So it was official; the snotty Head Boy was just showing off now and Skylar Diggory was tired of it. Which meant extra practice time in the PRIVATE practice room to concentrate on her patronus because there was no way she wanted to do it publicly in the training room where the seventh year captain could be humiliated over the fact that she couldn't even cast a patronus.

She had happy memories. She did. But what was stopping her from this advanced magic? She was even growing more comfortable with non-verbals.

Stretccchhh!!!

Because maybe trying to be loose and relaxed was key to concentrating? Maybe going to Paris wasn't strong enough? Maybe receiving notification of quidditch's return and the captain badge wasn't enough? Maybe being rescued in her fourth year from a frozen tundra by her first love wasn't enough? Or Paris for her birthday and receiving a promise ring? Maybe... maybe ... maybe... and yet all those things ... she felt truly happy. Could something be blocking the happiness then?

Focus. I can do this. She reminded herself, yet somehow not feeling all that confident in her thoughts.

"Expecto Patronum!"

And as per usual, meek whisps came from her wand.
