Aludra Yvette...




"Finally something to do in one on these classes." she grinned. Aludra scooped all of her belongings except for her wand into her bag and pushed it off to the side. She stood quickly with her wand in hand, very eager to preform some magic.

Amelia Frances Joan

User ImageAmelia shrunk back. Could she summon that much happiness? Did she have that in her? What if she borrowed everyone else's? No. That wouldn't work, not in the real world. Instead of getting up, Amelia thought back to the happy moments of her life. The first time she flew alone. Her first prank. When she got Maggie. Those adorable fox kits she found when she was five. Those days she'd come back covered with sticks in her hair to sneak in and play with them under their parents' watchful eye. Each gave her a smile. But which was strong enough to create the happiness she'd felt in Professor Reynold's Patronous. Maybe she could mix them? She could remember the happiness in each of them, she could easily feel it again. A patronous must simply be sending the energy out, like she was trying to learn to do, just in a different way. Still, she had questions on it. Standing, since she realized he was moving the desks, she raised her hand again. "There's such thing as a weak patronous, right? Would it be a weaker animal? Or what?" She wanted to know what to visualize.

As the students rose from their desk's Kenneth waved his wand and sent the desk's sliding to the far side of the room. "Ah there we go now, nice wide space to practice in. Oh and yes Amelia a Patronus can come appear in two forms. A fully corporeal one, one shaped like a particular animal, or a non-corporeal Patronus which appears only as wisps of silvery mist. The fully corporeal one is the most difficult to produce as it requires the most concentration and an equally powerful happy memory." He thought it best to start without wands first, "Okay class I just want you all to practice saying the incantation aloud for a few moments to make sure that you are saying it correctly. Repeat after me ecks-PEK-toh pah-TRO-num."

Harmony Trumarie...

Harmony entered the class late quietly, her nap was longer than she expected, and thus she was late. 'I must be more tired than I think...' She thought, nodding to Professor Reynolds in apologic manner that silently said 'Sorry for being late.' The brunette took a seat in the middle of the rows, and started to listen to the dicussion. She got in just in time for Amelia's question. She quickly pulled out her notebook and scribbled away with her self-inking quill. Harmony found the conversation was interesting and wanted to write what she could of it.


Expecto Patronum - needs a happy memory or idea for it to work. Protects against Dementors. Can deliever messages - dark magic proof. Patronui like Animagui, reflect a wizard's or witch's personality and/or feelings. Common forms consist of "regular" animals but magical ones - ex. a phoenix - also exist...

Harmony's quill inked itself, in the pause, and the girl stiffled a yawn. She looked down and noticed she forgot to put on her tie. 'Oh well...' She thought. 'that thing is soo restricting.' Professor Reynolds annouced that though the charm was hard, that the whole class should give it a go. The Slytherin visibly paled. 'Do I even have anything that strong?' She thought, worried. Harmony searched for hr answer while the class worked.

Meiko listened patiently about the discussion about Patronuses, which she had known in her earlier years in the school. Meiko followed the professor's order and repeated without her wand. "ecks-PEK-toh, pah-TRO-num."

Aludra Yvette...




Standing with her wand in hand and bag beside her, Aludra repeated the spell just as the students were told to. "Expecto Patronum." she murmured dully.

Sparrow sighed. She wanted to just try it already! She said, "Expecto Patronum." She waiting anxiously for the okay to attempt the spell. She wondered what the patronus would turn into.

After a few more rounds of "Simon says" Kenneth felt like they where ready to move onto actually trying to cast the charm. "Alright I think you got the incantation down to speed, so let's start attempting to cast. Now you will need to think of a happy memory, a very happy memory, let it fill you up then speak the words Expecto Patronum. Remember to get a fully corporeal Patronus, you need to think of a very powerful happy memory. So when ever you are ready begin." Kenneth walked over to the stairs that lead to his office to get a higher advantage point to watch the class. If need be he would come back down to assistance if someone was having troubles.

Sparrow frowned. She had forgotten about the happy memory bit. She hadn't had any great memories in a while now, bu she racked her mind for the past. She figured it would probably be something before her father's death, so she started there. She thought of her father. her father made her happy when he had been alive. She wondered if this memory was good enough. Her father and her had been out at a picnic. They were sketching together and there were Sparrow birds surrounding them as usual. She raised her wand and yelled, "Expecto Patronum!!"

She concentrated hard on her memory not getting distracted, a silvery wisp shot out of her wand creating a sort of barrier in front of her, but sadly it didn't take shape. She sighed and started racking her brain for a more powerful memory.

