A/n: Besides my spelling and grammar errors, if there's inconsistencies lmk! I read other works while writing and get confused easily, lol. Such is my life. Thank you!

Luna's converstation had me wondering if the woman would help me. I wasn't a Ravenclaw, but I figured like the paintings she may have an idea. IF she didn't know the object, maybe she could direct me to teh paintings that would know.

I wasn't able to find her that evening, so I'd headed to Remus' office. His office still had some pink remaing from Umbridge causing me to shudder at the thought.

"Remus, can you teach me how to preform a Patronus?" I ask him.

He nods, a slight look of surprise. "Where is this coming from?"

"Snape told me that you'd be a good person to learn it from." I say kicking a fake pebble on the ground.

"Ah, well. I can try but it lies within you. Firstly, you need to think of your happiest memory. I think you can do it easily though, seeing how you pick up on the lessons lately in class." Remus tells me.

I sit and try thinking of my happiest memories. Knowing alot were taken by Bellatrix, I try focusing on Charlie. I smile just at the thought of him. His touch, his smell, the first time I'd seen him.

I look back at Remus, "I think Igot it."

He grins and nods, "Now, focus on that. The incantation is, Expecto Patronum."

With a flick of my wand and focusing on the first time I'd met Charlie I shout the spell. I watch as some whisps form at the end of my wand before disappearing.

"Wow. Now keep shifting through memories and repeat that. You're doing well. Some can't even accomplish what you have for your first time." he encourages watching me try once more.

The next memory I try is the Yule Ball. Remembering how he'd  made the special trip, just for me. Trying the spell again, I've achieved the same results. Remus grades papers while I continue attempting the spell. I shift through most of my memories with him.

Maybe, Charlie wasn't my happiest thought. I try thinking of when I'd found out I was coming, times in the library with Hermione, even meeting Draco. Nothing.

Then I focus on when I'd met Sirius. The fear I had but focused then more on the laughter we shared after. Our moments together, filled with love and as a family.

I try casting the spell once more, and Isee a form shape in front of me. It was a white dog, running around the room. It seemed to play before disappearing. I stare at it in confusion adn then turn to Remus.

"A dog?" he questions with his eyebrows raised.

"You know, I'm just as confused. I thought about Charlie when I'd started. Then I tried going things with friends and what not that might be. What really did it was my memory of meeting Sirius." I tell Remus who gives me a grin and pats on the floor next to him for me to sit.

"You see Siaph, there are many forms of love and happiness. For instance your love towards Charlie or your love towards your friends or love for family. You had that taken away from you and meeting Sirius.. that gave you something, someone special." Remus explains.

"Wouldn't it be my thoughts of Charlie, though? Does that not make him my, soulmate so to say? I thought the patronus takes form like that." I tell him.

"Not necissarily. For some, like yourself, gaining someone like Sirius.. its more powerful. It doesn't mean that Charlie is any less, but family means a great deal more to you than you've realized. It's difficult to explain." Remus says handing me a bit of chocolate.
