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!
"No," Slytherins could be quite stubborn too, perhaps for different reasons entirely. But Nina Castillo was not planning to admit anything. She was being targeted! It wasn't fair. Evidently she'd have to do the same thing she was doing in potions in order to get Professor Sandhu off of her back, a rather unfortunate circumstance as she hated failing her lessons on purpose. It hurt a part of her soul each time she was given a failed assignment. It was far more gratifying to receive the O and then change it to a P herself.

But her eyes must have opened ten-fold with what the Astronomy Professor said next. What was with it with Professors and offering more assignments? It was as if they were trying to make their students unhappy. Nina frowned a little bit, though she nodded obediently.

She didn't want extra work, but if it would mean that her Professor would get off her case and leave her alone, then she could make a sacrifice.
