The next day Helena woke up and was super excited because of the last night's prank. The marauders would go early for breakfast to see if someone from the slytherin makes the mistake to swear.
"And now, we wait..." said James with an evil smirk
More and more slytherins where entering the Great Hall to eat breakfast. El couldn't hide her smile as she saw Snape with his friends entering Great Hall.
"Look now what is going to happen..." she smirked
"Be careful El..." replied Remus
"I will!"
She sat up from the gryffindor table and headed towards Snape. As she walked past Snape she pressed his shoe.
"Watch out my princess! WHAT?!" shouted Severus as he realized what he had just say. Snape's friends started laughing and teasing him.
"Hey I didn't want to say this! I wanted to say that she is my princess! Not again!"
"Since when am I your princess Snivellus? Is there something that you wish to tell me?" Joked Helena
"Shut up you little cupcake! FUCK!" yelled Snape and run outside the Great Hall.
The girl went back to her friends that welcomed her like a hero.
"To Helena Petrova and her brilliant ideas! To Vixen!" Cheered James
"To Vixen!" Belted the others
The week passed quickly. The first few days the Slytherins were so angry and they didn't know what to do. They couldn't go to the staff because they would have to tell them which words they were supposed to say instead of the sweet ones and they would definitely get detention. The other houses where often teasing the slytherins so they would make them swear.

It is the last hour of classes and they have defence against the dark arts.
"Hello class. Today we will practice patronus'. Yeah I know that is difficult to produce a patronous but you all are charismatic children and it is good to know more. To produce a patronus you have to think of a very happy memory so that the dementor can feed himself from the patronus and not your memories. I don't expect you to succeed on your first try but I want all of you to try your best. So, repeat after me: Expecto Patrunom!" spoke the DADA professor
"Expecto patrunom!" Exclaimed the class with one voice.
"Well done! Now let's get these desks aside and start practicing" spoke the DADA professor and each student levitated their desk aside.
A happy memory? Thats easy enough I think... Oh! How about when I first walked in the Hogwarts library? Nah, very simple... I know! I can think of when I first met the boys! Yeah thats it! It definitely is a strong happy memory and it would definitely work! Ok now the incantation: Expecto Patrunom! Oh nothing happened. It's okay its advanced magic I can't succeed in my first try! Okay Helena keep practicing...
The days passed and Helena didn't make any progress. She slowly started giving up because she couldn't produce even a small light. It was the last day they would practice the patronus charm and she was crestfallen. James, Sirius and Remus had managed to produce their own ones, a deer, a dog and a wolf. Apparently Lily's patronous was a female deer and that was strange, considering that James' was a male one.
Helena sat in a corner thinking of what she did wrong. Why couldn't she produce a patronus? Was she not happy enough? Maybe she had more negative memories than positive ones...
"If only Remus was here..." thought Helena and somehow she started thinking about everything her and Remus had gone through. The study dates in the library and the late night raids in the kitchens to get hot chocolate from the house elfs... The nights when they studied alone in the common room near the fireplace with a blanket... The incident where he carried her all the way to the common room and then came with her to Madame Pomfrey... And as she stood there remembering all the happy memories she had with him she lifted her wand and without thinking she said "Expecto Patrunom".
A blue light got out of the edge of her wand and an animal formed. It looked familiar... No. It couldn't be... She quickly stopped casting the spell but not soon enough cause someone saw her.
"Was- was that a wolf?" Asked Remus shocked
"What? No of course not! It was a coyote. Not a wolf" said Helena quickly
"But I thought I saw a wolf" mumbled Remus so she could only hear him.
"You clearly didn't see right. It was definitely a coyote..." stated Helena and walked away.
