"I want to be able to do one, I think they're so cool! My mum and dad both have patronuses and I want one too."
He swallowed and made sure his wand was firmly in hand and nodded "Ready." he said and nodded again. Okay, so let's do this! His eyes stayed open and focused on the task at hand. He followed Adi, hopping over the rocks and dodging the big boulder. Pushing aside a bush he was about to take a step and gasped pointing "There!" he whispered his eyes wide and pointed his wand at the dark shadowy figure.
He made the circular movement with his wand thinking hard on when the sorting hat had declared 'Hufflepuff' at the same moment Adi did and said "Expecto Patronum!" NO! He shook his wand when nothing appeared. Not even the poof of silver this time. His shoulders dropped as he eyed his wand. "But...." He looked up "Well done" he said trying to smile. "It...didn't work..."
Of course he would give
AJ an entire Frog but he wasn't going to tell her that.
"What? Afraid of having anything that I've eaten out of?" Hehe.
....................
Poor James. He was so down about the spell not working.
"No worries, James. Remember, it's a really complicated spell. Look on the bright side, you got something to happen way before I did and I'm five years older than you are.'' Seeeeee? Didn't that count for something? Adi thought it sure did. He gave the boy a bro!hug. Hugs made everyone feel better!
"Keep your head up and your happy memory close.'' His own happy memory (one of them) of him and AJ was something he never wanted to let go of.
"Let's go, James,'' Adi said as he took off again but making sure that the firstie was by his side. And so off went the duo again with the older Hufflepuff keeping his bespectacled eyes trained in taking in as much of their surroundings as possible.
"There's a huge puddle of mud coming up,'' he informed James a few minutes into their latest trek. They could have either gone around the sole side that the mud wasn't occupying or jump over it. Adi being Adi, chose to jump over the thing. He took some steps back and took off at a run which allowed him to sail over the puddle, though he stumbled on his landing and tumbled forward, coming to a stop on his belly with a soft 'Omph!'. Heh.
"THAT WAS FUN! Let's do that again!'' Don't mind him, folks. He was a crazy badger. He focused on James again.
"Need any hel-'' His question was cut short when he noticed (as he was looking away from his partner and surveying the maze again) another figure approaching them. A LETHIFOLD! Adi raised his wand, ready to get the thing away from them barely noticing the dark corridor behind the figure.
"Let James do it.'' The thought came to him at that moment and it was a great one!
"James! You're up! Remember focus on your happy memory.'' LET'S DO THIS! He on the other hand, would remain here on his belly, looking at the show, though if James needed any help, he would jump right up.
