It wasn't like she didn't do her homework, or take her assignments seriously. She never goofed off in class and always followed the rules. She always practiced politeness and hardly ever rolled her eyes at other students (this was QUITE a practice in self-control).

Nina Castillo may not have been fine, but it was no one else's business!

Professor Sandhu's tone made Nina feel very small. The Slytherin even visibly shrunk in her chair. "Nothing is bothering me, Professor," she tried again. Her voice sounding far more confident than she actually felt. She didn't want to talk to a Professor about any of this. It wasn't fair. Again she shook her head to deny the offer of tea.

She didn't want tea and she didn't want to have this conversation.

Simran had learned many things over the years, but tragically none of those things had quite hammered out the Gryffindor stubbornness. Sure, she had outgrown most chaotic tendencies and was no longer allowed to go bungee-jumping in most places, but one thing she was good at is digging her heels into the ground. And also observing people. But mostly digging her heels in.

Was she budging? No. "Nothing at all?" she said, and the disappointment wasn't entirely feigned. No, not quite. "Well, if the academic workload isn't enough, I suppose I have been under-assigning work. Worry not! I've got dozens of worksheets on every subtopic you could imagine!"

She hadn't considered it until just that moment, but OWL-preparation did begin in fourth year! This way she could halve the workload of fifth-year revision work, but she'd just make this threat seem one-sided. For now. The fifth years still needed the worksheets, but whether this current group of fourth years needed it next term remained to be seen. Oh, if it was appropriate to cackle, she would!
