"Come on, you stupid wand" Draco struggled with his wand and got frustrated

"Expecto Patronum!" He casted the spell again, but nothing came out, just a few sparks from the end of his wand, but no Patronus. Draco groaned desperately

"Hey" A voice startled Draco and he spun around, surprise to see his new Professor standing at the door, smiling at him quietly

"Professor"

"Sorry, I was walking by and I heard you" Lily smiled at him

"N-no, I'm sorry, it's late, I should have stayed in my dorm" He shook his head. It was Seventh Year at Hogwarts, he was going to graduate from this school soon, but he only needed to nail this spell first, if only he could cast a Patronus

"It's alright, do you need any help with that?" Lily smiled, she was such a good Professor, she was kind, she was firm, she was also funny, she taught him so well in Potions and he has to admit he was really fond of her

"N-no, thank you, Professor, but I think I'll get back to my dorm"

"I'll walk with you" Lily waited for him to get out and closed the classroom's door. They walked alongside in complete silent, because what else should he say to his Professor?

"So, how are you with my son right now?" Lily began and Draco stared at her

"Er, I...he's...I..." He stuttered, he totally forgot about Harry. The first time he met Harry was in the robes shop, he was trying on his robes when he saw a boy, coming in with his father, he talked to the boy, and ever since then, they were best friend, but since the NEWT was coming up, he stopped talking to Harry, the git was an annoying problem and kept preventing Draco from actually studying "He's in probation, I banned him from talking to me until after the N.E.W.T"

"Really?" Lily chuckled a bit "So that's why he's sulking at home"

"He's sulking?"

"I know my son"

"I'm sorry, he's just...very distracting" And Draco was telling the truth, since Draco has to prepare for NEWT, he gave up Quidditch, and that led to why Harry always barge in his dorm, or in the library while still wearing his Quidditch clothes, still sweaty, sometimes he would pull his shirt up to wipe his face and revealed his body while doing it, which made it extremely hard for Draco to focus on his book, Pansy has told him many times that he needed to confess his feelings for Harry sooner or later, but of course Draco was more stubborn than that, he just won't tell, so he avoided Harry instead

"I understand" Lily nodded "Here's your dorm" Draco stopped and stood at the door, he smiled at his Professor

"Thank you, Professor"

"You've eaten dinner at my house many times, Draco, you can call me Lily when we're not in class" She smiled, and somehow Draco saw a little bit of Harry in her

"I'll tell you what, tomorrow night, meet me at the classroom and I'll teach you how to cast a Patronus" She crossed her arms over her chest "I won't take no as an answer"
