After getting the hot tea and sitting back down, Kevin waited for the tea to cool off while closing his eyes again. He tried to clear his mind. Get rid of every thought, he thought...wait that was a thought. Thinking about getting rid of every thought was thinking. UGH this was difficult! How could people do this?!

He opened one eye to look at the other students in the room and observed them a bit. Seemed like they had some problem too. And anyways, he wasn't the type to ask for help expect when he really needed it. He opened both his eyes now and took a sip of tea. His tongue burned the moment the tea touched it and his eyes watered up. He blew in the cup before taking another sip and taking deep caaaaaalming breaths.

He didn't realised when but sooner than expected his body started to relax more. He wasn't sitting upright anymore and his shoulders weren't tensed up. Instead he was leaning a bit to the side, supporting his weight with his arm and yawned. If he got even more relaxed he would fall asleep... So the Gryffindor stared at the crystal ball on the table in front of him while placing his chin on the table.

Would he see anything? He doubted it. No wait he had to believe that he would see anything. But the longer he stared the more boring it became. "This is stupid" he mumbled under his breath.
