March passed drearily into April, and the warmer, spring weather was very much welcomed by the students of Hogwarts. Little to nothing notable occurred, except Dumbledore hiring a centaur called Firenze to reach Divination whilst Trelawney is unable to.
Sarah and George had been loitering in the courtyard on a rainy morning when they heard the echoey sounds of horse hooves.
Sarah turned to George with furrowed brows, "Do you hear that?"
George nodded, "Horse hooves."
Their questions were answered when Firenze the Centaur galloped into the courtyard. Truthfully, the centaur was beautiful, with glistening, pearl hair and a toned stomach.
"Oh," Sarah muttered, after the centaur had moved past them.
George nudged her in the stomach, "Oi! Stop eyeing up that centaur, you have a boyfriend."
Sarah punched him in the arm, "I was not eyeing him up!"
"You so were - " George replied, as the two left the courtyard for the lesson they were supposed to be in. They bickered all the way there.
Furthermore, throughout March, Sarah found herself back on her broom with her Beaters bat in hand. She was swerving and hitting bludgers with a revived anger for them.
In classes, the Professors were rushing to revise over everything they'd covered in the past years, ready for the exams in May.
Soon enough, April came about, and days were getting longer and warmer.
Sarah was sat in Charms when she felt something hot in her pocket. She glanced over her shoulders, and once she was assured no one was watching, she pulled the DA galleon from her pocket.
Sarah felt a jolt of excitement rock her when she realised the date read for the next meeting to be tonight. For the past few weeks, Harry had been preparing the group for Patronuses.
The meeting prior, Harry had left them with something to think about.
"Alright, everyone! Before we go, I need to ask you something!" Harry called, as everyone gathered together.
The group diligently listened to Harry as he continued, "What is your happiest memory?"
"Happiest memory?" Dean Thomas called out with furrowed brows.
"Of course, to cast a patronus charm, you need to think of your happiest memory!" Hermione face palmed, as the entire group let out an "Ohhh!" of realisation.
Harry beamed, "Yeah! So, I guess I'm giving you guys homework."
A few chuckles went around the room at this.
"Until our next meeting, I want you to think about your happiest memory. We've been practicing our incantations, our wand movements and our composure for this spell, and we're very close!" Harry continued, a content smile appearing on his face.
A cheer went out at this, and everyone made their way to the doors of the Room of Requirement.
So. Sarah had been thinking about her happiest memory for the entirety of the week. Fred and George had seemed to work out which memory they would use, although they were unwilling to share.
