If this wasn't a dim-lit classroom with a creepy music and conversation about defense against something, Louisa's reaction might've been lighter. But since this was the case, the head girl yelped and started kicking with all her strength, her hand going for her wand and "PROTEGO!" You could actually hear the shield forming! "LUMOS!" She needed to see what kind of threat she was defending herself from, and thanks to everybody's answers, there seemed to be too many to count!

Vivi. It was the president's daughter.
She was stabbed in the eye with a wand. She was blinded by a Lumos right in her face. And all because she was just trying to be helpful. Lesson learned... everyone in this blasted school was nutters.

Vivi shoved off Louisa and tried to scramble back onto her mat and into her lotus position. It was a good thing the room was so dark, to hide the burning of her cheeks and the ugly glares being thrown in the general direction of the Head Girl and anyone who dared make a peep about this incident. Not actual glares at Louisa, considering Vivi was blind and all.

And that would be so much easier than thinking of a profound, thought-out answer.

So, he was about to answer, when a commotion to his side caught his attention. From what he could guess, that blonde girl had jumped the Head Girl, who had resorted to magic to get the blonde girl away from her.

There was Jake's answer, then. "Women." He said loudly, pointing his arm straight out to point at the two girls. Yes. You needed to protect yourself from women. The reasoning behind his answer should have been obvious.
OH REALLY? Irrational anger bubbled up to cover the mortification, and Vivi glared now in the direction of the voice. Women? WOMEN?

Of all the sexist, rude, idiotic things to say when a girl was just trying to ohm her way to self actualization and stuff... Vivi un-lotused again, whipped off the tennis shoe that was making the position so uncomfortable anyway, and chucked it at the boy in question.

"Merlin defend me from... from Gryffindors!"
