"Expecto Patronum" Jenni muttered. Nothing happened. "Right, think happiness. Erm..." she thought.

"Expecto Patronum" Jenni muttered again. This time a small blurry creature erupted from the end of her wand.
"Ok that went well. Lets try again."
"Expecto Patronum," she shouted. This time a small well formed frog appeared. She got rid of it quickly.
"A frog. A frog," she muttered to herself, "How pathetic is that?"

Ghada jumped when the proffesor started talking she took out her wand again and did as the proffesor did 'well who wants to have extra work she thought as she was trying to find a happy memory.After a while Ghada found a memory she very deared Ghada raised her wand and said 'Expecto Patronum!' a vapor apeared at the tip of her wand Ghada wasn't pleased with it but it was a start Ghada thought she would try again she thought about the best memory she had 'EXPECTO PATRONUM!' A Vixen shot out of her wand looking at Ghada it started to walk to her but before it could reach to her it dissapeared.'Woah.'

Vruk tried to focus on happy thoughts as he held his wand up properly.
''Expektor Patronam?''he muttered to himself,he knew he has a really bad pronounciation with spells.

eliza waved her wand ,thinking of her parents ,when they were alive and well"expecto patronus!" she said,nothing. "Expecto Patronus!"she shouted ,consintrating on the thought,a blurry shape emerged from her wand "EXPECTO PATRONUS!" Eliza shouted,a bear emerged from the tip of her wand and turned around,staring at Eliza. Eliza looked back ,suddenly it disappeared.

Brianna thought of her family, and how they made her happy, and said, "Expecto Patronum!" Only this time, a wolf emergered from her wand. The sight of the wolf brought tears in her eyes. She wiped them away and took her seat while she waited for the others to finish

Ariana listenend carefully as the teacher explained how it worked. She had no idea of what memory to use, she didn't have a lot of happy memories, her life had been miserable afterall. She held her wand tightly and sighed, taking a deep, cleansing breath. Finally she thought of one; flying Porfessor Belle's flying horse, she had a blast then, the way she felt so free...

"Expecto Patronum!" she cried out, waving her wand exactly ohw the professor showed them. She was only a first year and didn't really expect anything to happen, but she was smarter than most too, and knew she cuold do it. She watched in amazment as a silvery mist came shooting out of her wand, turning into what looked like a dolphin. 'That can't be right' she thought to herself as she watched it dissapear.

"Professor, can you patronus be a mammel, like an underwater mammel?" She asked as she stared at the sop her feeble Patronus once was.

Leon watched as every one else got some sort of patronous,most were just mist but there was a few incredible ones from some of the older students,he watched as Proffesor Craft do it "Expecto Partronaum" but all that happened was a bi of smoke he didnt expect much though he was only a second year

Prancie stood. She was so glad she had been taught how to produce a patronus last year. She was not glad to produce one though. Happy memories didn't just pop into Prancie's head, seeing as very few happy thing ever happened to her. However, she thought of when her house was sold and closed her eyes. At once,the power that closed off the world when she was concentating filled her. The world was silent. Expecto Patronum She thought, and a silvery dog hopped out of her wand and scapmered arond her. The world came flooding back to Prancie, and she sat down.

Alanna thought hard. If getting her Hogwarts letter wasn't happy enough, what was? My friends, she decided suddenly. That might work. Concentrating with all her being on Emma, Nel, Brittany, and everyone she had met or knew back home, she swung her wand through the air and said yet again, "Expecto Patronum!"

This time, an unrecognizable shape with some sort of long body or tail flew from her wand, and then dissapeared just as quickly. It wasn't strong enough to tell what it was just yet, but she was getting there.

Tess was walking past the girl, looking for a spot that wasn't too crowded, when a girl's semi-patronus bowled her over. Covering her blonde head and schreeching, Tess fell to the ground.

And then it was over. Tess looked up, to see the white ... whatever had disappeared. Noticing a tear in her robe sleeve, Tess approached the redhead girl.

"I don't know what the heck that was, but it ripped my sleeve. I take that to mean it wasn't a worm or a butterfly," She said, perfectly cheerful about the rip. Tess didn't care much about the state of her robes. They were just robes. It was her real clothes she cared about.

