Jenna peeked open one eye from ehr next try. She spotted a Hufflepuff girl, clearly with a tail poking out her robes. She couldn'y help but laugh, although she felt jealous at the same time. She subsided her laughter and concentrated on this new feeling. My eyes changed, didn't they? She felt a burning inside her. "Ani-may-jus!" She cried this time, as opposed to her murmering as before. She felt the loss of surrounding once more but so intensely she felt as though the ground dropped from beneath her. The warmth turned to burning, and just as soon as it had started, it stopped. She opened her eyes. It turned out she had fallen from her chair. Wiping cold sweat from her forehead, she stood up, highly embarassed. The whispers and incantations around her grew louder. "Grr..." She groaned, there was a sharp pain in her leg. She calmed herself down for a moment and then retrieved her mirror. Her face was definitely flushed. Her eyes were just as gold as before. Now I know this must be something. She thought proudly. She went to fix her ponytail. Every brush movement she made was extremely loud. She could hear a student on the opposite side of the class rustle their papers as though they were doing it right in front of her. "That's strange." It sounded like a yell, though she barely moved her lips. As she went to pull her hair back, she felt something. Looking down in the mirror, she fell back off her chair once more. Two black ears stood on her head. They were sharp, like cat ears, but round. A large cat. There was a white spot on the back of both of them. Jenna had studied animals enough to know what this was. "Tiger...?!" She fell back on the floor and laughed weakly, her head starting to hurt from the noise and the continuous impact of the ground.
