"Think of the happiest memory you can remember-the patronus only protects you as long as you keep your focus." Harry instructed loudly. His shoes tapped on the cold floor and he helped Neville, Luna, and some other Gryffindors who Draco never really gave the time of day to notice. Draco...
The same Draco who is a total jerk, but who I love anyways. Draco, who I had the biggest fight of the century with just a week ago. I could barely look at Ron's face, much less even speak to him, which was a problem seeing as he was basically the third in charge of Dumbledore's Army. The ginger seemed slightly unfazed despite what had happened, and I was even staying away from my own brother to avoid Ron.
A shiny swirly of light flew across my expressionless face and I heard a soft laugh from beside me. Luna Lovegood, with her long blonde hair was watching me gaze off into nothingness. Her Patronus was a snowy white rabbit, hopping playfully between everyone in the room. Everyone in the Room of Requirment burst into applause. Other than Harry, obviously, Luna was the first to be able to produce a fullbody Patronus.
Why couldn't the sibling of Harry Potter do that? Why couldn't I be as good as my brother? Because I was cut short of the deal. Obviously all the power and skill that went with destroying Voldemort's powers as a child went to Harry while I sat on the sidelines, probably drooling and thinking the whole scene was funny.
That's me, Alice Potter. Apathetic, skill-less person who everyone expects too much of, I thought bitterly.
Across the room I could see Ron's sister, Ginny, producing a horse Patronus and having it dance across the air gracefully.
Damn horse.
"Happy memories, Alice, happy memories." Harry mumbled in my ear, obviously not wanting to draw too much attention to my lack of skill, or attention span, anyways.
Happy memories? Let's see. Draco...Draco...having my parent's killed...yikes, that's not it...I racked my brain for more happy memories.
"Let's name it!" I shouted.
"Why would you name a rock?" Draco scoffed lightheartedly. "Let's name it..."
"DRACO'S ROCK!"
I lifted my wand forward and shouted the spell.
"Expecto Patronum." A small, white formation shot out from the end of my wand, It formed into a tiny kitten, playing around with Luna's rabbit and independently leaping through the air on it's own. A slight smile crossed my face. "Fantastic job, Alice!" My brother nodded in approval and a couple people clapped. Ron shot me a dorky, friendly smile and I returned it shyly.
Everyone started clearing out of the door, laughing and wishing each other 'Merry Christmas"s. Christmas was coming soon, I'd almost forgotten. I had been hidden in my room most of the time lately, half the time feeling bad about being with Ron and half the time hating Draco for being so ignorant and not speaking with me. Ron, I assume, is regretting the whole incident.
"Thanks, broseph." I told Harry, making my way to the door. He pushed his shaggy dark hair away from his eyes and I almost laughed. Our dark black hair, bright green eyes and light skin on the outside. It was obvious my brother and I were polar opposites on the inside despite being identical on the outside. My hair was just a replica of his, feathery black hair, except I had thick blunt bangs and the ends stopped in the middle of my back. He was so noble, such a good person, always knowing what to say and doing so much with what little he had. And what was I? His screw-up sister, his weird, sadistic, awkward little sister. Yet his green eyes met mine with a familiarality, an equal respect for each other.
"Staying here for Christmas?" I joked. The Dursley's would never, ever allow us to come home for Christmas break, and even if we did we would be miserable. "I'm heading on over to the burrow." He replied, his voice a bit touchy.
I guess Ron told him about the incident. That's awkward.
"Well, have fun I guess. I'm not sure they'd really appreciate my presence." Harry said goodbye to a few other students who were passing us, until it was only me and Harry in the room, plus a pretty girl I knew all too well behind my brother.
Harry didn't deny that they wouldn't want me there, which wasn't surprising. I didn't care though, I'd have Draco all to myself the entire break. Back in October he told me he was staying with me at Hogwarts for the break instead of going home to his huge manor like he usually did.
"Well, like I said, have fun." I winked to him while trying not to laugh as he spun around and blushed at the sight of Cho Chang right behind him.
"You kids be safe now!" I teased loudly as I left the room smirking, my robe flowing out from behind me.
I love having a brother.
