No, Heath was done with being smart. He'd been smart all term, and look what it got him! He wasn’t going to keep holding on to false hope that acting a certain way would keep him safe, but although he’d lost all hope for himself, he still held out hope for Claudine. He wouldn’t act on his anger for her sake, but he wasn’t going to pretend he didn’t feel it either. He’d done enough pretending to be emotionless for one lifetime, and unbeknownst to the professor, his anger did serve a purpose other than getting him into trouble. It kept him from spiraling into despair.
Another good thing about his anger? It kept him too alert to nod off in lessons. He looked to the front of the room, specifically to the board as he considered the question that appeared on it. Every spell he thought of was more damaging than the last… sensory deprivation using Obscuro or a Conjunctivitis Curse (or a combination of the two), transfigure the opponent into an inanimate object, vanish their legs, or sever them… but Peralta asked for a spell to impede an opponent, not permanently incapacitate them. He went with a tamer option. “The Stickfast Hex, Colloshoo,” he said after raising his hand, “impedes an opponent’s movement by sticking their shoes to the ground.”
