This lesson was starting to shape up to be rather theory heavy, which Nina appreciated very much. Activities were only useful in some instances, and unlike some of her other Professors, the Headmaster knew there was always a time when their lessons would be better suited for lectures. She liked him for that. As for the discussion at hand, it was incredibly intriguing. Intent was often tricky because one couldn’t exactly measure it. Vertasium helped in a way that muggles could not replicate, but motive was often times less black and white than one would hope for it to be. Even with the truth. Though maybe it wasn’t intent that made this so difficult, but instead how lines were drawn.
Which is why the next question posed to the class brought Nina even further into her thoughts. Unlike some of her classmates, Nina had a very clear idea of what was right and wrong. Her morals didn’t always align with those others held, but she had a standard. Rules were meant to be followed, that’s why they were in place. Though… some rules were ridiculous and that’s where Nina often found herself stuck. Because were ridiculous rules still meant to be followed? Yes. Rules were rules, were they not? However, when it was a matter of life or death, maybe this changed things. The Slytherin was sure that if the situation called for it, she would use self defense rather than die at the mercy of another’s wand. But hypotheticals were difficult to navigate. She wasn’t entirely sure what she would do in the scenario as there was something she clearly thought she would do, but whether or not that would be the reality… Questionable. Even she knew to admit this to herself.
And although she would have much rather sat down, written notes, and continued thinking for the entirety of the lesson, she wasn’t terribly upset at the announcement of the activity. It didn’t sound incredibly engaging, but surely there would be a purpose to it. She trusted Headmaster Trent. Perhaps because he was very pretty, but maybe for other reasons too.
She waited until the others walked up to get their parchment before making her way up to the front of the room herself and grabbing some parchment. With slight hesitance in her step, she made her way over to the photo station, waiting her turn before standing in front of the camera. If this were a mugshot, then they weren’t meant to smile, yes? So she stood and gave the camera a practiced pout before walking off to retrieve the shot.
