After a few seconds of thinking, he had found a memory that he was pretty sure would be one of his best bets to get the spell right. Then, he took a deep breath and said in a strong, clear voice, "Expecto Patronum!" To his disappointment - although he really should have expected it, the only thing that came from his wand was a silvery mist that in no way resembled the German Shepard that Dallin had been hoping for.

Frowning again, he turned to Treyen and shrugged. "Um... that usually happens for me. Usually, I just have to try a few times, then I'll get it." Teaching skills; Dallin had none.

It seems like Dallin didn't want to be first, and truth be told, he should want to, because Treyen has never done the spell before, which meant that the only one that could be successful in this was Dallin, not him.

Either way, he agreed. And all Treyen could do was watch closely and try to mimic what Dallin did when his turn was up. And he ought to think of a memory as well, a happy one, the happiest he could come up with.

But the Prefect frowned once Dallin started to speak again. "What do you mean get it? You did it." Not a corporeal patronus, but the silvery mist was a sign of that. "Not the corporeal one...but the mist could repel something, don't you think?" like squirrels, maybe. Or a small dementor. And NO, he wasn't making fun of Dallin in no way, chances were Treyen wasn't going to get more than a silvery mist as well.

His turn. Yes?

Happy memory? He still had no idea but for whatever reason he thought of the time that Saylen had given him Aslan. That was quite a moment. "Expecto Patronum!" and he pointed his wand at the nothingness in the room only to see the same silvery mist that had come out of Dallin's wand, the only difference was...Treyen's was a bit more sparkly...and he raised his eyebrow at that. "That probably wasn't a strong enough memory." However, something clicked in his brain.

There was a memory he could use, which wasn't exactly a memory, "I'll try again." He informed Dallin, as if the Ravenclaw was his professor. Ha. Unnecessary, but he still said it.

Treyen cleared his throat and...focused, just like Kingsley had said years ago. Perhaps pretending there was a dementor in the room would help? Probably. He breathed in and out before he gave this another shot. With a different memory. "Expecto Patronum!" Blink.

He might have frozen or completely moved, but the silvery shape vanished as if on flames the second he dropped his wand to the floor. Yeah, he kinda dropped his wand. "Did you see that?" Blink. Whatever that had been was pretty awesome.

Though...was it...? Nah, it couldn't have been. Or could it have?
