She approached her and crouched down. In a soft voice she spoke, "Cora? Are you all right?" She made a visual sweep of the area, to be sure no flying balls would hit them, for the moment. She didn't want to look like she wasn't paying attention to the lesson anymore, so she focused on a basket near them and cast the spell again, careful not to think of Cora as she banished. Wouldn't want to send a ball at her too, now would we? She stood a little taller from her crouched position and said in an even, mild voice, "Depulso." She watched as her purple ball flew through the air towards the basket at a much safer velocity this time. It fell just a little short, bounced a few times, then rolled up again the bottom of the basket. Well that was closer at least. Cora jumped a bit, easily startled as always. Clearly her sitting off to the side had not gone unnoticed. Oh, well. At least it's just Eliza. Cora kept her arms wrapped around her legs, but smiled at Eliza. She always seemed to be there when Cora was out of sorts. "Yes. I'm fine, thanks. Just didn't feel much up to doing this activity today." Cora shrugged, trying to stay cheerful. She wanted to tell Eliza what was bothering her, but NOT HERE.
Looking towards Eliza's ball, she added, "I usually try to banish the ball a little further than the basket. I'm not sure why, but it worked for me." Cora wanted to be helpful, and was trying to change the subject, giving Eliza a "I'll tell you later" look. SPOILER!!: Daichi Quote:

She seemed to be talking to a girl who was sitting on the ground and alarm bells seemed to rinkle in his head. Was the girl hurt? The Slytherin looked around for the Professor and then quickly ducked and moved swiftly to the two girls. "hit someone else again?" he joked to Eliza first before looking down at the other Ravenclaw. " are you okay?" Cora's cheeks immediately became red. Oh no. Now someone else noticed me?! She looked up at the Slytherin, who she had definitely seen but hadn't met. "Oh, um. I-I'm fine." Oh, great. REAL convincing. "It's just, I don't really feel well." Cora said with a try for a smile. Cora was trying to cover up for what was really wrong. But to be honest, Cora actually didn't feel well. "Don't worry about me. Thank you though. I'm Cora." Cora said sweetly. Of course she would be polite and introduce herself. Something about Cora did feel a bit off. Her head was spinning a bit, but Cora didn't want to cause a fuss. SPOILER!!: Ethan! Quote:

Ethan started in the direction his ball went and saw it on the ground near where Cora was sitting. Why was she on the ground with Eliza and a Slytherin boy crowded around her? He furrowed his brow slightly and stepped closer. "Is everything okay?" he asked with a hint of concern to the little group, his eyes landing on Cora. She wasn't hurt, was she? Did his ball hit her? Cora's eyes drifted to a ball that landed close to where she sat. Curious, she looked up in the direction the ball came from, and saw Ethan, walking towards her, concern written all over his face. Cora's eyes lit up, and then she frowned. Now, even Ethan would see her sitting out. "Oh, hi Ethan. It's nothing. I'm fine, thanks." Cora eyes fell to the ground. "I'm just not quite feeling well." Cora hated for all the attention to be on her, but she could hardly fake things. She was an AWFUL liar. And while some things were bothering her, mainly the fact that she had ACTUALLY been jealous, she couldn't quite ignore the slight dizzy feeling she felt. Cora's face was a bit pale as she looked at the three concerned classmates. Can't everyone just ignore me? Did Cora really mean that?
