SPOILER!!: professor
Shaking his head, Sabel returned his attention to the few students who had read his rules, and then back to AJ. "No food in the class. I would hope that you're not exerting yourself so much with this spell, that you're going to pass out." Self control, restraint, all that jazz. Some of them had it, right? [i]Right?![/b]

"Not only that, but it's a distraction to the current lesson. Instead of focussing on a truly happy thought, you'll be distracted by the happiness chocolate brings and that won't be enough for a patronus. If you're feeling faint, let me know and take a break. You can eat to your heart's content after class is over."

Kids and their frogs.


You know MOST professors would appreciate the fact that AJ was putting forth so much energy that she just MIGHT pass out. Didn't that mean she had serious spunk and dedication and all that other stuff professors looked for in students? No? Fine. She had tried, and failed. Failure didn't sit well with her. This wasn't over. "It's just that I try so HARD, professor..." She wasn't going to argue though. Nope. Instead she thought maybe a good flow chart or some kind of graph showing the benefits of food in class might help. That seemed like an awful lot of work though. Actually, it sounded like a good job for her Ravenclaw sister. Oh, Abby...

Wait. AJ figured the chocolate would have the exact opposite effect on the spell. "I thought it would just enhance your already super happy thoughts." Wouldn't that just make you even more happy and in return make your results even better? Just sayin'

Back to her patronus. She had thought of her happy memory and practiced both the spell and the wand movement. It was time to put the two together and see the results that she got. Her mind thought of Adi and all of their fun times together. "Expecto Patronum!" Circle movements with her wand were made. Annnnd nothing. Bummer. Bet she would have had better luck if she was noming on a chocolate frog.
