"Valeria, Rose, Luna! Are you three listening?!" The three looked up at their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor – Odessa Twist – with surprised eyes. They were silent for a few seconds but Luna soon spoke up.
"I'm sorry Porfessor, Valeria was having trouble with her..skirt" Luna said, awkwardly glancing over to Rose and Valeria. "You always were a terrible liar" Val whispered with a smirk. "I trust that Miss Malfoy can deal with her 'skirt issue' on her own. Class eyes on me!" She instructed with a furrowed brow.
Val, Rose and Luna weren't the biggest fans of Professor Twist. She was a younger woman – probably only in her early twenties – but she still acted like a woman that Dolores Umbridge would have envied to see. She had dark brown hair and strong dark eyebrows, similar to her piercing dark eyes, covered by a pair of rectangular black glasses.
"Of course Professor" Luna sighed, turning back to her table.
"Now, take your wands out and get into small groups. We've discussed the spell, Expecto Patronum. Let's go everybody"
Rose and Val exchanged a look. "That explains everything" Rose muttered sarcastically. "Ro, We don't need that much practise. We did practise the spell two weeks ago" Val told her quietly.
Rose shrugged in response. "And we still haven't figured out our patronus" Luna quickly interjected "We did get very close"
"Let's just go"
Val groaned to herself as both Luna and Rose got their patronuses. Rose had received a falcon while Luna had a macaw as her patronus. Val was yet to get anything.
"Ria you almost got it just one more time" James had now joined in on helping his irlfriend. "James, I can't think of anything good enough" She whined, turning towards her boyfriend.
James soon smirked to himself as he reached forward, wrapping his arms around her waist and whispering into her ear.
"Hey Ria" Val hummed in response.
"Remember that time on New Years Eve, when Fred left us alone to go with Mamrie. And we were left alone for a few hours"
Val started to blush as she recalled the memory and her boyfriend started to kiss her neck gently.
Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione faces darkened, similar to Val's. "Is he talking about…?" Hermione trailed off, looking over at Ron and Harry. Ron nodded slowly. "Potter, I swear to Merlin, if your son touched my daughter I will cut his nut sack off"
"Expecto Patronum!" Val exclaimed as a stream of blue and silver escaped her wand. Her friends smiled at her as her patronus took it's form.
As an Otter.
