Turning in a slow circle, she doesn't hide her inspection (though it's without apparent judgement or any real scrutiny, just cursory), giving him her back. It serves as a chance for her to make a face at her behavior, and at her own expense, unobserved. "Would you mind if I-" The last portion of whatever she was about to say is bitten off. She's attempting a much more casual affect when she looks over her shoulder to Severus again. "Maybe I should go back to my room."
