Alice, her grandma, and Wanda went to her bedroom to practice and learn all the secrets about her power from the best mentor. The three women sat on the bed gracefully. Alice and her grandmother squatted in a comfortable position for their work.

"Are you ready my dear?"

"Yes Grandma"

Queenie explained to Alice that the first thing, the first exercise she should learn is how to open and close her mind.

'' Grab my hands and close your eyes.'' The girl did as she was told. ''You will only hear my voice and only follow my instructions. The first thing you need to learn is how to open your mind and consciously penetrate the mind of the person you desire. Is that clear enough?''

''Yes.'' The girl said.

Alice first tried to penetrate her grandmother's mind, not someone else's she didn't know through the tower. At first, she grimaced trying to read the mind of the woman standing before her. Time passed but she couldn't, she hadn't managed to open her mind or read Queenie's thoughts.

Her grandmother constantly encouraged her with consoling words that did not, however, hide the seriousness of the situation.

''AHH.''

''Be patient my pie. You will succeed.''

'' Easy for you to say. You can control your power. AHH. How hard can it be?''

''Pretty hard pie, but you will do this. Don't be angry.

''I am sorry, I took it out on you when you didn't do anything. It's just. I am so sick of not being able to control it and when I finally try I can't. What is wrong with me? I mean we have been here for at least one hour and a half and I wasn't able to do anything.''

Just then Wanda suggested taking a break from her practice and trying to relax. She even offered to get them some snacks from the kitchen in case it helped them find a solution.

''Great idea. Don't bring too much to eat though, 'cause my Jacob is going to cook lunch for everyone.'' The sweet tone of Queenie's voice was heard.

''Well,'' Alice turned her head to Wanda. ''When you try my Uncle's cooking, trust me you won't want to eat from anyone else. He is amazing.'' The girl laughed and went to the luxurious kitchen of the Stark tower leaving the two women to discuss legilimens.

''What is troubling you pumpkin?''

''My power.'' Alice glanced at her Grandma afraid to even let the words fall from her mouth. ''I am scared to death. What if I won't be able to control it?''

As long as Alice continued her irrationality, her grandmother, more calmly, tried to reduce her stress who seemed to take control of her thoughts and body. Suddenly, as the incessant questions continued, she yelled her name, bringing her back to reality.
