Change My Mind (ON HOLD)

Chapter 4

"Wake up, training begins today!" A cheeky curly-haired boy says as he wakes me up. I moan, then turn onto my side. The bed creaked a bit- wait, bed.

"How-?" I started.

"You were tired from running. I took you to this room and-" he began, and stopped when I hit him with a pillow.

"How dare you-" he started when I hit him with another pillow. He grabbed it and hit me back.

"It is so on, curly!" I shouted as a Harry made some weird battle cry. We hit eachother with pillows until the stuffing covered the room. Harry was grinning wider then ever, but then his smile quickly faded.

"We must begin training." He said seriously.

"Wow, new record." I muttered under my breath.

"Excuse me?" He asked, stopping in his tracks.

"All I'm saying is that since you came back you've been different. You're rarely happy, and when you are, it barely lasts a minute. Why?"

He looked at the ground for a while before he answered.

"People change." Was all that he said before walking out of the room. I decided to shrug it off, he could be on his man period or something.

"For your second witch lesson, you will-"

"Wait, second?" I blurted out.

"Thank you for interrupting, and yes. Second. You already know how to channel your power, remember? You started the fire?" Harry asked.

"Dur." I said while facepalming. Some kids sitting next to me started giggling.

"Uh, Harry? Not to alarm you, but there are children in here." I said while pointing to the cute little kids.

"Of course, this is the training center. You take classes with everyone else. These kids are learning to be witches, just like you." He explained.

I nodded, and he went on about magic or something for about 20 minutes.

"Now class, it's time for YOU to do it." He said while getting up to leave the little classroom.

"Me?" One little boy on the left of me asked.

"Yes, all of you." Harry said with a laugh.

We went outside and were supposed to do some sort of water trick. "I'm a little rusty, so forgive me if I fail." Harry said. Of course, he did perfect on his first try. He raised water into the air and watered a small tree. The children all clapped for him.

"Show off." I muttered.

"Alexandra, care to show us how you can do better?" Harry asked while raising an eyebrow. I doubted myself, but I felt that I needed to prove this cocky boyband member that he isn't better than everyone at everything.

"Watch and learn, curly." I said while stepping in front of everybody. I raised my hands up and whispered a spell that I had just made up in my head. It was really just random words in a different language that my mum had taught me in primary school, but it was all that I had.

I opened my eyes to see that the small river next to us was frozen, it was raining and snowing over us, and my hands were directing a giant blob of water that was floating in the air. Well, more like violently shaking in the air.

I looked to Harry for help, but him and the six children just sat there wide-eyed with their mouths hanging open.

"Alexandra, think control! You can do this!" Harry said to encourage me.
