Norah opened her mouth to protest but closed it again quickly as not to draw any attention to herself from this meany professor. TWO points? She hadn't even done anything! She stuck her tongue out at her parchment as she started to record what Professor Walton had said about bouncing bulbs. The second year eyed the cart apprehensively. Those things didn't LOOK like they could do anything harmful, but neither did the professor and it turned out he was meeeean.

Norah took a deep breath and eyed the cart. She'd be fiiiine. She stuck her nose confidently in the air and took a slow step towards the cart, exhaling steadily. A peek at the cart informed her that she was doing well, so she proceeded with another two slow steps in its direction until she was standing just a few centimeters away. She looked at Professor Walton and then back down at the bulbs. They seemed to still be laying there limply as before. That was good, right?
