SPOILER!!: sophieeeeeeee

Zander nodding, knowing that she was probably right in everything she said. The fact that his failure was due more so to his own doubts than he actual ability. Though he didn't really have any ability at all, so it was probably a combination of the two. Ahem.

And though he wasn't all that observant of a fellow, he could tell that her smile wasn't completely genuine, there was definitely something missing. Though he couldn't exactly tell what. He had of course missed the last bit of her interaction with Toby and didn't see her run out of the room... So he couldn't quite place it, but he wasn't going to question it further. "Okay, if you say--I'm not!" Not a nerd, that is. He was sure of that much, okay? But the teasing had worked a small smile onto his face and before he knew it, he was feeling better enough to give this thing another go.

"Yeah, I reckon I am," he gave her a small nod in confirmation, before lifting his wand once again. "Expecto patronum!!" he mustered all the good feelings he could and really tried to focus on the one solid memory and on her words. He circled his wand like Professor Dakest had told them, and waited for something... Anything?... Nothing. GAH. A spell you've gotta feel. "Expecto patronum!!"

And there it was. A wisp. A small wisp. A wisp that only lasted for 2 seconds at most. If you blinked, you'd probably miss it. Nothing special. Just a little sliver of color. But it was a wisp nonetheless. "DID YOU SEE THAT?" He got a wisp! He got SOMETHING!

"The only thing holding you back is yourself. That brain of yours," she reached a gentle finger up to lightly rest against his temple, "*is betraying you. This is the kinda spell you've gotta feel. Don't let all that thinking get in the way. You can* do this." She dropped her hand and let go of him when he questioned her current state, and she gave him a weak smile before stepping back a few paces. "Totally okay. Glad to be here with you - and you're definitely still a nerd*," Sophie playfully poked fun at him, knowing their teasing always cheered him up, then waved her hand in a grand gesture as if to say, Show me what you've got.* "Y'ready to try again, goofball?" She was going to be right here for him, if he wanted to keep working at his patronus, sending him confident, "I believe in you" vibes.
