I was sat on a rather comfortable sofa at the new school I had just started at a school for mutants, I wasn't sharing a room with anybody well, for one I had only just been informed of that, they were worried that without proper control of my powers that I would end up hurting someone.
"Is there anything that you would like me to tell the others Miss. Granger?" The Professor asked nicely.
"Well, if there's anybody who can see memories or thought tell them not to try to touch me or however they get the thoughts, I'd rather not have somebody else have to think about all of the things that have happened in the magical world." He just nodded and a woman called Storm who had long white hair led me out of the room.
"Oh, Storm once you take Miss. Granger to her room tell Rogue and Jean to come see me please."
0.o
"What's up Professor?" Rogue asked in her Texan accent.
"Please try to refrain from touching Miss. Granger but try to read her thoughts tonight if you please, I wish to know what she is trying to hide from us, but Rogue I mean it don't touch her, her memories being actually inside your body may effect you more than you want." He told the two, turning his wheel chair away from them, and letting a sombre expression onto his face. "And Jane don't try to hard, because I think she is doing this to try to keep us safe from her previous life." with that the two left to go find the new girl and lead her down to dinner.
I sat next to Rogue who had sworn that she wasn't going to touch me, I was so busy in a conversation with her that I didn't notice that Jean Grey was in my mind being both shocked and scared at even the first things she saw, she felt the pain I felt in the first year with the troll she also found out about me being paralysed in second but after that she didn't go any further knowing that it could only get worse because she felt as said the pain, hurt, but then the void when I didn't feel, see or anything, it made her want to be sick. At least that's what she told me a while after.
Then Rogue asked. "What is ya power any how Hermione?"
"Oh, um well, to my knowledge I can control the elements." I said looking down, knowing there was a blush on my cheeks.
"Come on why don ya show us." Rogue said nudging me with her covered elbow.
"Um…ok." I said uncertain that I could do it on command yet, but I tried anyway.
There was a water just right in front of me but I had to ask first. "Which ones Bobby?"
She just looked at me confused before pointing to a boy right at the end of the table, he was alright looking I guess, brown hair and blue eyes. I concentrated on the jug of water again and imagined it flying at him through the air and then a icy wind freezing it just before it hit him.
The water and air did as I told it, not many people noticed but the ones that did looked around surprised because Bobby looked surprised as well, he was the only one they knew who was able to play around with ice. They didn't look at me, no their eyes passed right over me as if because they didn't know me I couldn't do this. Only one or two caught on that it was because they didn't know me it had to be me. I mean how stupid can the others get.
I knew Jane was looking at me in a very disapproving way, I chose to ignore it because well, she wasn't a teacher for one and even Mr. Logan was smirking at some others surprised or shocked faces.
Bobby just abruptly stood up, knocking his chair over. "Ok, who did that?" he hissed over the mumbling.
Rogue looked at me but I was pretending I was off in space, I even started humming a tune that really didn't make me seem anymore with it.
"I mean it." Dum, de-dum-dum-dum.
"I'm being really serious." de-de-dum-de-de,
"Hey." tula-boop, humde, "New girl." hidee- he was still using that voice so I slowly looked towards him -you know that really creepy way?- and rested my head on my fist.
"Hm?" I said doing my best Luna impression, which was actually pretty good.
"Um…er….never mind." he said finally noticing the dreamy look I had in my eyes.
I looked back at Rogue with my normal expression and she burst out laughing and just shaking her head at me. Soon I joined in with my slightly less loud giggles as everybody looked at us in ewe. I calmed down first closely followed by Rogue who didn't last long as I whispered in the dreamy voice I had before that I needed to find my radish earrings. She stood up and dragged me from the room.
"Ok, so what the hell was that about?" She asked sobering slightly.
"My friend Luna Lovegood is like that, we call her Loony Luna." I said as more laughter slipped out of Rogues mouth. I could tell she wasn't usually like this, maybe it was just because of how outrageous I had been but to be honest I also was no way near myself, now was I? But no it was really a time for me to be acting seriously and I didn't.
Eventually she calmed down and explained that we didn't go to normal public school anymore because of how prejudice people were towards mutants. So we'd be having lessons with Storm, Logan, Professor X and Beast.
First we had Mr Logan in the Danger Room, whatever that was.
But I wanted to try something before we went.
"One sec. I wanna see if this works." I imagined the wind picking me up and me riding it and -strangely- getting wings. I don't know why, but I did.
As I reopened my eyes I noticed that I was hovering in the air and to my delight I had no wings. I hadn't gone far up, so you wouldn't call it flying but Rogue looked pretty stoked. I let myself slowly come back to the ground.
Rogue just rolled her eyes at me and more or less dragged me down a long, metal walled hallway.
