Noticing that it was once again her turn, but they were out of balloons, she shifted on the desk, pointing her wand at a single balloon on the professor's desk, and carefully levitated it over to her, then over the other girl's head.

1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..

With the required ten seconds achieved, she gently placed the balloon back on the desk, and tucked her hair behind her ear. So far so good, and none of them were wet.

So. They'd all mastered the spell. No surprise. They were brilliant. Nico had even done it non verbally. Show-off. She turned to Nico and Evolette. "So. Are we supposed to do it again. I mean, we all did it perfectly so I doubt we need the practice."

"We can always practice with something a little more interesting than water balloons later. Nicholai raised an eyebrow and levitated another balloon with more confidence this time. After the required 10 seconds he let it settle on the desk and prodded it distastefully with his pinky finger.

Please let this work, she thought to herself.

Having Nico standing just a few desks away was not helping. The key to staying focused here would be making sure NOT to look at him before she started. She sighed, that would be hard. It was always so hard not to look at him. Hmmm, maybe just a peek. NO! That would be the end of Allie's dry hair for sure. Okay....focus Astrid! She closed her eyes and tried to think of something else, anything else......

Suddenly she had the perfect image. Cale's wet hair. Haha, that was priceless. Okay, that's better, enough stalling.

She took a few steps back, cleared her throat and pointed her wand at the first balloon. "Wingardium Leviosa" she said clearly. She carefully brought it up, over Allie head and paused.

She furrowed her brow in concentration and started to count. 1, 2, 3, 4 oh, I wonder if Nico is watching, NO! Focus! 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Thank goodness! She watched the balloon make its slow return back onto the desk. She hadn't realized that she had been holding her breath but as soon as it landed, she let it out all at once. "Whew! Did it!" she said. "Your turn, Allie." And with that said, she flipped her hair and turned to give Nico a smile. She deserved that look and was pleasantly surprised when her returned her smile.

Hearing the young Gryffindor he had seen in Professor Kapoor's office exclaim loudly and happily Nicholai shot her a grin; she had looked like something terrible had happened that day but you wouldn't know to look at her now.

She didn't even close her eyes. Instead she watched with pride as Allie lifted the balloon above her head. For second year students, they were doing a great!

Well, maybe she spoke to soon..... Astrid could not believe her eyes! Allie had just hit Jean Raoul in the head. Oh no, Allie, she thought. After the run in they had at the start of term, there was NO way in the world that he would believe that was an accident. Astrid just stood there in shock when she saw Allie prepared to try again. Are you serious! She can't possibly want to do that again! she thought. All of the confidence she had, gone with that one popped balloon.

This time she squeezed her eyes shut hard. Not even a whole second passed and SPLAT! Astrid gasped loudly. "Oh! My! God!" She said. "That is so cold!" She look at Allie, standing there giggling and said, "Nice Allie!"

She couldn't help but giggle a little bit herself. How embarrassing this was. She turned to look at Nico and said just one word, HELP!"

He watched in amusement as her friend splatted one balloon and then followed it up immediately with another on Astrid's head. She didn't look too upset though- overcome with a giggle fit the way she was.

"I'll help you with the Tergeo after class if you like, Astrid." Nico offered before turning to regard Mari once more and smiling again.
