They nodded thoughtfully. “Excellent choices, Ms. Dolph. Both spells will indeed buy you some time that could see you making an escape.” The professor’s gaze lingered on Maria’s and Kion’s hands before nodding to the Gryffindor. “Brilliantly thought out,’’ they remarked, quite pleased with the creativity of the answer. Now listen. Dhruv loved love as much as the next open minded person but there was a time and place for everything. To subtly let the lovers know, they casually moved to their desks. “Hand holding can be done after the lesson, I think.” The words were said quietly and a slight smirk.
When Professor Khanna came over to their desk's, and told her, and Kion to stop holding hand's Maria gave Kion a quick glance before feeling her face warm up like light bulb with rosy pink embrrassment. Quickly withdrawing her hand from Kion's she mumbled in response to their professor eyes downcast. "Sorry Professor Khanna. We will of course stop, and keep our full focus on the lesson. I promise!"

To do just what she promised Maria wrote down notes of her other peer's answers to the troll question. She was a good student. Hopefully not too many of her peers saw her flushed face as she watched the flipendo demonstration. The incantation was easy enough, it was the wand movement that could potentially be a bit tricky with the hook at the end.

When it was time to practice she started practicing the incantation first. "Fli-PEN-doh, Fli-PEN-doh, Fli-PEN-doh." several times to make sure she memorized it well enough to cast it. Then she practiced the wand movement 5 times trying to get the right movement with the small check mark, and hook at the end to become a fluid motion. First attempts felt bad, but they got better by the end of the practice session. She didn't risk stealing a glance at Kion's practicing or ask him for help since she didn't want to get either of them in more trouble.
