Talk 2 ya:) :)

"Okay Harry…..I am going to try and teach you the patronus charm. Have you ever heard of it?" Harry who was sitting on a desk in a vacant dark arts classroom looked up suddenly shaking his head.

"No….? Are you sure?" Remus asked curiously. He thought about it for a second and said…..

"Um…..I don't think so Remus. Why what does it do?"

"The patronus will act as a shield to the wizard who can conjure it correctly. Instead of the dementor feeding on him…the patronus will repel the dementors presence. Thus becoming a sort of barrier around you. I must tell you however, Harry that this is a very difficult spell to handle. We only begin studying it at Newt level. So….if you cannot master it don't be disheartened because it is not your fault."

"Do you think I can master it Remus?"

"I think Harry that you are a Potter…..and therefore can master anything that you put your mind to." He smiled warmly at him which Harry reciprocated pleased that Remus had faith in him. Remus clapped his hands together as he said…."So….shall we begin?" Harry nodded eagerly.

"Okay…..I need you to stand up so. Now….do you see this trunk over by the window? Inside it is a boggart Harry. When I open it, it will assume the form of a dementor. But before we do that I need to explain one more thing to you. As you know a boggart will vanquish when a person laughs. However, in using the charm, we must think about a happy memory. Not just any memory but a strong memory. So….once we have that, the incantation is quite easy. Repeat after me…..Expecto Patronum."

"Expecto Patronum….."Harry replied defiantly. Remus smiled as he stood up from the desk he was sitting on and rounded on him saying…..

"Very good Harry. Now what we have to decide on is a memory. So….have you got one in mind?"

Harry stared at the ground deep in thought. He had so many fond memories to choose from. Would it be the day he first rode a broom? Maybe the time where he played quiddtich for the first time when he was seven? Perhaps the day he received his Hogwarts letter? He remembered that made him feel excited that he would be beginning a new legacy in the Potter family tradition. But no….he had an even better memory. Initially he was jealous of Arielle taking over his position in the family but….the day she said her first word made him happy beyond reason and beyond description. That surely would be a sufficiently strong memory…..or so he thought.

"Okay Remus….I have a memory." Harry said looking up and seeing Remus sitting on the trunk.

"Are you sure that it's strong Harry?"

"….Ya….I think so anyway…"

"Well then let's give it a try shall we? Are you ready?"

"Well see…." He smiled a little at Harry who was concentrating hard on the trunk with his wand held tightly in his hand. Remus removed his wand from his pocket as he unlocked it. A few seconds later, a dementor emerged. Harry's face tensed up as he recognised his fear. Remus who noticed this watched him with great anxiety. Finally Harry relinquished the courage to say……

"Expecto Patronum…….Expecto Patronum…..Expec……Expecto Patro…..Expect….Expe….." He couldn't handle it. The dementor's presence was a lot more powerful than Harry had given credit for. He slowly fell onto the hard wooden floor with a thud. Remus banished it quickly as he rushed over to him. He tapped him gently whilst calling him. Harry sat up after a bit looking groggy.

"Hey….alright come on Harry. Sit up now…." Harry pushed his palms onto the ground in an effort to sit himself up. He rested his back against the banister as he looked at Remus despondently.

"I failed…..you were right….."

"Oh come on now Harry…..that was your first attempt at conjuring a patronus. I can count on my fingers the amount of students who I have faith in conjuring this spell accurately at your academic level. You and Hermione…..I have begun teaching this spell to my fifth, sixth and seventh years this week. Do you know how many of them have succeeded? None…I am serious Harry. The seventh years especially are cause for concern but….you have proceeded a lot further than they have. So…..don't go beating yourself up." He rummaged in his pocket for something to aid his young student.

"Here…..take some chocolate Harry." He smiled gratefully at Remus as he stood up, patting him on the shoulder as he did. He began re-lighting some candles that had been extinguished as he asked….

"So…..as a matter of interest what memory did you chose?" Harry looked up, nibbling on the chocolate as he said…..

"I decided on Arielle's first word…."Remus smiled reminiscently as Harry continued……

"I know that it isn't much but….it meant a lot to me. The first time I stopped being jealous of her getting all the attention….."

"I remember that day Harry. It was a couple weeks after your fourth birthday as I recall…..you brought your broom into the house and Arielle was sitting on Lily's lap. Sirius was helping James search for his quiddtich jersey…..Arielle tried to touch your broom and you pulled it out of her reach….you said "Ari don't touch Harry's broom and then she said a few seconds later….."Harry…." We all got the shock of our lives…." Harry smirked at him but Remus said seriously……

"Though that may be a happy memory Harry, I feel that you require something more sufficient….something more significant….try and think for a minute okay. Think of a memory where you wish you could relive again and again and again. When you find yourself experiencing a bad day…and you think of just one memory….just one that always seems to relieve you of any tension or anguish in your life…..what memory would that be?"

