Oliver Wood woke up more excited than he usually was for class. Today in Defense, they were learning to cast a Patronus. He got out of bed to see his no-so-secret crush, Percy Weasley fast asleep at the desk in their room horn-rimmed glasses askew on his pale freckled face. Oliver smiled and shook him lightly.

"What's going on?" he asked sleepily.

"Wake up, we have to get to Defense," he said excitedly.

Percy looked at him oddly. "You're actually excited for class? Am I in an alternate universe?"

"I'm excited because we're learning to cast patronuses day, did you forget?"

"Oh, that's right," he said fixing his glasses and standing up.

"Move it, I want to get there early," he said.

Percy groaned. "Now I know how you feel when I'm rushing you to class."

Oliver finished getting dressed and waited for his redheaded friend impatiently. Once Percy was finished they rushed to Defense.

"Oh, Hello Mr. Weasley and Mr. Wood," Professor Lupin greeted warmly.

"Hello Professor," Oliver said.

The older man said. "You're here early, Usually it's just Mr. Weasley who is early."

"I want to learn to cast a Patronus, Professor."

The rest of the class filed in and stood in line.

"Think of a happy memory and say 'Expecto Patronum'" Lupin instructed.

Oliver thought of a memory and yelled. "Expecto Patronum!"

There was a wisp of air but no corporeal Patronus. He tried a few more time with no luck. Finally, he thought of a memory he knew would work.

"Expecto Patronum!"

A weasel shaped puff of air flew out of his Acacia wand and flew around him and then flew towards the redhead.

"Expecto Patronum!" Percy yelled.

Another weasel shaped puff shot out of his wand and met up with Oliver's Patronus. Professor Lupin glanced over at the two boys and smiled fondly.

"You know what matching Patronses mean?" Percy asked.

Oliver just pushed Percy into an alcove and began snogging senselessly
