Harry's Full Patronus
Harry knew Neville didn't mean any harm to him, but it didn't spare one of his best friends from McGonagall's wrath.
Apparently Neville convince Sir Cadogan to share with him the weeks passwords for him to write down since he had enough trouble trying to remember them before the first break in. Sadly, Neville's tendency to loose things got the better of him as he lost his list, which from what McGonagall speculate is how Pettigrew got his hands on it.
As punishments Neville was banned from Hogsmeade trips for the rest of the year, given detention, and everyone was forbidden to give him the password into the tower. Then if things couldn't get worse, Neville's grandmother send him the worse thing possible two days later—a Howler.
A howler was a magical letter that literally explodes as the screams of the sender could be heard for a large radius, and when Neville got it that morning, he ran out of the Great Hall before the screams of his grandmother's voice could be heard.
Harry didn't much fair better after the incident. He never was the type to soak into the fame light despite being famous, but when word got out that Harry spotted Pettigrew, everyone kept coming to him asking questions. It didn't help that even though the whole castle was searched again, that they still couldn't find Pettigrew.
James wasn't too happy about the news either, especially when it was decided for James' own safety, he should move to a different living corridor. Although they doubt Pettigrew knew exactly where James lived, and that James had no doubt that even if Pettigrew had a wand he could take him, everyone felt better if both Potters were safe and sound considering Pettigrew could easily follow Harry to James' room.
And of course when word spread to the Tonks and Weasley family, Harry receives owls asking how he was doing and if he was okay. Between Neville's Grandmother, and the likelihood Percy owl his parents about the incident, Harry didn't even question how they found out.
It was also after that incident Harry decided to carry his sneakascope he got in Egypt on him. Harry felt stupid for not keeping it on him sooner after the first attack. Pettigrew wouldn't have been able to sneak up on him if he hadn't had it buried at the bottom of his trunk where it would be muffled out under Harry's stuff. And Harry doubt the dementors would set it off unless they actually come onto school grounds.
Only bright side from the experience was that Sir Cadogan was fired and the Fat Lady was back. Harry didn't realize how much he missed the Fat Lady until he saw her back in her spot with a refurbish painting and two security ghouls guarding her (It was the only way for her to agree to come back).
Then came the news that Hogsmeade was coming up, and Harry decided to invite Neville to join on the Patronus lessons. After the last attack, Harry didn't even think of asking his dad if he could go again as he thought James would turn down the idea, and the lesson could benefit Neville since the Dementors has an effect on him as well. Not to mention the idea of Snape dressed like Neville's Grandmother could help Harry with the happy memory part of the spell.
Remus wasn't too happy at the idea of Neville learning the Patronus Charm at first, as it was still an advance charm for Ordinary Wizarding Level Hogwarts Students, but James convince him that it wouldn't hurt letting Neville at least practice conjuring the spell since the Boggart wouldn't likely take form of a Dementor in front of Neville and the confrontation part of using the spell is often what drains the wizards.
Harry decided to push Pettigrew's attack aside and use the look on Malfoy's face he saw after he won the game as the happy memory. Although it didn't cause as much laughs as some of Harry's other memories, the fact Harry knew he was the reason behind it made him feel like it was just as good. Especially since Malfoy hasn't teased Harry about Dementors since (although now Malfoy now was trying to use the similar gimmick with Pettigrew).
Even with the recent attack, Harry wasn't surprise when the Boggart took form of a dementor. As scary as Pettigrew's attack was, Harry guessed the fear from it still wasn't as powerful as the fear of fear itself. But what shock Harry was what came out of his wand when he shouted the incantation. Instead of a whispy shield, a full grown Stag shot out of the tip of Harry's wand.
"Whoa," Harry said, breaking his concentration and ending the spell.
James whooped. "That's my son!"
"But how—" Harry said.
"This is why you caught Malfoy off guard," Remus explained. "Malfoy expected a shield, although a strong one would of shocked him, it was your fully form Patronus that did the trick."
…
"So you got the charm mastered?" Ron asked.
"Yeah," Harry said as the second generation of Maurders celebrated Harry mastering the Patronus Charm while working on their essay on Vampires for Professor Lupin. "How was Hogsmeade?"
"Good until Malfoy showed up," Ron said.
"What did he say?" Harry sighed.
"Other than the usual?" Ron asked. "He was bragging how Dumbledore is now on thin ice about keeping the Dementors off school grounds even after a second attack."
"He also said if there's another attack, his father will get Dumbledore resigned for sure Hermione huffed.
"I don't get is why Fudge find a compromise," Harry said. "Send in Aurors to protect the school grounds or something."
"I don't know, but if I had to guess, Malfoy's dad isn't making it easy," Ron said.
"Funny how Malfoy always seem to push toward the idea of another attack when he thinks he's not a target," Harry said. "Neville, vampires can't stand garlic, not addicted to it."
"Oh, right," Neville muttered as he fixed his mistake.
"How did you do on the Patronus Charm, Neville?" Hermione asked.
"Good I guess," Neville said. "I got a measly mist, but Professor Lupin said that's a start."
"I keep telling Neville to focus on a memory that makes him laugh," Harry said. "I don't think the boggart turning into his grandmother's howler help though."
Neville turned pink with embarrassment. "Sorry. After the howler I guess a part of me didn't want to see Snape in her robes."
"Well, I don't think I can do any better on this essay," Harry said rolling up his parchment. "I think I'm going to try and finish my reading for Muggles Studies before I go to bed, guys."
No body argued or complained about the fact Harry was already done. Heck, Hermione been done before Harry, but she was rechecking her essay to make sure she didn't miss anything.
"I'm so glad you talked me out of Muggles Studies," Hermione said. "From what you told me, I wouldn't learn anything new from the class."
"I told you so," Harry said.
