While dodging balloons Lex thought of the freezing that would happen if she was to get one popped. The fact Benjamin was completely non-responsive made it clear to her that she wouldn't be taking any chances. Nope. Her darted quickly to the little Ravenclaw that had had a panic attack that one time in Astronomy when Airey made them all run around in bubbles. Was she afraid og circular objects...or magic....? And yes, there was a BIG difference between the two.

Facing forward again, she only narrowly missed a balloon that was coming right at her face. "Whoa!" That was a close one. Nearly had her there for a moment.

Lex straightened in time to see another hurtling toward her, this one she didn't duck to avoid but held out her hands to catch. Kinda made her think of Charms class and how they'd have been able to use Aresto Momentum to slow these suckers down first. Bet that could have done a lot of people some good.

Wasting no time, she squared to the rectangle again and thrust the water balloon through the air with a squishy 'whoosh' sound before the big SPLAT.
