38. Patronus

Dedicated to Emma's brother, Draco Severus

The blonde Malfoy sat on the windowsill and watched the raindroplets slide across the window. Daydreaming. On her lap was her Defense Against the Dark Arts book, which she had taken a break from reading. Patronus. What would her Patronus be?

The door creaked open, Emma turned her gaze to see her brother entering the room.

"Draco. What's your patronus?" she asked.

"An eagle.. You're learning that already! Merlin's Beard, how old are you?"

"Fourteen,"

Her brother's mouth dropped to make a perfect O shape. Blank Stare.

"Wow. You're growing up way too quickly little Em,"

Emma rolled her eyes. "I'm not that little!"

"Still shorter than me!"