Aludra Yvette...




"Finally!" Aludra grinned as she pointed her wand in front of her. She brought up the most happy memory she could muster, once that made her whole being seem warm and bright then said, "Expecto Partonum." A burst of silver light came from the tip of her wand and a long slinky snake emerged. It slythered on the floor rapidly and curled around Kenneth's feet, giving him a little nudge before dispersing.

Lena

Lena took out her notebook as Professor Reynolds announced today’s lesson would start off with question answering. She then looked up at the ceiling for a moment, wondering if there was anything about dark arts she would like to know, or something she didn’t understand. She tried to think of any questions at all she had, but none came. D.A.D.A was one of her favourite classes after all, and, therefor, one that she payed much attention to and studied a lot for. She wrote down a few short notes as she listened to the lesson, which, to Lena’s delight, was very interesting. However, she had found the teacher’s story about the inferies quite frightening, and was glad she hadn’t been the one to see the muggles’.. remains.. Would she be able to handle it if she followed her father’s footsteps and became an auror herself? It seemed like an amazing career, she thought she'd love to be an auror. But would she be brave enough? For a moment, her mind drifted away from the lesson and she imagined herself face to face with all kinds of horrible creatures and situations.

Suddenly, however, she heard the students around her begin to move and get up from their seats, which brought her back to the present lesson. The students seemed to be practising incantations, preparing for spell casting. She recognised the incantation at once and began to follow the rest of the class. X-pec-toe-pa-trow-num. At Professor Reynolds signal that they could begin practising the spell, Lena took her wand from her bag and carefully went through her memories, some very old and missing a few pieces, others very recent and clear. But which would she choose? When she had gotten Luna for her birthday, or her broom? When she had been selected for the Quidditch team? After a few moments of deep thinking, Lena decided on a very old but lovely memory; the first time she had met her grandmother. That was probably when she had felt the happiest in her whole life. She took a few minutes to empty her mind, as she always did before performing a spell, and raised her wand. Concentarting hard on her memory, she spoke the incantation. Expecto Patronum! Nothing happened. Oh.. She tried again, but still nothing. She sighed and tried for a third time. Third time, a tiny wisp of silvery mist formed but quickly vanished. She repeatedly built her concentration, spoke the incantation and tried to perform the spell.

Lily stood, wand fastened in her hand. Happy memory, happy memory. She could think of Dadga. That would work. He made her happy with glee. Pointing her hand to the wall, she said the spell. "Expecto Patronum." Nothing. Hm. Maybe with more feeling? "Expecto Patronum!" She called, and wisps of mist appeared. Hm. Not happy enough, she thought, leaning against the wall. This wasn't working out that well. How about Hogwarts? Just being able to be here, in a castle of such beauty and history, make her want to explore it more. It wasn't really happy, though. It was more of a curiousness. How about her family? Nah, it would be a little chiche, everyone was probably doing their family. She swallowed. What to do, what to do. Then just like that, it hit her. Whipping up her wand, it slipped out of her hand and fell to the floor. Laughing, she bend down to retrieve it.

Neomi Wroth...

Neomi listened to the discussion and heard the professor say about starting the patronus charm. She was nervous but started to think about a happy memory. Her first successful dance recital came to mind. She concerated hard and whispered 'Expecto Patronum'. Nothing came. "Not strong enough." Then her first friends, Rose and Ghaleon, came to mind. She tried again. "Expecto Patronum!" A silver kinda shield appeared in front of her. She smiled. It was a start but she was going to keep trying.

Since Meiko already did this spell in her 6th year, she can already conjure her patronus' shape.
"Expecto Patronum!" she incanted loudly after remembering her happiest memories with Christopher Lestrange. She raised her wand upward, with a bright, and small hare, swiftly hopping out from her wand. The hare-shaped patronus happily skipped around the room as she watched it with a grin. It disappeared as it hopped towards her.

Kenneth watched his students from his vantage point on the stairs leading to his office. He gave a smile and nod to both Aludra and Mekio who cast fully corporeal Patronuses. That was to be expected, after all the both of them where N.E.W.T. students. As for the rest of the class, they were only managing to produce the silver mist forms. It's wasn't a bad start, it was better than he had expected. "Keep at it, even after you manage to cast the spell you have to concentrate on the happy memory you selected or the spell will dissolve. I'm proud of the lot of you, and I know you have it in you to cast this spell. Remember all the greatest witch's and wizards of the past, stood where you stand now, as students. If they could do it, I know you can as well." Kenneth hoped his little pep talk would give them the confidence needed to cast the spell.
