Ooooooooooooooh sweet solstice he had not thought things through very well, had he?
And while he did genuinely want to help the Ravenclaw, his want wasn't entirely selfless. Tears freaked the man out.
"Miss Wright? Miss Wright?" he called out as he slowed his erratic rolling to keep pace with her. Was she claustrophobic? WHY WAS SHE CRYING?! COULD SHE STOP?! "You alright, Miss Wright? If the activity is too much for you you can opt to sit it out."
And then Miss Guidry rolled on up next to them and the professor pondered rolling away since it was clear that the sixth year had far better parental instincts than he did.
Professor Flamsteed rolled over to Penelope. Penelope stopped screaming. Penelope really wanted to get out of the ball thing, but she wasn't sure if she would opt out.
"Professor, I'm claustrophobic," Penelope said. As she was pondering whether or not to opt out of the activity, Jasmine rolled up alongside her.

Jasmine knew that she had better wrap things up quickly because it was becoming quite uncomfortable, fast.
Jasmine continued to duck and dodge the pendulum and her classmates. As she looked to the side, she noticed a young girl appearing to have a major meltdown inside of her bubble. Oh no, it was Penelope the first year that she had met at the feast. Clearly she was in distress because crying and screaming appeared to be involved. Jasmine was so close to the finish line she could almost taste it. She knew that she couldn't just leave the girl so she turned and made a beeline for her bubble.
Rolling up beside Penelope Jasmine asked, "What's wrong?" To top things off it was raining inside Penelope's bubble and she was borderline hysterical. Maintaining a calm tone, Jasmine said, "Penelope look at me". "You're going to be OK. Just try to relax and breathe. The rain will stop when you get to your next season. You've got to keep moving, but first you have to calm down. I'll help you if you want. You can follow me." Jasmine continued to speak soothingly to Penelope, hoping that she would be able to regain control and finish the task.
Penelope looked at Jasmine, took a few deep breaths, stopped crying, and calmed down a little.
"Jasmine, I'm claustrophobic. I'm not sure if I want to stay inside this thing," Penelope said. Having calmed down, Penelope thought about it some more.
"I think I'll try to finish the activity, and follow you."
