The Slytherin Quidditch Captain was back again...but this time...he has serious business to handle in this arena...Serious things were going on around the school and it was because of that that he needed to prepare...Focus. Get his stuff together...

Dementors.

There had been dementors EVERYWHERE...and because of that...Dylan would be practicing his patronus today. Professor Romanos said SPELLWORK...So, clearly any spell would do.

For the last time, he set his bag down and removed his outer robe...

Dylan had always struggled with this spell...but not recently. Not sense that first time. In fact, he'd been casting it so much around school that it almost had become second nature to him to whip his wand out and point...and scream EXPECTO PATRONUM....

Even now, he knew he could do it....He felt it...

Not being able to stop himself, the Slytherin pulled his wand and spoke the spell calmly. "Expecto Patronum." Immediately, the Raven burst from his wand tip soaring up high...and then diving towards him, circling around his body in a startling show of bright light...

All he had to do was think about his Championship...That's all it took......but then the raven disappeared.

Focusing. THAT was what needed work....Keeping it going...Making then it wouldn't get eaten...
