It was actually rather brilliant. Obviously Professor Trent wanted them to understand the difference it made when one had an advantage via wordless magic... But even with the warning, how was she meant to know when Lenora would throw the ball? It made dodging slightly easier as she knew where the attack was coming from, but had she not been able to see at all she could have missed her mark to jump.

Fortunately, she was peeking. And so when Lenora threw the ball, Nina jumped out of the way with a tiny SQUEAK.

Nothing to see here. She was fine.

Wait. Wait. WAIT.

How did she miss that? Lenora just stared at the Slytherin, the disappointment clearly written on her face. It wasn’t even possible. Okay, look. She wasn’t a sore sport generally but this was embarrassing, especially when she had felt SO confident that her throw would hit target. The girl walked a little closer to Nina, nodding towards the ball that was lying somewhere nearby. “Would you mind throwing it back to me, please?” Because she had another throw left, yeah?

.....

Hold on. Her brows furrowed, Lenora suddenly noticed Nina’s blindfold.. which looked ridiculously loose. No. OMG. O.M.G. So, Nina had been able to see where the ball was coming from?? What EVEN? Did the Slytherin really think that she wouldn’t find out? Ugh. Lenora bit her lip, incredibly annoyed but oddly enough, a little amused too.

More annoyed than amused, just to be clear.

“You wouldn’t mind tying your blindfold a little tighter, would you?” She raised an eyebrow, hands on her hips. She had wanted to finish this activity as soon as possible but Nina made everything so difficult. As per usual.
