‘Looking sharp as ever, Castillo.’
Did everyone hear that? Nina was positively delighted and her cheeks may have shown a tinge of pink, too. Looking sharp was very important to her and it was nice when others noticed the effort she put in (especially when it came from Headmaster Trent). If anything, the compliment made her carry herself with more confidence than usual, chin held high. All was as it should be. Kaiser’s smile helped too and she matched it with one of her own. She was in high spirits for once, it seemed.
But it wasn’t long before their Headmaster began addressing the class as a whole. Nina payed very close attention. Paying attention wasn’t anything she had difficulty with, her focus was quite refined. However, it was even easier to do when the receiver of said attention was a man as handsome as their Headmaster was. It clearly payed to be pretty.
His question provoked several thoughts. There were many activities that one could (or rather, should) preform silently. Among them were activities such as reading, listening to others, and perusing through the library. And most of her other classmate seemingly had no issue coming up with their own ideas. There was a first time for everything, it seemed. Though the question had been a rather basic one, perhaps they’d have less luck as the lesson progressed. But for now, most answers were at least somewhat decent. All except for the one that the Gryffindor Prefect had offered forth. That particular answer elicited an eye-roll from one Nina Castillo. How the girl was ever made a Prefect with lazy thinking such as that was absolutely miraculous. Clearly the administration ought to take more into account when appointing student leaders.
Wearing an unimpressed look after the last ew answers offered up, Nina raised her own hand deciding that she ought to contribute to restore Professor Trent’s faith in his students. Or at least to show off because she liked it when he complimented her. ”Silence is conducive to focus,” someone else had shared a similar thought, but Nina found their lack of explanation hardly helpful at all. ”Which would make it the ideal environment for tasks that require heavy focus, such as mindful meditation or the mastery of a difficult spell.” Nina practiced meditation every night before bed, so she knew what she was talking about.
