Harry walked in and saw Lupin. "Ah Harry, no trouble getting here?", asked Lupin, they were in the History of Magic classroom, the only room that wasn't patrolled by prefects.
"No sir", replied Harry. "Right, let's start", said Lupin. "Wand at the ready", he quickly added. He opened the chest and a boggart Dementor flew out.
Harry pointed his wand at the Dementor. He thought of his parents. "Expect Patronum!", yelled Harry trying to block the screaming of his mother out of his ears.
A silvery mist emerged but not a shield. Harry blinked quickly, suddenly a fresh memory entered his mind when he was holding Hermione in his arms.
Earlier when he was teaching her. He also combinded the memory with when they rode Buckbeak together. Suddenly a shield emerged blocking the Dementor.
"Very good!", said Lupin as he shut the boggart back in the chest. "Professor...if trained up can anyone produce a Patronus?", asked Harry.
"Only worthy wizards and witches are able to perform it, but that doesn't come without struggle", replied Lupin.
"What if that person was someone very bright...but they struggled?", asked Harry. Lupin starred at him. "You're not teaching any other students this, are you?", asked Lupin.
"No sir", lied Harry but it was convincing. "Well good. A Patronus charm is so complicated students are not allowed to learn it until their fifth year", said Lupin.
Harry nodded. "That's enough for tonight", he added. "Goodnight sir", said Harry leaving. Harry returned to Gryffindor tower and saw Sir Cadogan. "Password oh noble one!", he asked swinging his sword around in a clumsy way.
"Toothless Dragon", said Harry. "Quite the outcast that dragon!", said Sir Cadogan as the portrait opened.
Harry walked in to see Hermione. "We can't use the Honeydukes celler secret passage, we'll be locked in the shop", said Hermione. She was wearing blue jeans, a pink shirt and a pink hoodie.
Harry noticed she wore this outfit a lot, he thought she looked cute in it. Harry was wearing jeans and a red sweater.
"There's another one, it leads right outside the Shrieking Shack", said Harry. "Hermione, if it's Fairy Wings we want...", began Harry worriedly.
"Don't worry. Fairies aren't pure like Unicorns, besides their wings grow back", replied Hermione. "Where you two going?", asked Ron.
"We got to get Potion Ingredients, Fairy wings", replied Harry. "Bloody hell I forgot about mine!", said Ron panicking. "The only place Fairies are around is near the Shrieking shack, plus only at night", added Hermione.
"How are we gonna get there?", asked Ron. "We'll use the cloak, and the map", replied Harry. The three got under the Invisibility cloak and exited the Common room.
They went down the staircase and went on the third floor where the passage was. "Careful", whispered Hermione as they passed a Huffelpuff Prefect.
They finally made it to the secret passage and soon were outside the Shrieking Shack. "The Fairies should be in that bush", said Hermione.
Ron blinked. "Lumos", he said, the light on the bush. "That won't drive them out", said Harry. "Incendio!", cried Hermione and the fairies flew out. "Glacius!", cried Hermione, the freezing spell froze the wings and the fairies fell.
Hermione quickly got the wings off. "Right, let's get back to the castle", began Harry when they turned around it suddenly got ice cold.
"Harry!", cried Hermione. About 6 Dementors flew over at high speed. Ron screamed and began trying to get the trapdoor open back to Hogwarts but it was jammed.
Harry and Hermione pointed their wands at the Dementors, Hermione was shaking violently her eyes frozen in fear.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!", yelled Harry, a small silvery mist came out. Hermione panted. "Expecto...Patronum...", she tried but she was shaking violently.
She was being overcome with fear. "Hermione! Mione, think of a happy memory!", yelled Harry urgently while Ron was panicking.
"OPEN YOU BLOODY DOOR!", yelled Ron panicking. "Expecto Patronum! Expec...", began Hermione but she shook even more and suddenly she fell unconscious.
"HERMIONE!", yelled Harry fearfully. A Dementor swarmed over to her motionless figure and suddenly began to suck her soul.
Harry suddenly felt an intense feeling fill him up, it was of fear. He thought of the memory of him and Hermione in their second year, when they embraced.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!", yelled Harry, a shield emerged and backed the Dementor off. Ron who had been pushing the trap door just remembered you pull it open.
Harry lifted Hermione up and they ran through the trap door. Halfway through the passage, Harry stopped and sat down holding a still unconscious Hermione.
Ron also collapsed. "Bloody hell", he said. "Mione, wake up", said Harry worriedly. Hermione's eyes suddenly opened.
"Harry...where are we?", she asked. "We're halfway through the passage", replied Harry. Hermione sat up out of his lap.
"Here, this will help", said Harry giving Hermione some chocolate. "I'll go make sure there aren't prefects near the exit", said Ron as he went ahead.
Hermione breathed heavily and she leaned into Harry's arms, making him blush. Her body was very cold, shivering.
Harry wrapped his arms around her to give her body heat. "Harry...how'd we get away from the Dementors?", asked Hermione.
"I was able to back them off", replied Harry. Hermione smiled weakly. "It's like I've always said. You're a great wizard", said Hermione.
Harry blushed. She had told him this two years ago when they were trying to find the Sorcerer's stone. At the time they were only 11 and thought Snape was trying to get the stone to Voldemort, but it was their Defense Against the Dark arts teacher.
"Not as good as you", said Harry. Hermione's weak smile faded. "Harry...I couldn't do it", she cried. "I...I tried. I really tried", cried Hermione.
"Oh Hermione...", said Harry. "I didn't try hard enough though! I'm weak! I'm a failure, how can I not cast a Patronus?!", cried Hermione tears in her eyes.
"Oh Mione...Mione, shhhhh", soothed Harry he hugged her. "Hermione, you are NOT a failure. It is very hard to cast a Patronus", said Harry.
"Hermione, while we practice we never practiced with a real Dementor before...that's why", said Harry. Hermione shivered.
Hermione suddenly looked up at Harry. "Harry...", she started. Harry looked into her eyes, their lips inches from each other.
"Coast is clear!", interrupted Ron. They jumped. Hermione gave him a dark look. The three exited and as they walked onto the grand staircase, Professor Lupin was there.
The three stopped dead. "Come to my office", said Lupin. Harry, Ron and Hermione followed him. "Sir...the only reason we went to Hogsmeade is because Snape wanted us to collect Fairy Wings", said Harry.
"I will have a word with the headmaster about this. Severus should be fully aware your not to go into the grounds at night", said Lupin.
"But it's certainly foolish of you to be teaching Miss. Granger a Patronus charm", said Lupin suddenly. Ron looked confused.
Hermione bit her lip. Harry looked at him. "I was taking a stroll passed The Shrieking Shack tonight and saw you and her trying to fend off Dementors. I was about to aid when you ran through the passage", said Lupin.
"Harry, I will not allow you to be teaching other students this. Someone is bond to be stupid enough to go looking for Dementors to practice the charm on!", yelled Lupin.
Harry didn't say anything. "Your time as Teacher is over and your lessons with Miss. Granger are over. And so are ours", said Lupin.
