Phoebe mustering her strength thought again of one more happy memory that might work. She wasn't sure if it would classify as a happy memory but it seemed to be right. Standing up strong she focued with all her might on the thought then clearly and loudly she said "EXPECTO PATRONUM" A silver Lion shot out of her wand before fading away. She had done it.

Pauline gotton up with all the students and had her wand at teh ready. She stood firm. She focused on a memory that made her feel most happy. She was on her horse Scoops and they had just cleared a 8 foot oxford. She point her wand and said the magic words "Expecto PAtronum!" and a stallion burst from her wand and started to gallop arund the room. SHe had conquered her spell and she liked her animal with it.

Lola stood up with the rest of the students, she smiled at her brother before thinking about last Christmas when she got a new broom and teased her brother with it. she smiled again before saying very firmly, "Expecto Patronum." at that moment a form that looked like a snow leopard came out of her wand and ran around her. Then she stopped to watch her brother.

Luke watched his sister, after a snow leopard came out of her wand, Luke stuck his tongue out at her. He then thought about the first time he met Niky, "Expecto Patronum." a form that looked like a cheetah came out of his wand and stood in front of him.

Rave stood suddenly as the lights went out. She looked at the paper strewn around the floor and raised her eyebrow in confusion. She raised her hand, "Um Professor may I use thebathroom?" she got to her feet and pulled on the classroom door... nothing happened. She tried again but the door wouldnt budge. "Professor, We're locked in!" she said with a hint of panic in her voice.

Tabby watched as the other students made very good attempts at patronuses but was too worried to try himself, incase someone saw as it went wrong. He waited until everyone was busy to try. He raised his wand and in that action, the lights went out. 'How did that happen?' He wondered. 'I didn't even start saying the spell.'

When the lights came back on, the classroom was a tip. He looked around shocked, still believing that he had done it unintentionally. "Ooopsie," he muttered to himself.

Suddely papers scattered everywhere. Jordan jumped out of her seat and ran towards the door. Rave was there trying to get out and the door was locked. "What is going on!"

Professor Craft brandished her wand like a saber, when the lights came on she walked around in a circle looking for the culprit. She knew that these children couldn't have messed with her lighting, no it had to be someone more powerful. She had an idea of who was fiddling with the lights. "Students please stay calm. This conludes the first part of the two class lesson on Animal Symbolism." She walked to the door and tried to turn the knob. It stuck. She tapped the knob with her wand and tried again. It wouldn't turn. She turned back to face her classroom full of children. Her face turning a slight shade of pink while her hair went from soft brown to midnight blue. Professor Craft's eyes went from dark blue to a steel gray. "There seems to be a slight problem with the door." Her jaw clenched, "I'll fix this in a jiffy." Professor Craft walked quickly to her desk and pulled out her old school bag, she began removing cookies from its depths. "While I write a short letter, please enjoy these cookies and stay Quiet!" Professor Craft immediatly began scratching her quill along some parchment. She folded the small note into the shape of a paper Airplane and sent it out the window.

Jordan took her seat and grabbed a cookie. If she was going to be stuck in the classroom at least she was going to enjoy some junk food.

Prancie looked around. She wasn't scared, she was concerned. She walked to the professor, leaned towards her, and whispered
"Professor, do you think that this has something to do with all of the mysterious
occurrances that have been going on here?"

Prancie had been going to Hogwarts for five years, this being her sixth, and she had never seen anything like this.

"Professor if there is anything I can do, please let me know." Rave said looking back to the class.

Rave's eyes found Tabby and she saw a frightened look in his eye. Taking a sat beside him she put her arm around his shoulder and gave him a one armed hug, "Dont worry Tabs, everything is going to be fine. We'll get out as soon as the Headmistress gets Professor Craft's letter, at least I think thats where she's sending it." she said in a soothing voice and patting Tabby's shoulder. She kept her arm around Tabby as she loooked around the room adn waited to be let out, she felt like a caged animal in here... and she still had to use the bathroom!

Tabby felt something go around his shoulders and he immediately realised what was going on, someone was going to cover his mouth so they would have his air. He struggled out of the persons grip and backed away. "You're... not taking... my... air!" He screamed in panic.

