Drawing in Loneliness

[Ginny Weasly]

"No problem, Fox." She said, nodding, "We can start now, if you'd like."

[Fox]

"Oh, that would be wonderful, Ginny!" Fox said, beeming up at his role-model. He smiled happily and then looked around. He blinked, "What happens if I'm not able to do any mind stuff?"

Fox wanted to. He really did want to, but he had never felt anyone elses thoughts or whatever before.

[Ginny Weasly]

"Then you can't learn it. It's okay though. Sometimes a person can go for years and not have even the slitest mind power, then suddenly wake up and have most of it." She said, "Besides, telepathy is the easiest, so we can start with that."

[Fox]

"Oh... well, let's see if I might have it," Fox said, a little less energeticly. He shook his bangs out of his eyes and looked at her with eyes that pleaded that he had it. He blinked and nodded, "Telepathy... how do you do it, Ginny?"

Fox waited for her answer axiously.

[Ginny Weasly]

She blinked.
"Oh, well, it begins with a consiiouse effort. First you have to be able to send on simple word to one person. Pick any word you want and concentrate for a moment, the focas you energy onto the person you want to send it to. You can close you eyes, hum, whatever helps you concentrate." She explained.

[Fox]

Fox nodded and closed his eyes, trying to block everything out. What word should I think of? Hmmm.... Ginny.

Fox gulped and concentrated harder than he really ever did. He thought the name, Ginny, at Ginny. His hands curled into fists without him realizing it. He was very nervous that he could not be able to send the thought.

~G...G...Gi...Ginn...Ginny...~ Fox sent, a word so very weak that it could have been missed in the minds of others. He did it, but he didn't know if that try would qualify. He blinked, and fell to the ground. It was a lot harder than he thought it would be. He looked at Ginny with desperately hopeful eyes. Please... please... please...

[Ginny Weasly]

She smiled and knelt down, facing him.
"It's okay Fox. For a first try, you did great." She grinned at him, her grin faded and was left with a melancholy smile. "Besides,if you ever need my help desperately, your mind powers will expand enough to help you." She said. Such a thing as being desperate did send powers like this skyrocketing. After all, the first time she'd had any mind powers was after her first year.

[Fox]

"R-really?" Fox asked, surprised. He had been sure that she would have said that he could not be able to use telepathy.

"Will I be able to develope it and make it easier to use, and stronger?" Fox asked, smiling wearily back.

He then saw her change of mood, "I hope that I won't need to use it. The only enemy that would actually try to hurt me would be my grandfather, and he's on a different continent."

Fox looked at her and laughed a little, "You know what? Today seems to be the day I want to try new things. Would you be able to teach me self-defence later? I think it would be good if I learned how to evade my grandfather if he tries anything when I see him next. It would be nice to be able to move fast enough to dodge him."

[Ginny Weasly]

"Self-defence?" Ginny said, thoughtfully, "Well, I...uh, never actually learned myself. I just fight and do what the moment calls for..." She said, grinning a bit sheepishly. When she did fight, she fought pretty strangly.

[Fox]

"Oh... umm... do you know anyone who does know self-defence?" Fox asked, a little down-heartedly. He looked up and said the sheepish grin, "What is it?"

Fox looked around again and then back at Ginny. He was starting to get energy back. He nodded to himself, focusing on Ginny again. He found that it was the slightest bit easier to concentrate on sending her a word.

~G-Gin-Ginny?~ Fox didn't realized that he had put the tone of a question in that thought. He did know that it was also the tiniest bit stronger, though he couldn't really fathom what it meant. He slumped again and grinned wearily, "Okay... no more for now, or I think I injure myself. Was that better, Ginny?"

[Ginny Weasly]

"That was fine. And I'm glad you know your limits." She said, standing and streaching her arms above her head.
