You could never be too over the castle for compliments, like ever so of course Lex was grinning when she'd heard she'd gotten it right. It was all in the technique--and the unwillingness to be frozen. Kicking just seemed like the fastest way to get to that part.

The beaming was pushed aside however when she saw another water balloon headed right for her. Given the speed it was going at, she could already tell the impact with her hands would send her an instant immobulus and the Gryffindor quickly jumped out of the way, watching it splatter to the ground next to her. Lex wasn't sure if it was the water inside that made you freeze or just the popping but she avoided the splash altogether.

Face forward again she spotted another and ran to meet it, essentially swiping it from the air. Now she knew all the work the broom went through during Quidditch matches. Merlin!

Once again she took aim but this time she waited as someone ran infront of her to make the same shot. Gosh, people these days. Luckily she had some semblance of patience which paid off in another minute when she thwacked another water balloon against the wall by the rectangle.
