It was obvious it didn't hurt them since they came back at her a few times in that lesson.
She jumped hearing a voice and turned, Mischa what was he doing here and why was she still alone. Where was the other student leaders. She mentally was aware of how quickly she could get her wand if he tried anything, but as she looked at him was..he.. smiling. "Oh.. yeah they can be. You really have to watch them at times." Just as she said it and her focus was on Mischa now still not trusting him she felt pain in her hand. "Oooouch" She mumbled a few words under her breath and looked down to one of the ones that had run from her when she had her wand out now nipping at her.
Shaking her hand she pulled her wand again. "Want to toss this one next?" She looked at her hand before making sure her focus went back to Mischa. He was seeming relaxed and nice, but she still didn't trust him. She knew what she saw even if others didn't believe her. "So I thought you never smiled." She gave him a tight smirk of her own.
Was he smiling? Mischa had not even noticed. It was amazing how easy smiling was for him these days though he was sure he did not do it too often as everyone else. He shrugged at Minerva. He was not going to tell her his reasons for not smiling before.
He knew she did not trust him still and it didn't matter to him. There was not going to be any trouble. Not from him atleast. He was distracted by the gnome which had speedily made it's way to the prefect and before he could say anything had dung it's sharp teeth into her hand.
"Are you okay?'' That was sincere as he had been on the receiving end of a gnome bite but he tried to pass it off as not too concerned with a bored expression on his face. He was not a softie.
"Vhy not?'' Mischa lunged for the gnome which was cowering at the sight of Minerva's wand. Spin around and around and around and release! The gnome flew off landing even farther than the first.
"Satisfying revenge?'' he asked the prefect.
