Zhenya felt those nervous butterflies in her stomach. UGH it was awful. She was sure she would fail a lie detector just for being nervous. Zhenya sat still whilst Janelle volunteered to go first. She did the spell and said her name, and they waited.
It moved.
Zhenya's face dropped.
WHAT?
HOW?
NOOOOO!
It was just perfect. PERFECT. MERLIN! Zhenya knew Professor Cassie would think she had actually taken Bob. She hadn't. SHE HADN'T! Zhenya groaned and flopped forward, her head making a loud bang on the table. Ouch. She started to shake her head.
No, it was just her imagination, right? She looked up at Janelle, "Did... did you see it move?" she asked in a quiet voice. She hadn't right? Zhenya looked down at the sieve. It definitely wasn't in the middle anymore. Uhhohh... but BUT SHE WAS INNOCENT!
Janelle watched the sieve like a hawk, even though she knew it wouldn't move. Then she was sure that she was seeing things because she thought that the sieve moved just a little bit. She looked up at Zhenya, confusion written all over her face. Of course Zhenya would never steal Bob. Janelle was sure of it.
When Janelle saw Zhenya's reaction, she knew she hadn't imagined the movement.
"Ummmm.......I'm not really sure. It seemed to move just a little. Maybe it moved when your head hit the table." It was possible, right?
Janelle began to get nervous herself. How accurate was this form of Divination anyway? Professor Cassie did say that the sieve could move if the person was nervous. That had to be it.
"I'm sure it was just a mistake", she said to her partner. Right at that moment, Janelle didn't want to think about taking her turn. Did she have to do it?
