Hey guys! Okay, so this chapter is realllly over the top, as in like, it would never happen but I needed something big to happen that would bring the two together. I hope you like it anyway :)
fredandgeorgeweasleywife101- Thanks so much for your review, I hope you'll review this one too!
Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter
"Expecto Potronum!" James said as confidently as he could during defence against he dark arts. Harry had left to go home a couple of days ago, so every one was left to work on the charm with Professor Wollick. So far no one had managed to get it, which was frustrating most of them.
"You were so close James!" he heard Rose say, who was taking a break from trying to cast her's, now watching her cousin who she knew was close to getting it right. "Try again,' she said enthusiastically.
James sighed before raising his wand and concentrating harder than he ever had in his life. "Expecto Potronum!" he repeated, louder and more confidently. Before he knew it a string of silvery white light shot from his wand, creating a beautiful stream of brightness. He smiled excitedly, having finally perfected the charm. He watched the shape of a lion that walked around him, blending into the light but showing enough of itself to be able to tell what it was.
"You did it!" Rose said excitedly, once the light had disappeared back into his wand.
"Congratulations Potter!" Professor Wollick patted him in the back. He noticed that the entire class had now stopped practicing and were staring at him. Every one looked impressed and happy except for the Slytherin's who leant against the desks with frowns. James wasn't sure if it was because they were jealous or because they thought he was trying to show off. Knowing Narsia, it was probably both.
"James' Potronus was a perfect example! Now everyone get back to work, I want you all to have made at least some progress with this charm by the end of the week." Professor Wollick said, before congratulating James once again and walking off around to room to observe the other students.
Rose started practicing again, wanting now more than ever to perfect the charm. She knew James would owl her Uncle Harry and she wanted to be able to do the same with her dad, to tell him and her mum that she got it too.
"I'm never going to get this!" she sighed, after having tried numerous amounts of times.
"Yes you can Rose, you're just not thinking positively enough. Stop thinking 'I can't do it' and start thinking 'I can!' James said, watching his cousin carefully. "Now, focus," he said.
Rose sighed but reluctantly listened. She cleared her mind of all her negative thoughts before calling out the charm. "Finally!" she said excitedly as a the same light appeared from the tip of Rose's wand and a small but beautiful hummingbird flew in front of her before disappearing back into her wand.
"Very well done Miss Weasley!" Professor Wollick had returned to congratulate Rose who had the biggest smile on her face it didn't seem like anything could wipe it off.
She was wrong… Every one else in the class only became more determined to succeed in the charm and it wasn't long before Professor Wollick was congratulating Narsia on perfecting the spell. She also had the bright silver light appear in front of her before a fox circled her legs, just as the lion had done for James.
Narsia looked pleased with herself and gave James and Rose a nasty grin, who then glared at each other, rolling their eyes.
By the end of the lesson, a few more students managed to perfect the spell, the rest told to practice or ask someone else to help them.
As James and Rose left the classroom the blonde Slytherin walked past them, "you may be the first, but you're defiantly not the only one to get that charm," she snickered, before walking off with the other girls.
It was the last two lessons of the day, double potions, and no one was in the mood for it. Even Rose, who really excelled in the subject didn't want to go.
The class, which was the same as their defense against the dark arts class, walked into the potions room and slouched down into their chairs. A couple of friends were talking to each other and James and Rose could hear Narsia still bragging about being the only Slytherin to have successfully cast the patronus charm earlier that day.
The talking subsisted to a few whispers here and there when the potions teacher Professor Cayvrun entered the room an stood at the from of the class room.
"Okay sixth years," he started in a deep but enthusiastic voice. "Today we are going to be making an Ice Potion. This is a quite a useful potion, nothing that you'll need now but a good thing to know how to make. Get it right and you'll have succeeded, get it wrong and the whole thing with blow up.
"Wait, blow up as in, in your face?" A Ravenclaw girl who was talking notes asked with a nervous look on her face.
"No," Professor Cayvrun said quickly. "I mean blow up this entire room," he finished sternly. There were a few gasps here and there but mostly the students were just thinking what on earth made Professor Cayvrun think this would be a good time to teach them how a potentially disastrous potion. "Okay, everyone get started!" the professor clapped his hands together. "Page 117 of your text books should show you the recipe."
The students started preparing to make the potion, getting out their cauldrons and turning to the right page of the textbook. There was suddenly a lot more pressure for them to get this right, then any other potion they had ever made.
For the majority of the lesson everyone seemed to be going quite well with the potion, so far there had been no mistakes. "Professor Cayvrun?" Narsia raised her hand in a bored manner.
"Yes Miss Malfoy?" he answered.
"The recipe says we need two cloves of… ginger?" she said, making sure she had the right ingredient. It seemed a strange thing to put in this potion.
"Ah, yes, there's a container up in my office if you'd like to go and grab it for me," Professor Cayvrun asked, not able to leave the class unattended.
"Alright…" Narsia sighed, as she left to get the ginger.
"She always has to let the whole class know that she's the fastest doesn't she?" Rose whispered to James, who nodded in agreement.
Narsia had disappeared into Professor Cayvruns office when one of the students put up his hand. "Professor! I think I did something wrong!" he sounded panicked.
Professor Cayvrun ran over to the boy and observed his potion. It started to bubble over the edge, infecting the table and causing it to shake. Before anyone could figure out exactly what was going on, the potion fell to the floor, causing it to shake, almost like thee was an earthquake.
"Okay! Everyone out! NOW!" Professor Cayvrun yelled. It was then that everyone started to panic, their professor was usually so calm unless it was something serious. "Quickly!"
The class ran for the door, Professor Cayvrun close behind. When everyone was outside the classroom, the floor was still shacking. "Narsia…" James looked towards the room.
"What about her?" Rose asked, panicked.
"She's still in there!" James pointed towards the room. He didn't know why he suddenly cared so much but without a second thought he ran back towards the classroom.
"JAMES!" Rose called after him, her face turning white with fear.
"Potter! What do you think you're doing?" Professor Cayvrun yelled, trying to go after him but the doorway had already started to collapse.
James ran into the middle of the potions classroom. He could hear parts of the room start fall. He looked towards the front of the room and saw the girl, looking absolutely terrified.
"What's going on?" she asked, James had never seen her so panicked before.
"We need to get out!" He ran towards her, grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the door.
"James!" she called, as the wall closest to the door started to crumble.
"Run!" he yelled, as they ran as fast as they could to the other side of the room.
And just like someone had cast Expulso on the wall, all the bricks and stones came crashing down. Pieces of glass from broken potion bottles were scattered across the room and all the cauldrons had been knocked over and mixed together, probably making the situation worse.
James heard Narsia scream as she was knocked over and rolled half way across the room. "Narsia!" he called after her, but failed to get any closer as bricks came crashing down over his legs.
The explosion was over, but the situation the two enemies were now in, was defiantly not.
Wow… so that would probably never happen, especially because of something so small, but just go with it I guess :)
Here's why I chose the Potronus' for James, Rose and Narsia:
Lion- courage, strength, bravery, pride
Hummingbird- love, joy, beauty
Fox- intelligent, feminine courage, slyness
If you don't agree with them, I am sorry
Please Review :)
