"Alright..." he replied taking her 'do it' as permission to make his move. "Flippendo!" he cast, his wand moving into the squiggly line that his hand directed it in his attempt at the knockdown jinx.
Louisa's eyes saw his hand move and her mind froze. So did her wand-hand. She might as well crouch or jump away instead of blocking the spell. What happened was the obvious though, she'd tripped over and was on her butt in a second, staring up at Gideon.

No reasonable explanation to her backing away. She was going to unfreeze her mind this time, she promised her butt - since it was the one to be receiving the consequences.
