SPOILER!!: Heath & Violet <3 Quote:

This was really useful stuff, Violet had heard of this charm but had not yet been taught to do it, and she figured she could use all the help she could get.
Apparently the wand movement involved making circles with your wand and eventually pointing it outward, but the real key seemed to be focusing on a really happy memory. And that was the difficult part, too--picking which memory and making sure to focus on it. Violet watched carefully--wow, Claudine had managed a silvery mist from the end of her wand, that was really good! Quote:

Seeing her hurt hurt him too, more than anything Headmaster Trent could possibly do to them! If that happened, he knew there was no way he’d be able to hide his emotions, and he didn’t trust that the headmaster wouldn’t use that against them both if he saw it.
Since he had no idea what was going through her mind, he remained focused on the patronus charm. He was mildly discouraged to learn that his first attempt didn’t do anything, but he supposed that was to be expected. It was a notoriously difficult spell, and he was only a fourth year. He noticed Claudine looking at him and, inwardly cursing his height, tilted his head down so she wouldn’t have to look up so far. “Good thinking,” he replied, smiling slightly. Come to think of it, he had been a bit distracted last time trying to keep quiet so as not to rouse the headmaster’s wrath.
As Heath watched Claudine attempt the spell, he couldn't help but wonder what memory she used. Was it the same one he did? He was dying to know, but now wasn’t the time to ask. Instead, he focused on his own spellwork. Pretend Trent’s not here, Heath thought. He was never going to get this spell right with his focus divided! Blocking out everything else around him, he let his mind wander back to that night just over a year ago. Holding on to the memory in his mind, he cast, “Expecto Patronum!”
That time, a silver wisp escaped from the tip of his wand. It was tiny, but definitely there! Heath looked at Claudine, curious what her reaction would be. Then out of the corner of his eye, he noticed another girl (Violet). Oh, no, they weren’t bothering her, were they? If they were loud enough to disturb her, they were probably disturbing the headmaster too! “Hi. Violet, right?” he greeted quietly. “Were we disturbing you?”
Whatever Heath may be thinking of his height, that said height never once bothered Claudine. It still marvelled her that someone could be that tall but she was used to it. Never once was she bothered by having to lean or tilt her head back to meet his eyes. As for the memory, she had chosen the one with Williamson giving her permission to work under his guidance by caring for the creatures. That was one of her strongest and happiest memories.
Her face lit up seconds later. Heath had made something happen! “Did you see that? At least that’s something.’’ A lot more than she could say for herself. “Let’s practice together. I think if nothing happens with the memory I’m using, I’ll use another.” She smiled mysteriously and was about to say more when Violet joined them. “Hi, Violet,’’ Claudine greeted the younger Slytherin. “Need any help?’’ As much as Claudine disliked being disturbed, she wasn’t that rude to shoo Violet, or anyone else, away. |