Lua gasped as silvery leapord sniffed her, glancing around the room and spotted the achievment smile on her sister. Beaming in amusement she gave her the two thumbs up and watched other students as they practiced to get it done properly when she tried it.



Flinching slightly, lua turned around slowly to see who poked her back still keeping a strong grasp on her wand, ready to attack.
"GHADA" she squeeled and hugged her tightly when she saw that it was none other than her adopted sister. "Your out! I am so happy really!", she pulled away beaming brightly at her. Now that ghada was out, lua's worries went down a notch. "Say come.. lets practice together. Pull out your wand ahead of you" lua said as she placed her own wand ahead of her knowing that she would be able to produce a proper patronus with the good news of ghada's arrival.

Ghada giggled at Lua's reaction 'well hello to you too' she said laughing as she took out her wand again Ghada then looked at Lua and smiled 'your ready?' she asked her.

Patrick thought back to the first merge he'd experianced with his sister. He summoned his energy again and started saying the charm in his mind over and over Expecto patronum expecto patronum expecto patronum Expecto Patronum Expecto Patronum! EXPECTO PATRONUM EXPECTO PATRONUM! and then "Expecto patronum!". This time the result was immediate the ocelot appearing as he had commanded. It pawed at him but was unable to reach him. He realised the flaw. It can't move he thought. He tried again "EXPECTO PATRONUM" he said in a commanding voice bringing the ocelot back to life. This time it mewed quietly and rubbed his ankles like a common housecat. Only it wasn't. It was more than that. Much more. It was him. Not just him either. It was him and Katherine. As one. He thought to himself Does Katherine know about this?. Then he looked back at the cat. Out of the blue another thought entered his mind.
Yes.
"What?" he said out loud.
She knows about this.
This time he thought back thinking that these thoughts could be communicated. She does?
Yes.
Oh.
A silence.
Who are you? he thought to the anonymous voice.
I am you. Both of you.
MY PATRONUS!
Both of yours patronus came the cat's reply.
So you are mine and Katherine's patronus the thinking became easier with practise and it was much simpler now to send his thoughts.
Yes.
So you can communicate with both of us?
Yes.
Can you communicate with her now?
Yes.
How?
I am her said the patronus simply.
Oh. So where is she?
In her common room.
Oh.
You should go back to your classroom said the cat advising him that this conversation would be better suited to another time.
Oh yes he thought back to the patronus and returned to the physical world.

Tasha tried again, feeling desperation welling up inside her. "Oh please do it again." she said to her wand. She closed her eyes and thought about the dolphins in the water, her dad's touch on the side of her face, the warm sand caressing her toes, and the gentle sound of her dad's voice, but all the same, she couldn't shake the desperate feeling of producing a patroni. "Expecto Patronum" she said quickly and pointed her wand at the wall so fast that it slipped from her hand and flew across the room. With tears welling up in her eyes at the dissappointment she was feeling for her dad, she boinged across the soft floor, picked up her wand, and walked back to her spot, and decided to sit and work on the worksheet.

"Ofcourse I am" lua replied and was about to cast her spell when another gryffindor nearby began speaking to himself and his patronus. Raising an eyebrow in curiosity she began studying him momentarily.

After what seemed minutes, lua nudged ghada and said "Lets continue". She flicked her wand and said clearly "Expecto Patronum" and saw a silvery outline of black bear like dog appear from her wand. Smiling brightly as she watched the dog circulate the room once and dissappeared.

Ghada looked at wha Lua was looking at for a while and laughed 'Hey you!' she called to him 'I was just wondering what were you doing; she asked him not feeling slightly shy.Ghada looked at the black bear like dog that apeared out of her wand Ghada looked at it as if she wasn't amazed Ghada raised her wand and clearly said'Expecto Patronum' a Vixen shot out of Ghada's wand which made her smile The Vixen walked to Lua and the started to dissapear 'this is fun huh' she said as she looked around the class 'what a bunch of... Ghada muttered but she couldn't conitue her sentence because she couldn't find the write words.

Lua smiled at the vixen that neared her and said "Nice casting ghada". She shiftily looked between ghada and the students around her and wondered if she was rubbing of on her, she leaned in and whispered "say you need to be nice to classmates, you never know when you need help with homework", she then pulled away giggling.

