Nem was fine and content back at their original table, having done their part with collecting and returning the fidget spinners, ready to sit the rest of this one out. Nothing personal to Finneas Schmoe, it was just that Nem's interest waned with every passing second, no matter where they were or what they were doing, and they didn't have much to work with in the first place. Best for their professors to have no further expectations than for them to just turn up, sit quietly, and leave at the very end of the lesson. At least the Headsman had no grounds to have them make up all their missed classes - unnecessarily, mind you, and wasting their time in the process.

Suffice it to say, Nem didn't move or speak when the time came to start exploring the muggle gadgets and tools, only watched the others dispassionately and idly tried to work out if they'd have cared about any of this last week, last month, last year, or maybe the year before. Impossible to say.

Propping their chin up in one hand, and tracing triangles on the desk with the index finger of the other, Nem maintained their silence as the class continued. They could think of several things, actually, numerous annoying inconveniences that could be solved with simple spells, approximately half of which they knew were best left unsaid right now. For instance, if there was a hypothetical individual who wanted to study thestrals, it would be annoyingly inconvenient if they couldn't actually see them. One simple spell - quick flash of green light - and the problem was solved, and maybe that hypothetical individual would have all sorts of doors opened for them, even without factoring the thestrals in. It was almost immaterial in this context, because though muggles could see the creatures if they met that major requirement, most didn't know about them, let alone covet the chance to study them.

Would have been a valid answer all the same.
