the motion and spoke clearly with conviction. "Wingardium Leviosa!!" The ball shot up and zoomed over towards Violet faster than it had the first time. Lily tried to slow it down and keep it under control, but that wasn't quite working. The ball had a beeline course for Violet and didn't seem to be slowing or moving no matter what Lily did. "Look out Violet!!!"
Violet's head snapped up to the commotion when she saw the professor yelling at a group of older students. Were they…in the air? The professor looked quiet unhappy and Ravenclaw had just lost fifty points.
Fifty points… That was a lot. How could they be so irresponsible? Violet swore she could literally see steam coming out of the professor’s ears. It was a scary site to see and she hoped that they wouldn’t have to face that type of a punishment in her school career. Lost in thought and still staring at the older students who should be having quite embarrassed faces while the whole classroom stared at them, she didn’t see the ball coming until she heard Lily call out. As the first year turned her head, the ball was flying at her face already.
Boink!
It bounced off Violet’s forehead and dropped to the carpet with a soft thud.
“Oof.", she muttered, and then rubbed her forehead at the spot the ball hit her. It didn’t hurt her since it was just a rubber ball, but Violet scolded herself in her head for not paying attention.
“Sorry, lily,” she said laughing.
“I wasn’t paying attention. I’m alright. Don’t worry about.” And picked up the ball.
“Wingardium Leviosa!” and the ball rose again. It flew in a high arc towards Lily.
