There were options here.
Cause a ruckus to draw attention to the younger delinquent, affording Nicky a clear path back to her own bed. Announce her presence before the girl got them both caught. Have some fun at the kid's expense. So many options. Twirling her wand between her fingers, she leaned against the cold stone, the fainted light reflecting in her green eyes.
After watching the unfortunate creature create more mess as she tried to clean, Nicky stepped out from her spot. "You're going to get us both caught out. Stand still."
And with that, the older girl flourished her wand and cleaned the floor and the girl's shoes.
Aslan was not known for being very alert or aware of her surroundings, she was possibly the easiest person to sneak up on in the whole castle now that Airey Flamsteed had gone (he'd been quite notorious for being easily shaken). She had believed that she was getting better, but as Nicky Iver suddenly came into her peripheral vision Aslan realized she was quite wrong. The blonde was not unknown to her, but they were anything but friendly thanks to a moment of honesty which had gained the Gryffindor Nicky's ire.
It was a problem, her honesty and something she was also trying to improve on.
"Stand still?" Aslan calmly repeated, her dark eyes hard as she watched the other girl wave her wand. She was slow, too slow to have even tried to block her, but her frustration only skyrocketed as the cleaning spell took root. Aslan glared, dark eyes burning with dislike. "I didn't need your help." She answered simply, still gripping her cypress wand.
She fwlt belittled and didn't like it one bit.
