Nina Castillo was VERY nervous all of the sudden. Though she had made the conscious decision to arise to Eiji’s challenge, she hadn’t given the action ample thought. Meaning that she had only realized the consequences of such an action once it was too late to backtrack. She did try, however, to backtrack, that is. The like um maybe was meant to do just that.
And despite Professor Sissay’s encouragement, Nina Castillo was very upset. Because the Hufflepuff Prefect who had answered after Nettie gave an answer that not only challenged her own, but did so with malice. Despite the fact that Archer had come after her answer, Nina took it very personally. She may not have looked it, but the fourth year was incredibly sensitive. And hearing the words ‘Nina has it completely wrong,’ followed by ‘she hasn’t even accounted for’ just about did it. It made the Slytherin feel small and insignificant. The one time she had actually spoken in class with insight to offer, she was immediately shut down. And despite Patrick’s attempt at peacekeeping and Trinetta’s counter-argument in Nina’s defense, the light had still drained from the fourth year’s eyes.
Nina could think of a million arguments as to why Archer was wrong to say any of what she did. Of course water has a consistent chemical formula, but that was simply one component and couldn’t possibly be used as a generalization. Fructose, mannose, and glucose all had the same molecular formula. But they were most certainly not the same. They each had different tastes, different impacts on one’s blood sugar, found in different sources… She could go on and on. Chemical formulas also negated the possibility of an enantiomer. Formulas could be similar, but the molecule could have completely different biological effects dependent on the chirality. A chemical formula certainly meant something, but it couldn't be made the entire basis of systematization. So no. Archer’s argument was completely two-dimensional and insufficient and Nina…. Wasn’t going to verbalize any of these thoughts.
Because her feelings were hurt. And this was the last time she would ever speak up in class. She had firmly decided.
Eiji’s warm smile and score card, while sweet, didn’t help much either. She gave him a half-baked smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, before turning her attention to a spot just beyond their Professor. She didn’t want to engage in the rest of the lesson…. When they were given the go ahead to cast the number revealing spell, Nina distractedly picked up her wand. With very little conviction, she looked up at the clouds above, ”Emfanizou Arithmou” and tried the spell. But unfortunately nothing happened. Again she tried, ”Emfanizou Arithmou,” this time a stream of numbers revealed themselves before quickly disappearing. Though she didn’t have enough time to jot them down before they had disappeared, she did have a chance to glaze her eyes over them. 6993633. ”Emfanizou Arithmou,” again due to the lack of focus the numbers quickly disappeared, but she remembered enough of the last set to know that the numbers had slight variation. 9766843.
