"Erm... a German Shepard." Usually Dallin was pretty proud of this, because he loved that breed of dogs and felt that they were one of the more... cooler breeds, but right now he wasn't so sure if they were so great or not. Meh.

Moving on. "You should try again," he urged, motioning to Treyen's wand. "Just... don't be so surprised. Focus on the patronus itself more, and it might stick around longer." That was actually pretty good advice, wasn't it? Dallin thought so.

So, Dallin was agreeing with him. That was no indication that what they saw was in fact a phoenix, though.

A German Shepard? Oh, man, those dogs were amongst the strongest ones. Definitely a dog one should be wary of...if one didn't mean well. "That's pretty cool." It was. It was also a pretty dog.

Okay. Whatever the professor said. He'll try again. The Prefect couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the 'don't be so surprised' part, yeah, Dallin, he's not letting go of his wand this time. No worries. "Okay." He'll try and focus on the patronus a bit more.

So, breathing in and out again...and that last memory of his that worked was back on his mind. No pressure, right? Just try and get that patronus again. Sigh. "Expecto Patronum!" the wand pointing at the nothingness left out the silvery mist once more...but it soon took the shape of the same creature from before. Treyen didn't let go of the wand this time, he was just focusing on the memory, the spell and the creature at the same time. Surely, Kingsley would be proud.

But it was a phoenix, wasn't it? It looked like the ones he'd only seen in textbooks before, it wasn't like any bird...and...he still didn't know why that was his patronus.

It vanished in flames like before when he put down his wand. The patronus was a charm, wasn't it? And Mr. Spencer did say his wand was suited for 'charms'...how come it didn't work as great in Transfiguration as it did in Charms when Treyen clearly had to focus a whole lot more in Transfiguration?

Those were questions Dallin couldn't respond to, right? Best to keep them to himself...and some professor later on.

"I guess it was a phoenix, after all." Time to do some research about them, no? "Maybe you ought to try again." And they'll get to see a German Shepard, yes?
