Dumbledore came bursting in through the door. "What happened!" he roared.
I explained to him and all of the other Gryffindor students about the enounterance with the cactus guy. "I knew it," mumbled Dumbledore, "Severus!" he said more loudly. Snape pushed through a crowd of kids to be by Dumbledore.
"Yes, sir?" he asked darkly.
"Commence Occulmency lessons with Justin at once!" Dumbledore ordered. Snape reached out, grabbed me, and yanked me down to my office. I looked like a bumbling idiot in my footed penguin pajamas, but it was the fact that everyone was whispering about the "possessed little girl who can fly and is being chased by Voldemort" that was irking me.
Snape threw me down into a chair. "Now, clear your mind and try to block it from all penetration," he said. He pointed a wand and said a spell I didn't understand. I suddenly felt as if I were hit in the head with a jackhammer. My head went black until I saw something hazy. Eventually, everything came into focus.
"Dude, I can own you at wheelies," I said to my friend Chaz like a show-off.
"Okay, dude, I dare you to do one right in front of Jasmine over there," Chaz replied. He pointed to Jasmine Villegas, my crush since the second grade.
"No way," I replied.
"Then you can't own my wheelies," he shrugged.
Determined, I hopped on my bike and powered over to Jasmine. As I yanked the handlebars up, I felt my wheelie take form. But something didn't feel right. I looked down so see myself flipping in the air. Then, BANG. I landed on my back. Jasmine laughed at me as my face turned doll pink.
Then, the image faded. I was a boy scout now. I was hoisting a flag up a flagpole with my friend Ryan. I bent over to grab some extra rope when I felt something tug at my pants. All of a sudden I was being hoisted up the flagpole instead of the flag. Kicking, screaming, and crying, I flailed in the wind at the top of the pole.
Then, everything went black and I saw Snape again. "Pathetic," he mumbled, "Try again. Clear your mind and block me with all force."
This time, I really tried. But instead, something backfired. I was in Snape's memories now. He was kissing some woman that looked really familiar. She pulled away and I saw her. It was my mom. They began kissing again. I pulled out quickly.
"YOU MADE OUT WITH MY MOM?!" I yelled, shocked.
Snape turned red. "No, I didn't. Sometimes Occulmency shows you the heart's desire."
"What the hell..." I stared with my eyes wide open.
"I never loved anyone more that Lily Potter. But, there was your mother. She never considered me of course, but a man can hope," he said dreamily.
"You're sick," I said, getting up and leaving. Not watching where I was going, I tripped over my footed pajamas and landed in a pile of potion flasks.
"NO!" Snape yelled.
I began to feel funny. I felt extremely painful in one place, and really ticklish in the other. I began to laugh and cry uncontrollably and started rolling around on the ground. My voice changed and I sounded like a chipmunk. My hands began to turn purple. Then, I blacked out.