"Tabby. TABBY! Its me, Rave!" Rave said trying to calm the squirming boy. "Calm down its ok we'll get out, and there is plenty of air in here for everyone." she added pulling him back into his seat. She put her arm around him once again but was a bit more firm in order to hold him in his seat if nessisary.

"NONONONONONONONO!" Tabby screamed at the top of his voice as the imposter Rave pulled him back into her grasp. he knew it wasn't Rave herself as she'd never try to take his air. "NO NO NO!" He screamed again, arms and legs flailing like a three year old having a major tantrum.

"TABBY!" Rave roared at the top of her lungs, "STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" Rave groaned a bit as he hit her... that was going to hurt in the morning. Bruises were already appearing on her arms. Desciding on a different approach Rave pulled away from Tabby and gave him a hurt look, "Why would I do that Tabby?" she asked in an almost tearful voice, if there was one thing Rave was good at, it was acting.

Tabby pulled away at the first possible moment and put a conciderable distance between himself and Rave. "You're not Rave," he said accusingly, a mixture of tears and snot running down his face. "Rave doesn't cry!"

He broke down in a heap on the floor, sobbing his heart out while trying to work out how much air was left in the room. He was never any good at maths, especially when he panicked, so he gave up quickly. Instead, he worked on a away of getting out of the dream, he was sure that's what it was.

Rave sighed, Tabby was hysterical, she cast Professor Craft an apologetic look before kneeling down beside Tabby. She was at a loss, how ws she to show Tabby that she was really Rave. Reson wasnt going to work at the moment... then it hit her. Turning to the empty part of the classroom she raised her wand and said, "Expecto patronum.'' and her silver leopard shot out of the end. It turned and came to sit beside Tabby licking hs forhead, "See Tabs, that Rave's patronus right? So that means that I'm Rave, see?" she said looking into Tabbys eyes. She hoped that it had worked.

Leon looked around a bit frightened from what he could gather some guy was having a panic attack he had seen this before in his old shcool leon tryed to tell the girl what to do "you need to sit him down and get him to put his head almost on his knees and give him some water!"leon said hoping it would work on him,it was creeping him out aswell

Tabby calmed down as a big fluffy creature turned up beside him. He looked at it and recognised it as Rave's patronus. He put his arms around it's big body and rested his head against the fur.

Outside The Classroom
 

:: Professor Ganymede was wondering if this was just a ploy for a prank her sister was going to pull on her. She cautiously looked at the doorknob. She wasn't sure if she should touch it. "Toraks teeth. Professor Craft?" She yelled at the door, hoping her sister would hear her.

"Professor Craft, This is Professor Craft. Did you try the lock on your side?" She asked wondering if her sister forgot to try the obvious. Professor Ganymede giggled, this was a bit funny. ::

Jordan sat and watched all the craziness that happened since they were locked in. She hadn't any idea what was going on, but this was her third year at Hogwarts and nothing bad had happened to her yet. "We all just need to relax" she said in her most motherly tone.

Rave sighed in relief as Tabby calmed, it was getting a bit hot in the room because of all the people sitting fairly close. She rolled up her sleeves, exposing the bruises up and down her arms as she sat back in her chair waiting to be let out of the room.
She got to her feet as she heard Ganymede's voice on the other side of the door. She walked over to the door and gave Professor Craft a weak smile, leaning close to the door she said, "Gan.. Professor Craft? This is Rave Stone, we've tried everything, it wont open."

Inside the classroom
 

Professor Craft heard her sisters voice. She marched up to the door. "Yes! Of course I tried the door you...you..." She turned around and smiled maniacally. "Students, please stay quiet so I can sort this teensy problem out." Her voice was condescending. She turned back to the door. "Professor Craft please try and reverse whatever hex you used on my door! If you can't... then find someone who can. By Belar! Quit Giggling Professor Craft!" She still had her wand out, she wasn't sure if something else could happen.

Leon watched Rave handle everything,if it had of being him he would of cracked under that pressure he moved away from the crowd of people he was too hot "Its to warm in here"he said to Jordan as he took of his robes and his jumper