Harry had so many memories in his life where he longed to be able to dwell on forever. There was always a particular few that remained nostalgic with him. But to think of just one…..to individualise a memory was difficult. But if push came to shove…..he could. The one memory that forever stood out in his mind was the night Sirius proposed to Shari. That day was the best he ever had. Sirius and Harry had gone into Hogsmeade and met his dad for lunch. It was also the day where he had found out the truth, about Voldemort. It was the night where he had played his first real quiddtich match and won. That is a memory Harry found himself reliving over and over again.

"Remus….I have another memory. I assure you that this time it will work."

"Are you sure that it is strong Harry?"

"Remus….it is made out of lead mate." Remus chuckled before opening the trunk. Harry once again had his wand at the ready, staring defiantly at his victim. The lid lifted open freely and the dementor once again submerged. Harry stood his ground and was determined to win this time. If this memory didn't work…..nothing would.

"Expecto Patronum….." The dementor remained unscathed so Harry began bellowing his orders.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Unlike last time when a withering puff of smoke emerged from the end of his wand….a strong, dazzling white light blasted in through the Bogart's body. Harry's perseverance really paid off this time as he continued to grip the wand steadily, guiding the dementor back into the trunk. Remus laughed happily as he closed the cover down. Harry smiled relieved at him before collapsing onto the floor again.

"Phew! Thank god that's over…."

"Yes…here this will help regain your strength." He took the offered chocolate happily as Remus sat down on the stairs beside him.

"So….you were right in what you said Harry. That memory was made of lead…."Harry half laughed as Remus asked……"Which one was it then?"

"Well……I decided on the night when Sirius proposed to Shari." Remus looked at him curiously but Harry didn't notice. "That night was magical Remus….Sirius and I headed into Hogsmeade for the day but we had to come home because I kicked Malfoy when he came over to the table I was having lunch with dad and Sirius. Then you guys told me the truth about Voldemort….and of course we can't forget about the quiddtich match….." Remus smirked before saying……

"Ya that was a great day actually. Ill never forget Sirius face when he thought for a few seconds that Shari was going to say no….."They both laughed a little until Harry asked the inevitable.

"So……you and Tonks have been going out for a while….any plans Moony?"

"It's barely been two months Harry….."

"Ya but you guys have had it going on for like ten years!" Remus pushed him playfully as he said….

"Six years actually Harry….." Harry shook his hands as he cynically replied….

"OOOH big difference there Remus! But seriously like ye…..haven't talked about getting hitched?"

"No we really haven't….."

"But you would like to marry her wouldn't you? I mean…..you love her don't ya?"

"Harry you cant just marry someone because you love them. You have to make sure that you both want it for starters and there are some things you need to establish…."

"Such as……."

"Such as…..finances…..such as where you are going to live…..Such as children…."

"Wow wow hold up a second Moony! Where you are going to live? What are you on about? You are going to live on the Pridelands aren't ya?" Remus looked at him dubiously so Harry intervened…

"Remus….you have to stay! The place wouldn't be the same without ya. Dad told me that Dumbledore arranged for all of us to live close by….."

"For your sake Harry…..to keep you safe….now that you are older you know the reality….you don't need me anymore. You are your father's son Harry….."

"Remus you cannot move away if and when you marry Tonks! You wouldn't allow Sirius and Shari to leave so what gives you the right to kick yourself out? We all moved there as a family twelve years ago….you, Sirius, dad, mom and me….Shari and the kids are an added bonus but….the five of us….we were a family. You can't just break that up…."

"Harry the five us will always be a family. Those years when it was just us were some of the best I have ever had. The laughter we created was contagious but….Sirius has his family there now….."

"Remus you, Sirius and dad are a family. Mom, Airs and I are just a bonus. You can't leave…."

"There is not sufficient room for two families Harry….."

"You guys are wizards….you can make room…."

"Harry we have already…..when Rob moved in we put on an extra bedroom…..and two more for when Ryan and the twins came into the mixture…."

"I won't let you leave….."

"Harry…..one day it will be your turn to fly from the nest. Then you will understand."

"I promise you this Remus……when it's my turn to move out…..I will build and extra house on the grounds. That is where I belong…..that is where you belong too….." He smiled at him as he stood up.

"Harry its getting late. Why don't we have this discussion another time okay?"

"Fine…..but you can't leave Remus. Ill see you tomorrow."

"Yes…..you will. Good night Harry and well done on your performance tonight. Your parents would be proud……just like me." They both smiled broadly at each other.

"Thank you Remus. Goodnight."

"Good night Harry."

On his way up to the common room Harry saw something out of the corner of his eye. Down the corridor of the Hufflepuff common room Harry saw two people…..kissing. He couldn't make out who the guy was but the girl……the girl was definitely….Lana.

Well……what did ya think? Hope it was satisfactory:) Talk 2 ya later:)
