[a/n-1]Slytherin66's catching up reviews. Sometimes gets a couple chapters behind but always reviews each. True dedication. DE action figures has potential. All profits to Luna. Including Daphne in #100 was my way of silencing Snape. I thought of Bella getting dressed as Malibu and Surf Barbie, decided Neville deserved justice, or well revenge.
In canon Luna & Harry bonded a bit over thestrals, I took it a bit further In #99
[a/n0]BJH's review of #101 included a comment on my[a/n]about size differences and power. Hope I can address it and still be consistent with JKR and #100.
1st, I did have someone diswanding the arriving DEs. There isn't much in the way of wandless magic. Well that's the easy way out.
2nd, maybe the effectiveness of their magic was impacted. Suddenly they're facing kids they're about kneehigh to. Kong didn't even notice handgun bullets. It took large calibre machine guns, and lots of them, to kill him. Greyback could still cast an AK but it wouldn't work on anything larger than a pygmy puff.
[a/n]People have done this? Well probably, but not like this.
Harry Does Different CCCDII
Naughty Patronus
"All of you are doing great! The patronus is a REAL difficult spell." Harry was walking around the group. Critiquing some, praising others, encouraging all. He came across the Patil sisters and saw them struggling. All either could seem to manage was an anemic sprinkle of light stream from their wands. He corrected Padma's grip and helped with Parvati's pronunciation. Standing behind the girl he suddenly smirked and leaned into her ear "You know, me and Ron were real jerks at the Ball. Never apologized for it. Try again." He then kissed a rather sensitive spot behind it.
"Expecto Patronum!" the Indian girl squeaked out. The result was a powerful river of glowing specks, at the end of which seemed a form. It wasn't very substantial, but it was a vast improvement.
He winked at her and moved on "Nicely done Smith. Cho, either your memory isn't strong enough or you need to focus a bit harder."
"Kiss me and I'll deck you Potter." Zack snarled, his might-have-been-a-shark faded away.
Harry mocked him with kissy lips. A trio of Hufflepuffs were having varying degrees of success. The best, by a substantial margin, was Susan Bones. He smiled as the glowing creature wagged its tail and barked. He walked over to Hannah Abbott and took her wand hand "Not bad, but your grip is too tight. Probably why you've always had trouble with spells. You're actually left-handed aren't you?"
"How did you know?" the blonde witch suddenly looked afraid "I've been hiding it since I was little. Not even Suzy knows!" The redhead did look surprised, then hid it behind her aunt-trained political face.
Harry stepped close, took her wand from her right and pushed it into her left "The Dursleys believe lefties are evil, but then they think magic is too, Hannah." He then brought the witch's hand up and kissed her wrist, letting his lips linger there.
"Expecto Patronum!" Hannah chanted as soon as Harry stepped back. Coming from a Hufflepuff, a griffon was quite a surprise. And while it needed some work, there was no doubt.
Ernie McMillan, the boy of the trio, wasn't doing all that well so Harry went over. Now he was rather unsure of his sexuality, and he felt guilty for treating Harry bad during Fourth Year. So as the teacher approached, he looked a little guilty, and his patronus attempt fizzled out. He grabbed Harry by the shoulders and delivered a full-on snog. Between the joined lips he mumbled "Sorry 'bout Fourth Year."
The whole of Dumbledore's Army had been following Harry's actions with great interest, they burst out in whistles and catcalls.
"Didn't expect that." Harry was discombobulated.
Ernie's patronus was nearly identical to Hannah's.
"My turn!" declared Colin Creevey excitedly, even for him.
Ginny threw up her hands in disgust "Bloody great! They really know how to hurt a girl. My first crush kissing MY first kiss."
"That's a tough break." Dean Thomas was very sympathetic. He put a hand on her back and when she didn't object, slid it down and around her waist "Harry's pretty dumb for not noticing how pretty you are."
She smiled up at the black boy and rested her hand on his. Ginny missed Harry's kiss with Susan Boones.
