He was perhaps more determined now than before to cast the Charm, and it gave him confidence knowing that Charms was an area he excelled in - though he could hardly take the credit, it was his wand that favoured them... through him... or something like that. Either way, there were reasons that explained why he was better at Charms than Transfiguration.

Deeeeeeeep breath.
Focus.
"Expecto Patronum!" Zeke announced, his wand moving in a tight circular fashion.
Nothing.
Perhaps he wasn't thinking hard enough.
Letting the memory of that day at the park overwhelm his senses, he could almost feel the discomfort in his chest, he could hear the wind in his ears, he could remember the kids scattering...
...
Again, he cast the Charm.
"Expecto Patronum!"
This time he wasn't unsuccessful, so to speak. Whips of silvery white escaped his wand tip, falling like a curtain briefly before fading away.
That was a good sign, right? Right? Granted, it was neither a shield nor a corporeal patronus.
