11. Expecto Patronum

Blaise lounged in the common room with all his slythie buddies. Arms crossed over chest and face impassive. He shouldn't be here. Nicky was in the hospital wing. But stupid pomfrey kicked him out. Pout.

"Hey, Blaise what's your patronus?" Draco was trying his hardest to engage his friend in conversation. But Zabini's were content staying in their sulkiness. "BLAISE!"

Turning to glare at his mate, Blaise rolled his eyes. "None of your business."

"C'mon!" No no no. Nicky was the only one who knew what it was. And he'd rather keep it that way. "Blaise!"

Glaring at his friend, Blaise retrieved his wand. "Expecto Patronum!" A silver dove soared through the air. The room went silent, until everyone started laughing of course.

"A pigeon? Really?"

Wow. And Blaise'd been embarrased at his wimpy patronum. Pfft.
