Narcissa got up from her desk and started explaining the lesson.
"Good morning class!" she greeted. "Today's topic is the Patronus charm. You will have no homework. All you have to do during this class, is produce a patronus. The patronus is a mixture of our happiest memories. It is used against the dementors.
The shape of every Patronus differs with every person. It may also change during time.
The incantation for the Patronus charm, is "Expecto Patronus!" You must keep in mind a powerful happy memory." she said and pointed her wand in the space.
A big silver unicorn jumped from her wand, did a circle around the room and vanished.
"Now, it is not easy to perform the Patronus. I will be very happy if you master the spell after this class, but in case you don't, you mustn't be dissapointed." she said eyening the students.
"Now you will practice alone and make sure to keep in mind the happy memory." she said and the desks dissapeared.
"I will be watching the proceedings. If anyone suceedes, I will give him/her chocolate for this spell is very tiring."[/size][/font]

Sage was very interested in this spell, she always had been and had tried it many times, but usually failed. she only performed the spell, totally, once. she pulled out her wand and before she could try the charm the desk she was sitting on vanished she dropped and hit the ground, groaning from the pain of her hurt bottocks. Sage wanted very much to be away from everybody so no one could criticize the way she did this. she had no normal happy thoughts therefore it was very hard for her. the professor was correct, the charm was very tiering, especially for a girl who breaks down crying every time she attempts it. but today was different she would try her best not to show any emotion. she thought of her mother and when she taught her to clay mold, before she knew she was a witch, smiling sage spoke determendly "expecto patronum!" a small mist appeared out of her wand that hung in the air for a few seconds before vanishing again. she shuddered, it was a happy feeling, and made her disgusted. she took a deep breath trying it again thinking of something different, the first time...but her mind trailed off, to the day her mother was found dead. she closed her eyes and sat down trying to think of somehting else. taking deep breaths and calming herself she thought of her first summer break day from hogwarts and how her mother scopped her in her arms feeling so happy to see her again, pointed her wand at a book case turning away from everyone, "expecto patronum!" and a vapor, if she thought really hard maybe had the shape of her owl, came out of her wand. sighing she raised her hand.

Narcissa rushed towards Sage with a piece of chocolate on her hand. She sat down beside her and gave ehr the piece of chocolate.
"You did very well Sage. 5 points to Slytherin for suceeding the first in the task I gave you!" she said loudly so everyone could hear her.
Narcissa then stood up and helped Sage up. Then she went to survey the other students.[/size][/font]

"but professor? what am i doing wrong? i am thinking of happy thoughts but it doesnt work, can you tell me why not?" she thought of the first time she did the spell, a boy was walking by the classroom door, but that couldn't be what makes her happy...surly not!...right?

Leki was standing in his area, his eyes were closed rather tightly, as he was furiously scanning his brain for a happy memory. This was his problem though, while his life wasn't full of tragedy, he didn't exactly have extraordinarily happy memories either. He began to mumble very low to himself, it sounded like he was saying "Guitar...Gem..." over and over again.
He thought of the first time he picked up a guitar. The force of just strumming the strings warmed his fingers. He could feel that power even now.
He remembered his first meeting of Gem in 1st year. Their first kiss. The first time he confessed his love for her.
He opened his eyes, and the arm holding his wand shot up. "Expecto Patronus!" he said loudly.
A silver vapor escaped his wand. There was a strange light as the vapor took shape. The teeth looked sharp and large. The tail fin flapped heavily as the silver figure swam through the air as if hovering. Yes, a shark seemed just like a Hawaiian boy would have.
"..." Leki stumbled slightly, putting his palm to his face, groaning slightly.

Ashley stared at the teacher for a minute in complete shock. She couldn't believe they were already going to attempt the Patronus Charm. After she shook herself out of her shockness she started thinking of happy memories. While she was going through some of them in her mind she noticed that two of the other students had already succeeded in creating their Patronus'. d**n, she thought, they would have to be extremely good students to be able to do that well that quickly, because this is an extremely hard charm to master. Ashley then went back to trying to find a good enough memory. She started to think that her best memory was when her boyfriend asked her out. Then all of a sudden it occured to her that singing is what she always used to express her feelings. She remembered how she had felt when she first discovered her singing voice and how happy it had made her. I definitely think this is the memory! She concentrated on that one memory and nothing else. She raised her wand and spoke the incantation "Expecto Patronus" very loud and clear. She opened her eyes, not realizing until then that they had been closed in concentration. She was in awe when she saw that her patronus had not only taken form, but had taken form in the form of a red fox. She was memerized by it. She lowered her wand after a minute and watched it fade away. She couldn't believe she had succeeded!

