Harry: (immediately tenses).
Zayn: (comforting) Hey Haz... you'll be fine... Just loosen up (rubs his shoulders soothingly).
Harry: (nods; gets on stage).
(Power: Fire; range = HIGH)
Mr.Winston: Get on with it!
Harry: (eyes the crowd).
Zayn: (gives him a reassuring smile).
Harry: (acknowledges Zayn; but then his eyes fall on a certain lad).
Louis: (sees Harry looking at him; continues to stare).
Harry: (feels himself growing angry for some reason; eyes closed; suddenly let's out a groan; arches back; flaming up; involuntarily strikes in Louis' direction)

He hears students gasping and is immediately worried.
Oh my God, what did I do?

Harry: (slowly opens his eyes).
Mr.Winston: (grits through his teeth) Harryyy Stylesss...
Harry: (looks at a wide eyed Louis, who is however not roasted alive).
Mr.Winston: (hisses) You are staying after this session...
Harry: (realises what he had done; he had striked
Mr.Winston who was in the way, not Louis. Mr.Winston ducked in time escaping but you can't say much for his hair which was half burnt. He couldn't help the grin that threatened to form).
Mr.Winston: (snarls) Oh you think this is funny?
Niall: (bursts out laughing).

All the students join seeming to find the situation rather funny.

Mr.Winston: (glares at everyone; then points his finger at Harry) I'll get you for this. (mutters) Orphan.
Harry: (hears that; breath hitches; feels the rage pooling in his stomach rising to his head; sees the students, still laughing; lets out a growl as his hands instantly flame up).

Students, now scared, stop laughing abruptly...

Harry: (smirks, feeling satisfied; his eyes meet with another person).
Louis: (looks rather unfazed)
Harry: (glares at him; returns back to his seat).
Zayn: Harry...
Harry: (Raises his hand for him to shut up; keeps his head down).
Liam: (reassuringly) We'll discuss this later Zee.
Niall: (quite fazed) Yep... I agree.
Mr.Winston: Louis Tomlinson (looks at Louis; smirks; already in bad mood from the event earlier).
Louis: (slowly gets up and makes his way to the stage).
Harry: (immediately looks at him).
Mr.Winston: (irritated) Are you going to start or are you waiting for some kind of special request?
Louis: (quietly) I don't wanna show you my power...
Mr.Winston: (growls) What?
Louis: (sighs) It's better that way.
Mr.Winston: (mocking) Wait do you even have powers? (smirks) Or are you just a pathetic wimp?
Louis: (sighs).
Mr.Winston: I'm gonna make sure your arse gets an F. Meet me after this session.
(Smirks) Lewis...
Louis: (decides against making a sassy remark; walks back to his seat).
Niall: (flabbergasted) Well that was.... weird.
Zayn: (agreeing) Most assuredly.
Niall: What's with this school and weird people?
Liam: But do you think he has powers?
Zayn: (scoffs) Well obviously.  Otherwise he wouldn't be here.
Niall: Maybe he's a double weak... you know..
Zayn: Yeah... Hey Haz, are you alright?
Harry: (in a trance) Uh... What?
Niall: (shakes his head smiling) You're such a loser.
Harry: (furrows his eyebrows; confused).
Zayn: (hits Nialls arm shooting him a look; turns to Harry; concerned) Hey? are you alright? You seem... Deep in thought...
Harry: (lies; still pretty dazed by all the incidents) Yeah? Well no, I'm fine...
Liam: (comforting) Hey don't worry about what happened with Winston earlier. You were actually great... (mutters) Way better than me.
Niall: He's a dick and he deserved it. But Haz (softens)
What happened really? You seemed to lose control...(raises an eyebrow) Were you angry at something?
Harry: (sighs) I just...ugh I don't really know what happened.
Liam: (scoffs) Well something happened and you nearly killed someone.
Harry: (visibly stiffens).
Zayn: (Shoots Liam a glare) It was an accident.
Niall: (trying to make light of the situation) And, we had a great laugh. You should have seen his horror (laughs).
Harry: (slowly relaxes; chuckles) Well I could get used to that look on his face.
Liam: (joins smiling) Yeah me too...
Niall: Me three!!
Zayn: The whole fuckin school if I'm honest... (shakes his head) maybe except Tim.
Harry: Hmm... (thinks) Yeah.
Mr.Winston: Alright, your tests are over for the month.
You can leave now.
Niall: (relieved) Come on... chop chop.
Harry: (groans) I'm supposed to stay.
Niall: The door is right there. Let's run for it (grabs Harry's hand).
Liam: Do you hear yourself?
(Shakes his head) You will only increase the punishment.
Harry: (sighs knowing it's true) Bye guys. See you at lunch.
