It's All in Your Head - Fifth Years

Lisette strolled into the mind arts classroom, making a point of sitting down on the center mat. She wasn't going to be made a fool of again today. So before anyone else walked in, she threw her stuff in the corner and crossed her legs, closed her eyes, and tried to concentrate.

Needless to say, it was far from easy. Every time she managed to clear her head, thoughts about her friends, and shoes, and whatever else came rushing back to her. She took in long, deep breaths, focusing only on that.

After awhile, the only thing occupying her mind was the steady rise and fall of her chest. Without realizing it she had stopped caring altogether about what her hair looked like or what people were thinking about her. Instead, everything was calm and clear. It was nice.

Footsteps oddly light as he headed towards the Mind Arts classroom, Julian rubbed his forehead. Well, at least he felt awake, though that thought didn't do much to comfort him.

Shaking his head softly, he entered the classroom, being careful to make as little noise as possible as his gaze fell on Lisette. Sitting on a mat near the door, trying very hard to concentrate. Which he later found to be impossible, as his thoughts kept drifting off.

Groaning inwardly, he laid down on the mat, frowning up at the ceiling.

Harmonie slipped into the Mind Arts classroom silently, though she did think it would be funny to spray water in someone's face why they were "meditating" or whatever it was that this Professor insisted on doing. Taking a deep breath, she sat in the corner of the room on a mat, opposite to Julian. Her gaze flickered quickly over him and Lisette.

They looked completely opposite, one troubled, the other relatively peaceful. It was unusual for Harmonie to see the other girl so tranquil. It looked nice, to be so calm.

Deciding she may as well give it a shot, Harmonie closed her eyes and crossed her legs, trying to listen to her own breathing but instead caught onto the other students' in the room.

Collin strolled into mind arts checking things out, once again he was going to have to put up with Julian, he really hated that guy.

This time he knew to find a seat on the mat and closed his eyes to concentrate on clearing his mind, there were so many on his mind at the moment so it would take time.

The main thing on his mind was his brother and how he had come unglued in the dining hall, he needed t get that boys straight.

Clearing his mind he waited for the teacher.

Mora stepped out of her office and into the classroom, nodding at the students. "That's very good meditation. Now, please pay attention. Lecture's on the schedule for today." She sat in her bean bag chair and smiled at the students, brushing her blond hair out of her eyes. "Right. What do you guys know about Legilimency?"

Pulling himself up into a sitting position, he glanced over at the teacher. Stretching, he tilted his head as he thought, "Isn't it when you read others' minds?" he asked.

He had to admit, Legilimency sounded absolutely amazing. It would be fun to know what people thought.