Ghada smiled at Lua and said "thanks you too Lua" Ghada then turned her attention to the other students some of them were bothering her she did't know why but it was a werid sensation.When Ghada had heard what Lua said she laughed "do you think I actulay cared if no one helped me with my homework if you didn't know I have been doing things by myself for years I think I can handle a bit of homework" she said sharply Ghada then raised her wand again and pointed it at a near by wall "you do know I could explode that wall if I want to" after a few seconds Ghada lowered her wand and looked straight at Lua saying "I see that there are still messages around school creepy huh" not letting Lua to say a thing Ghada contiued " I think it isn't that scary honeslty I mean when that thing attacked me I did feel afraid but now I don't care if he or she even kills me" after she said that last two words Ghada started to examine her wand as if she hadn't said a thing at all

Alanna looked nervously at the rip. "I'm really sorry, but I'm sure there's a spell that could fix it. I don't know any. You need my friend Emma for that. I'm Alanna. How have your Patronuses been coming out? I still haven't gotten a full one yet."

Lua blinked in bewilderment as she heard ghada, not able to understand her response nor her behavior. What happened to the girl? The tapestry's spell must have meddled with her brain.

"Ghada hunny! We can speak about this after class, say have lunch together will you?" lua replied studying the girl as gazed into her own wand.

Ghada looked up from her wand and stared at Lua giving her a little smile Ghada said "why I would be delighted Lua thank you for suggesting that" and Ghada went back to her wand thinking about what she said "I always have to say something stupid don't I" she thought Ghada then looked up,cleared her throat and said "Expecto Patronum" while the Vixen appeared from Ghada's wand Ghada petted it and smiled weakly at it it then dissappeared.

Tasha took her eyes off her worksheet and watched the other students cast their patroni. She wanted to talk to her dad so bad. She continued to sit and watch with envy while she waited on the professor to answer questions and continue on with the lesson. Maybe if she learned all the information she could about the spell, she would then be abled to perform it properly.

Taylor closed her eyes again. She fished through her mind, trying to find the happiest moment of her life. Thoughts swirled through her head and found she had a hard time concentrating on one. Suddenly a thought flashed in front of her. Of course..I've been so stupid.. she thought.
She raised her wand once again. Closed her eyes, and allowed the happiness to flow through her soul again. She said with sudden and new found strength,
"Expecto Patronum!!"
Immediatly, a silver light erupted from the end of the wand. A giant ball of light formed, connected to the wand, and then emerged a thick, long silver body, beginning with a head and ended with a tail. Taylor finally realized what her patronus was. A dragon. She closed her eyes and smirked as the dragon began to slowly coil itself around her body. She folded her arms and allowed the dragon to become a part of her soul.
She returned to the thought that allowed her to conjure her patronus. The day she had met Niky. She was her first friend. Taylor smiled more broadly Of course she said again Sometimes the happiest things in life are the friends you have around you..i must thank Niky later...
She opened her eyes, and took in her dragon's appearance, it was very big. She had to look up to see it's face. She was happy, she loved her dragon..the very thing she had always dreamed of. She allowed the dragon to fade away, and sat down to regain her strength. Conjuring took a lot of energy. She continued to smile, as she watched the others conjure their patroni.

Ohhhhhhh. Tag nearly gasped in awe, fascinated by the dragon that had emerged from Taylor's wand. It was enormous, large enough to coil around her small frame. Now that is what I call a real protector. Her guardian renewed his determination to master this spell.

"Expecto patronum!" Tag shouted again, after revisting his powerful memory. The silver shot out once more, this time more of it, and collected together into a shape. At first he couldn't tell what it was. His patronus appeared to have numerous appendages.Oh please. . .don't be an octopus. To Tag's surprise, the form crouched up and turned towards him. He immediately grinned. An acromantula--one of his favorite creatures! The giant arachnid's many eyes glittered at Tag, then skittered in the air, snapping its front pedipalps menacingly. Tag held up the spell for as long as he could before allowing it to retreat back into his wand. He sat down on the floor and breathed. That was wicked.

"Erm..Professor. How is a Patronus determined? I mean how is the shape decided?" Jenni said, thinking back to her pathetic frog. She was watching everyone else and their's were way more spectacular than hers.
