11. Expecto Patronum

"Harry Potter learned how to cast the patronus charm during his third year. Most people can't do this," said Simon as he read a section of his history textbook out loud. He paused. "If Harry Potter could do it then so can I!" he said as he picked up his wand and grasped it carefully. He was about to walk right out of the door to go practice the incantation when he realized that he didn't even know what the incantation was.

Simon opened and began searching through various books in his trunk. His blue eyes widened when he found it. "Aha," he exclaimed and then leafed through the pages to find the exact section. He stopped when he did. "The Patronus Charm," he muttered as he continued to read the section. He had to think of the happiest memory ever. He closed his eyes.

Happiest memory? What was it? Meeting Ethan and Zander? Was it when he found out that he had magic? He didn't know.

"Expecto Patronum" he repeated to himself. He practiced the spell over and over again.

In his fourth year, he finally saw his patronus. It was a cheetah.
