A Witches Battle - Part one

2.8

I looked at Elliot who smiled and then back at the teacher, she must have felt how uneasy I was as she held a kind smile and gestured for me to stand up. After a reassuring squeeze from Elliot I followed her orders.

I slowly stood from my seat, making sure to let go of Elliot -and straighten my skirt- so the entire class could see me clearly. With out needing to be told I took a deep breath trying to calm the nerve for speaking with a shaking voice.

"My name is Lunesta Luna Rose Mordovia, Please Call me Luna. It is a pleasure to meet all of you and I hope that we can all get along." I turned to face the never ending rows of students and smiled brightly with a small wave of my right hand.

A course of hello Luna's sprang out and some people waved back at me, I turned back to the teach who smiled at me with a nod. I knew next came the personal questions and I was not looking forward to it.

"Well, Thank you for that Lunesta... I mean Luna, My name is Lorraine Morgan. I teach The history of the wizarding world, Astronomy -My favourite- and Potions both, reading in, making and spotting symptoms from dangerous ones

"We will do Herbal, Pharmaceutical and magical...I am told this is a strength you are already familiar with?" she realised an eye brow, I nodded to her with a small smile as i sat back down.

"Yes ma'am, M mother was a healer for both animals and Humans. she taught me all she knew and I took over her business after she passed." I heard my voice crack a little, Coughing to cover it up I tried to calm myself down.

"You okay?" I heard Elliot whisper, I nodded my head and looked at him. The Witch closed her eyes and the air shifted a little, opening her eyes she looked at me with a smile.

"I can feel just how proud your mother is of you, you should hold pride of your own... So strong." I blushed as she placed a hand on mind with a small smile.

"Thank you" I said just above a whisper, I swapped the sadness for pride. knowing my mother was proud of me made me feel a lot better. I know My sadness could still be felt when I felt the comforting hand of Draco squeeze my shoulder.

I placed my right hand over his and let a smile slip on my lips, I knew what he was saying I miss her too Lunie.. The room staid quite for a minute as if paying there respects to a fallen witch, the teacher moved and smiled at everyone.

"Okay, Now that we have met our sweet Luna. time to get learning kids! We are doing tarot card so you know what to do." she walked away and raised her hand, with her wand she licked it and the chalk came to life writing on the board.

There where a few groans in the crowed including Elliot and people shuffled to get there cards, Mrs Morgan chucked and she watched with fascination. I blushed realising I didn't have any raising my hand.

"Hush now, You will be thanking me in the future when you need this stuff... Don't worry Luna I haven't forgot about you. Please come on up." I looked at Elliot who winked at me before I stood up.

As I shuffled my way out a hand grabbed my wrist causing me to look down. Draco looked up and smiled at me lightly, Placing a hand on his I bent a little to heard what he had to say.

"Luna, Don't hold back for this. Use all your power." I knew what he meant, I needed to show all my power and no just the hidden parts of it. Not to use a fraction for it like normal but I didn't understand why.

When we were growing up, He helped my mother cover up my powers and teach me to hold back and look weaker then I was. SO why now?

I looked down at him as I stood back up, Confusion written on my face but I nodded to him all the same. He let got and sat back nodding his head to me as I made an escape to aisle and made my way over the the patiently waiting professor at her desk.

"Okay, So as everyone knows Tarot cards are connected to you and your magic. Everyone has been in this position so don't be frightened, you're just going to follow my lead okay?"

I gave her a nod of understanding before looking over the wave of students watching us intently. My heart was beating so fast I was worried that everyone would hear it. Everyone but Draco's Who was smirking looked at me in fascination.

"Right, Ready?" I nodded my head and followed her stance. "Okay so feet together... yes that is very good. Okay not cup your hands like you gathering rains water...Lovely.

"Okay next close your eyes, keep them closed. Focus on your magic, the power that flows through you all of it. Allow it to flow through your hands and think of tarot cards.

"Thinks of there design and how they link with your magic, Link your self and your magic into the future." Nodding in understanding I did as I was told.

I focused on myself, Muting out the class as they chanted away. I understood the chant was the help the flowing to be smoother, I imagined a Gate holding back my magic and opened them freeing it like a tsunami.

My once tense body relaxed as the freeing power washed over me, weight was lifted from my shoulder and my chest felt open like I could breath freely again.
