The Patronus
By Spark
"The patronus takes the form of an animal," Uncle Harry said to the class. He was here for the day to teach Defense against the Dark Art classes. He was here in my class full of fifth years. He was talking about patronuses today. "All we are going to work on some. Please stand to the wall while we move the desks out of the way." Everyone in class moved.
"What do you think your patronus will be?" Lily asked. I shook my head. "James was a big dog. Al was a phoenix. What was Rose's?"
"I think it was a snake," I said. Lily wanted to say something but Uncle Harry spoke.
"When Miss Potter and Mr. Weasley are done talking I will continue." Lily blushed. I probably blushed too. "Move around the room and make sure there is space between you and the other person." Everyone moved around. Lily was next to me. "Now make sure you have a happy memory and say Expecto Patronum. When you are ready you can go?"
I tried to think of a happy memory, I thought of the time Dad took me and only me to a game. "Expecto Patronum," I said and nothing came out. I looked around the room to see how everyone else was doing and no one had done it. I looked over to Lily to see what was happening with her and nothing.
I started to think about what would make me happy and something came to me. "Expecto Patronum," I shouted. A silver wisp came out and turned into a lion. He had a full mane and ran around the classroom. It was awesome.
"Good job, Hugo." Uncle Harry said. I watched where he disappeared. Everyone in class came and patted me on the back. "That was great, Hugo. You are truly a lion at heart." Uncle Harry came over after everyone went back to see if they could do. He went back to the front of the class.
Lily stood next to me. "How did you do it?" Uncle Harry give us some homework before the bell rang.
"I thought about what made me happy and it came." Lily threw her arm around.
"I'll have to show you because I to know what mine is." I laughed and followed her out of the room.
