Her turn. Right. Who's head was she supposed to hold it over? She took a look at them both and decided it would be Evolette. Nico was just as bad as he when it came to visual perfection and cleanliness. From the looks of Evolette, she was probably the same way, but she didn't know her so what the hay.
"Wingardium Leviosa", she said firmly, watching as the balloon rose and moved slowly over Evolette's head. Charms wasn't her best subject, but she'd been practicing this spell since she was 10. She was sure that a maniacal muggle would come into the classroom and chop off her wand hand before she messed up this spell. She counted to ten and slowly set the water balloon back on the table.
Phew.
Nicholai watched, still on his feet, with his arms folded across his chest as Camira successfully hovered the balloon above Evolette's head. A sudden thought occurred to him and he glanced at the professor curiously.
They could have just as easily practiced levitating the balloons over their
own heads...had she intended that little Gryffie prefect moment to happen? This way though...he supposed they were having to learn to trust each other. Did he trust Camira and Evolette? Well Evolette yes- even though he probably shouldn't. He didn't really know Camira well enough to trust her but she didn't mess up just now
or choose him as her target.

Phew. She had not dropped the balloon over her head. As far as Evolette was concerned, that was a very good thing.
"If you are worried, you could always impervius your hair." Nicholai raised an eyebrow as Evolette squeezed her eyes shut, "But then I doubt you'd look like a drowned rat like some unfortunate people." Nicholai glanced over at Cale before turning back to the Slytherin girls.

One thing about his housemates is that they
did appreciate the world being a beautiful place. They were only doing their part to keep that beauty in the world. A sardonic smile traced his lips; Evolette and Camira would get along fine now that Camira had fed Evolette's ego.
"My turn again." Nicholai remarked, and decided he'd give it a go non-verbally. Being particularly careful that he was doing the correct wand movements, Nico levitated the balloon and directed it over Camira. It wobbled a bit and Nicholai held it for the required 10 seconds before directing it back to the desk. He glanced up and shot a smile at Mari when he saw her where upon the balloon caught a corner and burst on the ground.
Luckily it had burst
away from the three of them and they were still completely dry.
"Sorry about that," Nicholai made an apologetic smile at Camira and Evolette. Non-verbals were something he found alot easier with the adrenaline of a duel than in a charms classroom.
