Jocelyn didn't let it show that she was pleased when her answer was correct, instead being thankful that it had been the answer he was looking for. She was intelligent but generally tended to keep her answers to herself, leaving the know-it-all reputation to Hermione. She only answered when no one else did and she knew the teacher would be insistent on receiving an answer.<br/><br/>She winced inside when he called Ed out, asking him about nonverbal spells. She hoped he would be able to give an answer, but to her dismay, he got detention instead and she internally cursed Snape's dislike of him, although she didn't let it show on her face. She sighed a little to herself and twirled her quill lightly between her fingers as he asked if anyone else could answer. She waited a short time for anyone but Hermione to answer, since it was quite obvious that Snape wouldn't be calling on the girl. Jocelyn finally raised her hand, not keen on the idea of whatever talk they might receive if he got no answer and assumed no one knew the answer. She waited for him to indicate that it was okay before she answered. "If your opponent doesn't know what spell you're casting, it's harder for them to defend themselves against it." she replied before, once again, falling silent.<br/><br/>Once the lesson was finally over she packed up her things and threw her bag over her shoulder, waiting a moment for Ed to pack up before she left so that they could talk on the way to class. "You okay?" she asked him in a voice low enough that it couldn't be heard by anyone else, including Snape, over the chatter of the other students.
