SPOILER!!: Professor
Sabel did his best not to sigh. They were still on the chocolate issue, weren't they? Merlin's beard...
"I have no doubt you do, Miss Valentine, but my rule is there for a reason. So, you'll just have to mind your energy, or make sure you have a good, healthy meal before class." Breakfast. That big, important meal of the day. Remember?
As for happy thoughts, he nodded slowly. "It will enhance your thoughts, yes, but not because of the memory you have. Because of the chocolate. You should learn how to do it without the chocolate, because you're not always going to have time to grab a piece of chocolate to get that bit of extra happiness." Although, then again, maybe there was the possibility that was how some wizards got their patronsues. He wasn't going to suggest the idea. It would result in no small amount of trouble. The answer was simple. Not in his class.
Admittedly, he rather hoped she would get a patronus something on her first try. Then maybe she wouldn't be so inclined to depend on the chocolate. Sadly, it wasn't to be. Still, he gave her a smile. "Keep at it. You'll get something." Maybe...stop thinking about frogs?
But whyyyyy? She could totally understand it being a choking hazard if they were infants, but you had to be eleven to go to this school. And if by that age you can't nom a chocolate frog without choking then, well... maybe you deserved to choke. Okay that was a little harsh, and she didn't mean it. Really what she was getting at was that it was a stupid rule, but she obviously wasn't getting anywhere with Dakest. AJ sighed.
"Yes, sir." Breakfast meant morning time and AJ was not an early riser. It was a super hard task just getting her to class on time so breakfast didn't always happen.
As the professor explained chocolate and its relation to happiness she still felt like her point was better, but what could you do?
"When I'm out in the read world I'll just make sure to always have chocolate in my pocket." Yup, that was what she took from that little message. In case of a dementor attack... use patronus charm. If that doesn't work you nom chocolate and try again. Got it.
Adi piped up and offered her half of a chocolate frog. What was she going to do with half of one?
"Give me a whole one, and you got yourself a deal," she said as if she was really in the position to argue. Her boyfriend was always coming through for her. The way to this girls heart was through her stomach.
Ohhhh.... they were moving on to the super fun maze looking thing. Now THIS was what she was talking about. Fun, this was going to be SO much fun. AJ nearly drooled as he talked about what they would be faced with. Her heart was already pumping. It was a shame that wouldn't be faced with real dementors, but she would take. Best defense class ever! There was no way she wasn't going to try out the maze. Those that stayed behind to work on that spell was major lamesauce.
AJ headed off in the direction of the maze, and entered into it. She didn't wait to be paired off. She didn't need anybody to hold her hand. If anything she was really interested in seeing if she could hold her own in a real life situation. You know IF she managed to stumble on some dark evil thing in her every day life.
Man, it was dark.
"Lumos." Now with a bit of light she walked around while being alert. Something could always pop out at you. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. AJ crept along and almost stumbled over a rock. How embarrassing would that have been? AJ Valentine was taken out by a rock. She could see the newspaper headlines now.
Creeping along...
Where were the scary things? Were there some left over for her?
