The Gryffindor did as he was told, however, and sat down in one of the chairs. Would the be long? Because he wasn't sure how much yelling at he could take at the moment. This day was already awful enough, thanks. Stupid spell. He was doing just fine before they had to try the nonverbal. "I figured," he shrunk down a bit, knowing well what was about to come next. The yelling. He was sure of it. For not being a better example. For failing at the spell. For being a miserable excuse of a Head Boy.
.............. What?
She wanted to make sure he was alright? OF COURSE HE WASN'T ALRIGHT!! He couldn't even get the spell to work ONCE. "Huh?.. Uh, yeah. I'm fine," he crossed his arms over his chest, clearly not alright. Clearly angry. Or upset. Or both. Yeah. Both.
It was obvious he wasn't. The difference between primary prep wizards and teenagers, the former made their frustration clear. Either cried or threw a tantrum. Older kids, they tried to hold it in and try to seem indifferent when their body language said otherwise.
Astrid thought about other approaches. Clearly this was not primary school. Mainly why she was taking on this new challenge, because it was an actual challenge. Teenager. Fuzzy creatures. "Mister Adair, if you think you're here because you're in trouble, please get that out of your mind. You are in no trouble at all," she smiled kindly. She understood being called out to a professor's office. It was all of a sudden, 'Oooh! You're in a load of trouble!' Not in her case. Not this time. "Evidently there was some issue with the lesson today, and I believe that is what has you in this mood at the moment." M'hm, m'hm. She wasn't judging him or accusing him, it was a fact and she preferred to be frank than beat around the tree...or bush? Whatever the term was. She wasn't beating around anything. "And I want to help. How can I help so that next time it is less stressful?" Astrid was being sencere. His learning was important to her. Text Cut: Dante Quote:

Also not letting it anything hit him.
But yeah it was good criticism. "Yeah keeping my eyes open would help immensely. Just getting a clear visual with my eyes open was a little difficult"
But still he had did it. So that was something....right?
That was a good point. Getting a clear picture of something with eyes closed was easier than with eyes open. Astrid nodded in agreement. "You have a point there. Sometimes the smallest things can make an impact." She wondered what his level of success would be with his eyes open.
Levitating the lily back up and placing it back on its vase, Astrid asked, "Would you like to give it a go with your eyes open?" It would be a terrible thing to have him cast the charm with his eyes closed at some other time and having him get HURT. Not on her watch.
