Elise's POV:

I could hear voices. They spoke in a low hushed voice, trying not to wake me.

The bed was uncomfortable but not so uncontrollable that I couldn't sit still and listen to the voices. "We have do something Dumbledore" it was Dippet, who was exasperated.

"Dippet do you really want to send her away when she can hurt more people? I certainly don't think so." He voice that I presume was Dumbledore's, which was soft, warm but very strict. "No. But she has to learn to control them."

"I couldn't agree more." Dumbledore was triumphant, I had hold in all my excitement so I wouldn't fist pump the air in joyous agreement.

"Now if Miss Hawthorn is ready..open your eyes" I mentally punch myself. Of course Dumbledore knew I was awake. Nothing passed him.

I slowly open my eyes to find Dumbledore smiling and Dippet frowning slightly.

"Elise, we are delighted to tell you that we can teach you how to control some aspects of your magic." Dumbledore seems pleased with this small piece of hope. "I'm really sorry for what I did" I look down, almost guilty.

"My child you don't have to be sorry. These things happen" Dumbledore perches on the end of the bed. A sympathetic look in his eyes.

"You need to learn to control your magic. Or it will-"

"DUMBLEDORE NO" Dippet snaps sternly.

Dumbledore nods and smiles to me. "We shall leave you in the care of the nurses"
