Did it bother her? Make her uneasy? Afraid? Aspen's eyes DID leave the Head Girl for a moment to eye the train she'd latched onto, then back to the Head Girl for staring purposes. "Don't take it out on the train."

Aspen used her wand tip to TOUCH the top of Louisa's hand, the one on the train there. Just a TOUCH.
Seriously? Louisa couldn't help but give the creepy girl a sideways glance, "Why wouldn't I?" She had all reasons to be uncomfortable by that creepy staring. She didn't move her hand from the train though, not even when she felt Aspen's dangerous wand tip tapping her skin. Which miiiiight've caused her arms to explode into goosebumps. GULP.

When Nessie was called to read something, her parchment? Her notes? Louisa focused on the wicked Odessa sitting next to her now.

OOC: You guys get to choose which side of the room you are on! Work with your partner and try out different spells or poke the train or set it on fire in attempt to get it moving around your track. A minimun of five posts is required to get the max number of points. Have fun with it guys!
Holy. Merlin's. Awkward. Turtle.

THEIR PARTNER? As in ASPEN? Louisa groaned again, removing her hand from the train and using it in rubbing her face. Could she like swap places with someone else? Because really, she didn't want to work with someone who 1) hexed her beautiful fingers. 2) set her on fire and 3) was rumored to have infectious saliva. All with a sweet curious smile on their face. The smile was the creepiest actually, reminded her of the wizard assaulting her in summer.

But no. She swaps places, she'll be titled as the coward Head Girl. And Louisa miiiiight be jumpy and not-so-brave but she wasn't a coward. She could do this. After all what could possibly happen with Scabior around? Hmm?

Finally she let out an exaggerated sigh and turned to look at Odessa, maybe for the first time this lesson. "Listen. I'd really appreciate it if we work this through. Quickly. Then we can be on our separate ways. And stop staring at me like that, it makes you look like a breakout loony from St. Mungo's." Breeeeath. Okay.

Okay.. so they were in the middle, that meant their train had stopped like it did this term. Probably just a technical error? "So." She grabbed her wand and started thinking. Out loud. "We're supposed to make it move. That doesn't mean we have to fix it, since apparently we don't know what exactly broke the train." Pause. "We can add external fire-breathing engines. Or extremely powerful air puffing machine." Pause. "Maybe do something to the wheels too..."

Pause.

"What do you want from me?" Whoops! Off-topic. But Louisa really wanted to know, she squinted her eyes. "I don't believe you're being a brat just for the heck of it. What's your real motive?"
