"Francesco!" Because yes, the Gryffindor was getting ready to splatter someone else in food. Next to shooting each other down that time they flew over the lake, this had to be one of the most epic Astronomy classes she'd had. Never mind the fact she couldn't actually find the connection with food fighting and Astronomy. That didn't matter. A little fun never hurt anyone. She caught
Thorton's frown but before she could respond, she heard her name being yelled over the masses.
Zeke?
"Arrr Matey?" Did she speak Pirate just now? Yup. Why not? When in Rome, right? The Professor--no matter how mental, had made her second in command, given her ice-cream and the power to shoot at it people. She'd build him a bloody plank if he asked her to!
Which reminded her...where was that list she'd been writing for him?
Watching Ethan fire, Lex, finally remembered her own mush of food she'd pureed before Zeke caught her attention. He was in green and fair game. Good enough for her.
"Depulso!" She sent the crushed peach much hurtling in his direction and waited for the satisfying splat she'd been hearing for the past half an hour. Hate to say it, but it was music to her ears...you know, next to the shouts of displeasure and ...and...hang on why was Kyroh casting Aguamenti? Surely the kid wasn't that slow?
Sweet Circe that was a lot of yelling.
This second in command wouldn't work if he started going on like she was a personal assistant. Alexa played no such roles and the Professor needed to cool it a little. What was he even on about?--OHHHH his sword.
The wand.
He thought she was giving it back?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one

She wouldn't be able to aim at people if she gave it back and he'd actually be able to hurt others so the Gryffindor did the next best thing, she conjured a shiny metal rod. Might hurt like Merlin knows what if it smacked someone but no permanent damage; it didn't have that much weight.
"Yer new shiny sword, Cap'n, polished with the sweat 'a yer enemies!" Always the helpful Smee, see?
