Though he couldn't wipe the frown off his face and his arm crossing was getting progressively tighter across his chest.
... So he wasn't in trouble? Zander only slightly raised a brow, curious as to why he was actually here in the first place. If he wasn't in trouble and she didn't actually need his help, then why in Merlin's name had she wanted to see him? Then as if she could read his mind which he had recently learned is not the case in most instances, cough davie truebridge cough, she went on to explain. Sort of.
It was clear that she noticed his less than enthusiastic behavior in class.... And she wanted to help? "I'm not stressed," LOL biggest lie of the century, probably. "It's just those stupid nonverbals. I can't do them." Was it allowed to say the word stupid in front of a Professor? Because Zander had momentarily forgotten proper Office etiquette. Ahem. Sorry, Prof. He wasn't normally like this. He was usually in a better, goofier mood.
Stupid nonverbals?
Astrid raised an eyebrow at the boy. And he wasn't stressed. Haha. Okay. She'd seen him in class, she wasn't blind. The brunette was going to let him be. No need to make things worse. What she wanted was to hopefully make things better. "You can do them," she said confidently. Sure not at the moment, that was fairly obvious, but she BELIEVED. And she believed in him. "Have you ever attempted a nonverbal prior to my lesson?" If he hadn't it would explain today. If he had, he just needed more practice. "If you haven't, that is okay. Today was just so I can see where my students are, and so I can offer guidance." She paused, giving him an almost apologetic smile. "I did not intend to make you feel in any negative manner. I can help you with nonverbals out of class if you need more practice," she offered. Because, upper classmen were going to be required to cast nonverbal spells in all of her lessons.
They should have started that their sixth year.
