She had been trying to get a new bridle, but saying the words had brought the one closest to them and the one attached to the horse, which was now coming at them and she just ducked when it was.... gone. Looking around she sighed and then looked to the headmaster, "Thanks"

Why did she always feel dumber after this class. All her other classes she felt like she got over the years but this one was the hardest for her. She was never good at dueling because she never wanted to hurt anyone and clearly she was horrible at protecting since she didn't even do a great job with a fake horse. She gave the two third years an apologetic look and hoped maybe they found someone better for the job.

Listening to the headmaster made her want to sneak back to the castle and forget the rest of the lesson. She would want to pet them or touch them, she always got distracted and interested when creatures were involved. Her head wasn't in classes as it was at the moment, but she didn't leave she just stayed and listened. Soon after the instructions Chloe went to join the purple team.
