Okay, this whole patronus thing wasn't exactly working out for her. She was thinking of the happiest memory in her storage of memories, and concentrating super hard, and nothing. Knowing this was a legit hard spell should keep her from getting so down on herself, but it wasn't. AJ did NOT like failure in any form. This dementor impostor was all gliding around like a jerk while AJ was just awkwardly shouting out spells that were doing absolutely nothing for her. Hmph. On more time for good luck? Thinking of Adi she screamed "Expecto Patronum." Her wand circled, and there still was a lack of wispy things. Sigh. Fine.

Wait, Dakest did say that could try other things if they were having problems with the patronus spell. AJ was obviously the perfect candidate for that so she thought for a moment about what to try out. You know, just sitting her thinking because there wasn't a fake dementor cruising around trying to suck her soul out or anything. Oh, she had one. The lion had been wanting to try out the stunning charm for a while now. What better time?

"Stupefy!" Erm. Nothing was happening. At this point AJ was thinking about just walking around the dementor, but that seemed lame, and that was one thing she was not. Plus, would it just let her pass? She could always kick it! Yeah, that sounded good. Was a dementor even solid? AJ blew out air. If this was any indication of how she would be if attacked, she was in big trouble mister. "Stupefy." This time it worked and the dementor was gone. Thank Merlin.
