Her eyes widened as the glow got brighter but she soon found it hard to look through the sudden bright light that made everything around her seem to disappear. Evidently it was all still there though because she could hear Felix hissing louder than he'd done in the longest time. Lex never knew him to be afraid of light and it got her thinking she should just...put it back. It obviously wouldn't help her reading.

Hard as she tried though, she couldn't let the book go. A tingling held her arms fixed on the book and soon she felt she wasn't the one turning the pages anymore. Shouts came from inside the book, loud, anxious voices that increased her doubt but even then she couldn't get her hands off the book.

She tried calling for Mr. Kitridge but a face appeared in the book and it was like it took her voices. A cunning smile, dark eyes and then nothing. The lights were gone, the book slammed shut and the Gryffindor felt herself rising....but she didn't remember moving? One step after the other took her back toward the exit but it was like a dream. Lex was moving but she didn't know how.

Another hissing got her to turn but even then that wasn't her. Somehow she managed to reach her own hand toward him but he simply growled then bolted. What in Merlin's beard was going on????
