Ch. 17 Uncomfortable Invasion

"Now, reading tea leaves is far more complicated than reading someone's fortune in the glass spheres." The professor continued, as if nothing happened; proceeding to give us tea pots and tea cups.

Everyone groaned as they smelled the tea, I almost smirked as I downed my tea in two large gulps.

Bellatrix looked down at the tea, looking completely disgusted.

Cissy and I watched as she attempted to drink the gross contraption as she almost spit it out on the table and on top of us. We started laughing uncontrollably as she scowled down at the cup as if it were a Dementor waiting to suck her soul up.

"Has everybody finished drinking their tea?" The professor asked.

To which was replied with groans and moans from different parts of the room.

"Wonderful. Now, you may all begin by taking your cups and looking down at them." She instructed.

I picked my cup up and considered it, almost dropping the cup. I felt the blood drain from my face as I saw a cross, a club and a snake. I quickly took the spoon and moved it around so it represented something else. I watched as the professor checked each cup in the room. When she glanced into mine, there was already an apple and acorn and a cross in it.

When class finished I stood and left without another word to anyone. I made it to the next class which happened to be Defense Against the Dark Arts.

I walked into the room, and quickly sat down in the right side near the back, trying to control the headache that was already beginning to feel. It was as if I had wild pixies pounding inside my head.

I felt myself begin to lose any grasp of control I had on any of my emotions, once more.

As I felt when someone took the seat next to mine. I could feel my powers as they began to run amuck.

I could feel as a knot began to form in the pit of my stomach as I felt my eyes being to cloud with black spots and become distorted.

My head dropped in concentration as I felt sweat bedding on the back of my neck and above my eye brows.

"Annie, a-are you alright? Your hair! It's turned green, blue, red, gold and silver in different sections of your head!" Bella whispered surprised, as she sat down next to me.

I shook my head in response, suddenly becoming speechless; my chest feeling heavy, as if a massive weight was on top, pressing down every time I breathed in.

I felt as someone slipped their hand into mine, winding their fingers into mine and squeezing them slightly.

I looked up to meet Tom's worried gaze before dropping my gaze.

'Anna, relax, I can feel everything you are feeling. Your emotions are getting out of control. Breathe, focus on me. Come on. Do it.' He thought, with a firm edge.

I nodded my head once, and shakingly took in a breath while I tried to get focus on locking to box I stored my emotions once more, feeling my energy begin to wain once more.

I breathed in and tried to relax as I heard glass shatter from the window, any piece of glass that the room contained was left in bits on the ground.

When I opened my eyes, Bellatrix and Tom were the only ones in the room. Aside from Professor Merrythought. I felt as heat began pouring out of my nose and my head began to spin.

"Professor, would it be alright if I escorted Anna to the hospital wing? I believe she's feeling ill." Tom said, as he grabbed me and helped me walk out of the room.
