Amelia's Story Ch.4 B.3

Instructions

I was a few minutes late for class. This was NOT good because Mr. Lupin hates it when I'm late! As I walked in, he glared at me. " Late again Miss Potter?" Mr. Lupin said rather rudely. " Yes- er..." I cringed as everyone snickered. " I'm sorry. It won't happen again!" I said as I crossed my fingers behind my back. Hey! Being the fire goddess, I can never predict if I was going to be late or not! I wasn't making any promises! " Very well..." He said as he nodded towards my seat. Bridget popped out of my robe and sat on my desk. " Jeez, rude much!" Bridget said waving her tiny fist at him. I sat in the back of the room so Mr. Lupin couldn't hear me often. " I'm always late for class! If I were a teacher, I would be pretty mad too." I said as I half listened to what Mr. Lupin was babbling about " Why is he such a grouch today! If I were him, I would be scared of you!" She said. " I don't WANT people to be scared of me!" I exclaimed rather loudly. Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared, and I was sitting in the front of the class. " Miss Potter, you can talk to yourself all you want OUTSIDE of class!" Mr. Lupin yelled. " You are going to be sitting here for the rest of class." Kids snickered as I slumped into my seat. " Today we will be learning about how to light up our wands. Please take out your wands and repeat after me. Lumos!" Mr. Lupin said as his wand glowed a bright yellow. The class eagerly took out their wands and recited the spell. Chris Charein, who usually messes up spells, recited the spell and started glowing. Not the wand! CHRIS started glowing! The class laughed as Mr. Lupin sighed and shook his head. " Lumos." I said as I waved my wand It started glowing a bright fiery blue. I heard a few "oohs" and "ahhhs" from the crowd. I hated all of this attention! Most people would KILL to have fame like me! Why was I so upset about it? After class, I walked down to the library so I could research more about the wishing trees. I have to had read at least 10 books about magical trees. One book in particular caught my eye. " The Tale Of the Cursed Girl?" I read to myself. How was she cursed. I opened the book and read it. " There once was a girl who had a wish. True love. She wanted this more than anything. She found a magical tree that could grant any wish, at a horrible price. For true love, the girl would not boast about her life and all the wishes she got. She gained true love, but she boasted about all of her gifts. The tree warned her that if she kept boasting, she would be cursed! The girl refused and the curses started coming. Her true love died, and her family refused to look at her. She ran out into the wild and pleaded with the tree to have mercy. The tree refused and the legend says that she was never heard from again. The trees have stopped the curse, but just a miniature price to pay." I read. The trees curse you? I flipped the page and saw that half was ripped! The one of ki is the one who will no curse. If hate and anger corrup cursed of your worst fear. The one of the f us all. I closed the book and placed it back on the shelf. I think that the last page meant that someone kind, or someone who loves, will not be cursed. But one corrupted with... something will be cursed with their worst fear. But... I'm not mean... am I? I walked back to class thinking if it would curse me. I really don't think it will though. ........................................................................................
