A/N: Yay, its back! DO NOT LET THE GRYFFINDOR-Y-NESS RUIN IT FOR YOU! I'M BEGGING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES, PLZPLZPLZ. I realized now that back in another chapter (I forgot which, sorry) that Sarah SAID Levicorpus, when it's a non-verbal spell, and Lily does it again in this chapter... I'm bending ALL the rules now.

This one is kind of short, but I'm writing more RIGHT NOW. Sorry about the delays, I'm in high school now and its a LOT of work.

HEY! If you have the time, check out my other fanfic - The International Statue of Secrecy. I need to decide what house to put my main charecters in, and it seems I have no readers enthusiastic enough to suggest any. It'll only take a couple seconds! THANKS IN ADVANCE! .net/s/5870698/1/The_International_Statue_of_Secrecy

Aight, I'm done rambling. ENJOI!

Chapter 15

Lily arrived back in the Gryffindor common room an hour later, grinning tiredly. All her friends had loyally stayed waiting for her. "Don't worry, Scorpius got off worse than me." Lily said. "I've just got a detention tomorrow."

"And Parker?" James asked from his seat in the cushy arm chair. His chin was resting on his chest and he hand his eyes half-closed, twiddling his wand between his fingers. "Sarah got the same as me. All we have to do is help Neville with Mandrakes." Lily glared at her older brother.

James sighed heavily. "Look, what is with you lately? Scorpius… Sarah… Malfoy is a Malfoy, Lills, and Parker is just a snobby prat of a – AGGGH!"

James was suddenly hoisted into the air by his ankle, his wand clattered to the floor. Everyone in the vicinity laughed. James scowled at Lily. "Bring me down!" He barked. Lily scoffed. "See, if you had ever paid attention to what dad taught us, you'd know the counter-jinx, wouldn't you?" She said shrewdly, and tucked her wand back into her robes.

No-one else seemed to know the counter-jinx either, so they all watched and laughed and James, who was cursing loudly and swinging like a mad pendulum.

"Potters?" A voice said – Kenneth Jacobs, a prefect. "Ah… sorry, Jacobs…" Lily said, grabbing her wand again. James looked relieved and smug – that was, until Lily cast a silencing charm on him. He was red in the face now, from both cursing and being upside down, but he made no noise. There was a little smile on Jacobs' face when Lily turned around with a sweet little, "Better?" Jacobs gave Lily a little disapproving glance.

"Liberacorpus." Lily said, quietly enough so James couldn't hear. He went crashing to the floor, causing another uproar of laugher. James scrambled for his wand and stood up, still silently fuming. Lily undid the silencing charm and stood ready for retaliation – but James saw Jacobs' glare and stuffed his wand away, stomping up to the boys dorm.

"Lily Potter, right?" Lily turned and saw a second year girl standing behind her clutching an envelope. "This is from Professor Crombie." Lily thanked the girl and took the envelope. Instantly, her friends were surrounding her on the couch. Lily opened the envelope and slid the parchment out.

LILY

If it would be convenient to you, I would love to have you show tomorrow's Charms class your Patrownuss again and show us all the general method. I know it's incredibly advanced, but we'll try our best! Thank you so much

Prof. Crombie

"Nice. A Professor asking an eleven year old to run a class, and he can't even spell what she's supposed to be teaching." Jayne said with a grin. Lily smirked and turned to Jayne. "Oh yeah? How do you spell Patronus?" Jayne's face fell. "Ah… P-A-H-T-R-O-W-N-U-S?" She tried. "Fail." Lily announced, and went up to bed.

"Okay, now I don't expect any of you to actually get it – it's a miracle I ever did – but the charm is Expecto Patronum." Lily explained. She was standing at the front of the Charms class, and the class was spread out in front of her, standing. The desks were all moved to the sides of the room. A couple of kids started muttering the spell to themselves. Hugo and Sarah both looked pretty confident – Sarah had a little smile on her face, and Hugo looked determined.

"Now you have to think of the happiest memory you've ever had, and let it fill you completely." Lily continued. Again she was in front of the mirror. The scene was familiar now. "And then you just… Expecto Patronum." Lily and the lioness watched everyone mutter the spell. Hugo made a strangled little "Ahh!" when a white light wisped from his wand tip. Sarah achieved slightly better results, but Lily saw her grimace when it didn't stay.

"Don't worry, guys. It took me a while too." Lily said – a little lie, but who really cared? "Again now." The room was full of voices, and then – "Woah!" A couple of kids had jumped away from where Sarah was standing – Sarah and a milky white cobra.

Sarah was staring at the snake with surprise in her eyes. Lily knew exactly what she was thinking – why wasn't it a raven? The snake hissed and slithered towards Lily. The lioness made a little noise and took a step forwards – the snake reared and disappeared. "Really good, Sarah." Lily said finally, and Sarah smiled a little.

By the end of class, a total of three kids had managed to get a wisp of a Patronus, and Hugo kept insisting that the last, large burst he had made was almost a Patronus. "It was a giraffe, I'm telling you!" He insisted. "If you're gonna lie, Hugo, at least make it a big tough animal." Indy said with a grin. As Lily shouldered her bag and made to follow her friends, she felt someone tapping on her shoulder.

It was Sarah. Her deep eyes showed concern, fear and confusion, and Lily knew she was thinking about the snake. "I'll see you tonight, right?" She asked. Lily blinked. "Oh yeah, detention. Of course." Sarah nodded. "Thanks for showing us… me… that Patronus, Potter." She said, and disappeared. Lily smiled a little and headed after her friends.

WHEEEE! REVEIW, PEEPLS, REVEIW!
