Most of her visions were random, very few were triggered by an event with the exception of the one's in Divination, but the happened often enough that it had become routine for Selina. Whenever she had a vision she had a few specific things that she would do to make herself feel better, "Yes. I have them often, not all the time, they're random you them but I know how to handle the aftermath. And my special condition just deals with magic. You know a disease magic related that gives me seizures like that."
But after she blurted out at him he was still heavily keen on taking her to the Hospital Wing. It was something that she did not ever want to do. Only four see, but often enough that they are usual to me. I hate them every bit of people in the world knew about her condition: Elektra, Violet, Kurumi, and Professor Bishop. If people ever knew that she was a Seer she would face a wide range of ridicule and would become one of the Ministry Seers that do prophecys and never leave the state of the future, basically slaves.
The only way to stop his insisting to take her to the Hospital Wing was to tell him. Part of her did not want to involve him in these matters, she saw terrible things and carrying her secret around meant carrying around all of the horror she saw happen to people's lives. After all how could she tell Christopher that she had seen his father die last year in a vision? But if she didn't tell him he would insist on the infirmary.
"I can't go to the Hospital Wing because they don't know about my seizures. You see they aren't exactly normal seizures." She took in a deep breath and said firmly, "I see the future."
"A magical disease? Oh shoot, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with many of them. I could tell you all about Muggle disease since I spent so much time at the hospital and around doctors and all, but I'm afraid that would be rather a waste of precious time that could be used to get you to that Hospital Wing," he said sternly. He may not know what the heck was going on with Miss Selina Skylar, but he was sure that going to the infirmary could only help her, not hurt her.
He saw her pause, as if she were thinking something over in her head. Perhaps she'd finally listen to him? No, she was much too stubborn for that. But she was thinking rather hard, as she'd been quite for a few moments, leaving Christopher to eye the door, hoping he could just
maybe get her to come. Why shouldn't she? She'd just passed out on the ruddy floor! He figured that was a good enough reason.
He sighed as she began talking and managed to say in an exhasperated voice,
"It doesn't matter that they aren't normal, I still want you to at least try-" before she cut him off with some, erm, interesting news. And boy was that some big news.
"Oh," he said quietly, trying to take in that grand old fact. But pieces were definitelyl fitting together. She always seemed to know things before they happened. Of course no one had really been surprised when his Dad had passed, but she had been acting as though she'd known the precise date all along. And perhaps that had been no act.
"I have a feeling not many people know about this, do they?" he asked, although he already knew the answer. Why else would she have been so reluctant to tell him? She refused to last year altogether. Christopher did remember that little Common Room drama.
"We can always get you some chocolate from the Kitchens," he suggested, trying not to show how shocked he was. It wasn't working though, because it was a very large shocks, and his facial expression was still showing it.
"So, erm, if you don't mind my asking, what was that you just saw?"