Scarlet entered the Defense against the dark arts classroom. She had cheered up quite a bit since breakfast, double potions often had that effect on her. Though she still smelled of the sulfuric gas that had issued from the deadly potion, nothing could have wiped the fresh smile off her face. She took a seat near the front of the room, ready to begin the lesson. She pulled out her book, though she knew they often didn’t use it. She flicked through it absent mindedly through the text, folding down the corner of a page which showed subitus obscurum a sudden darkness spell. She made a mental note as well to return to this later.
As the class filled more rapidly, scarlet turned her attention back to professor malfoy. As she began her lecture, scarlet listened intently, but upon hearing the course of the day lesson she became slightly distraught; she had already covered the patronus charm at Goleau. After all it was a reform school, and she supposed the professor had thought that strong protective magic could help the pupils from turning to ‘their darker nature’. Scarlet laughed at this though, she always thought it funny how her old professors has automatically thought everyone was evil because they were at Goleau.
After Professor Malfoy was done speaking, scarlet rose from her seat to ask her about her situation. “um excuse me Aunti---I mean professor……” said scarlet quietly not wanting to disturb her. She stood silently for several moments more then worked up the courage again. “professor, I hate to bother you…. But you see… well… well ive already learned the patronus charm, at my old school” she paused, flicked her wand and muttered “ expecto patronum” and suddenly the familiar and calming form of a raven flew from the tip of her wand, it wasn’t as bright as usual, but was a full fledged patronus none-the-less. “see?” she said once again to the professor “I don’t want to inconvenience you, but since I can already produce one, could you tell me how to send messages with a patronus, ive read you can do that yet ive never known how.” She paused “ if not that is fine as well, I just thought id ask” she ended shyly, waitning for narcissa’s reply.

OOC I soooooo sorry for this shameful late reply! I have been so busy with school that I could not come in the board not even for a moment.
IC
"Well done Miss Black! I am not surprised, I have heard great things about Goleau. You truly are a Ravenclaw, aren't you?" Narcissa said amused.
"Well, I am sorry to tell you this, but I was not a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Only they could send messages with their patronuses. I am researching how to do it since it is a most useful way to comunicate. I will tell you when I am done.
The first step to do it, is to make your patronus last longer that 5 minutes. Try it." she said.[/size][/font]

Spyke blinked looking around. 'something happy...... happy? christ i'm never going to survive.... they feed off happy....i don't have happy. therefor they can't feed' she explained to herself looking around again. 'erm....,' she put on her orbicial bracelet and the orb started glowing. 'expecto...patronum?' nothing happened. she said it soft and within the corner of the class room. she looked back around and squeeled it out. 'expecto fibliworth narf!' she groaned laying on the desks put together in a row. she felt hopeless laying there being ..human/wiccan. she pointed up with her fist punched in the air. 'expecto patronum!' she said in normal tone and a darker color than what a patronum looks like, form. a black bodyless bat winged beast. the bat wings were huge and off toned with bits of featherly wisps. she knew what the off white glowing bit was. she let her hand drop as she blinked looking up at the cieling. 'maybe i did it wrong?'

"Yes you did it wrong Spyke." Narcissa said.
"Maybe you should not use that bracelet. Maybe a regular wand would be better. You know, Patronuses are not suposed to be black. Even when you don't have happy memories, it is silver." Narcissa added quietly.
Do you want me to transfigure a piece of wood into a suitable wand?" She asked.[/size][/font]

'i can't use a wand... thats the point of the bracelet.... maybe it's something about have a patronus. maybe i wasn't made for one.' she sat up from the desks. 'um.. can i ask you something. ' she lowered her voice waving her over to her.

"Everybody can have a patronus if they are powerful enough!" Narcissa said.
"Yes, tell me." she added when spyke said she wanted to tell her something.[/size][/font]

"Well, as long as a demon has happy memories and says the incantation correctly, then I think the demon can have a patronus..." Narcissa replied thinking. The demons she had met had not produced any patronuses. That did not mean they could not, she had not asked them.[/size][/font]

'maybe they're specifically different. if you have no happy memories, then wouldn't those dementors not be able to feed on you? she scratched her head confused and irritated. she could do much but her mind was filled with thoughts, it blocked her consentration with everything. and her mind was very strong, being what she was.

"On the contrary, Miss O'Connery. When you have no happy memories, you are unprotected from the dementors, you are an easy prey for them. The happy memories make you difficult to get to." Narcissa explained.
"I am sure there are no problems in you performing the patronus. All you need is confidence." She added smiling a bit.[/size][/font]

'i'm not the least bit of human what's so ever, this is just a form. 'she muttered sighing and getting up.' right so...yea the spell.' she took a deep breathe. ''expecto patronum!" i great white hawk appeared with dashes under the eyes. she pulled back quickly, squeezing her eyes shut from the bright light. 'i've seen that before...scars?' she whispered to herself looking back to Professor malfoy.

Narcissa heard Spyke murmur something she could not make up. Then a silver hawk exploded from the girl's hand.
"Great! That was deffinetly a patronus! I am so glad you did it! See, that was not so hard after all!" Narcissa said with a big smile on her face. She was so proud that the students were learning fast in her class.[/size][/font]

Spyke smiled her face quite pale. 'ermm... thanks professor' she tucked her chin in her neck sitting back down and went quiet, doodling something on a scrap piece of paper. patronus charms of wizarding students usually had to deal with somethin part in their life, to be set as the image. of course hers was scars, the hawk she owned and was probably the only thing in her life that was dear to her. he always was there for her returinging after a long amnesiac slumber. there to remind her of everything, and there, to never die and protect her when she would be too blind in rage to know that agreater danger was around. and there he was. her patronus, and to be the first one she conjured.
